  • In this lesson I'll breakdown the fundamental techniques needed to play the Texas Shuffle style of rhythm guitar heard in "Pride And Joy" by SRV. The notes of the rhythm are easy to figure out, but what's more challenging is keeping those strings under control as you rake up and down across all 6 strings.

    Thanx Anthony, lightbulb moment for me. Just as you have mentioned rhythm spacing I found that mentally I was practicing it in reverse. The pattern need to start with upstroke all strings ringing and than downstroke just that fretted note rings. I was in my head always starting with that one note and all the sound started to fall apart to awful mess. Immediately after seeing your lesson I grabbed my guitar and the result was instantly so much better and easier for brain to understand! I am only starting to learn this style and I love it!!!

  • @kurtsteincamp8085
    @kurtsteincamp8085 5 років тому +2

    I’ve been working on this technique for a while and I still get an extra string ringing out. Does a high action make this technique easier to mute the other strings? I’ve heard that SRV had a fairly high action.

    • @Texasbluesalley
      @Texasbluesalley  5 років тому +1

      I think it could. If you think about resting your finger on the string to mute it, the higher it is, the easier it is to rest your finger on it without pressing it down far enough to let it ring out.

    • @drinkingmicstand
      @drinkingmicstand 2 роки тому

      Higher action means less time for your muting hand to reach the strings to mute them. Also higher action helps with how hard you have to rest the strings which is,compared to low action, really not much different. However with a low action, you may put too much pressure and get sound.

    Texas blues Alley, how do you get that SRV texas twangy Chugging sound when strumming shuffles. My strat guitar when chugging strumming shuffles doesn't make that Texas twangy tone that SRV got on Pride and Joy Live EL MoCambo. SRV got texas twangy tones when chugging his shuffles how can this be done?

    • @ianspeckmaier9565

      Heavy strings, the rest is in the hands. But heavy strings definitely will help.

    • @idontwanttousemynameyoutub7538
      @idontwanttousemynameyoutub7538 3 роки тому

      New strings? Heavy ones do help because they don't buzz when you play them hard. Some pickups don't get that sound either - a friend of mine played some Texas Specials to me in his Stratocaster and I'm damned if I could get that sound. Plug in my stock Tele and there it was. Good clean Valve amp helps as well. Have your action not too low - you want at least 2mm at the twelfth fret on the bass and 1.5mm on the treble - it should ring beautifully acoustically with no buzz and lots of twang. Hope that helps.

      That’s a really great question. I guess you’d have to look through the catalogs of his influences and see if there’s a particular song where something resembling this was used.

    • @carterc9171

      As for the guitar technique itself, I’m not so sure. But Texas Shuffle was a subgenre of country music in the 50s that utilized this rhythm and a walking line on guitar

      @@CognitiveMindQuest I never said he is teaching a song, YOU are the one who mentioned the song. As for the technique, of course any fool who knows anything about playing the guitar would know that from the title of this post. My point was, you wouldn't know what exactly he's going to teach you unless he plays it FIRST before going into the technic. I may not like his 'Texas Rhythm Shuffle' technique, since there are so many variations to the shuffle.
