Dan Holton

A versatile Texas bluesman

We start with a high-energy Texas-style solo in the key of E blues, emphasizing speed, Texas licks, and soloing rhythm. We also study Stevie Ray Vaughan's powerful rhythm playing, breaking it down gradually to capture his distinctive tone. The final section challenges you with an SRV-inspired solo over a slow 12-bar blues, showcasing his dynamic style.
