i use audacity. you can highlight a single section. slow it down by changing the tempo and make it loop in the background. put it on repeat and it will go forever but you can play along with it slow until you get it right then when you’ve developed the muscle memory it will get faster.

Anthony, Thanks for this video. I’ll practice the hard stuff till I get it right…

@Strat0Blues Well, I disagree with almost everything he told you for what it’s worth. Hendrix, SRV, Clapton, none of them played from sheet music. And it is well documented that SRV did not know extensive music theory. Seems a difficult pill for people who love theory to swallow, which is a shame, because it takes nothing away from what they do or love, regardless of how they perceive it.

my guitar teacher says your rhythm playing and lead playing is only as good as your sight reading. He also says that allot of the greats did have musical knowledge but allot of people just want to believe that they just did what they did naturally. I believe there is both aspects of each but I have not been around long enough to know. I think SRV must of had lessons, I have seen photos of him and his brother playing and it looks like they are getting lesson but who knows.

Now this is a good useful clip for everyone regardless of skill level. Bravo!

what gauge strings do you use?

thanks Anthony, it’s always nice to learn a new lick but it’s way better when the teacher takes the time to show you how to do it right.

i like the “behind the lick” aspect of this lesson. keep ‘em coming

This is a really great guitar lesson, thanks =]

great advice. When I get stumped on something I try it over and over until I either forget it entirely or I get it…. what size strings do you use?

@bcjoly what are your other top 3 teachers?

@bcjoly My reply was actually very sincere, not sarcastic. I know that for some people, this style does get old, and I don’t want them to get tired of it, so I encourage people to watch other teachers so this stuff stays fresh. I think other people were interpreting your comment as an insult. I didn’t take it as such.

@bcjoly I think youre lack of feelings dude thats why you tired on your lick

@colombiano822 thought the channel was called gr8bluesgtr. I can’t say anything bad about Anthony he’s one of my top 4 teachers on here. for what he does I’m grateful. I asked a simple yes or no question. I personal (sometimes) get sick of playing the same licks. and you know what? I suck. but I try and I practice everyday.
I think you should check your attitude and be more loving and understanding. me and you are probably very much alike. sincerely rock on colombiano822. God bless.

@dredreye SVR is one of the all greats. I don’t get tired of listening to his music..it’s timeless. as a musician I need to develop my own flavor my own style. in a nut shell we can learn from Stevie. I try and put my own twist on what he plays so it sound unique. I’m just learning. and I allot of my success to Anthony Stauffer. ty Anthony. I have purchase stuff (5 boxes/5 essentials) from the website and would recommend it . God bless.

Always such a pleasure to hear you explain your passion and playing the Blues! Cheers from France, Anthony!

great stuff and great contribution to aspiring guitar players! Thank you!

great vid, i cant even imagen how awesome it would be to have this guy as my guitar teacher

Thank you for sharing.

What is that set up……sounds unreal

Another great lesson Anthony.

very useful advice! I see that you pick the strings with the plectrum upside down, as SRV did. Do you know why he played that way?

@bcjoly dude the youtube channel is called stevie snacks what did you expect to hear? thats like calling up ESPN and asking them if they get tired of broadcasting sports…

@bcjoly getting tired of listening to stevie ray vaughan? blasphemy

awesome video as always

@gr8bluesgtr haha how is it possible to get tired of hearing them….Great lessons. Keep it up!!
