It's funny how sometimes what seems like a bad thing in life can turn out to be a great thing in the end. It was like you don't hear the fundamental until next Tuesday (laughingly)." ("Good reverb," I tried wittily interjecting.) "A little too good. He used to play at Blossoms downstairs in Fort Worth but I think the first time I saw him was in the Will Rogers Auditorium where they have the rodeo and it was the worst sounding room in the world. I never did meet him but saw many times, of course. I thought since we're remembering him today, I thought that might be a good one to remember him with. You know, it was just one of those things that you just know that him and Jimmie ( Jimmie Vaughn, SRV's brother) would've just gone on and toured with that song and it would've catapulted both of them. We just did " Tick Tock" (my favorite SRV song after " Texas Flood") and the first time I heard that song was at the coverage of his funeral. And I don't even like to say things like that because people say 'Yeah, sure,' but he was a big inspiration to me."īuddy Whittington: "When I go down to Austin and see that statue, I think that's a pretty good day's work for a guy from Oak Cliff to end up like that. And I'm not big on vibes and auras and stuff like that but I swear on everything that's holy to me that when Stevie walked up to me he radiated a light, he had an aura about him. So about two months before his death, Stevie's playing in Dallas at Fair Park, I take his watch to him, get backstage and he's very amused that I'm even there bringing him his watch-he was very polite, a very sweet, soft-spoken man. Quick follow-up: Stevie never came back for that watch at my dad's jewelry shop.
Those were his exact words, 'Keep it clean' and I'm gettin' a chill hearing those words again. (I asked Suhler what this meant as in clean guitar with no effects.) No, no he was in recovery at that time and I think that is where the richest part of his legacy is as great as his music was, it was to help people out of the darkness, he was kinda a ray of light for a lot of people and continues to be and I think that was the coolest thing about his whole story. Then, my dad said to Stevie, 'Well, do you have any advice for my son, he's a musician too?' At the time I was mortified my dad would ask that question but Stevie Ray said, 'Yeah, keep it clean.' Which is good advice. He and my dad started talking, I was 28 and playing guitar not doin' much but trying to figure it out and it turned out in the conversation that we had some Vaughns as cousins from Oak Cliff (a Dallas neighborhood that spawned SRV) including a Jim Vaughn but as they talked, it turned out there was no relation. (Spoken with the kind of severe disappointment only another guitar shredder could have.) My dad owned and operated a jewelry store in Dallas for close to 50 years and in the summer of 1989, Stevie came in the store to have a watch repaired and obviously, I knew who he was.

I have put together a complete course that will help you to play this style of blues guitar. This style of blues guitar is really exciting, and will launch your blues guitar playing to a new level. Here’s a common phrase used during that solo in “3rd Degree”. Many of his licks are fiery, bluesy, and outright dirty! This is the blues at it’s finest. Johnny makes excellent use of the minor pentatonic scale in many of his solos. If you haven’t heard this album or song, then you are truly missing out on some of the best blues guitar you have ever heard. Also check out “See See Baby”, a shuffle that would make Freddie King proud. On the album 3rd Degree, the title track gives you some killer licks to learn. His style is very similar to SRV, and requires a lot of chops to execute his amazing blues guitar licks. He used fingerpicks as well, but you don’t have to use them to imitate him. Johnny Winter played some very fast, very precise blues licks. You will then need to develop some speed.
This is the scale he uses the most, along with the blues scale, and the major pentatonic scale.
Well, first you will need to learn the minor pentatonic scale. So how do you learn to play guitar like Johnny Winter?
