"Sctatchin' and sniffin' through the chord" That's an awesome phrase!!

Stevie's face is tattooed on my back. A reminder that when things get bad, there is always guitar. Thx David

Just finished watching, David! This SRV Lesson is so good, it should be packed up and shipped to the Library of Congress and the Public Archives! Thank you!

Stevie Ray got a bunch of us old guys to look up from the heavy rock stuff and notice that blues was THE vehicle for guitar and then wonder why we hadn't noticed before. Maybe hard wired racism, I don't know. Thanks for the lesson

Apart that your lessons are among the best all over the Tube,you are also a very talented guitar player and a "person of light".

Stevie Ray!!!!!!! Thanks, Professor Brewster!!!!

I didn't fully get SRV until I saw footage of him play. Growing up I was into rock/metal so he flew a bit under my radar but his name would always pop up everywhere since I was obsessed with guitar. I like the blues and managed to hear him but I didn't fully "get it" until I saw that dude play. I can't remember if it was Austin City Limits first or the El Mocambo show. Let's just say I was beyond floored at what I was looking at. To this day I have yet to see anyone play with his intensity. I became hooked instantly and delved deep into all things blues. It's weird because music is mainly about a listening experience. He is one of the few guitar players where I enjoy watching him play just as much as hearing him. It's like it all makes sense when you see it. You then realize why he sounds so spectacular. I've heard a lot of guitar players in my life from many different genre's. Even though I'm still a rock n roll type of guy, I can honestly say that Stevie Ray Vaughan is the greatest I've ever seen wield a guitar. That man was so special.

Once again nice lesson. Very funky stuff

Can't believe this Behringer sounds so good. Ok....in your hands ;) Very good lesson as always.....thx David

Awesome lesson, Thank's! You really nailed the tone too! Cant believe it's been 30 year's already since Stevie's gone.

I like how you move around the neck showing various ways to play chords just using triads. Gives a good perspective on their use.

Great lesson David! Thank you!

great job, explaining things. I actually saw that same SRV lesson first and wanted to figure out some of those chords and here i found your video explaining exactly that. Thanks!!

Oh thank you !!!!!!

David- your amp continues to amaze me-even on your normally used rock gain channel (2) with the volume rolled back, you nail the SRV tone with the neck pickup. Use of the volume knob has been unfortunately a dying art. Thanks for keeping it alive! PS-maybe do a rant video on using the volume knob effectively! Rock on brother!

David....you just keep killin it. Thanks for all your content! This is my "go to" site! Good memories from Dallas pro shop on the walkway dude

Great Video. One of the best SVR lessons on his rhythm playing.

Fantastic lesson of SRV chords. Easy to see & follow thankyou for sharing 👌🙏

Definietely a Lesson I will be watching over and over again!! Thanks for your awesome lessons!!!

You kick butt,on every lesson,I enjoy watch all your stuff,a true master,and teacher thanks so much,

Great lesson thank you! Am a big SRV fan and you have cleared up a few things for me right here :)

Your lessons and approach is really the best, thanks Dave!

Always enjoy your posts. Thanks for the tips! Like how you use the ‘Teach a man to fish’ approach. Never be another Stevie. He definitely had something so special about his playing, tone, writing, singing and performing. On one hand you could say that it was just stuff that he borrowed from a hundred different places, but the Blues ain’t new. He was keeping music alive that touched him. What he did, and how he did it was so legitimate that his legacy is being carried by the thousands of people that he touched with his music.

Startin' off jamin' on Testify! Sounding awesome!

Thank you David

Awesome as always David!!!! Definitely Nice to see this!

I'm going to have so much fun with this lesson . Amazing guitarist . Amazing teacher, thank you Dave

Great video/lesson Dave! A buffet of b7s and #9s.

That was beautiful! Honestly, I don't know what to say. I am sure I learned about SRV from a guitar magazine in the early 80's. Hearing Texas Flood just floored me. You could hear, as you say, the attitude in his playing on the records. Being a so called thrash metal player, he was huge for me (and still is) back in the 80's. To this day I will play SRV and my sons (19 and 20) will say 'good choice'.

Calm, Clear & full of the best chords ever....SRV....Live on

Greetings from Scotland. I have been. SRV fan for years but this is the first really great explanation of some of his techniques. In this lockdown times I know what I will be practising in the coming days and weeks. Keep up the good work your lessons are really inspiring

Thank you Dave. Love Stevie Ray. He's what I listened to during my secondary school years. Taught me a tonne of guitar theory. Great lesson and great sound yet again. It's important to get the sound right for SRV. He is massive in my life. Cheers.

I love the way you teach man. I'm a fairly accomplished player, and you still manage to teach me a lot. Thanks a bunch!

Thank you once again.

Thanks David great lesson, your strat sounds great too

You are incredible. Brilliant blend of playing and teaching. I love that I need to slow and pause to learn these parts. You are not assuming we are novices and spending far too much time on each step. Your lessons have been a wonderful find. Love your approach. Thanks!

I also loved your video on eric Johnson. Your awesome

I’d take a great musician that can’t read music any day. Stevie felt music and then demonstrated what that felt like. Hats off to you for showing us so we can too play Stevie style. Stevie’s talent is an understatement! I don’t think words can describe how wonderful is ability was; never ending . Stevie found life before his death and this is wonderful, and Stevie was able to share that life through his words and skills. Love you Stevie, my favorite of all time. Addicted!

SRV 4 EVER!

Great lesson, thank you!

Outstanding Man !!! Thank you very much.

thanks mate, this lesson is beyond supernatural

I dig your choice of calling it "recycled" on some of those chords. Cool way of looking at it. 😎👍

SRV What a great musician, i love his music

Thirty years and still nobody has all that under their fingers. Great lesson

Love this series!!! 😀

What a great episode ... love SRV’s music ... certainly a part of the sound track of my life ... love the content ... btw, maybe you do an episode on the guitar pick in the picture frame hanging behind you ... since I’ve been watching this channel, I’ve noticed the collection has grown ... where’d you get ‘em? Like the rest of us, front row, back stage, meet and greets ??? ... well actually I’ve never attended a meet and greet ...

Good Stuff

SRV was such an influential guitarist! Just think if he would have lived longer? Great Lesson!

Thanks for this and all of you vids. The best.

Another great lesson. I have a lot to work on now. Lol. Thanks.

Your lesson has really helped me to get S.R.V'S style . IT was so elusive until now .

Awesome!

Great lesson thanks!!!

Mr. David, bless your soul because you've captured the essence of SRV. I have heard numerous guitar players with a high level of virtuosity that can play SRV note for note, and to me that is no different than listening to a sterile representation of his playing. You sir, have managed to capture the mood that allowed SRV to play according to how he felt at that particular instant. -Respect, -G

Excellent video, sharing with us the talent of the « Master » SRV! Thanks! 🙏🏻

Excellent video.

Awesome,

💙😎🎶🎸🎶💙😎thank you

I've been looking for this lesson for a long time! Thanks for making it!

Man, you`ve got such a bad ass tone!

Yo,Great lesson man,i thank you!!!

Really appreciate these chord lessons, so many for lead playing which is great but it’s always been hard to find great chord lessons like this. Thank you!

I was a world away in the Gulf War the day he died, i cried...thanks Mr. Late Night...

Nice!

Great lesson!! Thank you for breaking it down and bringing it to us.

A chordplay on Eric Gales would be awesome

Thanks man !

Love your channel.

Keep This Stuff Comin' Man. I get a lot from your instruction. In my college days the band I was in was graced with a sit-in by Derek Trucks we played "TESTIFY". He could not have been more than 13 or 14.

Really enjoy what you are doing😊

Great video man!

Great lesson David! I have been playin' E7#9 forever on Testify! Thanks I can definitely hear you are correct, Em7 no 5.

I never knew I needed Tiger King's Rick Kirkham teaching me how to play the blues.

Great lesson. I can’t follow the count on Texas Flood. Which is awful since I live in Houston. 🤪

Jimmy Vaughan Lesson would be very nice, Jimmy Vaughan did bending more traditional 50's blues

Great Lesson, wish we could see some of the turnaround fingerings at the top, especially for those of us trying to follow along in standard. Can follow most of it though, you nailed the chord voicings, Stevie said he couldn't read music but he must have known how to make chord shapes and voicings, from the notes.

Sounds amazing and great !! Would you mind share gears in MV ( Ex: guitar model, effects, amps...), thanks a lot.

Love your sound/tone, please provide a quick rundown of your rig for this lesson. Or a link if you have already answered that question.

Testify is actually a Jimi Hendrix instrumental that he played during the Chitlins Circuit and when he got hired by the Isley Brothers in the early 60's.

How is the Impellitti Chords Video going? Definitely looking forward to seeing that one!!!

Stevie used that superstition chord as the 5 chord in Cold Shot also.

Love the accent ben eller has the similar accent . I love an hss strat. Very sexy guitar and very versatile. Fat strat life

Finally understood that weird chord of his..thanks

Woah, I just noticed that you changed pickups. What are you rocking in there now?

Great Stuff Sir ♪♫♪♫ Caught Stevie in 86 at the Kingswood Music Theater in Toronto then in 88 warming up for Robert Plant at Maple Leaf Gardens That show should have been the other way around imo. Then had a last influence of him in 89 once again at the Kingswood Music Theater once again

Could you please do Phillip sayce, thank you

You do a GREAT job breaking down SRV licks. Big time SRV here! What signal chain are you using? Thanks again for sharing.

Who's better? Stevie Ray or Billy G.? In your opinion.

David, new pickups or pickup covers?

How about the chords of The Mars Volta???

love you lesson my friend wish you would slow it down just a little. lol

Stevie inspired me to take up the guitar, but I can't for the life of me play the electric version of Pride and Joy! I can't quite that Texas Shuffle rthymn right. Your lessons are great. Can you a lesson on Pride and Joy...?

That is the most Versatile amp ever made that you have apparently Sweet Tone !!! ? ?? Which old blues player was know as the Million dollar man?

You have a great tone & superb channel, Ive learned a lot from your ZZ top and SRV 3 licks series thank you ! what's the amp your using and were you using any pedals during the ZZ top & SRV series ?

🎶❤️

how did you get this tone?! amazing! great lesson!❤ congrats

what BPM you recommend for practice the 1st one (Em strumming) with a metronome ?

Awesome as usual! What about some chord play episodes of the Southern rockers: Blackfoot. Molly Hatchet, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Outlaws etc. And as a kicker what about Skid Row?

Great lesson. Are there tabs for it?
