I just came across this channel and would have to agree. To me, subtle nuances and inflections are what separates the great players from the good ones.
Especially how he explains it, most of the RU-vid teachers it's hard to listen to them, because they talk so much around it, Justin keeps it simple, that's awesome
Just joined a wedding band and need to learn this one. Searched last week and said "oh, man, no Justin lesson on Pride and Joy?" But then, just like that, Justin delivers! Thanks for doing what you do!!!!
I know that I’m WAAAAAAYYYYY late to this party, but MY GOODNESS I really like and appreciate your instruction. Clear. Concise. Accurate. Easy to follow. Encouraging. Specific on Technique. Thanks, Justin - I appreciate you!!!
really well done - too many players don't cop the count of the intro correctly - you nail it. also totally right about the circle picking/strumming ... it's the little 'rake' of the muted strings that creates the essential pulsing rhythmic component of the part ... you even nailed the little G# grace note on the walking bass line between the G and the B - almost inaudilbe at tempo but really creates the difference between 'ok' and 'really good' ... super lesson - thanks for sharing it
Aprendí a tocar esta canción gracias a ti. La semana pasada, el colegio de mi hija que es católico, nos pidieron a los padres que participaremos en el aniversario mostrando un "talento" y me anime a subir con una guitarra acústica y tocar "Pride And Joy" que aprendí gracias a ti. Además de 2 padres que conocían al la canción, los otros padres y niños no la conocían. Yo y mi "mal Ingles" los hicimos vibrar. Ahora ellos piensan que soy un maestro de la guitarra blusera jajajaj Desde Chile un agradecido. quería que lo supieras
About 10 yrs ago I decided to get serious about lead guitar (was an acoustic strummer) and thought I'd start with this "little" shuffle (since I played them all the time on acoustic). So this lesson on the first few bars takes a 25 min vid (based on how many hrs of work)... and now you know why the first song I picked took 6 mths to learn... lol! But, while it was an eye opener for sure, I don't regret any of it... so much to learn, and to understand how the great players make the difficult look sooo easy. Great work explaining the technique's... I use a touch less muting, but you've got the original recording sound spot on... nice!
I have seen many tutorials on Pride and Joy and you are the only one that shows the circular strumming the way SVR did it. Love your tutorials and how you do everything to show the way it is really done. You rock Justin!!
@@Cream_CurdlR Yeah once you get it down it is really easy. But getting to the point where it feels easy can be very difficult. (Its been 2 years though I'm sure you got it down by now)
Justin you're awesome. I can understand what you explain far more easily than what other guys do in Spanish, and that's much to say cause my English is awful.
Thanks Justin ,I like it how you give good solid advice with your tutorial the little things that need attention,and I especially like your humility your a great teacher who's not afraid to admit when you not quite sure about a piece your teaching,you have helped me learn so much in the last few years thanks again Justin.
That shuffle is just mind boggling,been playing for a year,but that is just....i`ll try really slow ,until i lose interest and start some new song,somethng with 0 3 5. Thanks Justine
Hey Thanks From Scotland, I already Play this but like you Said its a hard one to nail perfectly the strumming got to me, STRAIGHT AWAY you showd the circle technique Helped me Big Time thanks Mate,
Once you learn Texas raking style, it’s very natural and you probably will use it a lot. It’s one of those things you can’t learn from reading tabs. The funny thing with my experience was, until I learned how to do this I had trouble playing clean, one note at a time. There are a few Blues techniques where you let notes ring out. That gave me a lot more control over how I wanted what I was playing to sound. --- It’s an A chord. It’s E5 to A. --- Breaking it down to triplets at the last part is extremely helpful.
The very best lesson on this iconic SRV classic. I will no doubt be playing this song wrong the rest of my life, but this takes some of the mystery out of Stevie's masterful rhythm technique. Thanks, Justin! BTW, I'm always impressed how you are able to count the beats while simultaneously playing a challenging rhythm or lick. Cheers!
Justin, thank you so frickin much for this lesson man. You were so right! The individual note licks are so fun to play in this song, but the "Texas shuffle" is definitely one of the trickiest parts about this song. Thank you for breaking it down and offering insight and tips to improve technique on this
Wow. I wish I would of seen your lesson for this song a long time ago… You play this rhythm *FAR* better than any one else Ive seen. My version sounds as average as the other instructors I was listening to, but yours really stands out! Honestly. Ive got some work to do, but you inspired me to polish my technique. (the struggle continues…ha)
This is gold, I don't know how long you spent making this video but great job! Now because of you i finally have the concept of the strum/mute to start working on it and I thank you so much for that Justin!
That hitting the 4th fret low E as an upstroke in this piece Justin is the key. I always thought he was just hammering it on and the top strings were muted as usual. Problem is that means the low note is not sounding out as good when you only hammer and gets drowned out with the high notes.
Very help full been struggling with this and even if I don't get it. Perfectly. I get that sound. ,I can't read music so this is a big help,,, Thanks,,,
WOW. Just to attempt to teach this style is formidable. Very well done Justin, one of your best. My bank holiday has now become rather more difficult and very interesting!! Best wishes Tim
Nice. I check out a lot of these and it is seldom done correctly. You did it right on the high string chording/muting! Very well done and impeccable attention to detail!
I'm glad your back, can you tell us what pedals you used for this particular lesson thanks. Btw congrats on being a daddy enjoy it cause kids grow up pretty fast
Play the first 35 seconds of this at 1.5x speed and watch him chug away. You're welcome. Love this btw. I'm a guitar noob but this gives me a chance of learning this ridiculously catchy riff by SRV. Thanks!
When you thought you play decent good guitar and get humiliated by the master srv, the notes are so simple as they can be, but the strumming thing is extremely hard😳
@@stevehaines6567 yeah for sure, then you can show us how it's done, maybe you can play that like srv behind your back with a pipe in your mouth, if it's that easy
Hi Justin, Seen a lot of your stuff over the years and I never doubted your talent, but I confess when I saw that you had a pride and joy video i was dubious, but you nailed it! Thanks
By far the best tutorial on this title. Thanks a lot. Still happy to learn that you also encountered difficulties for this riff, cause, given your excellent level, that reassures me... one more thanks 😀A french musician
Hell, I gave you a thumbs up just for the enthusiasm... The intro sounded pretty good expecially compared to other lessons I've watched. Thanks Keep it coming.
