Welcome to Learn to Play Stevie Ray Vaughan Volume 2, an indispensable resource for guitarists eager to delve into the iconic style of one of blues' greatest artists. This comprehensive tutorial by Jamie Humphries dissects the techniques, scales, and stylistic quirks found in five of Vaughan's renowned songs: The House is Rockin', Couldn't Stand the Weather, Change It, Lenny, and Rude Mood.
Stevie Ray Vaughan, with his raw passion and masterful command of the guitar, created a sound that transcended typical blues, cementing his legacy as one of the most influential blues guitarists of all time. His unique blend of blues, rock, and jazz continues to inspire countless guitarists worldwide.
The House is Rockin'
The House is Rockin' is a high-energy blues-rock masterpiece built around Vaughan's potent rhythm guitar work and blazing lead lines. The song is based predominantly on the E Blues scale, providing a gritty and grounded foundation that perfectly accommodates Vaughan's explosive soloing.
The song's lead parts exhibit Vaughan's creative use of double-stops, string bending, and alternate picking. A standout in the song is his seamless transition from rhythm to lead playing, illustrating the power of rhythm and melody and their interplay.
Couldn't Stand the Weather
Couldn't Stand the Weather is a tour de force of Vaughan's blues prowess. The song, in the key of G# minor, combines standard blues chord progressions with Vaughan's innovative lead playing, creating a rich tapestry of blues guitar.
The song's solo section showcases Vaughan's expressive use of vibrato, string bending, and double-stops. An extensive look at the solo also reveals Vaughan's effective use of syncopated rhythms and his uncanny ability to incorporate bluesy bends that add an extra layer of emotion to his playing.
Change It
Change It is a groovy blues number that shines a light on Vaughan's more rhythm-focused skills. Based on the D major scale, the song's chord structure underscores Vaughan's soulful guitar licks.
The solo for Change It highlights Vaughan's tasteful application of slides, hammer-ons, and pull-offs. The legato lines are interspersed with power chords and syncopated rhythms, resulting in a tasteful blend of rhythm and melody.
Lenny
Lenny is a beautiful, slow-tempo instrumental piece dedicated to Vaughan's wife. It showcases Vaughan's expressive side, with a delicate balance of major and minor pentatonic scales that create a soulful, melancholic atmosphere.
The guitar solo in Lenny is a masterclass in vibrato, harmonics, and string bending. It also features intricate arpeggios that exhibit Vaughan's technical precision and control. His use of sustain, slides, and pre-bends adds depth and dimension to the composition, revealing the emotional depth of his musicianship.
Rude Mood
Rude Mood is a fast-paced instrumental blues number that is arguably one of Vaughan's most technically demanding pieces. Built around the E Blues scale, the song's blistering pace and complex picking patterns require technical precision and swift hand coordination.
Vaughan's unique blend of alternate picking, string bending, and hammer-ons results in a flurry of notes that dances over a driving rhythm. This song is an excellent study of Vaughan's use of harmonics and chromaticism, offering a deeper look into his versatile playing style.
Stevie Ray Vaughan's contribution to these songs transcends technical skills and musical theory. His playing was deeply emotional and expressive, rooted in his own life experiences.
