How To Play TIGHTROPE by Stevie Ray Vaughan

[GuitarPilgrim]

This is probably one of my favorite SRV songs!

Finally, you’re the first teacher on YouTube to teach it correctly regarding the muting technique. The other just teach it as single lines, but it’s clearly played with more passion than that

Beyond Stevie's great playing, I'm blown away at how loose his body was. I shake my head watching his right arm with a loose wrist hitting exactly the strings he wants. Thanks for the video, backing tracks and tab. Have a great weekend.

SRV said he was a disciple of The Three Kings: Albert, B.B., and Freddy. He was the only musician who ever gave me goosebumps, and it still happens when I hear his music. Your take on his playing almost moved me to tears. You're a great talent, and thank you for your wonderful videos.

Great choice of song! I feel that this one gets often overshadowed by some of his more popular songs. The solo he played for tightrope at the Austin city limits is absolutely exhilarating!

Really like the stages of complexity teaching style. Very effective.

[davidsummerville]

That strat sounds great! Love the way you go in depth on the nuances of these masterpieces.

One of Stevie's funkiest songs ever. Great choice to analyze.

That was awesome Thom! Your playing always amazes me! SRV was without a doubt one of the greatest. I was wondering if you ever covered any songs by the late great Gary Moore? Hope that you & your family are doing well. 👍👍😉😉🎸🎸

Love how Hendrix and SRV used muting with hard picking to get the percussive sound

[timotejlubej]

The solo he delivered in the live from Austin TX version of this song was completely nuts
