Just joined a wedding band and need to learn this one. Searched last week and said "oh, man, no Justin lesson on Pride and Joy?" But then, just like that, Justin delivers! Thanks for doing what you do!!!!

[DeadHarryIsKl]

Absolutely the best guitar teacher on the planet. No doubt.

You're the only guitar teacher who you can make a real progress with in the first try! You're the legend of this generation Justin

really well done - too many players don't cop the count of the intro correctly - you nail it. also totally right about the circle picking/strumming ... it's the little 'rake' of the muted strings that creates the essential pulsing rhythmic component of the part ... you even nailed the little G# grace note on the walking bass line between the G and the B - almost inaudilbe at tempo but really creates the difference between 'ok' and 'really good' ... super lesson - thanks for sharing it

I have seen many tutorials on Pride and Joy and you are the only one that shows the circular strumming the way SVR did it. Love your tutorials and how you do everything to show the way it is really done. You rock Justin!!

Excellent easy to understand lesson… no wasted time talking and lots of playing examples. I love the way you broke this down into manageable sections!

Aprendí a tocar esta canción gracias a ti.
La semana pasada, el colegio de mi hija que es católico, nos pidieron a los padres que participaremos en el aniversario mostrando un "talento" y me anime a subir con una guitarra acústica y tocar "Pride And Joy" que aprendí gracias a ti. Además de 2 padres que conocían al la canción, los otros padres y niños no la conocían.
Yo y mi "mal Ingles" los hicimos vibrar.
Ahora ellos piensan que soy un maestro de la guitarra blusera jajajaj
Desde Chile un agradecido. quería que lo supieras

The best teacher on the web! I play with transcribe continually : You can change the key and the tempo! Excellent tool!

[shoma]

About 10 yrs ago I decided to get serious about lead guitar (was an acoustic strummer) and thought I'd start with this "little" shuffle (since I played them all the time on acoustic).
So this lesson on the first few bars takes a 25 min vid (based on how many hrs of work)... and now you know why the first song I picked took 6 mths to learn... lol!
But, while it was an eye opener for sure, I don't regret any of it... so much to learn, and to understand how the great players make the difficult look sooo easy.
Great work explaining the technique's... I use a touch less muting, but you've got the original recording sound spot on... nice!

Watched SRV play this a lot on the video. Never noticed or could figure out the circle pattern strum. Outstanding explanation. Thank you sir!

[duangrev]

Thanks a lot from France . "life without you" "scuttle buttin' " or "cold shot" next time ?.... You are great teacher .

[adamhicks]

Justin, thank you so frickin much for this lesson man. You were so right! The individual note licks are so fun to play in this song, but the "Texas shuffle" is definitely one of the trickiest parts about this song. Thank you for breaking it down and offering insight and tips to improve technique on this

[paulf]

Best lesson I've heard on playing like Stevie Ray Vaughan. Thank you Justin!

[MrBHBjr]

This is gold, I don't know how long you spent making this video but great job! Now because of you i finally have the concept of the strum/mute to start working on it and I thank you so much for that Justin!

[bobross]

Justin, thank you! I have been working on this for a couple of weeks and it helps me play other things better as well.

[jdmfreak]

You are the absolute best. I can't thank you enough for this Justin!
