    It’s kinda blowing my mind that I was still waiting for the flavored part you were going to play because you were still playing stuff I play, not knowing I’m doing okay at country rock already. 😊
    I’m also into playing country jazz and country psychedelic and last but not least country country but I am still learning. I really don’t know how to play fast enough to play out anyway…

    Man I've been playing those passing notes and pedal steel tupe bends forever. Never knew I was doing Mixolydian tho I heard other guitarists in the 80s talk that lingo especially metal players. But, now I know why and where it works. While it's great to rely on your ear, knowing what works in D-A-G progressions adds to the confidence when jamming or building solos!

    Vertically going down through each of these patterns it's a repeating set of 124,124, 134, 134, 13 and then it repeats vertically and sideways up and down the neck.

    Great lesson Mark, Dead Flowers(Faded Pedals) is one of my favorite Stones song and the first ever guitar solo I learned, right there in the D major! Over the years, there were rumors that Gram Parsons had a main hand in turning on Keith Richard's to herion. Although I don't know if he did or didn't but I do know Gram Parson's was the main man for turning Keith onto Country Rock and im sure glad he did! 👍 🎸 🇨🇦

      @mikem668 Před 16 dny

      @@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.

      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.

    Hey Mark... What is the best pedal to get that Allman Brothers sound? They don't use too much distortion. What do you recommend? Also what do you really recommend for a harmonizing pedal? Thanks in advance
    Pete

    • @MarkZabel
      @MarkZabel  Před měsícem +2

      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.

    • @scottkingsley8037
      @scottkingsley8037 Před měsícem +1

      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.

      @@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!

    Great sound - is that a Fender Tone Master Deluxe Reverb back there you're playing through? Judging by the colour then I think it is, unless there's a limited edition FDR I don't know about? I'm thinking of getting a TM and that's the one (Blonde) I like best sound wise. My back is knackered so I can't carry my old valve amps any more, especially in and out of car boots! And so if that's a Tone Master then you've just sold it to me ! If not then it still sounds great - obviously. 🙂

My trusty old Fender Hot Rod Deluxe sounds fabulous, and carried me through hundreds of gigs, but I can hardly even lift it off the floor nowadays! And as I am also a guitar teacher, the TM's attenuator means I can use it for lessons and home practice too. I tried a "normal" FDR but it's the same weight as my Hot Rod Deluxe.
