SRV Stevie Ray Vaughan Texas-style blues shuffle played on 3 string cigar box guitar Pride and Joy

Here's my attempt to put together a basic Texas-style blues shuffle. It's inspired by Stevie Ray Vaughan's "Pride and Joy", but isn't intended to be a note for note transposition onto 3 string. The key thing is to get the rhythm going with that up and down chop, damping the bass to get a real solid chugging rhythym going. On this occasion I've used a pick, something I rarely do, but I think its easier to follow the right hand pattern if you use a pick.

Just found your channel you rock. I'm a cigarbox guitar player from Canada love your lessons you are awesome .

[@Tsoiugidali]

SRV is still the King! Even on a three string!

[@jerrymander1492]

This is an awesome demo Chicken John

[@ChickenboneJohn]

Thanks for your kind words.

[@78tag]

You have definitely captured the raw Stevie style here bud. Thanks for the demo. This is the kind of music that made me want to play in the first place. I will be checking out your 3 -4 string box builds - the simplicity is appealing. Justin Johnson does this all the time.

That’s some Awesome stuff👍🏻 Can’t hardly believe the sound you can get on 3 strings. You’ve inspired me to build a CBG

[@chickenbonejohn714]

Go ahead and make one..it's not that hard! Check my series of how to build a cigar box guitar here on KZbin.

[@lego40404]

Glad to see your still making these beauties, I still cherish the CBG Dobro you built me years ago

[@danstevens4307]

excellent!! YEEEEEEE

[@vaughnc1786]

Thanks for always showing what to do with the right hand! Cords are easy to make, but if my right hand sits there like a dumb shit it doesn't do any good!

[@LockStoppageSandwich]

Superb

[@GH-cm3rr]

Great lesson John, one to really annoy the neighbours with! Fabulous guitar by the way, one quick question, what amp were you using?

[@chickenbonejohn714]

Played thru' my Roland StreetCube EX battery amp, "lead" setting, no effects apart from a bit of reverb.

[@misterx8592]

Marshalls double stack….uh huh…💥👊🏻💥

[@harryodum5598]

Did you make your guitar? If not would you pick it up at. I would sure like to have one like that.

[@CigarboxSchulzi]

*like*

[@mattnobrega6621]

Can that be done in drop D?

[@ChickenboneJohn]

If you are playing regular 6 string, just use standard tuning, or if you want to play slide I'd put the guitar in open G, drop D will give you no real advantage over standard tuning in my view. However , if drop D is your thing, it's easy enough to transcribe it to that, but it won't really help playing it with a slide.

[@julianastin9994]

Which model of your guitar is that one please john

[@ChickenboneJohn]

Twin humbucker Aroma de Cuba. All our guitars are different, so we don't really have specific models.

[@philnoel5839]

John, I Hate you. . Only Joking, I have not got any Musical talent in me. I had my first guitar aged 8. Then at the age of 12 got friends who also wanted to be musicians . Well to be honest, I Have not got any better. I am Now 67. So even after finding CBG's with 3 strings thought ah that must be easier . So I built some . Yet I am still No better at playing, Building I am not to bad. But hey, Back then We had very little help, Burt Weedon . And today we have so much technology Even a idiot like me should be able to do it, But please keep on inspiring me , I will keep on trying .
