SIMPLE and ESSENTIAL Scale to MASTER Country Rock Guitar 

Awesome, thank you!

Cheers!

Thanks!

Wow, thanks so much!

100%, well said!

Anyone who tells you that you don't need to know any theory, is just trying to justify their decision to not bother. You can certainly get by without knowing any theory, but if you want to improve and sound professional, it's vital. ✌️🇦🇺

Awesome! A little theory goes a long way.

Onya Knackers!

Thanks Mike!

Glad you enjoyed it

Wow! Thank you so much!

Thank you so much!

Thank you so much!

Glad you enjoyed it!

Why? Seems nonsensical to call it that. Please enlighten us.

@@MarkZabel at one time in the past Australia was ravaged by a rabbit disease called Mixo. I suppose its a bit of a meme with Aussie guitarists 😁

@@wizrom3046 Got it, thanks!

As an American fan of Radiohead, I still remember the shock I had the first time I searched for “Myxomatosis” on the internet!

You bet!

Cool, thanks!

Thank you!

You're very welcome. Thanks for watching and for the kind comment!

My pleasure. Thanks for watching!

Glad you enjoyed it!

Yes, Jerry was a key guy in the movement and used these ideas a lot. He's well known for using Mixolydian mode. Such a great sense of melody with him.

@@MarkZabel There's an interesting example that might make a great video - comparing Dickie and Jerry. I was learning the Dead's version of Going Down the Road Feeling Bad. Practicing, somehow I ended up in Ramblin Man. The Dead and the Allman Brothers played lots of shows together. And they loved each other's music. But I heard Betts said that he stopped listening to the Dead because he thought he'd end up too much like Garcia. I'd be happy with either, but the differences can be very subtle and I certainly didn't hear it before I began to learn some theory and got better. If you can explain it I'd love to know why. Thanks. Great video at just the right time.

You bet! Thanks for watching!

Thanks!

Thanks! Yeah, I think they probably weren't good for each others' health. Kind of like Lennon and Harry Nilsson. But also, yes, Gram definitely influenced Keith musically, as he influenced many rockers in that way. I read somebody who described Gram's mission as "mixing rock and country, hoping to entertain people who liked one but were suspicious of the other." I love that description!

@@MarkZabel How wonderful is that! Good music is good music, so in the end I would have to say, mission accomplished Mr. Parsons! Thanks again Mark 👍🎸🇨🇦

Except it's better to think of the major pentatonic box as being over the G shape, as I show in the video. Think "G" instead of "A" and it's much more intuitive.

Yes but it's easier to what I know is the A shape of a chord on the neck than the G.

Thanks brother!

Glad you enjoyed it!

Thank you Kris. Glad you enjoyed it!

Exactly. That's why I simply call Gram "the father of country rock" and get right to guitar. Very few people know of him, how influential or how damn good he was. (E.g., $1,000 Wedding, Brass Buttons, Streets of Baltimore, etc.). But Keith knew. There are very few weeks that go by that I don't listen to a cut or two from GP or Grievous Angel or Sweetheart of the Rodeo.

Thank you!

You bet.

Thanks!

Hey Pete. I mean this in all honesty - the best pedal for the Allman Brothers sound is to use no pedal. Try to get the sound with the guitar right into the amp. Duane tended to use amps with less headroom than Dickey, so his sound was a bit more saturated than Dickey's. Having said that you might want to have their lead tone at lower volumes. For that, the best thing would be an attenuator. However, you can also use a compression pedal. Be very, very careful with using too much compression though - it's a mistake I've made often and still do at times. Sorry, I don't know of any harmonizer pedals. I've only used my Zoom multi-pedal to do it once in a while. Works okay for me. The Boss Harmonist is probably fine.

Compression is a game changer. It adds clean not just overdriven sustain. In fact my Wampler has a sustain knob and it is phenomenal for getting the tone and hold that builds confidence and touch feedback with your tube amp. For years I had no idea what it did. Now in my sets from David Gilmore to Dickey Betts it's an always on effect for the most part but, you have to use it sparingly. Pete Thorn pedal extraordinare probably describes how it works the best.

@@scottkingsley8037 what compression pedal do you use.

@@PeteChurch-tz7bk Wampler Ego Compressor. 5 knobs- sustain, tone, attack, volume and blend. And they do exactly what they say. The blend knob is key too because it allows you to mix the compressed and direct signal to taste. So as Mark says not overdoing it. When you get it right it sounds natural not artificially "squishy" but, it cleans up your sound from bad overtones. I picked this one because I find it easy and absolutely quiet. But, there lots out there. Some swear by Boss but, I'm not a big Boss fan. My 2 cents. Have fun!

Thanks! I don't think it would work as well for bass, but I don't really know for sure.

Thanks! Yes, it's a FDR Tonemaster. It's not *EXACTLY* the same, but it's darn close and I'll not be going back to valve. Way lighter, much more convenient to record and/or go to mixer with, and I can play any venue easily with the attenuator - including my office! My back is like yours, so it's a godsend!

Thanks!

Not exactly how it works, but give it a whirl. Don't use the "Super pentatonic" to start. Use the major pentatonic to start. Boring, but necessary to master simple things first.

Yes, I've lost a bit recently.

Why thank you😂
