Everyone talking about SRV as a guitar player, but he actually also was an amazing singer.

Someone should make a video of how to play like you. You ain't too shabby yourself.

You wanna play like Stevie? Live with a guitar in your hands every waking moment of the day. Ignore everything else. Jam as often as possible. Hang around other guitar players and watch them. Do what other, better players are doing and emulate them. Live, sleep, eat and breath guitar, 24-7!

Stevie is easily the 3 most important Guitarists to me personally, I got into guitar just to get his tone. It's absolutely unparalleled and unmatched to this day. A legend gone too soon.

I have no idea why people want to slam your playing. It irritates me. Great playing and video. I enjoyed it and will use it to keep on learning. And no, none of us are SRV, or Jimi. But tips on technique help me a lot. Thank you.

New SRV video = instant like

Stevie was unquestionably great. What I love the most about him, is he was an original. He was inspired by others yeah, but he didn’t try to bite their style. His power AND finesse was crazy. We’re all lucky to have had such a great musician bless us with his music

I’ve been playing for 58 years. You’re really good at this. Great energy. Run through and breakdown of the tune is effective.

Stevie did 2 things... He either made you want to pick up a guitar and dedicate your life to it, or stop playing for life!

not enough comments acknowledging this mans crazy talent. That ending solo was bad ass you killed it

*How to play guitar like Stevie Ray Vaughan* 1) Be SRV 2) There is no step two.

One thing i'v noticed Thom when various people describe Stevies tone is that they forget to mention that Stevie often played in the 'in between ' p/ups -i.e neck & middle position. He doesn't on numbers like 'so exciting' - often played on neck p/up. You played that VERY like Stevie ! If i close my eyes i would swear it was Stevie 👍😉🎸😎

Great demo/lesson.. The notes seem fairly easy but it's the technique that makes it work..Stevies the man..but so are you my friend....good stuff..👍

I love the way you talk when you're explaining something. You make me laugh 😂 lol. Always enjoy your tutorials. I've watched you on your other lessons and you sound like a different person, I like the funny one. Rock on 🤘

i really needed this lesson thank you; I love SRV so much he is the best blues guitarist that ever lived (my opinion) RIP master,only good people who left too soon

It's all in the right hand. Stevie's right hand was a constant sledgehammer. Songs like Rude Mood and Pride and Joy and Cold Shot are as much about the right hand as the left. I never really even thought about it because as a teenager I just copied him so much but I was playing around an older guy and he was seeing me play Pride and Joy and he was like "Man how do you keep your right hand doing like that???" and I was like "well I never really thought about it...." but it's all in the right hand. John Mayer also said "you might capture that intensity of Stevie for a few moments a night but Stevie MAINTAINED that intensity and that's the difference!" Very true words.

At first, I thought " Here is another video with a Tube Screamer setting .... Naah!! ... I won't waist my ..... time .... WTF !?!?! .... no fx ... Wait a minute ... the tone, the whack ... the soul of it is there !!!! ... " then my eyes pop off and now I'm blind. Perfect lesson for the SRV fan that wants that feeling in every song. Best video ever !!!!

A video about my favourite guitarist, done by my favourite youtube guitarist? Never clicked this fast on a video before in my life!

Well I’ll be dammed love this guy,used to play the guitar actually got quite good but had to run a business and broke my hand, sold all my guitars just brought a a cheap squire and started playing again 10 years on thanks to watching this man forgot how much I loved it but I’m a very bad guitar player now as never got my hand fixed,but love these lesson

Dude every time I watch you I’m always amazed with your excitement and passion for playing the guitar. It’s great how you breakdown these awesome players. Now someone needs to breakdown your guitar playing. I think you are one of these awesome players. Right on the fretboard!

You’re by far the most inspired/inspiring guitarteacher in the whole of youtube period. There! It had to be said. No, really, I hadn’t picked up my guitar in like years. Just didn’t want. But now watching you I’m instantly jamming along!!! Thank you so much.

Love your channel, your guitar playing is amazing. I would love to see you cover Rory Gallagher

I just never realised how much intricate technique was involved in Stevies playing. Fantastic. Great video.👍

Nice explanation of all the techniques involved - well done. These music breakdowns are the best way into the "heart" of the actual piece. More please ...

That riff is so Deep Purple Black Night'ish, it's great Dude 😎

I'd love to see you do this live on stage with a real band!

Guitar Pilgrim, it is a pleasure with you ☺️ thank you for putting it down so straight. And thank you using YT; so everybody can put it down easily. I am a bit older than you and had to work it out by hearing records and visiting concerts wich is a good way too. You bring your exercises clear, easy and light wich is a pleasure. Thanks! ♥️

Well I know it’s impossible for anyone to sound look and play like the great Stevie Ray but mate I absolutely love how you play and bring back the sound the style the feel that to me is and will always be my hero. My only complaint is you don’t play the whole song. That would be amazing. Keep up the awesome work you do bringing these videos. Thanks

the excitement i got when I saw a new Guitar Pilgrim video on SRV was insane. This guy is awesome!

This is my first time coming across your channel and I have to say - I absolutely love your energy.

Some things I learned from observations. 1: Have a good backing band/track. That's vital to getting the groove down. 2: Have a good grasp on Funk Rhythm. He tended to use funky riffs and rhythms in both soloing and riffing. 3: Learn the appropriate phrasing. Take from your own blues influences as well. Don't be afraid to build off his sound Then it's all mechanical like in this video.

Tom, Pls do the video about Phillip Sayce

Your videos have become instant clicks for me. Love the way you take these different guitarists styles and then break down the techniques in a step-by-step approach. And all done in about 8 minutes. Great stuff. Thanks for keeping them coming.

having a rock solid rhythm section is the whole key to his abilities ..

Killer video mate. Exactly what I was looking for. Cheers

How do you get to be as good as Stevie Ray ? By not playing in your bedroom and playing in front of anyone and everyone. He honed his skills by playing with , jamming, and very importantly listening .He collected and listened to all sorts of blues. Also he used his ear and I realize that teaching requires naming things but Stevie , Hendrix , and all great players even those immersed in theory when playing live forget it all and just play. One of the greatest improvisors ever said " Learn everything you can about your instrument then forget it all and just play." George Benson summed up great improvisation in his quote , " there are no wrong notes just poor resolution." When we teach the pentatonic boxes we literally box in the students ...dont forget about notes above or below the notes use your ear to decide what sounds good and always target chord tones to end a phrase ..or common tones . The blue notes are 3rds, 5ths, 7ths , 9ths , 11ths and 13ths...they can be flatted and sharped .Improvisation is about creating tension and release...experiment with the above notes and add them to the boxes and most of all create your own voice on the instrument THAT is the main thing to take away from players like SRV.

Easily the most slept on guitar youtuber. Keep it up man!!

Amazing and sincere Presentation! Cheers from Indonesia.

Down here in Texas, we love SRV!

Man i love this type of lesson. Only new to the Channel and got straight onto Patreon. Gotta support this type of content

Can't get enough of your SRV playing..

SRV is amazing and I love his music. I love his verify of little wing too.

That little upstroke at 00:53 (and a couple other times) was ALL SRV. Tasty. Nice tutorial.

Love your videos!!! Brazilian fan here!!! Regards 🤜🤛

Thanks for sharing the video. Just one comment if nobody has said it already... To mute the six string you can use also your index finger, as if you were playing a power chord with the root note on the 5th string. That's an alternative to use the thumb... One thing is to sound like someone, and another thing is to play like someone... As you said, when there's a will there's a way. 😉🙂 Thanks again

I know you've done video on hendrix and touched on his muting style but a video on that specifically would be fabulous,thanks already for all the quality vids!

Literally have been practicing this all day. KZfaq is listening to me.

Great lesson, would like to see you do one breaking down the solo bit.

GP >> you are an excellent teacher and player. I really appreciate your tutorials.

In the video when SRV hits they open low E with his heavy strings and Strat tone it’s just indescribably awsome. Plus he has the nastiest guitar face.

Thanks for sharing with us this amazing technique. Greetings from Buenos Aires

You sir, are as good as gold. Thankyou.

Crazy timing I am literally learning this song! Thanks for the added help! 🙏👍👍👍 Oh yeah how fun is playing this along to the background track 😯

When playing like Stevie I've found that the left hand hurts just as much as the right 😂 but it gets so much easier once you accomplish those sick bends and crazy hurricane solos

Very beautiful video, thank you very much!

Still passionate and enthousiastic!! Thanks for reminding me this song so great to play! Right in the mood of Cold shot

Thank you for this great guitar lesson on such a legend as SRV

Great guitarist and teacher. Thanks 👏👏👏👏

Saw your 100 riffs video. Loved it. WOW.

You're my favorite Blues Guitar teacher on KZfaq ❤️

Great lesson! Thank you very much for sharing this!

You are a very good teacher.

That's one of my favourite songs, specially the el macambo version. Just couldn't help smiling as soon as you start the solo part... great.. Though in your lesson you seem to forget to mention the characteristic upward stroke he often uses.. While you play it, right there at 6.53 Een soort van snik... in zn gitaarspel 😃

Wow genius 🤩👊🏻🎸❤️

I've just accepted the fact that SRV probably played better with one hand than I ever could with two, but hey awesome video as always!

Great job! Thanks you for your video, it's very helpful. One guitarist that I would love to see you study is Albert Collins.

this guys enthusiasm is something not less than SRV himself.

Thank you for sharing!!!... Very nice!!

Outstanding video. Thank you

Question is, how did SRV come up with all this? Genius

GP = guitar pilgrim = great player thanks for your work gp lead on buddy

Very interesting way of teaching... Haven't seen this... So far so good

Easier said than done. However you've done an incredible job of it!

The best way to learn how to play SRV is on an acoustic w/ a cut away. After you learn to hammer out his songs on one when you play them on the electric you understand the attack SRV used. IMHO. Texas is full of guitar players that sound just like him, same tone, same heavy gauge strings, heavy handed attack. My bass player ran one of the largest open mic blues jams in the state for years and was Smokin Joe Kubecks bassist as well. We've seen hundreds of players that have SRV down. Several legit youngsters over the years, kids 10-12 yr.s old. I frankly have heard enough but impersonation is the highest form of flattery and Stevie was a friend and a legend.

Such a good quality videos in your channel as always, thanks for the knowledge 👌🏻long live to Blues 👊🏻

I play with that amount of intensity and my fretting hand cramps up. Those circle licks from texas flood are hard.

We need the full version of your take on So Excited. Now! Great sound.

What a brilliant lesson. Thank a ton Bossman!

Thanks a lot for your videos! Great lessons! Please continue! Which stratocaster do you use? Some information about your set-up (ampli, effects)? Any videos about Joe Bonamassa? Thanks a lot!

Such a great lesson, anyone who would give that a thumbs down doesn't deserve thumbs. What else more do you want in a lesson? Anyway as always keep up the great lessons.

I love the playing and the way of teaching! Subscribed dude!

Could you take a look at Mick Ronsons work on ziggy stardust? Especially his solo from moonage daydream

I liked the video before even seeing it. The title was enough and coming from GP.

Excelente, obrigado pela aula, interpretação espetacular de SRV.

Great tutorial, thanks so much!

Love these videos!

Yeah!! I love your sound!!

I was waiting for so long for this video

Sounds great nice breakdown of the techniques!🎸

Awesome video as usual !

Awesome... Thanks for the tips!

love your energy

Kind a looks like what you’re doing with your fingers is switching between the a shaped bar chord and using the pentatonic scale above it and below it

Now you've gone and given me the delusion that this is doable. Thanks a lot!

Great job sir. Thanks for this lesson. 🇧🇷👋👏👏👏👏

Bro you got great energy 🎸

Great lesson..... great encouragement

Don’t underestimate the incredibly strong hands that Stevie had. Try playing like he did on those thick strings. After 1 minute I burn out.

Boi I’ve been waiting for this

Great playing , you nailed stevies sound 👍🎸
