Just joined a wedding band and need to learn this one. Searched last week and said "oh, man, no Justin lesson on Pride and Joy?" But then, just like that, Justin delivers! Thanks for doing what you do!!!!
I just came across this channel and would have to agree. To me, subtle nuances and inflections are what separates the great players from the good ones.
Especially how he explains it, most of the UA-cam teachers it's hard to listen to them, because they talk so much around it, Justin keeps it simple, that's awesome
I know that I’m WAAAAAAYYYYY late to this party, but MY GOODNESS I really like and appreciate your instruction. Clear. Concise. Accurate. Easy to follow. Encouraging. Specific on Technique. Thanks, Justin - I appreciate you!!!
@@Cream_CurdlR Yeah once you get it down it is really easy. But getting to the point where it feels easy can be very difficult. (Its been 2 years though I'm sure you got it down by now)
I have seen many tutorials on Pride and Joy and you are the only one that shows the circular strumming the way SVR did it. Love your tutorials and how you do everything to show the way it is really done. You rock Justin!!
The very best lesson on this iconic SRV classic. I will no doubt be playing this song wrong the rest of my life, but this takes some of the mystery out of Stevie's masterful rhythm technique. Thanks, Justin! BTW, I'm always impressed how you are able to count the beats while simultaneously playing a challenging rhythm or lick. Cheers!
About 10 yrs ago I decided to get serious about lead guitar (was an acoustic strummer) and thought I'd start with this "little" shuffle (since I played them all the time on acoustic). So this lesson on the first few bars takes a 25 min vid (based on how many hrs of work)... and now you know why the first song I picked took 6 mths to learn... lol! But, while it was an eye opener for sure, I don't regret any of it... so much to learn, and to understand how the great players make the difficult look sooo easy. Great work explaining the technique's... I use a touch less muting, but you've got the original recording sound spot on... nice!
Wow. I wish I would of seen your lesson for this song a long time ago… You play this rhythm *FAR* better than any one else Ive seen. My version sounds as average as the other instructors I was listening to, but yours really stands out! Honestly. Ive got some work to do, but you inspired me to polish my technique. (the struggle continues…ha)
This is gold, I don't know how long you spent making this video but great job! Now because of you i finally have the concept of the strum/mute to start working on it and I thank you so much for that Justin!
WOW. Just to attempt to teach this style is formidable. Very well done Justin, one of your best. My bank holiday has now become rather more difficult and very interesting!! Best wishes Tim
Im so used to playing metal that i keep reverting to palm mute. Its frustrating cause i always learn the exact way a song is played to learn new techniques
Hell, I gave you a thumbs up just for the enthusiasm... The intro sounded pretty good expecially compared to other lessons I've watched. Thanks Keep it coming.
Justin you're awesome. I can understand what you explain far more easily than what other guys do in Spanish, and that's much to say cause my English is awful.
Once you learn Texas raking style, it’s very natural and you probably will use it a lot. It’s one of those things you can’t learn from reading tabs. The funny thing with my experience was, until I learned how to do this I had trouble playing clean, one note at a time. There are a few Blues techniques where you let notes ring out. That gave me a lot more control over how I wanted what I was playing to sound. --- It’s an A chord. It’s E5 to A. --- Breaking it down to triplets at the last part is extremely helpful.
That hitting the 4th fret low E as an upstroke in this piece Justin is the key. I always thought he was just hammering it on and the top strings were muted as usual. Problem is that means the low note is not sounding out as good when you only hammer and gets drowned out with the high notes.
SRV was so hot ...I've been working on some of his stuff for the blues band I play with now, you really need to keep the right technique and slowly and speed up ad you get it right, great as per Justin respect fella
Nice. I check out a lot of these and it is seldom done correctly. You did it right on the high string chording/muting! Very well done and impeccable attention to detail!
Hi Justin, Seen a lot of your stuff over the years and I never doubted your talent, but I confess when I saw that you had a pride and joy video i was dubious, but you nailed it! Thanks
Very help full been struggling with this and even if I don't get it. Perfectly. I get that sound. ,I can't read music so this is a big help,,, Thanks,,,
Play the first 35 seconds of this at 1.5x speed and watch him chug away. You're welcome. Love this btw. I'm a guitar noob but this gives me a chance of learning this ridiculously catchy riff by SRV. Thanks!
By far the best tutorial on this title. Thanks a lot. Still happy to learn that you also encountered difficulties for this riff, cause, given your excellent level, that reassures me... one more thanks 😀A french musician
Thanks for this circle right hand tech...I didn't really realize why I could not play it nicely. I can go back to practice. Utube is really a révolution for musicians. :)
Justin, thank you for the very detailed breakdown. I was hacking this song with our band playing it live. SRV had a very different playing style, I appreciate your hard work.
People always talk about SRV using heavy strings for "tone" etc but other day I realised what might be a great reason which is this muted raking technique and I've never heard that discussed? I'd been playing around with this on and off on a tele that has standard 10s on and a fairly average action, and pretty much getting there. Then randomly I picked up a guitar that is more a "shredding" guitar with 9s and a very low action and started playing pride and joy and struggled .. trying to do left muting without accidentally properly fretting was noticably harder, as just touching the strings lightly can make them want to ring out. If you've played a guitar with light strings and a really low action you'll know what I mean. As you go up to heavier strings + higher action doing this SRV left hand muting style stuff will obviously get much easier (though other stuff of course harder!) and cranked to high volumes, it's definitely a huge plus in the "fat strings" column. .. I may get my bass out later to prove this theory to the max! :)
I'm glad your back, can you tell us what pedals you used for this particular lesson thanks. Btw congrats on being a daddy enjoy it cause kids grow up pretty fast
Great stuff, Justin!! Would love if you did the the rythm part of "Gone Home", during the organ solo. He sure does have some tasty chords going on there, and I struggle to nail them quite right.
Hey Justin!! Great lesson man, I've been having fun with the classes!! Woulld be really awesome to see your version of the Hurdy Gurdy Man by Donovan....Thankzz dude!
Just joined a wedding band and need to learn this one. Searched last week and said "oh, man, no Justin lesson on Pride and Joy?" But then, just like that, Justin delivers! Thanks for doing what you do!!!!
Congratulations. You're going to make some dough brother!
Its the little nuances that you pay attention to and teach that make you the best, Justin.
thx!

JustinGuitar Songs can you do stevies little wing!!!
@@JustinGuitarSongs bro u make the texas shuffle look easy

Absolutely the best guitar teacher on the planet. No doubt.
yes
I agree 👍
Excellent easy to understand lesson… no wasted time talking and lots of playing examples. I love the way you broke this down into manageable sections!
The subtle nuances and patience to clearly show and explain this is really incredible!
Cheers 😊

oh no , your lesson is here can't make any more excuses to not learn it now :/
:) do it!
this is very hard to do. it seems like once you get it then it is like riding a bike. yes? i have not got it yet
@@Cream_CurdlR Yeah once you get it down it is really easy. But getting to the point where it feels easy can be very difficult. (Its been 2 years though I'm sure you got it down by now)
Circular strumming? I never would have thought of that. Excellent lesson, thanks.
Nobody does circular strumming except Stevie and Justin.
I have seen many tutorials on Pride and Joy and you are the only one that shows the circular strumming the way SVR did it. Love your tutorials and how you do everything to show the way it is really done. You rock Justin!!
Most tricky shuffle ever. And brilliant as well

You'll get it right. Keep on practicing!

British Norm MacDonald is awesome. Thanks for the lesson.
Wow. I wish I would of seen your lesson for this song a long time ago… You play this rhythm *FAR* better than any one else Ive seen. My version sounds as average as the other instructors I was listening to, but yours really stands out! Honestly.

Hi Justin, My personal opinion is You do sound just like SRV even more clean sound . I like it . Thank you sir.
" Not to difficult to play it badly" 😀
Too*
Its actually not lol.
@@ophiolatreia93 Its kinda for beginers..
I play everything badly, is that a good reason to not enjoy doing so?
@@4stevio no, just keep practicing man, Don't surrender early!
This is gold, I don't know how long you spent making this video but great job! Now because of you i finally have the concept of the strum/mute to start working on it and I thank you so much for that Justin!
You are a monster at teaching. Damn. Born for this.
WOW. Just to attempt to teach this style is formidable. Very well done Justin,
one of your best. My bank holiday has now become rather more difficult and very interesting!! Best wishes Tim
your the only person that I've seen play it as close to SRV as possible... AWESOME!!!
Ah there's a few bits I would still work on if I had time... but thanks!
Im so used to playing metal that i keep reverting to palm mute. Its frustrating cause i always learn the exact way a song is played to learn new techniques
best tutorial on the tube for this Amazing song, u r one of the few if not the only one to get it right. keep up the great work man :)
Cheers!
Man you really got the SRV vibe going, great video
Excellent detail. Most in depth teaching of this I have ever watched. Thank you Justin.
That little Stevie Circle at the beginning though 😂👏👏
Hell, I gave you a thumbs up just for the enthusiasm... The intro sounded pretty good expecially compared to other lessons I've watched. Thanks Keep it coming.
Justin you're awesome. I can understand what you explain far more easily than what other guys do in Spanish, and that's much to say cause my English is awful.
I could never get that muting technique before. But if you can't teach me, no one can!
Thanks for all the work you put into this lessons :)
GREAT performance and lesson, Justin!!!!!
Cheers!

please do a lesson on Mother's Finest Mickey's Monkey or Hard Rock Lover?
This chap is a wonderful teacher......if you want tuition books look no further......I wish I had discovered him sooner..top man

Breaking it down to triplets at the last part is extremely helpful.
watching you play the whole thing in the beginning at 0.5x speed helps a lot after watching the lesson
That hitting the 4th fret low E as an upstroke in this piece Justin is the key. I always thought he was just hammering it on and the top strings were muted as usual. Problem is that means the low note is not sounding out as good when you only hammer and gets drowned out with the high notes.
Getting this figured out is my goal for the summer....off to a bad start ;-)
One of the coolest lessons I've seen on UA-cam in many years that can give you that instant feeling of playing blues.. Cheers and thankyou 👍👍
The best teacher
With lots of soul
relax and loosen up 😊
Dude. I can see why you have 1M subscribers. Your how-tos are the best --by far. Thank you!! Subscribed.
Wow, thanks for showing us how to play this difficult song. Your tips are always pretty amazing and right on. Thanks again.
Justin! Man, you were channeling SRV! You looked possessed dude! Great lesson!!
Oh God, too awesome, must learn to play! Thank you for the awesome tutorial, man.
SRV was so hot ...I've been working on some of his stuff for the blues band I play with now, you really need to keep the right technique and slowly and speed up ad you get it right, great as per Justin respect fella
Justin is the best!
Good ol Justin I remember years ago when I first started playing guitar I learnt chords from your channel
Nice. I check out a lot of these and it is seldom done correctly. You did it right on the high string chording/muting!
Very well done and impeccable attention to detail!
Great lesson of an epic riff

I don't know, if Justin found this hard how are we mere mortals going to cope? 🤔
I think you're right about the circle picking, different sound and I think it makes the rhythm attack different, more pushy I think.
Excellent lesson. Thanks Justin. I just put some money on your books.
Great video Justin! I had learned this song by ear and missed some of these tricks that you showed in the video. Keep up the great work!
Thanks for this circle right hand tech...I didn't really realize why I could not play it nicely. I can go back to practice. Utube is really a révolution for musicians. :)
Great lesson,you is the best! thanks.

Great stuff, Justin!! Would love if you did the the rythm part of "Gone Home", during the organ solo. He sure does have some tasty chords going on there, and I struggle to nail them quite right.
Maybe... like to do Cold Shot, Lenny and Scuttle first!
Hey Justin!! Great lesson man, I've been having fun with the classes!! Woulld be really awesome to see your version of the Hurdy Gurdy Man by Donovan....Thankzz dude!
