where can you get that recording? i see a few vids on youtube but I cant find the one with that lick

[gr8bluesgtr]

Check around for a bootleg called "Accolades".

[mtwilson87]

is this to be played over the I chord of the key you're in?

[gr8bluesgtr]

It's played as the chord progression transitions back to the I chord at Bar 8. The chords that lead into it are played over Bar 7 on the IV chord.

@gr8bluesgtr First thing: your videos are fantastic. Seriously.

Second thing: is this what you really mean to say? Or did you mean the 6th & 7th or 10th & 11th? Maybe I'm missing it.

@worldofoscillation what part of the video?

[paulefty]

Haha the title says "...Slow Blues Lick".

Slow. Hahaha!

[antmann01]

Yeah, Stevie was aweasome. I hate it when little kids claim Zakk Wlydes the best. All Zakk can do is shred, lol.

I saw this title and thought, awesome! i'm gunna be able to play this! ..... i was wrong. D:

[muzzalhay]

@paulefty ; doesnt have anything to do with the speed of the lick, moron. it's a SLOW BLUES, lick.

[KawiPunisher]

This is a dying art my friend. I am trying to learn myself. This is the TRUEST form of guitar. SRV was the man and you're pretty damn good yourself.

[superagnitio]

That lick is RIDICULOUS and your take is great ;)

[321harold]

@antmann01 All I did was shred when I was a kid starting out. Its amazing to me just how much more difficult it is to be melodic.

[garthhammons]

@Dogslow I have a recording of the song but I dont have the backing track

[Dogslow]

@garthhammons I have this backing track.have you managed to get it

@gr8bluesgtr

I know for a fact that some SRV-crazed fan is putting out a killer "best of" CD this summer that's supposed to put all the "greatest hits" albums to shame. The be all, end all of SRV bootlegs. Best live performances, rare jams & soundchecks, interviews, etc. I know the guy. He's releasing it under an alias because the record companies would never allow it. Want me to keep you posted?

[JohnnyHorton]
