I know this video has been up for a while, but I think you'll find that monochromatic lick/trick a lot in Gatemouth Brown's stuff. I'm not sure what incarnation of him it was, he had a few different and distinct eras but he definitely messed around w/a lot of the chromatic stuff that Stevie utilizes a lot.

Thank you for your concise techniques playing the blues. I've been playing metal for years. Now I have fun expressing my string bends in the blues. Thank you for what you do.

Duh. Why even draw attention to it.

Nearly forty years ago at a very low point in my life, flat broke and with my wife in hospital and my children living with their Grandparents, I was driving home very late and very depressed when on the car radio I first heard Stevie - playing Testify. It was so riveting I had to pull over and it was so strong that it gave me the lift I needed. My situation gradually improved and a few months later I got to see Stevie live.

Thanks for sharing! His music was and is transformative!!!

Respect Teacher. Jimi played this Lick in various solos, as red house and stuff. Thank you for redoing it…

Saw SRV in 87 at Nassau Coliseum. He played a Olympic white strat( Scotch ) almost the whole show. Sounded amazing, soo glad I got to see him live!!

I've been enjoying your lessons for well over a decade now. Cheers and thank you!

Your deconstruction of SRV’s style is a magnificent piece of analysis and teaching. Congratulations.

I got to see Stevie several times from 85 to 91. In fact I had a ticket for his last show at Alpine Valley but wasn’t able to go. Which I hate till today cause it was his very last performance. In 89 I got to meet him back stage at what was called Deer Creek amphitheater in Noblesville Indiana. I had a friend who used to set up the stage equipment who got me backstage passes where I got to meet him a few moments that I’ll never forget. He was a real inspiration for my playing along with the greats like BBKing Albert King Lonnie Mack Albert Collin’s Muddy Waters and so on. Keep up your hard work brother.

from your legendary playing to your legendary pov for making learning easier. you have influenced so many people like the great legends alive. TXBA is awesome!

I purchased one of your DVD lesson videos. Anyone reading my comments...the videos are very well made, and easy to pick up these amazing licks. Cheers from Ohio.

You are a good man, Tim. Been with you since 2009

I am so grateful that I found Stevie Snacks. You and Griff Hamlin are the best internet teachers. And the pro player is awesome. Thanks, Anthony and congrats!

Thanks Ken. Griff is so great. I've had the chance to hang out and go to dinner with him at NAMM in years past and it's obvious why he's been so successful.

THIS IS GOLD!!!

Happy 15th Anniversary Mr. Anthony, Appreciate you, Long Live SRV...and long Live Texas Blues Alley....peace Brother ....

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY! I was living in Austin in 1982-85. It was awesome to be there when Steve was busting out. Every Tuesday he had a free concert at Town lake. With more blues greats than I can list. Thank you for all the excellent teaching and material!

Austin was definitely magical then.

I think that lick is an evolution of some licks T-Bone Walker played. Of course Jimi used it, but not as much as SRV.

Dan Palmer comment here. Check his comment. He's saying rhythmically like Johnny Winter but he doesn't remember J.W. ever doing it. It DOES sound like something J.W. would have done. That Dan guy may have nailed it.

@@Texasbluesalley Not exactly the same lick, but here Jimi using the b9 chromatically. Also an amazing lick! You should check it out! kzread.infoUgkxWmR7VdbU5WUIMOkxjI0dy9aMxQRyzaF4 It's playing live after Buddy Guy at a bar. It uses lots of techniques and cool ideas, and sounds badass. Might be a good idea for a lesson :p

FANTASTIC JOB TEX!

Just started out 2 years ago and really loving your SRV teachings. Thanks

Happy 15th. The amount I’ve learned from you over the years has helped me in my guitar journey vastly.

Great job Anthony, you're a great player and a great teacher. You deserve the success you're having!!!

Well I’ve pretty much stopped posting at all because almost nothing short of clickbait bullshit gets any traction, so I’m not sure if that’s better.

In what world is this the first time I've ever come across you? Been a Stevie fan for 20 years. Can't wait to go back through your videos and learn from you!!

WOW! My first step into guitar was learning Pride and Joy from you back in 2008/9ish. I've been following Matthew Scott recently and to see he was your first comment is a really cool coincidence. You really started my guitar journey, and for that I thank you so much.

Happy anniversary, awsome channel. And what a beast of a player Mathew Scott has turned into, must make you proud to know he and many others are watching and learning from you.

Sometimes you never get to realize your influence and effect on viewers. In life, much of our interactions can fade in our memory while they grow and thrive in those we touched. Cool influence on Matthew Scott!

Thank You so Much

So Cool. Thanks so much!

Time flies, I've been following you almost from the beginning. Thanks for your work.

Congrats on the 15 years! Stevie based that lick on a lick T-Bone Walker used a lot! I think he was the first.

Thank you

great lesson I was playing in a club called Gatsbys on Morris ave which had a row of clubs I walked outside during a break and heard a wailing guitar coming from the cobblestone bar so i walked in and there was SRV sitting at the front of the stage playing his ass off to nobody but the waitress and bartender so walked up and sat directly in front of him and couldnt believe what I was seeing this was 3 months before he burst on the scene and something I'll never forget in Birmingham Al

Thank you so much for all your content and lessons over the past 15 years. I still remember when I first discovered your channel over 10 years ago. Life moves by so fast! I was still in high school when I found your channel and was starting to branch out from playing general rock music, into blues. One of the first videos I ever seen by you was your lesson on "the grip". I must've watched that video a dozen times, as it taught me how to do proper string bending. To my knowledge, it was the only video on KZread back then with a teacher showing how to properly do string bends and position your thumb over the low E string (this made me realize the advantages of playing a guitar with a thick neck) You also had several videos on rake techniques back in the day. Over the years, I would send those videos to friends who were looking for help with blues guitar and how to properly bend strings. Thank you again for all your content and lessons over the years. You have given the world a treasure trove of knowledge.

Congratulations, Anthony!!

🏁 Excellent,thanks

EXCELLENT.

Thanks, I've been trying my best to learn that damn lick for the better part of 4 years! I was close but could quite get that second phrase 👍🏻👍🏻

Sensational 👍

Awesome! You have a great technique for teaching. Thank you so much!

congrats Sir.

Happy anniversary! Have been watching since the Stevie Snacks days and now a TBXA local.

Happy Anniversary! I'm so loking forward to rejoining the Locals ❤

Congratulations 🎉 I've been following you for years.

Rhythmically, it sounds like a Johnny Winter lick, but Johnny never did it with the flat 2nd like SRV did. Truly unique to Stevie. Great video!

Congratulations 🎉15 years on YT! July 23rd, 1987 was the last time I saw SRV in concert, over 35 yrs ago!👍🎸🇨🇦

Thanks bro .

happy anniversary dude I've been watching and learning from your free lesson Friday since 2016

I guess T-Bone Walker was an inspiration for that lick. He very often used to start a lick this way but that flat9 is something very typical for Stevie

I think I heard Hendrix do that little half tone hammer on & off on the top string before. Always wondered how he did it til I heard you demonstrate it in a vid years ago. It's a regular in my playing now. Works really well in faster shuffles too.

Awesome lick, very useful..

thank you🙃

Congrats bud...great job

That is Solid, man. 🎸

Santana in Samba pa ti worked that hammer on/off a lot before going into the unison bends

If you look up Eric Clapton “Stock Phrases” he use is it as a launching point for a lot of solos.

Thx for The all The years! Since Stevie snacks!

Great video and explanation. Subscribed !

T-Bone Walker in "mean old world" did something like this lick

🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩 Very good 🎸

and many more!

Shalom brotha man, I'm so going to practice this lick, thank you for sharing this... 👍😁😎💯🎸

Well done sir! I’ll member up. Love this 🤙🤙

Happy Anniversary!

Ive seen clapton play this a lot!!!

That lick reminds me of chuck berry. It's the mixolydian mode with a passing note

I was in a house band in the 90s with another, better, SRV fan, so I purposely never learned this. Now I can enjoy it (but I'm a bit worried that since I can finally play it right I'll just HAVE to use it when we jam for fun :) I know my bro, he's gonna look over like "Really?!" Lol. Thanks this was so much fun.

Good stuff brother! 👍

Happy birthday, excellentes vidéos, la France aime le blues Texan...

Your action look impossibly high, I don't know how you do it!

Thx for sharing…sounds a bit like Hendrix in the opening solo of Red House.

Anthony, Congrats on your 15 year anniversary! I have for many years been fascinated by SRV adding the 9th and b9th to a dominant 7th chord. Being a bit of a theory geek, I've often wondered was he conceptualizing playing an E blues scale over the A7 chord. This to my mind is a very common improvising device which would be used by a jazz guitar player. He did cover "Chitlins Con Carne" by Kenny Burrell. Rock On! Blues On! Jazz On!

Great lesson! Then AND now! I think I heard this lick or similar from one or both of Mike Bloomfield or Johnny Winter. Maybe Albert Collins too. But it definitely registers as SRV the way you’re playing it. It’s awesome and congrats on your 15 years!

Everyone knows SRV was inspired by a number of great Blues guitarists. As he was learning and developing his OWN style and sound, I’m guessing Stevie made that lick his own signature lick. Just like he did with his string gauge selection. JMO

🔥🔥

Thanks for your insights! I found the first 8 bars of Pride and Joy in Scotty Moore’s 2nd lead in Elvis’s Good Rock’n Tonight. He borrowed from the greats like most greats do:) Many Cheers!
