Crossfire -- Stevie Ray Vaughan Taken from a video of an appearance on Austin City Limits in 1989 or '90, this lick exemplifies Stevie Ray Vaughan's unique blend of the blues and rock. Always driving, always moving with a forward motion, never flagging. That's Stevie Ray's style.
You can hear his influences at play - Jimi Hendrix and Albert King especially. The lick is in the key of Eb, using the pentatonic minor scale exclusively. He tuned his guitar down to Eb, so it looks like he's playing in E. He moves between patterns 1 and 2, with excursions into patterns 3 and 5 (see Blues You Can Use for explanations of the patterns). If you want to capture SRV's rocking, driving sound, always have a note sounding. |
