Stevie Ray Vaughan - Lenny

SRV is one the modern guitar gods who played blues music and guitars through his heart and soul. He has inspired many other musicians and guitarists like Steve Vai, Eric Johnson, John Mayer, etc.

The 10th track of Stevie Ray Vaughan's debut album, Texas Flood, Lenny is a beautiful piece of guitar solo SRV wrote for his wife Lenora "Lenny" Bailey.

According to a comment on YouTube, "Stevie saw a guitar in a music store window and wanted it but he couldn't afford it. When his wife, Lenny, heard this, she pooled together with a group of her friends to buy it for him. when they gave him the guitar he was so thrilled, he stayed up the whole night writing this song on it. He even named the guitar Lenny." (I ain't sure if this is true but sound convincing to me, though)

So let's just listen to this wonderful, bluesy and easy music of SRV, and you gotta feel the love in it!
