Texas Flood - Guitar Solo

"Texas Flood - Guitar Solo" is a standout moment from Stevie Ray Vaughan's 1983 debut album, also titled Texas Flood, released on Epic Records. The song itself is a cover of a blues track originally recorded by Larry Davis in 1958, but Vaughan's slow-burn guitar solo transformed it into a defining showcase of his expressive phrasing, string bending, and dynamic control. For electric guitar players, it remains one of the most instructive examples of authentic Texas blues soloing.

  • The entire Texas Flood album was recorded in just three days at Jackson Browne's personal recording studio in Los Angeles.
  • The original 'Texas Flood' was written and recorded by blues singer Larry Davis in 1958, decades before Vaughan made it iconic.
  • Texas Flood was Stevie Ray Vaughan's debut studio album, released June 13, 1983, launching one of blues rock's most celebrated careers.

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.
