What Occurs When a Musician Performs Stevie Ray Vaughan’s “Pleasure and Pleasure” on a $25 Youngsters’ Guitar at Walmart

There’s a max­im that claims, “It’s not the gui­tar, it’s the play­er.” And the video above bears it out.

On this clip, musi­cian Clay Shel­burn and his pal Zac Stokes vis­it a Wal­mart at 3 a.m. and decide up a Dis­ney Automobiles 2 toy gui­tar. Subsequent, they professional­ceed to play Ste­vie Ray Vaughan’s “Pride and Joy” and unleash the total poten­tial of that $25 gui­tar. The Bar­bi­es all go loopy.

In relation to the blues, any outdated gui­tar will do. That we all know. However in case you care to observe Shel­burn play the identical music on a gui­tar that runs north of $1,000, take a look at the video beneath.
