Anthony, just subscribed to your site. I'm only into my 3 yrs of solid playing, come around quickly but still so much to learn. I usually play to CD's and play with others who are good players as I learn fast that way. However, I found this and other videos you do very informative, easy to follow (for slow burners like myself) and the video work allows me to easily see what you are doing. Thank you very much for taking the time to do these.
Are you sure SRV didn't play the minor 3rd instead of the major 3rd in this riff? According to my ear I am pretty sure he's playing minor here. That's 7th fret on the E-string to the 5th fret on the A-string. Maybe I'm wrong.
@matsan28 Yeah, over the I chord he would play that note, although with the slightest of bends, 3 frets higher on the low E string. However, I much prefer the sound of the major third in it's place :-). Good ear by the way...I've been playing it this way for so long I forgot that it's not exactly what's on the record.
@matsan28 "ta ta ta ta tatata ta ta"..... the third part of the second part of the rythem is a triplet im sure of it.... this is killing floor..... theres a triplet in the rythem for suree
one of the best srv songs of all time i defy anyone not to shake to this

@santacruezz I cut my thumb-tip nearly to the bone by being an idiot with a razor blade. The bandaid is to hide the hideous stitches.
