SRV had an almost supernatural ability to combine raw blues emotion with lightning-fast, technically precise playing. Unlike some virtuosos who focus purely on speed or flashy licks, Vaughan could make every note sing—whether he was playing a soul-wrenching slow blues or a face-melting Texas shuffle. His tone was another signature: thick, warm, and screaming at the same time, largely from his use of his beloved Fender Stratocaster “Number One” and a careful mix of tube amps and minimal effects.
