I'm really enjoying this. I was a close friend of SRV and he'd love this. The irony is he'd put me in charge of finding him a jazz guitar instructor. Stevie Ray love to learn guitar and he paid as much attention to a guy in a dim lite night club in The French Quarter as he did Clapton. Thanks for the licks....
Thanks. Just playing out of a line 6 AMPLIFi. Sounds pretty good going direct to pc. If I could, I would do what the other guy said - fender amp + tube screamer.
The cool thing about just studying up some tasty licks is you burn them into your brain and then can bust them out in all sorts of places while you are playing. It really opens up your creative potential and a nice catalogue of quality licks is something that will really help a player improve his lead and fill playing I have found.
The idea of using existing licks in improvised playing never really appealed to me I always felt like when creating or improvising all of it has to come from yourself although it may be fun just to hear these licks incorporated on different backing tracks with added improvisation
Haha, that's awesome! I already knew a few of these, & learned/incorporated a few as well, but I was thinking to myself, as one lick played after another, that a musical person could learn these 20 licks alone, & as long as they had the musical ear to put them together in an improvisational setting, they could be a very convincing guitarist haha. So, I'm not surprised by your assertion. Congrats!
Who dislikes this? This is the best channel on YT out there with regards to blues licks. I have been searching for this for years.. been stuck with soloing for 4 years now. I will learn all the licks on this channel and start improving my playing!! Thank you for this channel man.
These licks are very cool and most helpful. There's so much to learn even AFTER the technical part to get the phrasing just right. Thanks very much GLD.
He will even Reply back and thank folks. Humility mixed with greatness. This dude is a supreme bad ass and could play in any band on the planet. I mean what’s even cooler is that he gives u the note for note lesson with tab but I understand it is Stevie’s material but this guy does it with his own flavor It’s still as dead on and I’m sure he could totally copy him with his tone gear etc. I think he gets it close and then works his own magic. Dude could play with Stevie no doubt about it.
I´m doing this lesson, lick by lick...and in a parallel I´m practising them all, over a G blues backing track, combined, slightly modified and trying to fit them in my own fingerings and shit....man...yu´ve changed my life. Thanks from SPAIN!!! SUSCRIBED!!!
Well...I´m stopping at lick number 10...too much excitement for a Thursday...What an amazing analysis of SRV style in just a bunch of licks...Of course, I know ...SRV is infinitely more than any comprehensive set of licks. But these licks so well chosen, cut and presented...I cant find the words to thank you man. What an amazing foundation to build your personal arsenal of ideas and fingerings....
You've nailed it and I'm so grateful for the time you have spent sharing it with us all...thank you so much...my guitar will beat me up if I dont learn it....
This is the best teacher on u tube bar none. Usually players that are this good aren’t good teachers. This guy is unreal. I would love to watch a documentary on this dude.
So I remember using these I guess when it kind da first came out and just coming across it again now i hear a lot of what i like to play came from this lesson. Still not the speed and sound that I would like but it has made play a bunch of fun. Thanks
Thank for lessons. I've been trying to transfer into lead guitar after just playing chords for 10 yrs and this is an awesome quick lick lesson. Thank again
Great! I play guitar since I was 14 (now I'm 38), but I never studied blues licks too much. I found on this video some very useful tricks that improve my skills.
Great video, I wish I'd have had resources like this a few decades ago !! My problem (largely an affliction of getting older,LOL) is that it turns out I either already did a lot of these licks, or the new ones I'm picking up here, my brain won't remember in an hour !! Still, I'm gonna mess with this a bit more !
Dude I thought this would be hard, but it was really easy to follow along, the only hard part is to cram it all in my head so I can remember it good enough to play
thank you so much for this. i always felt like i was doing an impression of srv when i tried playing like him but this is a really great breakdown of the foundations of his playing. thanks a lot
Great lesson.I got a lot out of it.It made a strong impact.I like your breakdown and explanation of the licks.You made it easy to understand.I also like the "outside" notes-blue note,major pentatonic note that you incorporate into the licks.The normal and slow speeds demo was also helpful.I'll be moving on to my next lesson with SRV-open licks in E lesson.Thank you very much.
Just going back to this again, I don't know if you still view these comments, but if you do It would be nice to know how you got the tone , as it is the closest i have heard. thanks for helping all of us learn more from this icon.
This is great stuff, thank you! It can be intimidating trying to break SRV's stuff down by ear; this really helps to show how basic, but incredibly original and imaginative, his approach really was.
20 Easy Stevie Ray Vaughan Licks + Awesome intro without tabs to train your ear There are some really nice licks in that intro! That start yo! Kinda similar to lick No. 1: e---------8^--6-------------6^ b--8--8---------8--8~-8----
