You can play in the same key as Stevie Ray Vaughan in GCEA tuning, if you put your capo on the 2nd fret!
And if anyone wants to figure out a riff and play it at jam time...let me know and we'll work it in!
"The House is Rockin'" is the first track of In Step, Stevie Ray Vaughan's fourth and final studio album with Double Trouble released in 1989. Vaughan would record one more album, in collaboration with his brother Jimmie, before his tragic death.
Stephen "Stevie" Ray Vaughan (October 3, 1954 – August 27, 1990) was an American musician, singer, songwriter, and record producer. In spite of a short-lived mainstream career spanning seven years, he is widely considered one of the most influential electric guitarists in the history of music, and one of the most important figures in the revival of blues in the 1980s.Earning six Grammy Awards and ten Austin Music Awards, he was inducted into the Blues Hall of Fame in 2000, and the Musicians Hall of Fame in 2014. Rolling Stone ranked Vaughan as the twelfth greatest guitarist of all time. In 2015, he was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.On August 26, 1990, Vaughan performed two shows with Eric Clapton at Alpine Valley Music Theatre in East Troy, Wisconsin. Some of the musicians boarded four Chicago-bound helicopters, which were waiting on a nearby golf course. One of the helicopters, with Vaughan and three members of Eric Clapton's entourage crashed into a hill. All on board, including the pilot, Jeff Brown, were killed.
