Like you, Mr. Zabel, I have to deal with hand and finger pain. Was just trying this on guitar, grateful I didn't have to use thumb wrapping technique. Play a while, rub out the numbness, get back on the horse. With your help, it's coming back to me, playing these chord fragments, dropping from rythym to lead and back, working around the nearby inversions to find exciting new things to say - and the way to say them. Thank you so much from this old guy! 🎸
Thank you for this lesson. I want to become a better rhythm player and lessons like this help. There is a lot for me to work on because I don't have much strength or dexterity in my left hand.
ive played guitar, and bass since 1963 and imust say you have a good channel and i did subscribe because its fun to see how others do things. 👍 And by the way, i use that first pattern my own aelf as does John Fogerty.
Oh yes. That thumb wrap takes a while to get down. I don't have large hands either, so it took me quite a long time. Still can't do it like Hendrix or Townshend.
This is great. In my ear, your 1st example goes I-V-I. So the second little motif (in my mind) is naturally a piece of what i think you call the "C / second shape" resolving back to a piece of the "E / third shape". Not criticizing or disagreeing, this is just how i think of this and Hendrix and Jon Butcher type stuff. FWIW, i also think of what everyone calls the "E shape" as the "F shape" for like a gazillion reasons. Again, this is great! Thank you!
Mark Good Video . One thing though is your Fret Box Pics are confusing. It actually looks like looking into the mirror at a Guitar Book . It should read opposite if you want to keep this simple . 12 th Fret shiould be to the right as we are all seeing it as we are playing it not the way its displayed ( No disrespect to lefthanded players
Thanks. The idea is to match the guitar you're seeing, which many find to be less confusing. I've been finding more people like them this way. (I.e., looking toward the guitar rather than above the shoulder at it.) It's always a quandary. Just be aware I think of these things and of things that might solve or help solve them.
Agree with patrickfrancis7547. Please consider orientating the tab so it looks like I'm holding the guitar and looking down at the fret board. |-------------------------------------------------------------------------| |-------------------------------------------------------------------------| |----------------12--12\---------------------------------------------| |----5--5------12--12\----------------3~------------3~--------| |----5--5------10--10\------3-4-5------5-3-4-5------5------| |----3--3---------------------------------------------------------------| E|-------------------------------------------------------------------------| B|-------------------------------------------------------------------------| G|-------------5-3-------------5-3------------------------------------| D|----5--5---5-3-----5--5--5-3-----------3-------5--3----3----| A|----5--5-------------5--5---------3-4-5--------5-------5-------| E|----3--3-------------3--3-------------------------------------------|
Looks upside-down, from standard tablature. Rather confusing for learning guitar. It seems like a RU-vid thing,to reinvent the wheel, and give it a spin.
Mark, I love ur channel and you’ve taught me so much on guitar (thank you!)…but this lesson is confusing. Your first example in this exercise (3:54) you take an e shape chord structure and say you’ll use pieces of that chord…you then use notes not found in that chord. I think I understand the concept here but you don’t appear to be adhering to the principles you’re discussing. Or is it just me??
Can you please do a short on the Used to Love her second solo that slash plays? I have such a hard time getting this down. It’s a simple blues scale but I can’t get the picking pattern down.
Yeah, that's a great suggestion. It's kind of a blend of Bernie Leadon, Mick on Dead Flowers, and Slash himself. (He uses that double-picking lick in there a bit.) Great suggestion. Might even do a "long" as well as a short, because I love the whole "trace the history" sense of the solo. Thanks for the suggestion!
I personally prefer to think FDA shapes instead of ECG, and prefer the view from the player. But at least there’s no CAGED nonsense: There are after all only three inversions in Western music, if you know what that means. Believe Mr. Zabel here: your playing will blast off to the moon.😊
MARK, the spanish castles magic intro question, instead of using 1st inversion chords hendrix will use his pinky as the bass note. Look at the chord X-10-7-7-7-7-X = what chord? and also the chord 6-5-5-5-5-X = What chord?
The first chord is for a 7-string guitar. If you mean X-10-7-7-7-X, then that's an add4 type chord. You could call it Dadd11\G if you'd like. The second chord, 6-5-5-5-5-x, is type of C9. It's all stacked 3rds. 1, 3, 5, b7, 9. The b7 is in the bass. So maybe call it C9\Bb. Again, you could call it many names.
@@MarkZabel Yes thanks, that is what I meant. What I was getting at also is Hendrix was starting to use Slash Chords so when playing pentatonic scale if you listen to the bass root notes that are mostly the slash root note or other than the tonic note. When the bass player is playing other than the tonic note it will put the pentatonic scale into a pentatonic mode or pentatonic substitution. Its very common for Hendrix bass lines to be different than the riff or chord of the song.
@@MarkZabel Hendrix also used stacked 5ths chords in the wind cries mary chord. I'm not sure what other rock band uses stacked 5th chords besides Hendrix, Grunge Bands like Nirvana, Soundgarden, Tool, and Death Metal Music, Which they use Drop D
the thing that will get me to the next level, is understanding how pros barely touch the strings, in scales..where i have to press really hard on the strings
Thanks for the feedback. Do you mean the way my guitar is facing or the diagrams or both? (Because they're both the same direction.) The link I'm pointing to is visible from RU-vid and RU-vid-friendly platforms like Roku. You're likely watching from a browser on your phone ... an Chrome on Android or Safari. If you watch on the app you'll see the link.
@@MarkZabel great thanks Mark. Indeed the way the diagrams are :). I'll check your vid out from the app. I was trying to see it on re-vanced. Again, great lesson bud 👍
I don't know if there is a convention about this but to me, your chord diagrams seem backwards and upside down. My mind interprets chord diagrams as what the chords look like as I look down onto my fretboard. I have to pause the video and do 2 mental rotations to understand what you are showing. I get it though. I have to think of it like I'm sitting across from you and that's the view. I probably draw things myself the way I do because I don't sit across from myself but am looking down from above at my fretboard. Love your lessons and teaching style..
Thanks David. Yes, in this video I'm experimenting a bit with the diagrams - matching the guitar in my hands. The idea is that my hands match the diagrams so it's the same looking at either or both. I keep trying different things to see what people like.
I like it. The diagram matches what he is doing. For me, it helps me understand his point, then I can apply the concept. So (for me) it's fewer (literally zero) mental rotations or flips.
I hope everyone watching knows that all of these clowns are owned by the same people and are actually one single party who only mission is to continue to line their own pockets and to maintain a two party system complete with unlimited terms and their continued ability to keep their pockets full.
