I love SRV. I've seen one of his live shows, but I don't think it was with his brother, can't remember. I wish I could have seen him before he died.

He is playing the guitar behind his back and not missing a note.

The guitar is just referred to as his #1 as I recall. He had the neck replaced at least twice I think and it was refretted many times. He used a very heavy gauge string in order to get the tone he wanted. Truly an awesome talent.
Fender has an SRV version nowadays that is modeled after the #1.

I've got that DVD and it rocks! His first appearance he looks totally drugged out and on edge, his last he looks great and is having a blast! I understand he tunes his guitar a half octave lower to get that sound. I'm not a guitarist but someone who can cover him well told me that.
I'll never forget big Mike dissin' Stevie. Maybe that's why we haven't seen much of him lately?

He is definitely in my top 5 favorite artists. I have all his albums and his rendition of "Little Wing" still gives me chills.
