cool voodoo...that one is on my short list to learn!
ww
Had never tried to learn that SRV tune, but your video inspired me to try, and was very helpful in doing so! Thanks!
Clip attached. I found a backing track at GuitarBT.com. I slowed it down just a tad, since I'm just learning the tune. Plus Audacity let's you change the pitch (SRV tuned to E flat), so that I didn't even have to retune my LP.
I made a couple of changes. First, on those various phrases, I like ending on the low note (E or A), rather than the octave up--just a personal preference. Secondly, rather than sliding the notes down on that last section, I like to hammer on the B and then pull off to the A and G. Adds one note, but I kind of like the way it sounds. I repeated this phrase a few times at the end just to demonstrate the sound a little more clearly.
And I love that E7#9 chord to end with! SRV used it a lot, I've noticed.
Recorded with my new Behringer mic using my LP (both pups) and the AD30VT set to the UK70's model (gain only halfway to keep it clean; treble at 3/4, mid and bass about half) and a touch of reverb. No other effects/pedals.
I definitely have to get a better sound card, 'cuz this one is terrible for the trebles. The recording lacks the brightness of the real sound from the amp.

Good job Voodoo - I am glad my video lesson was helpful for you! It sounded pretty much spot on.

I always found mary had a little lamb, I say i got at least 7 versions maybe more that i heard and don't own... guarenteed... every song has a totally different instrumental that he improvised on stage. Its a song for the few who can graspe his style I think...
SRV WAS THE MAN, no ifs and or s**t about it... last great guitarist i think we will ever see.

Agree with you about the different "flavors" of the various MHALL recordings. And he could lay down some just amazingly fast & rhythmic chord work on the tune. Guitarists who can basically just improvise on the fly and still have it sound great are a rare breed indeed. And I put SRV right at the head of that class!
