- I saw the great Danny Gatton in a video called “Strictly Rhythm”. In lesson #1 he did this thing he called the two-note wonder. It’s an amazingly simple concept that frees up your thinking and thins the mix too! So many great things to learn from it!
Danny Gatton, The Telemaster and “The Humbler” was an absolute master of the guitar. Quite possibly the greatest ever.

Real Magic! 2notes in 2 minutes of music theory just changed Everything!!
You teach so much in 5 minutes. Never disappoint. Thanks
Thanks Garry!
And just like that I'm a white belt again. Thank you sensei
You're welcome. Thanks for your kind comment. BTW, I actually do have a Master Black Belt - but in Six Sigma, not karate ... which maybe means I can beat people in an Excel Spreadsheet fight! LOL!! Thanks again!
By your belt turning white again is the essence of Bruce Lee's "Jeet Kune Do" 🎸☮️
@@MarkZabel Thanks for the lesson. I'm a Lean Enterprise guy. Love Process Improvement. Not much Muda here. Great Cpk!!!
@@jimtessin4130 LOL! Thanks!!
Being humble and smart enough to restart learning, is a tremendous gift
Mr. Z. is a great teacher. Wonderfully clear. I messed with guitar 40 years before realizing playing a chord doesn't require using all 5 or 6 strings, just the 2- or 3-note "shell."
Thanks! Yes, I did the same ... I'm a slow learner, LOL!
Hey Mark- this is for your reference. There's another guitar player very similar to DANNY GATTON that nobody knows about. If you're looking for additional material to break down and teach... check out "STEVE TROVATO." There's a video of him playing with ALBERT LEE... and when STEVE solos, it's fairly obvious who was the runner up. JAZZ, COUNTRY, BLUE, ROCK, ETC. He doesn't really teach on Utube... just has a few videos up. Last I knee he was teaching at USC, but he could've retired. He's definitely another "HUMBLER." Helluva guy too!!
Yeah, Steve Trovato ... great player for sure. I think I've got some of his stuff playing with John Jorgenson, another fantastic player. Good to know he's a good guy as well!
Steve T. did a GREAT dvd on playing like Chuck Berry. Highly recommended...
I must check out Steve Trovato... I mean, anyone who tops Albert Lee has to be seriously good.
I discovered this a number of years ago when I began using three-note “Freddie Green” chords. Cool as hell. And with a tritone inversion, e.g., that two-note G7 is also a Db7.
Exactly so. I see the tritone as a chromatic from the iim chord rather than going to the V7 before the I. It's "just" a chromatic line. (But oh so neat sounding!)
Mark is my favourite teacher hands down
Thank you so much!!
"DANNY GATTON" - the MOZART of guitar! I have a bunch of his tutorial discs. If Ur without a tuner and need 2 tune 2 pitch, pick up a land-line phone... the dial tone is "F"- Always "F." He was on stage tuning 3 guitars simultaneously AND, pointing to all the other musicians who were out of tune, then telling them whether they were high or low and by how much. INCREDIBLE PERFECT PITCH!! Could listen to anything and immediately reproduce it, then play it better. "LES PAUL" was impressed by how GREAT he was. DANNY also built HOT RODS... engine and all- from the bottom up. Man was a GENIUS- RIP.
Talking about playing a Tele, brings back good & sad memories. In 1968, I had a 1951 Tele. That was the same year I was born, so I figured it was made for me! Wish I still had it!
Dude. You never disappoint. Thank you 🙏
Thanks so much!
This is awesome thank you! 😀
Glad you like it!
I used to play a lot with bands and solos using chord melody style. I haven’t played in years and now have guitar playing friends. They like to jam to warm up. I’d forgotten these “broken chord forms”. Like you said, it allows the other guitar players, including bass, an opening to be creative. Also horns and keyboards can be heard and allowed to open up and fill up any blank spaces. Thanks!
Sure thing. Glad you enjoyed the video.
So easy and elegant. Gatton, the one and only!
Gatton was amazing. I don't know that he was the one who first saw it, but he certainly used it to great effect!
Jimmy Page does just this in the intro and elsewhere in “Rock n Roll” up at the 12th fret on the D and G strings
I've been using this as long as I can remember. Never thought of the theory behind it or why it works.
I just bought my first guitar 2 weeks ago you are my new hero
LOL! Thanks. Rock on!!
ZZ Top stuff has lots of the "lazy" chords that sound so amazing but its very very easy to play.
I'm familiar with Danny Gatton, but never thought I could play any of his stuff. Thanks Mark.
You're welcome. Thanks for watching!
Kind of a funky jazz electric piano sound played on the guitar, very cool... Sped up it would sound like the main riff in "Jeff's Boogie" by The Yardbirds.
Always appreciate taking a pause to stand back and learn simpler tricks capable of conveying my emotions. What I love about this so much is that while it is so classicly elegant on its own, it remains a great platform to build from and make one's own. Thank you for this tip. Been playing for years but it's always nice to be humbly reminded of little nuances such as this and their roots. 🙏🎶🤘
My pleasure Will. Thanks for watching!
I learned this two note trick playing blues on mandolin years ago but never applied the concept to guitar. Now I will. Thanks!
Happy to help!
Really nicely explained. A long time ago my teacher taught me this with reference to the rhythm playing of the great Freddie Green (Count Basie's guitar player for many years). The 3 and 7 define the chord, and so this approach can be used with ANY chord in ANY song. Great in jazz standards. If there is no bassist, you can usually add rgw root or 5 in the bass easily, and it is also the basis of walking bassline guitar comping - similar to what you say about embellishing the chords, just in the bass. As soon as you know the 3 and 7 define the chord it really frees your playing.
Thanks! Well said.
Holy hell. My son bought me a guitar for Christmas last year. I'm starting to play at 60. Needless to say I know nothing of music... But tonight I'm going to become a 2 note wonder! THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU.
That is awesome!
Always thought Gatton was very under rated.
And he's super-highly rated!
Thank you for sharing! Keep spreading the blues
You bet! Thanks for watching!
Very nice! Thank you for keeping Danny Gatton in our lives.
Glad you enjoyed it. Danny was truly amazing!
Mindblowingly simple. Kudos to you Sir!
Thank you so much 😀
Mark, you look nothing like a guitar monster, but you are. Love your vibe and you're teaching this aging dog some great new tricks.. And Danny Gatton!! Just wow.
Thanks!
Love this for jamming the blues.
Great for it definitely
YES!! Danny G is one of my favorites!
Mine too!
Nice! Super simple, super useful. Thanks for giving me another tool for the guitar trick bag.
Happy to help!
I loved Danny Gatton and his fantastic playing. One of my all time favorite guitarists.
No doubt an all-time great!
Love Danny! Had the chance to catch a show and meet him. A true tele magician.
One guy to check out if you never hear of him: Scotty Anderson
Now blues makes more sense and why those weird shapes sound so cool
Great!
I was taking a class in improvisation on the guitar. I was really starting to hear my notes blend with and accent the background music. My ear was getting better and better. Then one day my teacher told me that I was ready to start making sure my improv notes included the root of each chord. I quit my lessons the next day. I felt like someone put a straight jacket on me. Thank you for this lesson. Thank you very much.
You're very welcome. Thanks for watching!
Just found this channel. Liking it a lot. So far it seems like clearly presented information with realistic perspective to make it possible to quickly put things into practice. Just enough theory to provide context without obscuring the point of the lesson.
Thank You!
Thanks so much! I work very hard to keep the lessons short and tight, and to not try to put too much into any one lesson. Don't be shy about letting me know what else you'd like to see!
How smooth and appropriate
Thx man
Sure thing brother! Thanks for watching.
The guitar is amazingly symmetrical.
Until you reach the B-string!
Great tutorial, well done. Thank you so much!
You're welcome. Thanks for watching!
Excellent discussion of blues theory illustrated brilliantly visually, verbally, and sonically.
Thanks!
Thanks Mark you are great.
You're welcome. Thanks for watching!
NICE ! Thanks Andrew
You're welcome. Thanks for listening!
Man this just blew my mind. I've been trying to teach myself some theory and basic rhythm concepts after just playing by ear for years and this is a huge help. Thanks!
Glad I could help! Thanks for watching!
Amazing... thank you so much for showing me that... I will definitely learn and keep that for future use... its so stupid easy, that even I can sound good! 🙂
Glad it was helpful!
it took me all of 3 minutes to subscribe! No flash! No drone speech about this/that or whatever! Clear Concise and down to earth! I salute you and thank you! Subscribed!!
Thanks a ton Michael!
Never disapointed man.....awesome !.
Thanks a ton!
That is really a simple 2 note to get yourself playing all over the neck. I will have to watch this again tomorrow. Thanks
You bet. Thanks for watching!
Now that's a cool trick!
Great tutorial. Many Thanks
Glad you liked it!
Thank you 😊 for your knowledge and explaining slowly for a beginner like me.
Glad you enjoyed it!
There is a video of Danny Gatton on you tube with him playing slide with an open beer bottle and then he keeps right on playing while using a towel to clean the beer off of his guitar. Some of the best and entertaining playing I have ever seen.
He was amazing.
You really make clear how these tricks hang together - learning new stuff from you and I’ve been playing for a long time 😎🎸👍
Great to hear!
Thank you for this!
My pleasure! Thanks for watching!
Ah yeah thee old Tritone! Did you ever see Danny Gatton plays slide with a full bottle of an open beer. Awesome stuff. Mr. Gatton takes a back seat to no one. 🎸☮️
Yes, one of his many tricks and amazing guitar acrobatic feats!
That charvel Tele is awesome !
I just recently got the gateway guitar of shred guitars,a Randy Rhoades Jackson V and realized real fast that shred guitars can have good comfortable necks if they added a little roundness to them but the fret board is great and turned me on to a Jackson Dinky Floyd rose tremolo guitar and it's also awesome so yeah agreed shred guitars can be awesome for everything !
I like it! I wish they didn't always look so wild though! :) This one is pretty traditional looking, so I went for it.
I'd always wondered about that. Thanks man.
You bet!
Excellent, excellent, excellent! Makes me aware of and think of the different inversions of those chords and the placement of the all the chord tones in the 7th chord, be it I, IV or V. Thanks for the enlightenment Mark!
My pleasure Doug!
love this stuff. keep learnin and keep it real. very nice!
Thanks!!
Really useful information. Thanks
Glad it was helpful!
This is really simple but clever. You can build round this in so many ways.
No doubt. What Danny G was doing was really cool. Honestly, I think that's such a key insight into how the greats play - they keep it simple, but know it like the back of their hands. Thanks for watching!
In the summer of 2019 I had a lesson with Will Ray and one of the things he showed me was this exact lick, and I've been using it ever since! Great lesson Mark!
Thanks so much!!
Top lesson! Thanks for sharing!!!
Glad you liked it!
Man that's freaking cool thanks for the video!
Glad you liked it!
Beautifully Explained!
Glad it was helpful. Thanks for watching!
I found that out myself and use it all the time in some variations. :) Feeling good.
Awesome!
I love this thank you and being able to learn this great trick I’m 6 and a half minutes was a amazing
You're so welcome!
Wow! Gatton was great! Thanks for pointing him out! :)
My pleasure. He was truly amazing!
Wonderful !! Thank you so much !!!
My pleasure. Thanks for watching!
Great explanation and formatted for beginner to skilled player !
Glad it was helpful!
Great tutorial, that is so useful to know, thanks.
Glad it was helpful!
Wow. I've watched countless theory "explanations" on YT but this is the first one where I light bulb went on for me. Music is so much like learning a foreign language where fluency means more than knowing unconnected phrases, it's knowing how/why a phrase is constructed. I love the 2-note method, and now can see how learning triads can take me to a different level as well.
Glad you enjoyed the video! I do a lot of work with triads and "partial chords" on my channel, along with lots of other things. I didn't go to music school, so my "models" are often a bit different from others. Thanks for checking out my video and for the kind comment!
Greatest musician ever born.
That is really cool, Thanks Mark.
Glad you liked it!
Amazing. Thank you.
Glad you liked it!
I got the same thing years ago from Rock and Roll by Led Zep. It blew my mind because it looks so wrong that it should work. It blew my mind even more when I took the time to work out why it worked! Nice one.
Thanks man! Yep, Rock and Roll by Zep uses this - exactly!
Nice, real nice !
Thank you! Cheers!
Great lesson! Thanks for sharing.
My pleasure! Glad you enjoyed it!
I learned that "two note wonder" from watching Angus Young. I use it all the time in blues progressions, especially a little half step slide up.
Great! Amazing how easy it makes jazz blues.
Thanks man!!! now to practice and not confusion. Danny WAS & Still is the best. saw him from his time with Liz Myers on., We always talked cars he dug his classic ford almost as much as his tele
Glad you enjoyed it. Danny was the best!
This channel imparts some of the best musical knowledge
Thanks Paul!!
SO NICE!
Thank you! Cheers!
great lesson
clear, concise, and uncluttered
good work \m/
Thank you so much!!
Mark this is deffinetly up my allie .. iv played pices like this be for like 50 yr's ago but some how forgot that .... thank you so much
My pleasure. Thanks for watching!
Wow thanks for recommending Danny , what a player.
Subbed.
Thanks for the sub!
Thank you for sharing this! (It also works great as a Chromatic 3-6-2-5-1 , where G (1) is on the 3rd fret, up to B on the 7th fret (3) down one fret E (6), down one more A (2), down one more, D(5), down one more G (1)...)
Yes, exactly - typical jazz blues turnaround sort of thing. And works with the tritone sub versions too. I didn't want to complicate this video with that, so I kept it short and just mentioned it near the end. Thanks for pointing it out!
@@MarkZabel Thank you! I like your teaching style.
now that is slick thanks look 4ward to seeing more of your videos....
Thanks!
A great hack! I’ve been using this one for years
Awesome!
Cool. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching!
Great tip!
Seems I heard Jesse Ed Davis using this too (early 70's in Ottawa Canada) with Taj Mahall. Still listen to the great Danny Gatton with awe and humility!
No doubt Danny was amazing. If you get a chance to see the creative way he uses this simple structure in "Strictly Rhythm", make sure you check it out!
Dude that is fantastic😀😀😀 thanks for sharing
Glad you enjoyed it
Another great lesson
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great lesson. Thanks a lot. 👍👍👍
My pleasure! Thanks for watching!
Very clever Mark! Will use!
Great!
Elvis Presley's guitar man Scotty Moore used those very shapes in many of his solos. Thanks for the memories 🎸
You bet!
Ey Mark, it's very interesting and useful, thanks a lot.
Thanks! Glad you found it helpful.
Great tip thamks for sharing
No problem 👍
I watch a lot of guitar tutorials on CZcams. You are an exceptional teacher
Thank you so much!
I agree! Mark is a really great teacher (and player)!
Just love your lessons!
Thanks so much!
Very cool!
Thx!
Glad you like it!
Wow, very fun, gotta go try
