Texas Flood

"Texas Flood" is a blues standard performed by Stevie Ray Vaughan and Double Trouble, featured on their 1983 debut studio album Texas Flood. Originally written by Larry Davis, Vaughan's version became a defining moment in blues-rock guitar history. For electric guitar players, it is an essential study in slow blues phrasing, expressive string bending, and Vaughan's signature heavy-gauge tone that transformed the genre in the early 1980s.

  • "Texas Flood" is a slow blues in a minor key — ideal for practicing expressive vibrato and sustained string bends.
  • Stevie Ray Vaughan used heavy .013 gauge strings, contributing to the thick, powerful tone heard throughout this track.
  • The song appeared on Vaughan's 1983 debut album, which is widely credited with reviving mainstream interest in blues guitar.

SRV's heavily worn '63 'Number One' with thick .013-.058 strings and responsive single-coils defined his expressive, dynamic tone. The guitar's worn frets and responsive pickups let him control saturation purely through picking attack and volume knob, a cornerstone of his finger-driven style.

SRV used the TS9 as a clean boost with minimal drive, maxing the level to push his cranked tube amps into heavier saturation while adding midrange focus. This approach preserved his dynamic control and kept the tone transparent, letting his fingers shape every nuance of sustain and breakup.
