SRV LICKS : The sweet sounds of Lenny

What a beautiful ballad, with so many lush licks and references to his heroes, and ALL of his own soul poured into it
We just pick out a quick lick in this one, all while talking about the masterpiece “Lenny”
Be well guys. Thanks for hanging out!
PEACE!

Stevie was born less than a year before me. Much like SRV, I started playing guitar at very early age, for me age 10 in 1965. We had a lot of the same influences, so when Stevie hit the scene, his music was familiar to me. The secret is that for us guitar players in the late 60’s early 70’s, word got around that if you wanted to get into next level blues chords, you had to get the Mickey Baker Jazz Guitar Volume 1. The Lenny chords are major 6 straight from the Mickey Baker book. Riviera Paradise, Superstitious, Walking the Tightrope, he’s using chords from Mickey Baker.
I played guitar in my school jazz band in the early 70’s and the Baker book was my bible. First time I heard Lenny, I could play it in five minutes. It’s just a Mickey Baker major 6 moving up and down.

This was an awesome analysis right there, man. You're pointing out some really important stuff here, like no one before, please do more stuff like this! This truly is an awesome lesson.
Really like how you're nailing all the Jimi influenced moments.

Thanks. Im glad you enjoyed it!

Wish I could get that "sting" that comes across on his B string 7h9 vibrato during the main riff. Something so simple yet so hard to duplicate like him.

I never tire of this kind of soulful playing....sweet sounds indeed!

[@jeffreycameron9592]

Your tone on this is wicked-- reminds me of the Out of the Shadows boot

Just beautiful chords. I don't think I'll ever get over the loss of these two titans of guitar. :(
What amp were you using here btw?

[@theriffwniksevigny5473]

My signature amp from Custom by Cougar

[@ChristianInSanDiego]

Great playing dude!

[@RayB.I]

Do you remember what amp this is ? Deluxe with the altec speaker ?

[@theriffwniksevigny5473]

Super reverb!

[@rtbemt]

Great playing man!!!! I saw you mentioned you have the volume rolled down. Is this your clean time into the amp or is your tube screamer on as well?

[@glennmartin4232]

I know it’s a lot of work but if you could tab these licks. Put them on Patreon.

[@heyjarrod]

It’s OK to know the names of chords! 😝🤘🏻🎸🇺🇸

It's a wonderful sound Nik, but why call it "lenny" it has nothing to do with lenny tones...cheers
