SRV mary had a little lamb cover by me!

Banana · 01-20-2011, 11:24 AM

Hi guys. So I'm staying at home today, because I'm a bit sick and don't have what to do, so I recorded how i play Mary had a little lamb by Stevie Ray Vaughan. Also, i would like you guys to criticise me about my playing and tell me what I am doing wrong, so I could improve! The backing track messes up in the intro for a second, but that's the only one I could find in standard tuning. Also, sorry for the dead note in the end of the solo.
Here it is:

It sounded pretty spot on. You might want to slide into your leads occasionally. What's the set up that you are playing through?

Hey Chris. Great you're playing SRV at your age. I've always said influence is everything. Anyways, the problems I heard are you are not doing SRVs signature micro bends. When you hit the g note on the e string, 3rd fret in the beginning fills, try bending that 1/4 step up or so. That would get you more spot on to SRVs style.
