http://www.steviesnacks.com - in this lesson I dissect the subject of accenting and talk about how it provides contast in your playing. I discuss how accenting is dynamics, but on a small scale, and give a few examples. This lesson features musical interludes from the Tony Vega Band - http://www.tonyvegaband.com

http://www.steviesnacks.com - Episode 5 of the StevieSnacks.com Video Podcast. Demonstrating how to play a fast lick from Tin Pan Alley.

A viewer asked me how to play this lick a while back so I thought I'd show how I think it's played.

One of the fastest, and most difficult licks in SRV's cover of this Jimi Hendrix Tune.

This video shows you how to do that looping picking and bending lick that Stevie would use in songs like Tightrope, Tell Me and occasionally in slow blues songs like Texas Flood.

Another video showing off my favorite amp right now. Since most of my viewers are SRV fans, I'm playing a SRV style ballad to show off some of the thicker overdriven tones that this amp can get, similar to Stevie's soloing during Life Without You.

Visit http://www.steviesnacks.com to get settings for all equipment used in recording this demo. The Fender Blues Junior Tweed NOS is a fantastic amp, capable of producing some fantastic tones. I thought I'd show off the amp to one of my favorite songs ever.

In this lesson I go over the 5 major blues boxes that I use for soloing in most blues music. This is not the same approach that most have been taught, it is my own approach that is designed to present a usable methodology to blues soloing. It's not designed to be compatible with anything else that's taught, because I didn't learn from anything except watching. Please keep this in mind when watching.

I've been teaching about what I call the 5 essential blues boxes. As promised, I now get into more detail about Box 1, which I consider the most important of them all.

In the free version of the lesson, I go over the structure of the box in detail, I also explain what some of the most important notes in this box can be used for, as well as some special "in-between" notes.

In the 20 minute version, which can be purchased in HD at the website, I also cover

*Transitioning from Box 1 (the Root Box ) to Box 2 (the Albert King box )
*The secret double life of Box 1. How you can play happy sounding riffs, right out of box 1 by using some "hidden" notes.
*Transitioning from Box 1, down to Box 5 (the Major Root box )

The full lesson is available in HD for $5.00 and has tons of more details in it.
