The first time I heard of Stevie was when the time that my friend told me that Eric Johnson's song SRV was a tribute for him. I, then, became curious bout who he is and how he plays. Bili agad akong VCD.
Nung una, it's like parang hindi pa ko into sa music niya sa style niya medyo bago palang ako sa pakikinig kila satch, vai etc..... yung mga techincal players kaya kala ko simple lang mga pinaggagawa nia.
This year lang i started listening to some of his masterpieces at pinanood ko yung binili kong VCD long time ago. Yung mga di ko naappreciate dati, biglang nagbago, naaddict na ko sa blues and dahil dun naghanap hanap na ko ng mga bluesartist. It's all because of him.
Ngayong taon din i've decided to study blues yung mga feel and groove. And pati gitara ko, nilagyan ko ng thicker gauge kahit di na ko makatechnical. Lahat yun dahil sa kanya.
