PRIDE AND JOY - guitar lesson - how to play the right way + Texas Shuffle tutorial

Lesson / tutorial / how to play Pride and Joy and Texas Shuffle the right way
With all Stevie Ray Vaughan's picking and fretting details, but in E standard tuning for learning convenience.

There's many lessons on youtube, but some details needed further clarification so I tried to get as close as possible as how Stevie played it in the studio, based on watching his live performances. It plays it with minor variations, but it's mostly revealing of the studio recording.

Have fun with it and check out these other lessons:

It's a bit long so feel free to come back and divide the lesson in bits.

Although it seems that EVERYBODY offers a Pride And Joy tutorial, this one is the best I’ve seen, and the most “user-friendly.” Thank you!!!

[xXTepicwinTXx]

Bro. The live performance overlay in slow mo over your playing is the most innovative and beautiful aspect of your instructionals. Thank you so much for taking the time to do this

[danmatelsky]

Finally ! Someone who knows the importance of explainations, and slow motion

[mannishboy-]

[luisraposo-]

How can Marty music have more subs than this guy. This tutorial must be one of the most in depth tutorials on YouTube!lGood job 👏

[chrisspelic]

this is the best way to learn this song on the web. Period

[jimstarfiegener]

Love how concise you are! None of the "uhhh...oh, wait....no it's like this...ummmm...uhhh..." that most tutorials have. Thanks a TON Alberto!

[jameshicks]

I wish I had found your tutorial earlier. Now I can play It correctly. Really enjoyed your explanation of the left hand technique! Thanks for the time you put into this!! You have a new subscriber!

[kellystauffer]

Thanks so much. You bring our attention to all the nuances that normally would take years to notice and figure out, if at all. But thisadvances our playing of these great songs by the masters so exponentially, it's just wild that you do this! So appreciated!!!!

[bobymox]

All Pride and Joy tutorials are diferente, but this one is really most close to the original!Its great explained what is Texas shuffle!!

[dowaliby]

You are amazing - both as a player and as a teacher. Thanks for playing it in the E standard key and for slowing things down so a mere mortal can absorb them.

[HarrrySpider]

EXELLENT lesson, man. Showing the full figure, then slowed down, just SO much more useful than others who TALK and TALK and then only play one note at a time.
your approach here is FAR more useful. Great work!

[anthonymoore]

I think it's fantastic that you teach in standard tuning. It make sit soooo much easier for those of us who do not want to retune out guitars.

[robertveith]

You are the best teacher on UTUBE hands down thank you man !!!!

[stevelewis]

I've been watching people play the song with tab on the screen and call it a tutorial. Its awesome how you explain it. Thank you, I'm subbing if all your tutorials are this good!!

[SonsOfThunder]

The actual secret no one tells you directly is you need to have Srvs action on the strings to get the muting just right. I started to learn this shuffle on a low action shred style guitar. It always sounded messy because its nearly impossible to mute the strings and play a single note while the string is just above the fret. Youll end up either fretting more notes, or your fingers will be too high to mute. You NEED to raise the action, refer to Srvs specific style. That way when you go to fret the single note, youll almost surely block the other strings. I switched to this set up for his specific style and its helping greatly. You dont need thicker strings, im using 10s. Im sure you can use 9s, or whatever you like. 1. Get the playing right, 2. Raise the action and youll be the results.

[homespuncovers]

Wow, I finally get how it’s done. Something that has evaded me since the early days (and giving up cuz I thought it was too far over my head) thank you!

[szwagierchuck]

Alberto Lombardi is the only channel where i give like even before i see the video.

[iwens]

This is a great tut. What's awesome is the inset video of Stevie doing what you are teaching.

[KittyCat-dppy]

Many try to teach this song but nobody comes close to the way you teach it. You are amazing!! Took me a month of watching and practicing many times finding something I missed before but I finally got it. Now I need to practice so I can play it with finesse .
Thank you 🤘
