Repitition builds tension. Also gives audience something to relate to. Guitarists can get bored with their own playing becsause they hear themselves all the time, but an audience doesn't so what you feel bored with sounds great to them.

Awesome lesson, and you've never taught a better course than your new "Under The Influence: Texas Blues - SRV Edition", and that's saying a lot when one considers all the super courses that preceded it! This new course covers every aspect of SRV's playing and sound: you said it all CC ! Thank you!

Repetition Legitimizes

Love the chord/lick from Lenny - always sends chills. The Live at the El Macambo performance is a real inspiration. I had that on repeat for a whole year in college. (repeat...😊)

That specific performance is a bit reason I fell in love with guitar. I totally agree, sends chills for me every time still too!

Had to add these licks to my arsenal’s

The point of repetition is actually the RELEASE from the repetition. You're capturing the brain and when you let it go there's a natural response to the freedom from that sound.

I use the drop live to carry less gear and enjoy it. There’s something great about a strat actually tuned down though….it just feels good and is fun to play.

After seeing the Man the myth and a legend at about a dozen times. It never gets old to hear some new insights and do my best to make it sound good. Well at least to me. Thanks Corey…

Wish I could have seen him once 😢. I hope you enjoy the video!

That tone!!! It sounds so good!! Your SRV playing is god-tier man! So yeah I figured out this trick years ago playing around in bars-- its like when nobody is really paying attention and then you goof around and do this simple trill or something for about 15 seconds and you have the entire bar stop and watch you playing like you are gd Eddie Van Halen or something. It always cracks me up and so fun because most people think you're doing something really hard when you do that. Especially if you can continue over multiple chord changes. You literally can't mess it up. And then once you go back to doing arpeggios and string skipping really cuttin it loose everyone goes back to the bar and ignores you..classic. LMFAO.

The first new vid since I became a subscriber, great job Corey - as always .. Your lessons are the best ... I have found that the combination of Eb tuning and heavy ( 13s ) gauge strings is what is necessary .. When tuned flat, the heavier strings will resonate and really work in conjunction with your hands - it is a sound thing, of course, but even more, it makes you attack and approach the guitar differently ... Thank again, no teacher on youtube has helped me more - your arpeggio vids are classic !!

If I recall, I do touch on picking. However, it’s mostly all alternate picking. You can see some of the preview lessons on the site and see if you like it. It’s a lot of fun!

Have you ever done a video on how you like your guitars set up? how do you like them to feel? You mentioned you're using 9's on this guitar but how about string height and neck relief? I've been fighting with my guitars lately because they feel so stiff!

Thanks Corey. Sound very good. So you just put your bassman on 4 treble on max and it starts cranch? I able to do it on my deluxe only on max volume, amp has a lot of headroom. Thanks again

I would go klaustrophobic in your darkroom. Thanks for your guidance.

And having giant hands + playing strings so heavy most people couldn't play them....doesn't hurt.

Play it twice and call it jazz

SRV tuned lower and he used extra heavy strings, though.

@@coreycongilio I get that, just pointing out how SRV did it. Ooops, Googled it, and SRV didn't have particularly heavy strings. He used custom guages: .013 - .015 - .019p - .028 - .038 - .058, somewhat heavy on the low side. Guess living in Austin, I don't as much as I thought about SRV.
