No doubt, April!

Thank you so much Eric! I appreciate ya brutha!

Thanks so much man! I really appreciate that!

No problem. I have learned the song several ways lol, with slides, bending the G String etc., but the slide using the same finger seems to be the key. I am now a Subscriber. Thanks for your lesson. T

@@Musicsports thank you, T!!

@@Musicsports BTW, I plan to do a follow up video on Scuttle Buttin' soon!

Hey iZac! That's awesome, man! You must be referring to the 10,000 HOUR concept from Malcolm Gladwell's book, Outliers. But I suspect even doing something 10,000 times would raise your proficiency considerably! I piddle around on the piano a little myself, and I'm still getting better with time, even at my age;) That's really cool that you got that good in two years though. Good luck with your music!!

Best of luck! Hope my breakdown helps!

Thank you Rob! And I agree Johnny Winter was one best there's ever been;)

Muchas gracias, Marcelo Enrique! Thanks for watching!

Strictly my pleasure, Steve! Thanks for watching, mate!!

It was my pleasure bro! Happy pickin', and thanks for watching!!

Thanks man! And thanks for watching!

Thanky TC!!

Thank you Daniel. I really appreciate you watching! Check out latest upload from yesterday. It's Stevie Ray's "Couldn't Stand the Weather".

Thanks so much for watching Dave! I appreciate the kind comment.

Thanks so much for watching, Mike!

Thanks so much KingBee! And thanks for the Sub! Hope all is well in the UK!

@@ChuckJonesMusic all is good so far here, hope it's good where you are ✌️

VacantHaven I meant to tell you, I’m a Rory Gallagher fan from way back! I saw him live at a club in Memphis when I was just a teenager!

Thank you so much my friend! I truly appreciate you watching!

Hey John, first of all, thanks for watchin' brutha! Second, which seam are you referring to? My playin' or my video editing;)?

@@ChuckJonesMusic Aw man, I was just goofin with ya. Just a little blip at 1:38 or so, no biggie. I'm working on this one and been watching a lot of different styles, not even to the solos yet. On the Em9 and A7 chords in the main riff, after down on the bass note I like to strum it U-U-U-D(muted)-U. I've seen Stevie do it like that at least some times and it seems like it has the right energy flow. Also, someone somewhere said he recorded the song with the first part of the riff on the G string as a bend cause he's a monster, but later after touring with it for a bit, he decided to go with the slide. Maybe saved him breaking some strings, I guess?

​@@johnharreld4875 Ha ha! Yeah, what you're seeing there is when I edited two video takes together;) I can't recall how I do the rhythm riff, but probably mostly down strokes. As for Stevie bending that main riff on the G string, I don't doubt that he recorded it that way. That's what I thought when I first learned the song from the record when it first came out. We didn't have KZfaq then to check his live performances;) But after it taking so much energy to bend that G string, I finally started sliding it way back then. More lately when I saw videos of him sliding it, I assumed he just always did. But seeing as he played heavy strings (little E was a 13 or so I've heard), I don't blame him for not wanting to bend that G string any more than he had to! It's a chore for me even with 10s!

Roger, I can’t thank you enough for the kind words. Thank you, thank you. I truly do appreciate it. I wish you all the best in your musical journey!

Thanks man! I appreciate you watching!

Thank you for watching Andrea!!

Glad to do it Jonny Lynn! Thanks for watching!

Yeah man, you're absolutely right. Thanks for bringing that to my attention! I actually play it both ways in the full performance at the start of the video, but I have it as a semiquaver triplet on the tablature/notation and in the breakdown part of the video. I learned the tune so long ago, guess I got it twisted in my mind somehow;)

Like really !!he finishes a quarter beat early!! At that speed mate who fucking cares !!

Who repremanded you chuck about the 1/4 beat..!! STRAVINSKI or sumthn.

,Chuck kindly responded to my comment and said that he plays the lick better now ,without the quaver triplet and that he was aware of the difference in how he plays it since he posted the video.

Thanks Daniel, for having my back;) But Monkeysbum999 is correct, and I'm always open to constructive criticism! I think I actually started playing the lick as a triplet subconsciously, to give me that extra quarter beat to get back to that bottom E string, due to the fact that the song is so dang fast! BTW, I just uploaded the corrected TABs to my website. Also, I recently learned from another KZfaqr that SRV actually did use hybrid picking on this lick, a fact he noticed when manipulating and improving old footage of SRV performing the song. So, I was wrong about that as well;) And, ya'll let me know what you think about my most recent upload (yesterday) of SRV's Couldn't Stand the Weather. That one was a real bear;) I noticed a couple of mistakes in the tutorial part myself, after uploading. Would love it if ya'll are moved to share any of this stuff. Trying to build my channel to the point I can actually make a little money off of it;)

Thanks so much for watching, Jorge!

Michael, I appreciate it! And thanks for watching!

Thanks so much! Never been to Brazil, but maybe one day;)!

Thanks so much for watching Emilio!

My pleasure man! Thanks for watching!

Thanks Jake! I love your voice too dude!

Thanks Earthman!!

You are too kind my friend. Thanks for watching!

Thanks! I appreciate that!

Giles Ashley Thanks man! I appreciate that!

thebikechick, Two of my favorites too!

Thanks so much for watching, Peter!

Thank you my friend!

No doubt, James! I saw him do it live a time or two. I've learned, since I did this breakdown of his studio version, that he actually did use a little hybrid picking on the main lick!! Thanks for watchin'!

Thanks man! I appreciate you tunin' in!

Thanks for watching, Thomas!

Glad to have you Pops! Thanks for watching. I'm about to post another SRV video tomorrow!

Thanks for watching, as always, Jeff!

Thanks Mike! I'm using a Jeff Beck Signature Strat in this video. The pickups are the Fender "Noiseless" or "Hot Noiseless" that came stock on it. I bought it second hand, but I believe they're set pretty much as they came from the factory. I dig the pickups. They sound good and punchy. As for amp and effects, I'm using the Logic Pro X DAW, playing through a Steven Slate virtual amp plug-in (with effects), the Overloud TH-U, I think it's called. Inside that plugin, I've selected the Bassface '59 head, through the Tweed '59 cab, with the following virtual stomp boxes: Tube Nine (Tube Screamer) RSS Compressor, D-Reverb. It's a really cool plug-in, but I like the Guitar Rig from Native Instruments as well. Good luck with the tune man!

Much appreciation my friend!

Ha! Man, I appreciate the vote of confidence;) Thanks for watching!

Thanks man! I have not tried Slow Downer. I'm assuming it's another way to slow down a track without affecting pitch? Also, thanks dude, for sending the link to the guy who figured out the middle finger picking trick Stevie used on this song. I've always had trouble getting this sucker up to speed myself. That trick should help though;)!

Chuck Jones Music no way, yours is awesome! i’m big altpicker aficionado from years past: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/gsmBfs2Xy96tf40.html

Ha! Very kind of you man. I had to struggle to pick it this fast, and it's still a few clicks behind where Stevie played it. It would not have been such a struggle though, had I known Stevie was using some alt picking. I was trying to get it under hand as close to the way he played it as possible, just cuz;) I've been finger picking, playing classical, etc., since I was a teenager myself, so I'm no stranger to alternative picking. I think I even tried it on this, but decided at the time it would be cheatin'!!!;) I've been practicing it a bit today using his middle finger alt on that one note, and dang if it don't make a heck of a difference. Here's a toast to modern video editing and the dude on Texas Blues Alley spottin' this!!

Chuck Jones Music very cool. to be honest i meant ‘alternate picking’ up/down... not hybrid. ;) ala the string jumps of Mclaughlin to the lines of Dimeola! :)) but yes, nowadays i’m big on the thumb and a finger or two. ✌️... i’m still with the pick, too, though... gotta have for SRV! ...you picking is Great!

ichisatori All good man!! And thanks for the props! I think you said alt picking, as did I, but I think we really are talking about hybrid tho, right? We were already using alt picking (alternating up and down strokes), but by mixing in a finger picked note, as in the middle finger trick, that makes it hybrid. At least that’s my understanding;) I guess I meant to say “hybrid” myself!

Ha ha! Hey Bill, are you talking about SRV or you?;) I saw Stevie Ray play a couple of times in Memphis in the early 80s when he was doing a lot of coke. Definitely didn't hurt his playing as far as I could tell. This was around the time I first learned Scuttlebuttin' from the record. Then I saw him play in Nashville (where I'd moved to pursue songwriting) about 3 months before he died in the copter crash. He had found God by then, and been in recovery for at least a couple years and I can definitely say that none of that hurt his playing either;) He was truly on fire that night. Long live Stevie Ray Vaughn indeed!!

Thanks man! My headphones are Audio Technica ATH-M50x. They're great studio phones and cost around $150. My DAW (digital audio workstation) is Apple's Logic Pro X, version 10.5.0. You can buy Logic Pro for $200 and it is possibly the best deal on any software in existence. I love and have used Pro Tools as well, but for the money, Logic Pro has it beat hands down. The guitar amp plug - in I'm using for Scuttle Buttin' is Overloud TH-U. I'm just using their 59 Bassman Tube Screamer preset w a couple of tweaks. My Strat in this video is a 2014 Jeff Beck Signature model, so basically an American Strat. Bought it used on Ebay in 2015 for $1200. The track I'm playing to here is a backing track I converted to mp3 from the Backing Track Guitar KZfaq Channel. So I didn't actually play any of the instruments on the track except for the lead guitar. Thanks for watching! Check out my latest video that is the follow-up to this one, where I breakdown the solo sections in Scuttle Buttin'!

@@ChuckJonesMusic Thanks for the information. I found the headphones on amazon and will order them shortly. I have a pc and Logic only works on mac. Thanks again, Chuck.

@@rossman265 No worries bro, you're welcome! I know, I hate it that Apple doesn't make Logic Pro for PC, but then again, it's kind of another loss leader for them to sell hardware, I'd imagine;) ProTools has several options, some of which are really affordable, but the more affordable, the less features. There are however, multiple awesome DAWs on the market now. I know one that a lot of pop producers use is Ableton, which is pretty cool, but a whole different mindset from your average DAW. If I were shopping at the moment, I'd just Google some "Top 5" or "Top 10" DAWs and go from there. Most of them operate pretty much the same. My one piece of advice, if you're just getting into home recording, is to just take it slow and learn new features as you need them. To begin, all you'll need to do is know how to press record and play;) Best of luck!

@@ChuckJonesMusic Thanks Chuck I really appreciate your input.

Yes, I have Pro tools and slowly learning how to use . What kind of speakers do you use?

Thanks for watching my friend! The reason I taught the lesson in standard tuning is merely so people wouldn’t have to retune their guitars to Eb to learn it, as most of us stay in standard tuning!!

You are too kind my friend. Thanks for watching!

Thanks brother! I'm breaking down the solo soon. Stay tuned!

E7#9 is the closest I could come to what Stevie was doing, but I’m open to suggestions! And thanks for the comment. I appreciate you watching!

Thanks man! Yes, I recorded it for this video in E standard on purpose, to save folks the trouble of retuning their guitar in order to learn the song! Thanks so much for watching!

Funny you should ask, Gabriel! I’ve been thinking the same thing. Planning on breaking down the solos on Scuttle Buttin’ for my next video. Stay tuned… Oh, and thanks for the comment!

@@ChuckJonesMusic you are a hot hot player, hey thanks for all the dedication and hard work and sharing it with us..love and respect...😃

@@gabrielhaven1394 Very kind of you to say. Mutual love and respect my friend!

pjc 73 Wow, that’s good info man, thanks! I know bending that lick definitely hurts my hands!! It’s interesting to know that Stevie Ray experimented with it!

Man, I'm really sorry you're having a bad day. I love ya anyway. And I'm open to hearing any suggestions that might improve my teaching techniques!

@@ChuckJonesMusic yeah say sorry for making me waste my time.

@@michotito4874I’m really sorry if you have a learning disability but I really don’t see how that’s my fault. If you take the instruction portion of the video slowly, you should be able to master the content in good time, assuming you have the requisite chops. For the lead sections of the song, see my video Scuttlebuttin’ Part 2 - The Solos!! Best of luck!

@@ChuckJonesMusic yeah lm sorry you have a teaching disability... maybe you need to take your pills gramps

@@michotito4874Regarding your initial comment, I suppose the least I can do is teach you how to spell the word “teach”… you left off the “a”in the middle. And where can I find your free videos?

Ha ha! I hear you man. I might’ve gotten a little off topic in this one;) I appreciate you watching tho!

Here you go Jess, and thanks so much for watching!: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ipyVrM1oys7cnoE.html
