Heya!

Here's a classic and powerful SRV lick built with the A minor pentatonic scale.

Sound

You could use the bridge or middle & bridge pickup with an overdrive pedal. I use the Fulltone OCD pedal and the clean channel of the Mesa Boogie V-Twin preamp with some reverb added in pro tools.

Theory

Nothing complicated here, just the familiar pentatonic scale. Pay attention to the bends and the wide left hand vibrato!
