\nCouldn’t Stand the Weather (1984)<\/strong> and Soul to Soul (1985)<\/strong> further confirmed his brilliance. After overcoming substance addiction, In Step (1989)<\/strong> earned him a Grammy Award<\/strong>.
\nSRV played with exceptionally heavy strings (.013 gauge<\/strong>) and a very high action, producing a huge tone and remarkable sustain, but requiring considerable physical strength<\/strong>. His fingers were covered with thick calluses<\/strong>, and he could break strings during concerts without missing a beat. His wide, expressive vibrato is often regarded as one of the finest in modern blues.<\/p>\nDeath and Legacy<\/h2>\n
