Here’s how to play that signature ascending lick from SRV’s song “Tell Me” off of his debut album “Texas Flood”. I taught this lick incorrectly a few years ago, and it’s actually simpler than I thought.Join the email list here.Door Anthony Stauffer

There is no feeling like looking back over your DOCUMENTED progress, a record of what you’ve worked on and accomplished. That feeling is the goal you need to keep in mind when you’re tempted to skip the simple step of writing down what you accomplished in your guitar study each day. Think of that feeling, and let the gravity of that satisfaction pu…

Michael Palmisano turned me on to a video of Prince playing his song “Cream” on acoustic guitar, and there’s an awesome blues lick right in the middle that jumped out at me as soon as he played it.The Original VideoMichael Palmisano Prince Reaction VideoGuitargate.comDoor Anthony Stauffer

Despite my best efforts to copy everything Stevie did, I somehow missed his downward vibrato technique. Later, when I noticed something was different, I just assumed there was no difference in sound between pulling and pushing the string. But in this lesson I’ll show you a few things about his downward vibrato technique that actually do make it sou…

I used to think that if I studied Stevie Ray Vaughan, I’d learn to play like Jimi Hendrix at the same time, but that’s just not true. In this lesson I’ll show you an embellishment from Little Wing that SRV never played, and as a result, I never learned…. until now.Door Anthony Stauffer

Some of you (like me) will never be motivated to do anything by being told you “have” to do it. Not everyone is wired like a warrior, some you are explorers, and what’s going to motivate you is the opportunity to do something great, not pressure to be more disciplined. In this video I’ll talk about some of the ways that you can reframe how you thin…

Here are two free lessons from my latest course called “Texas Hustle Rhythms - Vol. 1”. The course is a companion course for my Johnny Winter soloing course, and it teaches you 10 simple rhythms that match that style of song.Door Anthony Stauffer

Some people are born with natural singing vibrato, the rest of us have to work for it. But nobody is born with vibrato on guitar, especially the kind of vibrato used on bent notes. In this lesson I’ll show you a simple technique for developing your vibrato while bending notes that comes directly from the singing lessons that helped me develop my vo…

What’s better than learning a new chord embellishment that sounds like Jimi Hendrix and is easy to play? Not much. This chord embellishment takes you from an E-Form to a C-Form chord and works over a IV to I, or a I to V chord transition.Door Anthony Stauffer

The endurance and strength in your fretting hand (and forearm) play a big part in how long you can play blues well. Because we do lots of bending, our forearm and hand muscles are constantly being worked. In this video I’ll show you how to use trills in various positions to quickly work out these muscles in a complete and comprehensive way.…

In this lesson I’ll show you how to play the ending for “Lenny” by Stevie Ray Vaughan, from the El Mocambo show. This version is slightly different than the studio version, and I actually prefer it. Members of our TXBA Locals program will get tablature to accompany this lesson.Door Anthony Stauffer

Effort is like water. If you don’t channel it, it spreads out and loses all its power. In my time off camera, I’ve not always been very disciplined in channeling my creativity into a single project at a time and the results are months of accomplishing very little. I’m guessing that the same might be true for you guitar studying as well.…
