Testify - attempt at covering Stevie Ray Vaughan unplugged

My attempt at covering Testify the way SRV played it on MTV unplugged in 1990...after I uploaded the video, the sound and picture became slightly out of sync...not sure why.

Hey! I believe I was tuned down two or three steps. I usually tune this twelve string to D or C# as I I've heard using 0.012 gauge strings on a 12-string tuned to E could warp the neck (not sure if it would, but not sure I want to find out :-)

which chord do you use @ 0 : 10 min ..10- 15 seconds...

can you plz tell..

@backdoorman29

If I'm looking at the right chord, I play at the 7th fret on the low E string almost continuously while playing at the 9th fret on the D string, then at the 7th fret on the same string, then back to 9th string. Then I slide from 6th on the D-string and 7th on the G string to 7th and 8th on the same respective strings. Remember, the low E string is played the whole time (you might hear it as the base note in the video). I'm not sure this make sense......

Simply Amazing!!

I think you can drop the "attempt" :)

Man I can't believe you bought the 512, that's just big pimpin :D.. Nice to see there are other appreciators of SRV out there..

[madcowrappa]

[BluesMannus]

This is my favorite SRV song! I just uploaded a phenomenal cover of the great el Mocambo version. Check it out!!!

[MrGuitarboy97]

Ha, Must be a pain to tune that... just sayin'.

[gobadgers257]

[cesarclo]

Awesome !

This is very nice! Where is the tab for this song? It seems it's nowhere online. Can you pleeeeez send me the tab?

[9ihsanp9]

First of all very nicely done.

Second of all i see u like to wrap ur thumb around while playing as did stevie. i do too and have relatively big hands but cant seem to do so on my own 12 string ( which is quite cheap). so ultimately im wondering what the necks are like on ur guild??

[takeitsleazie]

wow kudos man. how long did it take u to learn that song?

[hiddenpunk291]

aside from writing something about how good your playing is i would just like to point out that you have a very sexy guild 12 string my man, keep her safe
