Your videos are not only entertaining, but the clarity,view of your hands playing,and sound make it all so helpful for us intermediate guitarist to watch and learn from. Sweet.
Man this is so good I learned the whole solo except for the part between 3:21-3:27 that part still has me messed up but awesome job man...thank you sincerely
Cool lesson! I made a jam track for this if you guys want something to practice this to: Soulshine - Slow Allman Brothers Style Southern Rock / Blues Backing Track in Bb
hay man can you please tell me how you get that really amazing neck pickup sound like the one in the vid, do you think i would be able to get close with Burstbucker pros?
Hey Szandor, I'm glad you learned something from my video. I went ahead and tabbed that part you had trouble with. I hope the tab is clear (there are some tricky parts that were hard to transcribe). You can find the link in the description box of this video. Good luck!
O'k, the guitar is beautiful,your playing is spot on,and great tone,but that's not amazes me most-it's the fact that you posted this in the month of Feburary and your wearing shorts! It's only Oct. and it is 20 degrees outside this morning-I'm jealous.Have fun in the sun bro-great playin'.
@Squweesh Hey. I slide up to the 12th fret, 3rd string, and then pluck the 2nd string, 11th fret two times, and then bend the 2nd string, 13th fret up a whole step and quickly do the same bend again with vibrato. Hope that helped. =)
The solos alternate between B major pentatonic and B minor pentatonic (so basically 3rd and 15th position is the major stuff, and 6th position is the minor stuff). That's probably an oversimplification, but accurate enough I think. Glad you liked the video.
You did a great job here tehorix! This is the version that is tabbed in the Warren Haynes book. The original is on one of the Allman Bros CDs from the early 90s-great period for that band-and has a killer dual guitar solo with Dickey Betts. The Mule is great-I've had Mulennium in non-stop rotation on my CD player for months now. Little Milton and Warren had great chemistry together, and the same thick Gibson tone. My favorite Warren solo is from Blue Sky on An Evening With by the ABB.
Wow, thanks for bring that to my attention, lefty. I'll have to look into it. The RU-vidr, PDXguitarlegend has a very professional sounding, "legalese" disclaimer on his vids that I might have to borrow.
Hey Big, Sorry I never responded to your post. I use the Fender Blues Junior for practices, and it works well. I just heard of the Blackheart amp (by Crate). It is reasonably priced and has some sweet tone.
I've got an important message for all youtubers. Recently 2 of my favorites had to drop videos that had the song on in the background, like your song here,because of violating copy right laws or something to that effect. I've been warned that youtube is going to crack down on all copy right violation by having the video permantly removed.I use youtube as a learning tool first and formost ,so to loose great videos such as yours would be an absolute shame and loss.
@p484znf Hey, wow, thanks. I checked out "Into the Arena." It's got a nice driving riff, and his band is definitely tight. I'm actually not playing guitar at the moment (suddenly had some carpal tunnel like symptoms pop up, and I'm resting my wrists....probably shouldn't even be typing this, lol). Anyway, thanks for the recommendation, and I'm glad you enjoyed my videos.
I might be able to get around to a full tab eventually, but here is the chord progression: Bb, F, Eb, Bb (x3) | Bb, F, Gm, G# (before chorus) | Chorus: same as verse | Break: F (quickly) to Gm, Eb, Eb, Bb, Dm, Eb, G#, F | back to chorus.
As far as tone, in general, goes......I've just recently discovered that if your amp settings are too bassy, you don't have many options with your sound. On the other hand, if you leave enough treble and clarity in the amp, then you can just vary your tone with the volume and/or tone knobs of the guitar (just lowering the volume with #1 make the sound cleaner and #2 will warm the tone a bit; lowering the tone knob will give you any needed bass). And I def think the BB Pros could get u that.
Hey there. The song is actually tabbed just about perfectly IMO in the Best of Warren Haynes book. I hope to maybe do a tutorial on this song eventually, but in the meantime that book should help (plus it's got a bunch of other Mule tunes).
I get that smooth overdrive tone out of BB pro's. I did see a moderate improvement when I added mojotone vitamin t caps, but BB pro's the bb pro's sounded good out of the box. GL
@jakersskates22 To be honest, I'm probably not going to make a "how to" video (at least any time soon), but this song is professionally tabbed out in the Best of Warren Haynes book. I'd check that out.
In ur other comments from other people...they said that they learned this song from your tabbs... What tabbs are they referring too? I also am 17 years old tryin to get better at guitar lol...thanks a lot
lol! Well, if you insist.... =) Actually, even though I learned most of the song by ear, I just checked my Best of Warren Haynes book, and it's tabbed there how I play it. I do disagree with some of the other transcriptions, but it's still a useful book. Good luck!
You sure you aren't 26? ;-) Anyway, I've tabbed some stuff out (parts of songs) and put the links in the description boxes my videos. For this song, so far I've only tabbed out one riff. Hopefully more tabs to come.
Haha, well I was actually in Gainesville, FL then, and honestly it was pretty cold. Back in South Florida now......I'll take 95 degrees over 50 degrees any day (let alone 20!!).
@hdknckr Some of my videos have links to tabs (that I made) in the description. This song is actually tabbed out just about perfectly in a book called Best of Warren Haynes.
Hey buddy, I've seen all your vids and totally agree with Duke4Reuti, you are a truly gifted guy. Don't now what your trying to nail at the moment but take a look at a great instrumental called "Into the Arena" by Michael Schenker Group. Keep it up.......
Hey man. All the Gov't Mule tracks (including this one) are the actual mp3s. But in my other vids, I got the backing tracks from guitarbtDOTcom (they're free). I also just found a site called LickLibraryDOTcom, but you gotta pay there. Nice new vid BTW.
yhea i found that if i use the neck pickup with a my modified tube screamer i can get a really nice smooth sound nonthing like warrens but preety dam close
Hi there I`ve leared to play the song after your vid but I realy can`t find out what you're playing between 3:20 to 3:27 - I tryed to find out for over 2 h The rest of the song i've had no problems - it is this 7 seconds If you can post the tabs for just this few seconds i'll appreciative it very very much. May you can post the tabs on MULEARMY - I think it`s better than post them in here -(and more easy) Thanx tehorix789
Here's what you can do. One of my buddys told me to download realone's latest free version,and now when I view a video like this a "download" apperas at the top of the video and I just download it to realone. I've got a lot of great video's I want to learn from,so that's what I'll be doing the next couple of days starting with tehorix789's videos. Hope this helps someone as it did me.
I think this technically is an ABB song, Warren wrote and recorded it on an Allman record in the early 90's, right around the same time he was just forming Mule.
@tehorix789 Hi man!!!!!!!!! very good job, I'll use your lesson to learn this solo!!! I think that the voice/guitar you hear on the cd is Larry McCray, on you tube I think you can find something about him. You're a talented guitarist, keep on rockin'! bye
Glad you got something out of the video. I had very much the same reaction as you when I first got into the Mule and Warren's playing. I either realized I wouldn't ever be able to shred or that I wouldn't ever be able to devote the practice time to find out if I could. And then, on top of it all, there's just so much expression in blues/rock/jazz playing. BUT, as far as shredding goes, my favorite player right now is Phil X. Very aggressive and intense! Check him out: /watch?v=48MU0_jYKtY
