SRV Testify Practice Clip

Thought I’d record a clip on my progress through this track, between the 13-15-19-28-38-58 gauge with high action, managing fatigue and trying to remember the notes, this thing is blazing, not my best take but thought I’d share it, I’m pretty happy with the progress, this is just half the track, hope it gets easier!

Just the cam mic on my z6iii.

Thank you, really appreciate it, hope I can get through it all soon.

Holy smokes that tone!

Also, you seem to play with quite a relaxed touch, which I’d argue contributes to such a nice groove.

Wow, thank you man! Very encouraging, I think a million times before posting a clip like that. Really appreciate your comments.

Great tone and playing. Sounded really great, especially with just a phone mic. I would love to hear you play this with a backing track.

Nice work - this is one of my favorite SRV blues performances, and you’re doing it justice here.

Looks like this is all neck pickup? I always wondered about this one, and actually a lot of Vaughan’s playing, it sounded a little like he was working his pickup selector switch more than maybe I might have thought, but it could just be pick inflection. You look like you’re n neck onlu here, though, and the tone is very close.

Was struggling with micing the amp with this tone, nothing was working, randomly tried the mic far away pointing away, worked like a charm, learn something new everyday. So finally have a starting point!
