Details

Part of emulating Stevie Ray Vaughan’s guitar style is learning how to put a lot of feeling into your playing. This came through in a special way when he played Life Without You. This lesson teaches you one full chorus of the solo from the original ballad entitled Just Another Love Song, that was used in the Blues Junior Amp Demo I did a few weeks ago.

This solo sequence uses some of the same licks and techniques that I learned right from Stevie’s live performances of Life Without You. In addition to showing you each and every note to play, I also show you the picking technique used in each part. Lastly, the lesson features “soulful playing tips” that bring out some of the less obvious parts of the solo that really bring a soulful sound to this playing style.

The free video is the first 10 minutes, but the full video is over 30 minutes.
