okay so now that you've got an appropriate tone

and you've got the key techniques down

it's time to start looking at one of Stevie's greatest

attributes his right hand

at the beginning of Stevie's career

he mainly played in a trio

which meant that he had a lot of space to fill

within his ensemble this meant utilizing a loud amp

and hammering away at the strings relentlessly

this is showcase perfectly in pride and joy

and is a great

way to get started with learning Stevie's signature

rhythm technique

so the pride and joy riff is going to start on the B

and the E strings

we're gonna play 5th fret on the B and 0 on the E

we've got the shuffle type pattern going

and then we're going up to a on the B7 on the E

so when you play through this riff here

it's not really enough just to play the north

you've got to get the right hand on the go

get that rhythm really going with that right hand

so if you notice as well with my right hand

I'm not anchored down at the bridge with my wrist

let you watch TV play

and his wrists always in this position

kinda gives you a bit more freedom rhythmically

rather than

anchoring yourself down on that bridge there

so if we try this first part

we're gonna slide up from 3 to 5 on the beat

we just wanna get a nice rhythm

going with the right hand

1 1 2 1 2 1 2

so just try and get comfortable with that

right hand movement there

then after that intral riff

we're gonna go to a big rig bend on the second fret G

so I'm strumming through all the strings

just sounding out that second fret on the G

coming back down to the second fret

0 g

and then London second fret on the d

so when I hit that zero G

I'm coming up with the right hand

and then back down to land on the 2 on the d

with that downstroke

and then another up stroke to introduce the riff

then this leads us into the main riff

so the riff features a walk and bass style guitar part

played on the downbeat

partnered with a rhythmic scratch on the upbeat

so this is done all while keeping a consistent

alternate strum and pattern with the right hand

so when I'm trying to learn a riff like this

I'll get myself comfortable with the notes first

so I'll work out the notes

so I'll go through that a couple of times

just to make sure I know what I'm doing

so I get to the point where I

don't have to think about what notes I'm playing

which allows me to focus on locking in

rhythmically with the right hand

along with the drums when I'm playing

along with the backing track

so when I'm playing through this riff here

I'll just pick individual notes just to get used to it

to picks per note

and then once I'm used to the the notes I'm playing

I'll start on the right handed

so I'm using that rigging technique that we discussed

ultimate strumming with the right hand down up

down up all the time

consistently keeping that right hand moving

so using this rig and technique is crucial

as it gives the riff more of a percussive sound

so once we're used to that riff

we're gonna start adding these up strums

on the open strings

so after each note I'm playing

I'm literally taking my left hand off

and then strumming up with the right hand

so I finish the riff off

I'm playing the second frets on the d and the G

and then resolving on this E major

so second fret d first fret G

just a classic E major chord

so key thing to take away here is

keeping the right hand consistently moving up and down

with an alternate strum pattern

so once we're used to the E chord

we're gonna play the same riff

but we're just gonna move everything down the string

so now we're gonna start on the a string

so play the a once and then go back to the E

let's see if we can get through those two parts there

at full speed

so I find as long as you keep the right hand moving

keep the rhythm consistent

even if you make a mistake with the left hand

it's gonna be hard for people to tell

so if you can only tell if you mess the right hand up

so just keep that right hand consistently moving

so after that riff we're going in this kinda

this open e blues and then lick

so here I'm just sliding 2 to 4 on the G

catching that third fret on the beat

sliding back down 2 to 4 and then pull off to 0 on the

landing two on the D

quick camera on 0 2 on the E string

then after that climbing up chromaticly on the D012

and I've got 0 d

2 1

0 E

then a hammering up with this blues note

so 0 1 0

London 3 on the E

land on that second fret on the D

and then finish off

we're gonna do some double stops on the G and the B

sliding up 4 and three

same thing sliding back down 4

2 on the G

pull off to zero last second fret D

and then just climbing up the blues Pentatonix or 0

3 on the 8 0

1 2 on the a string

then finish off climbing up chromatically on the D012

so that whole riff slow at the end

and then up the speed

I find in this section if you do all down picks

it gives you the

it gives the riff a bit more of an aggressive feel

so that was one of Stevie's key characteristics

as a guitar player even really

really digging with a right hand

really bleed those nuts

so let's try and play through this full

pride and joy riff from the start

so key aspects to take away

really driving along with the right hand

aggressive playing keep the rhythm going let's try

so once you're comfortable with the riff

it's time to play along with a backing track

really focus on the drums

and try to lock in with your right hand

record yourself playing the riff along the button track

to evaluate your plan it really helps

when you're trying to determine whether or

not you need a hold back or speed up
