After Many Years... Life By The Drop - Stevie Ray Vaughan
Posted: Mon Aug 30, 2021 10:37 pm
Hey Folks,
After avoiding this for 10 years (or forgetting about it...) thanks to a recent request here we have Stevie Ray Vaughan's Life By The Drop, along with a lot of other important info.
Life By The Drop was the last track on Stevie Ray Vaughan's last release, The Sky Is Crying, which was a collection of miscellaneous recordings from many years. The song was written by his friend Doyle Bramhall, and mostly refers to their careers.
The song has a classic SRV lick as an intro, which then settles into a shuffle rhythm, used commonly in twelve-bar blues progressions. This lesson covers the rhythm parts, the progression, twelve-bar blues (which this isn't), a couple other licks and variations Stevie uses in the song, as well as a detailed breakdown of the intro.
