"Rude Mood" is a take on a Lightnin' Hopkins song called "Hopkins' Sky Hop".[2] Vaughan's recorded live performances of the song include Live at Carnegie Hall and the DVD Live at Montreux 1982. He occasionally played the song on acoustic guitar instead of his characteristic Stratocaster, sometimes taking it faster or slower than the studio version.
The song starts out with the main riff introduced by the guitar; the bass notes are played quickly with muted notes in between, resulting in a swung feel. The bass guitar and drums are introduced after the introduction, establishing the beat that continues to the end.
