Satisfy Suzie SRV Lick

In this lesson I highlight a lick from the song "Satisfy Suzie" from the "Strike Like Lightning" album that Stevie played on with Lonnie Mack. This lick is a good one to study because it shows how he modified a typical swing style lick in Box 1 to fit a different time signature. Gear details below the video.

Gear

Guitar

For this lesson I was using my Stauffer Guitars "Legend" model.  Basswood/Zebrawood body, Warmoth Pro '59 Roundback profile neck with ebony fretboard, jumbo stainless steel frets, Hipshot bridge, Graphtech saddles, Lollar '59 Blonde Pickups.  There's a demo of this guitar here.

Amp

I was playing through a Fender Blues Junior Tweed NOS edition amp, which has the Jensen C12N speaker.  I use this in most of my lessons because I can get pretty decent tone at reasonable volumes, something that is essential when recording these lessons, so as not to overpower the camcorder microphone.

Settings

Volume: 7.5, Bass: 12, Treble: 12, Mids: 12, Master: 5, Reverb: 2, Fat: On
