    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! 🎸

    @tbonuss Před 11 dny +1

    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!

    • @MarkZabel

    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

    • @MarkZabel
      @MarkZabel  Před 21 dnem

      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.

      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??

  • @cidlopez

    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.

    • @MarkZabel
      @MarkZabel  Před 14 dny +1

      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?

    • @MarkZabel
      @MarkZabel  Před 21 dnem

      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.

    • @waynegram8907
      @waynegram8907 Před 21 dnem

      @@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.

    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..

    • @MarkZabel
      @MarkZabel  Před 14 dny +1

      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.
