How to play Pride And Joy on guitar | Stevie Ray Vaughan

You're the only guitar teacher who you can make a real progress with in the first try! You're the legend of this generation Justin

Just joined a wedding band and need to learn this one. Searched last week and said "oh, man, no Justin lesson on Pride and Joy?" But then, just like that, Justin delivers! Thanks for doing what you do!!!!

I know that I’m WAAAAAAYYYYY late to this party, but MY GOODNESS I really like and appreciate your instruction. Clear. Concise. Accurate. Easy to follow. Encouraging. Specific on Technique. Thanks, Justin - I appreciate you!!!

Its the little nuances that you pay attention to and teach that make you the best, Justin.

really well done - too many players don't cop the count of the intro correctly - you nail it. also totally right about the circle picking/strumming ... it's the little 'rake' of the muted strings that creates the essential pulsing rhythmic component of the part ... you even nailed the little G# grace note on the walking bass line between the G and the B - almost inaudilbe at tempo but really creates the difference between 'ok' and 'really good' ... super lesson - thanks for sharing it

Absolutely the best guitar teacher on the planet. No doubt.

"not to difficult to play it badly".....I love that!!!

Excellent easy to understand lesson… no wasted time talking and lots of playing examples. I love the way you broke this down into manageable sections!

About 10 yrs ago I decided to get serious about lead guitar (was an acoustic strummer) and thought I'd start with this "little" shuffle (since I played them all the time on acoustic).
So this lesson on the first few bars takes a 25 min vid (based on how many hrs of work)... and now you know why the first song I picked took 6 mths to learn... lol!
But, while it was an eye opener for sure, I don't regret any of it... so much to learn, and to understand how the great players make the difficult look sooo easy.
Great work explaining the technique's... I use a touch less muting, but you've got the original recording sound spot on... nice!

Aprendí a tocar esta canción gracias a ti.
La semana pasada, el colegio de mi hija que es católico, nos pidieron a los padres que participaremos en el aniversario mostrando un "talento" y me anime a subir con una guitarra acústica y tocar "Pride And Joy" que aprendí gracias a ti. Además de 2 padres que conocían al la canción, los otros padres y niños no la conocían.
Yo y mi "mal Ingles" los hicimos vibrar.
Ahora ellos piensan que soy un maestro de la guitarra blusera jajajaj
Desde Chile un agradecido. quería que lo supieras

The subtle nuances and patience to clearly show and explain this is really incredible!

Once you learn Texas raking style, it’s very natural and you probably will use it a lot. It’s one of those things you can’t learn from reading tabs.

The funny thing with my experience was, until I learned how to do this I had trouble playing clean, one note at a time. There are a few Blues techniques where you let notes ring out. That gave me a lot more control over how I wanted what I was playing to sound.

It’s an A chord. It’s E5 to A.

Breaking it down to triplets at the last part is extremely helpful.

Thanks a lot from France . "life without you" "scuttle buttin' " or "cold shot" next time ?.... You are great teacher .

I have seen many tutorials on Pride and Joy and you are the only one that shows the circular strumming the way SVR did it. Love your tutorials and how you do everything to show the way it is really done. You rock Justin!!

Thanks a lot Coach Justin. You a very good teacher. More power to you!!!

why have 39 people disliked this video?????? C'mon! Justin is an incredible teacher.

Play the first 35 seconds of this at 1.5x speed and watch him chug away.
You're welcome.

Love this btw. I'm a guitar noob but this gives me a chance of learning this ridiculously catchy riff by SRV. Thanks!

People always talk about SRV using heavy strings for "tone" etc but other day I realised what might be a great reason which is this muted raking technique and I've never heard that discussed?
I'd been playing around with this on and off on a tele that has standard 10s on and a fairly average action, and pretty much getting there. Then randomly I picked up a guitar that is more a "shredding" guitar with 9s and a very low action and started playing pride and joy and struggled .. trying to do left muting without accidentally properly fretting was noticably harder, as just touching the strings lightly can make them want to ring out. If you've played a guitar with light strings and a really low action you'll know what I mean.
As you go up to heavier strings + higher action doing this SRV left hand muting style stuff will obviously get much easier (though other stuff of course harder!) and cranked to high volumes, it's definitely a huge plus in the "fat strings" column. .. I may get my bass out later to prove this theory to the max! :)

I've seen a lot of how to's, but this is the easiest to understand!

Awesome Love It!!!!🎸❤️🎸
