Pride and Joy

by SRV off Texas Flood

You had better clean the rust off your fingers to learn this tune inside

and out. And remember Stevie always tuned down a half step. He also

played on 11 and 12 gauge strings.

I find it easiest to play these lower bass notes by forming the chord and

then using your pinky to finger the notes, I am not sure exactly how SRV

did it!

I would suggest to any serious guitar player interested in SRV to learn these

solos if you want to really get into SRV's style.

Here is the short out solo.

Subject: SRV: Pride and Joy

I promised to post a final version. Here is what I consider correct;

however, a few mails have suggested that 3rd verse 1st line is about

his wife, and could therefore be:

"Yeah I love my Lenny, she's long and lean".

Well, you can decide for youself. Thank you to all who answered.

A tab version (including only 1st verse) not made by me can be found

on ftp.nevada.edu OR MIRRORS! The mirrors are in fact faster (for me,

anyway). I have put up a few links on my www-blues page, including the

nevada mirrors: http://www.iesd.auc.dk/~lohmann/blues.html

Have fun now, and here it goes: (sing along, all)

"Pride and Joy" Stevie Ray Vaughan

intro

Well you've heard about love givin' sight to the blind

My baby's lovin' cause the sun to shine
