Collect all the others afterwards, except for the essential "Texas Flood".

I recently "lucked into" an eBay deal for a copy of "The Essential Stevie Ray Vaughn and Double Trouble," a two-CD set. Great stuff. (Has "Texas Flood," too.) :cool:
Saw another thread on this forum about books with info on Stevie's tone, and now of course I can't locate all the ones I have with him in them. One that doesn't say anything about his strings, but does have standard notation and tab for "Pride and Joy," is HL00695348, Blues/Rock Guitar Masters by Andy Aledort. It's from the Signature Licks Series. It does mention that he tuned down a half step. (Low to high: Eb-Ab-Db-Gb-Bb-Eb.)
I think I saw a reference in one book to SRV using a .013 1st string, and on up to .056. Whew.
