Lesson 36 - Beginner Shuffle Blues Solo 1April 20th, 2008 |
Details
This lesson is the “Beginner” version of a 3 part lesson that also comes in Intermediate, and Advanced difficulty levels.
This is a very typical, SRV influenced shuffle blues solo, in the style of Pride And Joy. For the full lesson, you will receive a HD video download of the full 20 minute lesson as well as tablature for the entire solo in GuitarPro and PDF format. The free lesson covers what notes to play, the extended version has more detailed instruction on each part and how to play it correctly.
The things you will learn in this lesson include soloing in the open position, playing across Box 1, Box 2, and into Box 3, playing a lick at Box 1 in the upper octave position, and a very common chord used in many blues sons. The intermediate lesson and advanced lesson will follow this same solo, increasing in difficulty. Using this series of lessons you can ease your way into the Pride And Joy style of soloing in 3 levels of difficulty.

Great lesson!
Out of curiosity, why did you choose the Tweed Blues Jr over the standard black Blues Jr…are they different in sound?

Anthony Stauffer ( StevieSnacks Teacher ) reply on July 26th, 2008:
At the time I thought the tweed had better tubes and speaker, turns out it’s just the speaker which makes the difference even more incredible. Kind of subtle, but the speaker in the tweed gives it a much fuller sound to my ear. The tolex version sounds tinny and way too harsh on the high end for my ears.
