It might be tricky if you're new to this technique...
lliber19th September 2007Another great lesson Muris
Willster20th September 2007Hey, Great lesson. Just curious but what type of settings do u think I should have on my amp (reverb, treble, mid,bass, distortion) that sorta thing. I just want to get a good blues sound setting (I know a lot of the sound is the way u play your guitar but i thought the settings might make a diffrence thanks.
Muris Varajic20th September 2007Thanks a lot!
I had similar question in my sub-board,gear section.
Check it out,hope it'll help. ![]()
al christie20th September 2007Are you using a tube screamer to get the SRV sound, its pretty authentic, you have his technique down man, great sound.
Muris Varajic21st September 2007Thanks Al !!
No tube screamer...I've said this million times,only Korg Pandora PX4D ![]()
MG6621st September 2007Hi Muris and thank you, a very wonderful lesson.

Muris Varajic30th September 2007Many thanks Ben,appreciate it!! ![]()
How did you make this backing track, or did you pick it up from somewhere ?
thanks, -- john
Muris Varajic5th October 2007I made it by myself,of course
How? Check out my sub-board,I answered on similar questions there.
And use forum as well,you might find lots of useful things. ![]()
PlayAllDay9th October 2007Oh Muris you are so great for making this lesson - SRV was the man who made me pick up an electric guitar in the first place ![]()
Muris Varajic9th October 2007Thanks,just trying to do my best.
![]()
PlayAllDay10th October 2007I'm loving playing this - have noticed a tab error on video 3 tab - second note on the D string should be 5th fret not 6th. I've checked it against audio. Maybe you would change that?
Muris Varajic9th October 2007My mistake,sorry!
Thanks for the tip,will tell Kris to update it.
David OToole15th October 2007Great stuff Muris, sounds classy, pro, tasty amd played brill of course.
When I once read an interview with the man himself, he was saying he used 13s! He said he tuned them down for rehearsals to try and save on fingerwear. You can imagine - ouch
. Some tone he got tho' eh.
On the subject of tone, your Korg Pandora/Guitar sounds are excellent man - I reckon I'll pick one up someday on the strength of hearing it on your lessons alone.
I like Korg stuff - pretty experimental I think. I have an old ('84) Korg DW8000 keyboard. It was the first keyboard to use digital soundbytes and analogue effects. It's got some really cool sounds.
I also have an old Korg Tape Delay which was pretty good, but it's been out of action for ages now. Can't get parts and all that. But I hope to fix it someday - maybe get another busted one and get the parts off it or something. It gave a subtle to huge delay sound, if a bit huge to carry too! You wouldn't fit it in your pocket that's for sure.
But I had never considered the Pandora or heard loads of reports about it. Maybe 'cos I was in Switzerland and the news doesn't travel so fast
.
Anyways, I'm always in the lookout for something as classy as this. Ah roll on Christmas or something hee-hee.
Thanks for the pointer M8 and keep up the great work!
Dave
Muris Varajic15th October 2007Hey Dave ![]()
Yeah,Korg has some very interesting units on market,
Pandora PX4D is surely one of them.
I wrote review yesterday,check it out. ![]()
And thanks for your kind words!! ![]()
David OToole15th October 2007Just read that review Muris, it's a good one by all accounts - I didn't think the price would be that good, even better! Good tip on that stereo cable. Cheerz M
cesarven21st October 2007Hello Muris, you write from Venezuela, this is my first lesson complete, we welcome is excellent, I want to practice a little Jimi Hendrix, believes that you can upload something from this?
Muris Varajic21st October 2007Hi to Venezuela. ![]()
Glad you like the lesson and will do some Hendrix ![]()
seagull30th October 2007Really REALLY like this lesson. So well put together, backingtrack and all. Especially your playing sound as if straight from SRV's hands.
The trill-part and the quick slide to the e note on the g-string and then back again was just excellent!
How many years you been playing? even though it's the hours that count, but they're pretty much impossible to keep track of.
Big applause!
Muris Varajic31st October 2007Appreciate it,thanks !! ![]()
Have been playing for around 13-14 years but you said it well,
it's more about hours indeed...
seagull2nd November 2007Oh, phew, that comforts me
I've only been playing for 2-3 years but rather intensely, so I guess I'll reach your level of skill in a decade or so. ![]()
Muris Varajic2nd November 2007Give it a try ![]()
Slick2nd November 2007Hi Muris,
Great tune, just like SRV
QUESTION: How do you get the SRV sound? what distortion sound pedal is used?
Thanks!!!
Muris Varajic2nd November 2007Thanks ![]()
Take a better look at previous replies,it's all there. ![]()
NightFlight6th November 2007Just got a brand new American Deluxe Strat two days ago. I doubt there is a more fitting workout for my new addition than this lesson. Fine job Muris, as always.
Muris Varajic6th November 2007Congrats on your new axe!!
It'll probably fit nice with this lesson tho ![]()
seagull9th November 2007Hey Muris.
Could you possibly upload the backingtrack as a mp3 so I can record it with my playing in Audacity?
Otherwise the recording gets crappy sound :s
Muris Varajic10th November 2007Sorry,I don't have it on my HD anymore..
The only version of BT is here at GMC
and you'd have to ask Kris for further details.
shammy23rd November 2007Great SRV sounding ditty Muris!!!, One problem that I am having that maybe you can help me understand. It sounds like you are playing more than just one note on the beginning intro after the chord. Is that the raking technique you are referring to. I know it's my right hand that is screwing me up, guess I will just shut up and Plsy!!!, Again nice work.
Muris Varajic23rd November 2007Yeah,that's the raking ![]()
I "play" just one note but actually I'm hitting 2,3 or even more strings together.
You must have really good and smooth left hand muting to get it properly.
Practice solves everything,just like always. ![]()
shammy23rd November 2007Thx for the reply Muris, yeah this is tough for me to nail it just right, love it though.
bricktop25th November 2007Are you hitting all those single riff notes on the downstoke? I understand using alternate picking/strumming, but can't tell if it's just a sytlistic approach your using on this piece? Thanks a lot!
John
Ivan Milenkovic25th November 2007Very very nice in the style of lesson. Me being a huge fan of SRV really adds to the feeling. Great work ![]()
shammy26th November 2007This peice is killing me, timing has to be just right or it sounds like sh*t when I play it. Though I am making progress, lol.
Muris Varajic8th December 2007Yeah,timing must me tight as you said.
Let me know if you need any help here tho!! ![]()
shammy8th December 2007i'm really starting to get this, I need to learn how I can get my sound into my p.c. so you can hear my progress. O how I love this peice.
Muris Varajic9th December 2007Check out recording board at forum,many useful things are there ![]()
mattacuk16th December 2007hey Muris, even though im busy practicing all your other lessons, I cant help but keep watching this video... its that good !!! =)
Muris Varajic16th December 2007No harm of watching it if you like it,thanks Matt!! ![]()
frans25th December 2007very good stuff Muris I wil try to play it -) frans
Muris Varajic25th December 2007Great,let me know how it's going! ![]()
shellshock191129th December 2007Awesome lesson, kinda sounds like Cold Shot.
Christian of Portland12th January 2008Hi Muris, I am new to the courses, and I was wondering if you could tell me is it simply practice to memorize the different blues scales, or is there another tip you could give me. There are three on the SRV Class from last year. So many notes. I love SRV and you would make him very proud. Christian
Muris Varajic12th January 2008There is actually only ONE scaled called "blues" scale,
it's minor pentatonic with added note between 4th and 5th.
Play it a while and you'll easy memorize it. ![]()
Nick Kellie13th March 2008very nice lesson muris
Carlos Carrillo31st March 2008very good lesson!!!

Yakadee18th January 2009Nice lesson.

Muris Varajic18th January 2009Spot on, it's a mistake in tab, will be fixed asap,
thanks for input and welcome to GMC. ![]()
BedroomBozo1st February 2009Amazing as always. I've always wanted to get that nice SRV grit going, I just need to get the raking down without my notes sounding weak....
Buddha Long16th July 2009Dude you blues-ROCK! Great licks and phrasing - lots of fun.
