  • @alexaguado4854
    @alexaguado4854 2 года назад

    What a cool insight. That solo is much easier to understand now (and memorize). It's using "triad pairs (is that 2's of three's?)" - the major and minor thirds that make up the chords (right?). I can now see parts of G, A, and D in there.

    • @MarkZabel
      @MarkZabel  2 года назад

      Thanks Alex. This one uses primarily the 4 and 5 chords (G and A). Once in a while, he plays the F#, which is part of the D chord, the I chord.

      You're welcome. Thanks for watching. "Lines on My Face" from the Frampton Comes Alive album has, IMHO, one of the most beautiful solos on record. It's truly lyrical and the Leslie swell in the crescendo is amazing. Great storytelling in it too.
      Definitely enjoy Mick's playing on "Time Waits for No One" as well. Masterful.

    What other guitars solos used " triad pairing" that you can make a video lesson about triad pairing. I know jerry garcia live winterland 1974 used triad pairing in his scales.

    • @MarkZabel
      @MarkZabel  2 года назад

      A few solos/lead fills that heavily use triads are "Long Distance Runaround" by Yes, "Don't Take Me Alive" by Steely Dan, and "Promises in the Dark" by Pat Benatar. Just about anything from Larry Carlton or Elliott Easton is going to have some chordal ideas in it, even if not overtly using triads. One non-guitar solo I love is in the song "Mellow" where Jean Luc Ponty and Elton are doubling the lead - Ponty on violin, Elton on Hammond Organ. It's bluesy, but the end is a descending and then ascending triad-based line. Beautiful!

    • @MarkZabel
      @MarkZabel  2 года назад

      @@waynegram8907 The technique of using triad pairs works like this. Within a key, pick 2 triads that don't have common tones. The most commonly used are the II and III chords and the IV and V chords. Doing that gives you 6 of the 7 notes in the scale. You don't need to use the other triads in the key ... you certainly can if you want to, but you don't need to. I often use the I as well, because I find it pleasant sounding.

    • @MarkZabel
      @MarkZabel  2 года назад +1

      The whole lead part was added last apparently. They tried a couple other people first - probably Skunk and Denny Dias who both are credited with rhythm. Elliott's play is just a miracle on this song! His play, the piano and the lyrics really make the song. ("You've been telling me you're a genius since you were 17. In all the time I've known you I still don't know what you mean.")

      @@MarkZabel It is a timeless classic. This song and Trowers “Too Rolling Stoned” attributed to my hearing loss, maybe. 2 different styles though, Elliot is all over the neck and Trower looks like he’s getting all those sounds in mostly a pentatonic scale. Thanks for tutorial. Been playing all my life, but never had enough time to put into it. I am retired now and trying to learn more.

    I live in Spain his video and for sure the “Reelin In The Years” solo is a favourite of mine.
    My favourite guitarist of all time is Mark Knopfler, I love his melodic style and his signature “clicks”.
    Can you give us all a clue as to how he gets his unique sound please ?

    • @MarkZabel
      @MarkZabel  2 года назад +1

      Hope you enjoyed the video! Mark Knopfler is a favorite of mine too. Very unique sound and style and very melodic. If I understand you correctly, the "clicks" come from his style of "chicken pickin' ". To do it, you actually play the same note twice - a muted downstroke with the thumb (or pick if you're like me) and then an upstroke with a different finger (usually the middle or ring finger).
