Free Lesson Friday The Hideaway Rhythm I Can’t Play

May 20th, 2022

SRV's cover of Hideaway (added to the "Couldn't Stand The Weather" album for the 1999 reissue) is one of my favorite songs to play along with. That is, until he changes up the rhythm at 2:14. The following chorus I simply cannot play, at least not well, and definitely not reliably. But I'm teaching it to you anyway because it makes an excellent picking drill, aside from being a cool rhythm to have in your toolbox.

Key:D♯
Tuning:EFlat
Difficulties: Advanced Intermediate
Artist: Freddie King SRV
Songs: Hideaway
