  • Hey GMC-ers! Welcome to my cover of the famous SRV song titled "Pride & Joy". This time I'll cover the rhythm section only.

    "Pride & Joy" is probably SRV's best known song, and is the second track on his first album named "Texas Flood". Stevie wrote this song for her wife Lenora.

    The rhythm part is a bit tricky if you are not familiar with the shuffle. The shuffle is a triplet based rhythm. Stevie produced it by hitting the desired note or chord and upstroke and mute the last note of the triplet.

    Techniques:
    * Texas Shuffle
    * Chord Strumming
    * Bluesy Phrasing
    * Hammer-ons
    * Pull-offs

    Tuning:
    * Half Step Down
    * Eb - Ab - Db - Gb - Bb - Eb
    (From thick to thin string)

    If you have any questions:
    * Give feedback (upper-right-corner)
    * My Personal Board
    * General Forum

    Have fun Practicing!/ Mate
