My guitarist, Stevie Ray Vaughan, played a very unique style of music. He played a type of music called the Texas Blues, which not many people played back then, they barely play it today.I can define the Texas blues as a subgenre of the blues. It has had various style variations but typically has been played with more swing than other blues styles. A bass guitar can be described as a guitar that has the same pitch and tunning as a double bass, usually electrically amplified to sound louder. My guitarist was was born October 3,1956 in Dallas, Texas, United States. He didn't really do anything for 13 years, until, when he was 14 years old, he started getting interested in the art of music. He learned how to play by watching his brother Jimmie play in some gig's and in the garage. Later, whenever he saw the guitar his brother played with not being used, he would pick it up and start playing. Of course he went to school and had an education, but his lure towards the bass guitar, and the music was so strong, he couldn't keep away. In fact, he once played in his brother's band, and had a solo. He did a great job doing it to. My guitarist has played songs, such as //Couldn't Stand the Weather// released in 1984 and // Soul to Soul // released in 1985. They were two of his most popular songs he wroted and performed all by himself. He was very influenced by his brother, Jimmie. He must have had a big effect on Stevie's life, because he got him interested in the world of music. Some of the types of music that influenced Stevie, was the Texas Blues and some songs of rock, but mostly he played the Texas Blues. He hasn't really influenced anybody in the world of music because of his choice and style of music. He chose the Texas Blues as his type of music he played. He may not have influenced the world of music, however, he did leave a legacy. He left his ery own, indipendent style of music. Not many people played the Texas Blues, But he is one of the very few who did play this type of music. He definitely left a very great legacy onto the music buisness. He has changed the music buisness by doing his own type of music. I have learned that he played his very own style of music, not only the blues, but the Texas Blues. Also, that he learned how to play the bass guitar from his brother, Jimmie, who also played in a band, and was just as good as his brother, Stevie Ray Vaughn. Overall, he was one of the best of guitarist i have wore about and heard.
