If you want to learn to play blues guitar<\/a>, you need three things. Those things are patience, a decent guitar and a reliable tuner<\/a> (to be fair, the guitar tuner\u2019s a given, whatever<\/em> style of music you\u2019re playing).<\/p>\n

You also need inspiration, and they don\u2019t come much more inspiring than the late, great Texas wunderkind, Stevie Ray Vaughan<\/a>.<\/p>\n

A monster in his time, Stevie Ray played like Jimi Hendrix<\/a> and Albert King<\/a> rolled into one. He was a master rhythm and lead guitarist, a passionate vocalist and a consummate songwriter. When he tragically died in a helicopter crash in 1990, the world lost a legend and a true original.<\/p>\n

In celebration of the great man\u2019s birthday \u2013 which would have been October 3rd<\/sup> \u2013 we\u2019ve put together the Roadie selection of four of Stevie Ray\u2019s greatest live performances.<\/p>\n

Check \u2018em out! Oh, and if you make it through this list without wanting to pick up your Fender Stratocaster<\/a> and play, there must be something wrong with you!<\/p>\n
