But in that time, Vaughan amassed a huge amount of material that shows how technical and precise he was as a guitarist and how flamboyant and fun he was to watch as a performer.

“If a musician is on stage and you can tell they are loving what they’re doing, that really draws you to a person and that’s who Stevie was,” McCloud said.

McCloud said she first saw the exhibit when it was shown at the Grammy Museum in Los Angeles.

“I kept circling back to Stevie Ray because there’s so much,” she said. “Something different but so cool.”

Guitar aficionados will have plenty to appreciate at the exhibit, especially seeing all the guitars and other equipment that were part of Vaughan’s iconic sound. The exhibit also lets visitors take a video drum lesson from Double Trouble drummer Chris Layton and play with a pedal board that lets listeners see how the different effects affect the sound.

The exhibit also showcases some of the hats, scarves, bandanas and clothing Vaughan wore as a performer, another way he stood out from the crowd. It was the 1980s during the height of his fame, after all.
