Here's my attempt to put together a basic Texas-style blues shuffle. It's inspired by Stevie Ray Vaughan's "Pride and Joy", but isn't intended to be a note for note transcription on 3 string.

A very useful and informative tutorial CBJ. Slick playing and heavy growly blues sound! Going to give that a go.

Loving that sound. Super well done.

I kind of think I should attempt to learn that but I keep on mostly doing my same old shite. But I like my same old shite. I am a story song guy and a harp player. But it would be cool and impressive as heck to do what you just did.

The strings are 046, 030, 022, my usual balanced tension set. Roland StreetCube amp, "lead" setting, a bit of reverb, no pedal effects.
