How do I play Like Stevie Ray Vaughan?

I know all my scales and Modes and I practice 2-3 hours a day and I do not sound anything like him!? What do I need to do to play like him?

Many years ago, a Mate of mine was learning the Sax, and He said that the best advice He ever got was “Don’t expect to play like the Best right from the start”. Are you perhaps setting your sights too high too soon?

There is a reason why “Practice” comes before “Success” in any Dictionary.

Motown 25: Yesterday, Today, Forever [VHS] $19.98 From Wikipedia: Motown 25: Yesterday, Today, Forever was a 1983 television special produced by Suzanne de Passe for Motown Records, to commemorate Motown’s twenty-fifth year of existence. (Motown was founded in January 1959, meaning that a twenty-fifth anniversary special should have aired in 1984, not 1983. One could argue that Gordy’s vision of what would become “Hitsville U.S.A.” was conceived …

10 Days Out (Blues from the Backroads) $24.98 10 Days Out may well be Kenny Wayne Shepherd’s most important and intriguing album, even though the guitarist is hardly the featured artist on any of these tracks, working instead more as a sideman and facilitator for the impressive cast of venerable blues players who get a chance to shine here. Make no mistake about it, this recording belongs to such senior citizens as Henry Townsend, Etta Baker, Pinetop Perkins, and Henry Gray, and Shepherd’s presence (and the presence of Stevie Ray Vaughan’s Double Trouble rhythm section of bassist Tommy Shannon and drummer Chris Layton) simply helps to focus the attention on these veteran blues players. Shepherd embarked on a ten-day journey into the American South in 2004 with a documentary film crew, a portable recording studio, and Double Trouble as a house band in an effort to catch the blues in its natural habitat of living rooms, kitchens, porches, back yards, and local watering holes, and the performances that resulted are priceless. Here is one-armed harp player Neal Pattman and blind guitarist Cootie Stark turning in a joyous, ramshackle version of “Prison Blues.” A little later, Stark delivers further on a delightful song called “U-Haul,” complete with a marvelous improvised rap over the tune’s run-out coda. Here, too, is the then-96-year-old Henry Townsend turning in a poignant “Tears Came Rollin’ Down.” Etta Baker, then 93, shows that age hadn’t slowed her as a guitarist at all as she delivers an elegant “Knoxville Rag.” Shepherd wisely stays in the background on cut after cut, allowing these amazing musical treasures to unfold naturally and without intrusive elements. There are absolutely no hotshot guitar histrionics anywhere on this disc, which speaks to Shepherd’s sincere vision for this project. He’s after the preservation of blues history with 10 Days Out, and as if to underscore that aim, five of the album’s participants (Neal Pattman, Cootie Stark, Gatemouth Brown, George “Wild Child” Butler, and…

61 and 49 $16.98 The sophomore release from guitarist Eldred along with Blasters members John Bazz on bass and drummer Jerry Angel is a rock ? em, sock ? em mix of high-octane rockabilly and rollicking blues drenched in Memphis soul. High-profile guests range from the late Ike Turner (on piano!) in one of his last recorded performances (Turner’s final album was also on the Zoho Roots label), Elvis guitarist Scotty Moore, Los Lobos co-founder Cesar Rosas, and ex-Fabulous Thunderbirds guitar wildman Kid Ramos. They make impressive contributions but this is Eldred’s show as he shifts from the sweet, Hendrix-inspired tone of the instrumental ballad “Ruby’s Blues” to the Chuck Berry/Stones rave-up of “Jimmy, Jimmy,” with Turner’s piano pounding like Jerry Lee Lewis in his prime. Rosas adds Latin flavor to the gospel strains of “This Old Train,” but “I Ain’t Comin’ Back” channels Stevie Ray Vaughan’s “Cold Shot” a little too closely for comfort. The recording is crisp, live sounding, and generally filled with sharp, original songwriting that takes some edgy, even extreme chances, such as on “Mr. Newman,” a song about a pedophile from his victim’s point of view. Not exactly the kind of subject matter you’d expect from a roots-rocking guitarist. That lyrical intensity is tempered by some straight-ahead Texas shuffling in the comparatively simplistic “Lookie Here” and the Ramos-enhanced “Louise.” Eldred unplugs and goes solo country-Delta for the Robert Johnson-styled title track, another change of pace in an eclectic album filled with them. The guitarist is a more than adequate singer too, and the fact that he penned all of these tunes, even as derivative as many of them are, shows he’s a triple talent as a player, vocalist, and songwriter. The two backing members create a palpable groove throughout, especially on the Booker T.-influenced instrumental “Ms. Gayle’s Chicken House,” making it obvious why they are given somewhat equal billing as a trio. Eldred’s articulat…

A Family Affair $14.98 Hallelujah! Christian McBride is not one of those strait-laced, down-the-line neo-boppers after all. Here, the prodigiously talented young standup bassist proves that he is also an astoundingly gifted electric bassist, and that ’70s-vintage funk and soul are every bit as close to his heart as ’50s and ’60s hard bop. On electric, McBride weaves inventive countermelodies around tenor sax Tim Warfield’s lead lines, taking Jaco Pastorius’ technique a step further in sheer speed and the ability to play really nasty funk patterns. The stylistic palette of the disc is much wider than anything McBride has done before as a leader, ranging from soul ballads (a lovely cover of Stevie Wonder’s nearly forgotten “Summer Soft,” Wonder-like vocals from Vesta on “…Or So You Thought”) to powerful funk (“Brown Funk [For Ray]“), open-ended electric jazz-rock (“Wayne’s World”), and yes, straight-ahead acoustic jazz grooving (on Sly Stone’s “Family Affair”). Charles Craig excels on acoustic piano, Fender Rhodes, and Wurlitzer electric pianos; drummer Gregory Hutchinson fearlessly handles any stylistic curve balls that McBride throws at him; and guitarist Russell Malone and percussionist Munyungo Jackson turn up now and then. As produced by fellow polystylist George Duke, this is a most encouraging step out of the trap of lockstep bop for McBride. ~ Richard S. Ginell, Rovi

Acid Blues Experience $17.98 It is impossible to look at the front and back covers of Stoney Curtis’ debut album, Acid Blues Experience, without thinking of the psychedelic era; the trippy artwork on this 2005 release is very psychedelic-inspired, recalling album covers of the ’60s and ’70s — and musically, Acid Blues Experience does, in fact, have some psychedelic influences. But this 68-minute CD is never psychedelic in a power pop way; Curtis doesn’t cover the Strawberry Alarm Clark’s “Incense and Peppermints” or the Beatles’ “Strawberry Fields Forever.” Instead, the psychedelic influences on Acid Blues Experience are blues-rock and hard rock influences (including Jimi Hendrix and Cream), and the singer/guitarist’s influences do not end or begin with the psychedelic era. George Thorogood & the Destroyers and the late Stevie Ray Vaughan are among the post-’60s influences, while the pre-psychedelic influences include electric Chicago blues greats like Howlin’ Wolf, Muddy Waters, Willie Dixon, and Buddy Guy. Put all of those influences together, and you have a smart, focused blues-rock/hard rock disc that gets its inspiration from different eras and paints a very attractive picture of Curtis as both a vocalist and a guitarist. Although Curtis is an excellent singer, it would be a mistake to think that his guitar playing is simply guitar playing in service of his vocals; Curtis’ guitar chops are a vital part of his musical identity, and the burning instrumental “Mulholland Shuffle” demonstrates that he can be expressive even without vocals. Curtis’ second album, Raw and Real, is a bit more essential than Acid Blues Experience, but even so, this is an impressive and promising debut from the Chicago native turned Los Angeles resident. ~ Alex Henderson, Rovi
