Thank you. I’m 64 years old and still a garage musician. I wish I could’ve met you when I was younger but I keep trying.

@jonvig4771 11 месяцев назад

Mark, no words. I'm a failed guitar player of 30 something years, and life didn't allow me to reach playing abilities I should have. Billy has been my #1 for 46 years now. Never once would I have ever considered thinking to have done this. Just WOW 😮.

@MarkZabel 11 месяцев назад

Cool!

@iancox4450 Год назад

After 30 years of playing guitar it's rare to find eureka moments like this! OMG I've been playing this riff for years and it never sounded right. Just played it and hurrah, instant Billy! Bravo sir. 🙌👏🙌

@MarkZabel Год назад

Glad to help!

@littlegoobie Год назад

that was me with Whole Lotta Love using the microbend to get the dissonance instead of sliding that everyone does.

Awesome. Love Billy Gibbons, one of the true masters of blues rock.

@GTRxMan Год назад

I've used this tuning for years. It's perfect for playing rhythm and lead on open G songs (think Rolling Stones) as it allows you to get the open G sound without affecting fingerings of scale patterns/licks.

@MarkZabel Год назад

Exactly. And it takes 5 seconds to tune it, so you don't need to grab another guitar or hold up the band while you re-tune.

@lilmoe4364 Год назад

Dropping that A to a G opens up new worlds 👍

@MarkZabel Год назад

@Gerald Dixon Cummings Yes, that's exactly it!!

@terrypussypower Год назад

That’s what used to my head in in the 70’s when trying to work out those licks from the record! At times it was almost enough to make me give up! Thank gawd punk came along when it did or I’d have jacked the guitar in! That just gave me enough time to work out all those easy tunes, and pick up the little tricks those other guys we’re doing!

@davidlane180 Год назад

Agree. 'Start Me Up' (Stones) works with this 1 string tweak.

@sholland42 Год назад

Been playing for 47 years. Never seen that tuning. Can’t wait to check it out. Cheers!

@CaptainRon801 Месяц назад

Since you like the drop "D" tuning with classic rock, try Neil Young's "Ohio" with it and enjoy the goodness even more my friend. BTW, Mark has some great tricks on other videos, please check him out.

@doublelifegroup Год назад

I stumbled on this video by chance and I'm so happy - I've been (on/off) struggling with this song as well but never sat down to analyze it like you did. Thanks so much! Will get my buddies to check it out!

@latfat Год назад

Wonderful! Really appreciate this lightbulb moment. Have loved Billy for his ability to make complicated stuff sound simple but this was a revelation. Great video!

Thanks! He sure did have the knack for doing that - making complex things simple.

@steveg.3022 Год назад

Love that song, too! Great explanation. Thanks.

@rturney Год назад

I've struggled with the same things on this song that you described. This is great! Thanks so much Mark!

@MarkZabel Год назад

When it dawned on me, it all fell into place. For the key of G it's great!

@jb-vb8un Год назад

in Hawaii, the gang refer to it as the " slack " tuning

@Joel_Powell Год назад

Awesome - that makes total sense! I saw Billy live this year and sat in the third row directly in front of him. I was wondering how he could take his hand off the guitar and still hear a low G ringing! I thought he was just playing strings 2-3-4 open, but now I know the trick. Awesome!

@richardfeynman8843 Год назад

I discovered this when I decided that I wanted to learn acoustics “Rocky Mountain High” and “Poems, Prayers, and Promises” by John Denver. When I watched some videos of him playing them, it was obvious that he had done the same thing on both songs, just tuning the low E down to a D. Everything went from impossible to totally simple for both songs. Works the same on this one, too.

@thomashughes1738 Год назад

I never ever ever think of different tunings! Awesome. Thank you!

@MarkZabel Год назад

My pleasure. I'm usually the same!

@tallpaul1020 Год назад

Very cool trick on a very cool song. Never heard of it. I'm familiar with open tunings but this is a super trick. Great video as usual. Thx Mark, keep up the great work 👍🎸

@MarkZabel Год назад

Yes, it's amazingly easy, and it works. When I'm playing live and I don't want to tune to Open G or grab another guitar ... and I've got to solo ... it totally works.

@ST-xg3gy Год назад

Wow! That makes such a huge difference. Never even seen that done before. Cool!

@MarkZabel Год назад

Isn't it easy and so cool? Makes everything fall into place for the key of G.

Great discovery. These things were harder to find out in the days of LPs and no internet. But I've learned that if a part is difficult, chances are almost guaranteed there's an easier way than I learned it.

@MarkZabel Год назад

Good point!

@davidlane180 Год назад

Thank you for that tip Mark, certainly opens up a whole new catalogue of options. For years I had been attempting to cover Johnny Winter’s ‘Mean Town Blues’ that he played at Woodstock 69. To achieve any likeness the fingering was awkward and I was never happy with the result. After watching your video I couldn’t get the drop A to a G ‘trick’ out of my mind and was replaying it in my head when I drifted into the number above. The ‘trick’ fixed the fingering of the Johnny Winter number.

@MarkZabel Год назад

That's awesome! Glad it helped David.

Great stuff Mark.I was also blown away when I heard Brothers and Sisters back in my student days in Cardiff University in Wales.The Brothers only came to the UK on two occasions and I saw them both times;the last time was 1991 with Warren.They were incredible on both occasions.It is a shame that a lot of people this side of the pond do not know much about them.I preferred Dickey's style to Duane's (just my preference) and Dickey is one of my major influences as a guitar player.keep up the good work.

@TheRealDrJoey Год назад

In the 70s I was in a bar band that just played Chuck Berry and Stones. There were a number of Stones tunes, notably Brown Sugar among them, that I could never get to sound quite right to my ears. When I found out Keef tunes in G a lot it was like the veil lifted. For awhile I even had a 2nd guitar, tuned to G, with no 6th string. If you figured this out yourself, your pretty smart, dude.

@jonginder5494 Год назад

Tres Hombres I think was a huge influence on AC/DC. Ride On is based on this chord pattern, and the title “Ride On” comes from the outro lyrics of waitin for the bus. Makes me think that Ride On was born from a jam on those songs. AC/DC song Decible is basically the waiting for the bus riff. For mine Angus Young and Billy have the tastiest touch of all hard rock guitarists.
