Tabbed By: Thomas Lasswell Rutherford I

Artist: Stevie Ray Vaughan and Double Trouble
Song Name: Rude Mood
Album: Texas Flood
Track #: 6

Song Structure:
The song starts out with the main riff introduced by the guitar; the bass notes are
quickly with muted notes in between, resulting in a swung, "rude" feel. The bass guitar and
are introduced after the introduction, establishing the beat that continues to the end. 
song can be broken up into many sections, separated by each 12-bar blues progression,
most sections ending in the same fashion as the beginning riff. Stevie Ray Vaughan's 
sense of timing and precision in his technique allows him to drive seemingly effortlessly 
his solo.
