Pride And Joy - Main Solo

Pride And Joy is a blues rock track by Stevie Ray Vaughan, one of the defining songs in his catalog with the band Double Trouble. The main solo showcases his signature Texas blues style, combining fluid bends, double stops, and rhythmic intensity. For electric guitar players, learning this solo is an essential study in expressive phrasing, vibrato control, and the raw feel that made Vaughan widely regarded as one of the greatest guitarists of all time.

  • The solo uses pentatonic blues phrasing with heavy string bends, a core technique in Stevie Ray Vaughan's Texas blues style.
  • Vaughan typically tuned his guitar a half step down to Eb, which affects tone and string tension when playing this solo.
  • Pride And Joy was one of Stevie Ray Vaughan's most recognized singles, appearing on his debut studio album with Double Trouble.

SRV's heavily worn '63 'Number One' with thick .013-.058 strings and responsive single-coils defined his expressive, dynamic tone. The guitar's worn frets and responsive pickups let him control saturation purely through picking attack and volume knob, a cornerstone of his finger-driven style.

SRV used the TS9 as a clean boost with minimal drive, maxing the level to push his cranked tube amps into heavier saturation while adding midrange focus. This approach preserved his dynamic control and kept the tone transparent, letting his fingers shape every nuance of sustain and breakup.
