Rare Stevie Ray Vaughan Acoustic (Blues Guitar Lesson)

I’ve noticed over the years with guitar players that a lot of them are afraid to play acoustic.
Of course, there are a ton of amazing electric-only players. Like B.B. King. I remember years ago reading an interview with King. In the story, he talked about how Clapton invited him over to work on some songs and just play acoustic. King did it.
But then he said he didn’t want to do it again after. Now obviously King is a master. But there is just something about acoustic guitar that keeps us all honest. And if you don’t have this muscle built up it can be rough. But I’ve also noticed that some of the most heavy-hitting guitar players of all time do both really well.
They can pick up an electric, or unplug and sound amazing either way.
And this is exactly what you will see in this rare Stevie Ray Vaughan acoustic guitar lesson. Now, for the first time ever, I’ll break down this rare acoustic video.
So grab your guitar and let’s dive in!
Chord progression:
Let’s first talk about the chords used in the intro. The entire progression is a blues progression in the key of E. Vaughan kicks off the intro with a 4-bar chord progression. It starts out on an E9 chord. Then moves to an Edim7 chord. And then finally back up to E9 before it goes into the main blues progression for the rest of the jam. Here is how these two chords are played.
E9 is played in the 9th position on the top 4 strings like this...

Pretty spot on, thanks for this lesson, wish you’d show us the rest !!

[@fernandorodriguez-fz4gh]

Triad chords were the basis for Hendrix's style they gave him the opening ability to improvise which made him extremely innovative in his career. He felt that music to. Hendrix was truly a masterpiece to us in his own right.

Great lesson 👍

[@jimkostan9932]

YOu actually MISSED the 1st fret frill,when Coming down & going into the E.But,your close,u did it the 2ed time but not ads pronounced.This is a basic & pretty easy Stevie Ray Vaughan lesson, for the beginners who are still in the learning SRV sound. That first fret, w/ 1st finger( index) ,on the G string was SRV 1st thing he LEARNED, according to the documentary, w/SRV. I was fortunate to spend some time with Stevie Ray Vaughan, June 26th,1990,,,talking guitar...Great guy...signed a Guitarist of 55+ years playing ..

[@carminetrotta5300]

No doubt you are a master. Thanks.

[@borderbluesman]

Lonnie Mack’s Oreo Cookie Blues would be another great song to learn. I’m having trouble learning the “fill” he does between the rhythm.

[@tomv.5297]

Please...I struggle too...

[@Carlos9148]

[@matthewlaw2939]

That LH lick originally

[@supernovateloresume]

[@KylePurdy-f7j]

Lightin Hopkins

[@matheushartwig]

What is the tunning?

[@nunocanha7062]

Standard tuning half step down, I believe

[@fernandorodriguez-fz4gh]

That rhythm is infused with Hendrix techniques. The triads is what makes it possible. Hendrix manipulated the scale with minor and major scales at the same time. The triad chords was his go to.

[@onenmeyi648]

Desperate for the full lessons
