Slowing down songs is another great way to learn from records and your song collection. I use Song Surgeon, which works really well for this. Check it out.

Guitar Lesson Overview

Here is a shuffle blues in the key of E. The video shows a few different way to play the same thing - with string muting and with a raking approach so it sounds more like the Texas Shuffle SRV often did. This type of groove is great for practicing blues licks to. I will present some ideas in future video lessons.

Raking shuffle blues doesn't either.
Looks like you need to go through your site and clean out these dead links. I was thinking about donation
but not sure how many of these links are working and how old this site is.
I just came across this looking at SRV guitars.

Very nice Robert. I think this shuffle in E will be perfect for "I Hear You Knockin'" by Fats Domino, later recorded by Dave Edmunds. Though I am not sure what key he recorded it in.
