    If you want to increase your speed in Box 1, you will need to master this simple lick. It serves as the gateway to so many other fast licks in this shape.

    These are the first lessons I've come across that show the guitar from the players perspective. Brilliant idea, wish more were like this.

    Stevie Ray Vaughan invented every lick.

    I remember when I first learned this from you. I spent at least a week doing just this drill until it was second nature. It really is as you said, “the gateway” to most of his greatest licks.
    I first perfected it without the amp turned on. After getting it down and really getting that “bouncy” feel to it, I turned on the 64 Deluxe Reverb and it was so much easier and fluid.
    I know I’ve said it before, but you give more to the student than anyone in the business does!
    Good on you!
    John.

    I have heard that lick every since I was a child. I first heard it in the early seventies and wondered how they did it? It seemed like they were so amazing to be able to do it. Now I now the secret. Its still looks like a tuff skill to hone.

  • @Texasbluesalley
    @Texasbluesalley  13 років тому +2

    @sysphus13 I initially started doing it because I read that Stevie did, but there's a lot of practical reasons that I prefer it now. One reason is that the pick gets hung up in the strings more with the pointy end, both for regular picking and faster 'fan' picking (where I use the flat, back side of the pick).

    • @jadm110
      @jadm110 3 роки тому

      so you don't prefer the pointy picks for playing?

    • @Musicsports
      @Musicsports 3 роки тому

      Me either.

  • @jagapatto
    @jagapatto 11 років тому +3

    Most of his stuff is on Stevie Ray Vaughan's work. SRV tuned down one half step so it wouldn't make sense to use standard tuning and try to play with a backing track or CD of SRV. It is a huge pain to switch back and forth between tunings if you're using a strat. If I go on a SRV binge, I usually tune one of my guitars down and just leave it that way. If I want to use a regular-tuned guitar, I'll use a different one.

    That is an "aha" moment! I used to try to pick every note. Never thought you need to "cheat" being fast with hammer on and pull offs.

  • @ricklarmer461
    @ricklarmer461 3 роки тому

    Thank you for these box lessons. They have helped my phrasing big time!
    I have always been bogged down with full on scales. The Albert King box is money. I have been targeting the ending notes you’ve recommended.
    I sound much better. I have been using basic 1 4 5 type progressions.
    My question is, what should I target when there are 4 or more chords? Should I target those as well? Sometimes it’s hard to remember the chords/root notes as these jam tracks I practice with expand. I hope I’ve detailed my question clearly enough.
    Thanks for all you do.

    @brianabadia1983 not nessarily, i usually use dunlop jazz 3s which are small picks so when someone hands me a regular pick now i usually use the side of it beacause i find it easier to pick faster and use my other fingers, but its all prefrence

  • @Pollutens
    @Pollutens 13 років тому +1

    @kortt That's cuase blues comes from the inside, you cant just learn it from a tab book and jam along, you have to feel it, you have to know what note comes next and what u have to express, blues is like speaking english, you know what word or lick comes next cause u know what ur going to say. That is the main difference between blues and any other style :) peace bros

  • @Pollutens
    @Pollutens 13 років тому +1

    This is a great exercise but speed is also in the head, not only in the hands, you have to think music fast and as a guitarrist i think the problem is not in the hands, because the hands will make you play what you have in your head and that isn't as trainable but still, this as you say unlocks a lot of licks :)

  • @kortt
    @kortt 13 років тому

    @Pollutens Don't know about that, you may be right. But, I know guitarist who can play wicked fast as long as it's something they've learned from a tab book. They can't improvise because they haven't trained themselves to think musically. My son in law can play Metallica all day long, but ask him to jam to freeform blues and he's lost.

    When I bend my middle and ring fingers hit the D string and makes a sound, is there anyway I can mute it? Seems to be my only issue

  • @bigmo1490
    @bigmo1490 4 роки тому

    I have been playing alot of srv the past couple months and when this I play style lick I alternate between using my ring and middle finger to do the bend on the g string. Do you think that I should try only using my middle like you do or should I do what's comfortable? Also when doing the hammer on the b string sometimes I hit the e string in the process, do you have any tips for eliminating that problem or it it just a practice makes perfect thing?

  • @thebigcountry6757
    @thebigcountry6757 4 роки тому

    Excellent trick in the bag ! Is it the angle or is your action set pretty high ? I can't get the hammer on to sound anywhere near the same volume as the other notes. If at all. I think my action is too low. Thoughts ?

  • @tritonobionico
    @tritonobionico 13 років тому

    @Pollutens yeah, but you cant play what you hear or think in your head if you dont have the necessary strength in your fingers. You need to learn to hear and think musically with your head but you need to train your fingers in order to follow your musical ideas.

  • @temphemp9251
    @temphemp9251 5 років тому +3

    How do I prevent my ring finger from going under the d string while pulling off the g string bend?

    • @Texasbluesalley
      @Texasbluesalley  5 років тому +1

      The action on your D string might be a little too high if that's happening. Bring it down a little bit at a time until it catches on your fingertip while bending.

  • @ldphifty
    @ldphifty 11 років тому

    it looks like you turned your pick around and used the softer point. its essential for dirty pool strumming but does it also help with single notes?

    • @Neo_1985

      You can also strum Dirty Pool style with the pointy end ^^ Just takes a while :)

  • @Milankoful
    @Milankoful 11 років тому

    That's cool, but on that 4. note, wouldn't it be easier to upstroke it? Like a 3 down's and then on the B string one up... It's easier for me that way. 'cos if I don't do it that way, when i'm coming back to repeat the lick, my pick always hit's that B string and it sounds like a mess. Anyway, that's just me. Great lessons by the way. :)
