How about an SRV style lick


Recommended Posts

I made up a video lesson for this Stevie Ray Vaughan lick the other day, using my new HD camera and I also got a decent microphone for the camera.

 

This is a lick that SRV often played variations on. I bet you recognize it. Have a listen to Texas Flood, for example.

 

Comments welcome. :)

I eagerly await every new lesson you post. For a variety of reasons, you demonstrate and describe these perfectly for the way I learn-thanks a million for the effort!

Great to hear guys! I am glad it's working. If you have any suggestions for other guitar licks by other guitarists in a style I may be able to do, let me know.

Your description says it's in E but I know it's not E major 12, so I am assuming E minor 12? It seems to fit right.

 

 

I am not sure what you mean, but this lick works great over a blues in E.

I'd love to see more funk rhythm guitar stuff and some jazz licks like the Parker lick.

Once again, your site is absolutely fantasdic, so much great stuff from different styles, and like others said, you do explain stuff very thoroughly and easy to understand!

Thanks for the great clips!!!:thu:

I think you mean it's a E minor Pentatonic at the 12 position? Yes,

that is correct. He is also including a diatonic note (F#) and a chromatic

passing tone (F) in this riff.

It's E minor Pentatonic at the 12 position - as noted several times.

 

I'd like to see something more colorful and away from typical - but still blues. The one provided is just an augmented version of the blues pentatonic standard lick. Great for beginners though. I can play those types of things til the cows come home. ;) Will have to check out your site for more inspiration. :D

Good job, looks very professional, but -

I think you should add a metronome to the lesson, because the lick doesnt start at the first beat...

Who's Randy Rhoads?

 

Is he the guy who setup Rhoadesia and the Rhoads Scholarship?

 

Did you know Bill Clinton was a Rhoads Scholar?

Thanks guys, I often play this type of lick starting on the first beat, but this lick will work fine if you start on a different beat too. You can come up with lots of variations on this lick - just use your imagination and change the ending or the beginning as you feel fit. I guess it's a standard SRV lick and useful to know some of these, but I agree, it's not very original.

Yeah, but, at least you're putting this stuff out there. I found your little lesson on 'Cold Shot' very cool. You forced me to purchase it on iTunes and start learning it. Darn you! ;) Another SRV song to put under the belt whether it's more difficult (Texas Flood) or not. Now I have your lessons bookmarked for perusal.

 

Thanks!
