Calling all blueshounds

AustinC | Calling all blueshounds I bought a copy of Stevie Ray Vaughn live at Carnegie Hall and can't stop playing it. I've always been a raving shredder (eg Vai, Vai and also Vai) so you can understand my surprise. Can someone enlighten me as to how he got that dirty sound without sounding dirty. It kinda sounds like two separate rigs. I heard once that he used 13-58 strings on a Strat? Thats gotta hurt! On quieter tracks like "Lenny" it sounds like a different guitar, more brittle when he cranks for the solos. Any info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks AustinC |
