Chords for Stevie Ray Vaughan Guitar Lesson - Audio ReSynced

_ _ _ [Eb] _ _ _ If you remember the classic [G] Barry single [Eb] Let's Dance, this man played the guitar solo.
Now it's six years and four million album sales later.

Stevie Ray Vaughan is widely regarded as one of the best guitarists in the world.
[Ebm] _ As I was hearing the original blues masters _ from the States,
_ _ _ I was also [Db] hearing the English blues boom [Eb] at the same time.
So not only was I getting the original, but I was getting this _ _ _ _ _ updated, energized version of the same thing.
_ So I had less reservations _ and less reasons to be [Gb] so-called a purist.
_ And therefore I wasn't as restricted about what I could [G] learn.
Show me how you combine the two. _ _ _
_ _ That 60s Mersey beat is what you're talking about.
I don't know about the Mersey beat so much, but _ like, for instance,
_ OK, _ Freddie [Eb] King does hideaway like. And. _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [Gb] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [Db] _ _ _ _ [Eb] _ _ _
_ [Gb] _ _ [Eb] _ _ _ _ _
[F] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ [Gm] _
_ _ _ [Eb] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ Eric Clapton does it like this. [Ab] Oh, [Eb] man. _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [Gm] _ _ _ [G] _ _ [Eb] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [Ab] _
_ _ _ _ [Eb] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[A] _ [G] There's a small difference there.
You won [Gb] a Grammy for the best blues [Eb] instrumental the other year, [G] right?
Which is a really big deal.
[G] Yeah.
[Ab] What was that?
I believe it was for Rude Mood.
We've been nominated like seven [E] times.
Rude Mood.
_ _ _ _ _ And it's it's actually a take off of a light and Hopkins [G] thing _ _ _ _ like _ _ _
[N] _ a _ thing called Lightening Skyhop, which is it's a take off of it.
And _ _ I guess it's you know, it's just it's just mean and it sounds like a rude mood.

That's my favorite note. _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ Stevie Ray's current triumphant European tour may never have happened.
Two years ago, despite increasing success, Vaughn was in the grip of longstanding drug and alcohol addiction.
He [Ab] was near death before he decided to take [Eb] action.
_ I woke up one morning on [G] a tour bus in Germany. _ _ _
I couldn't hardly get up.
_ _ I was scared of everything.
My friends _ just _ _ being awake.
I was scared. _
_ I tried to say hi to my bass player and I started crying.
_ _ I was a wreck.
_ _ _ _ And _ _ I realized right then that the only way to win this thing was to give up.
_ _ _ And I did.
What did you do?
I had a breakdown. _ _
Yeah, [G] that thank God that happened, _ because _ _ then I was able to ask for help.
_ As opposed [Gb] to, oh, make it through this.
_ _ [D] Yeah, I'll make it through it if I ask for help.
It's the reality of it.
It's a myth that people are superhuman.
_ When you see someone on stage, the _ [Abm] obvious first thought is that these people are bigger than life.
[G] And stronger than life. _
That's why they're so special to go see.
_ It's part of the guitar hero myth, isn't it?
Yeah, it's a myth.
What do you think about that?
I mean, look what it did with Eric Clapton.
People were calling him God, and he went, wait a minute, _ I'm human.
[D] One of the things that led on to, apart from your own success, is you've played [Abm] with Stevie Wonder.
[G] You've cooperated a lot, right? _ _
Thank you [Abm] for that one.
_ _ Stevie Wonder, I've been a fan of his since I can remember.
_ _ [Eb] _ _
Since primary school. _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ First we did _ _ _ our version on a live album, and mixed it in Stevie Wonder's studio.
_ _ _ Out of result from that, [G] _ he liked what we had done.
_ _ And the next time he recorded, he calls me up and asks me to play on the character's album.
_ _ _ So, _ _ out of that comes _ _ also playing on the character's special, the MTV special.
Alright, [Abm] let's_
Well, the difference in the feels were_
How was your version? _ _ _
_ _ Ours was [Ebm] _ like_ _
