In this lesson, I break down the iconic Texas blues style with some Stevie Ray Vaughan-inspired licks straight from “Pride and Joy.” We’ll dive into the groove, focusing on how to play 12-bar blues patterns with tasty bends, slides, and strumming techniques. I’ll also show you the classic turnaround lick and share tips on getting the right swing feel. Make sure to tune down to E-flat like SRV to really nail the vibe! Plus, grab the free Boss Katana patch I used, linked below, and check out my new Texas Blues course for more deep dives into this style.
