that guitar looks great. What pickups you got? Duncans?

[fargenacle]

@spakuloid Yes, their duncan vintage stacked. The guitar is a japanese vintage reissue.

What is the tuning on this song?

[fargenacle]

@laxfreak317 The tuning is standard just tuned down a half step to E flat.

Congratulations to all of you for appreciating such a great song they never play on the radio! It is so relaxing.....Well, time to log off and go listen to it another thirty times in a row (from SRV@DT's "In Step" CD). What a great way to close out a CD!!!

"Whatever gets the job done." Great expression. I'll have to remember that for arguments about technique. "The tune comes first, guys!" Great, thanks!

@gaspo2180 I play drums, and other instruments, but guitar is my real passion... In my opinon, SRV is one of the greatest ever; if not truly one of the best. In difficulty? This song is pretty hard to play, getting all the slides and hammer ons and pullofs down, while keeping the solid rhythm and everything... But, that being said, his music is not the hardest to play. Simply some of the most beautiful ;) If guitarists who like blues want some tough things to play, Jimi Hendrix is on the list.:P
