Thank you!

Mark thank you so much for this great tune and so many others I have learned from you. I wish you were around in the 80's when I first started playing. You explain everything great and I could tell you're a good hearted man. Thanks again my friend, it's greatly appreciated!
Thanks so much!! Means a lot to me. Thanks for listening!
Ditto... well said.
Thanks Mark for this fabulous lesson-one of my favourite tunes from the 70's. You nailed it once again. Cheers!
My pleasure. I always really dug this one too.
Awesome job, Mark! I've always loved this song. Tasty guitar parts.
Thanks man!
@@MarkZabel df
Mm
To make this all about me for a second, I first heard this song on a Blues Brother Soul Sister CD my dad got when CDs first came out. Great lesson thank you.
Rock on!
Can't thank you enough for the lesson. I used to teach long ago. You do great work.
Thanks so much! I'm glad you found the video helpful, and it's nice to get such kind feedback.
Thanks. Took nearly fifty years but I finally got around to learning it!
Awesome!!
Reggie Young used a Les Paul Deluxe on the recording. Great lesson, tricky intro. Also known as "Give me the beach boys and free my soul"
Haha typed that before you mentioned the misheard lyrics.
Good info ... always assumed it was a Tele for some reason. Yeah, definitely "gimme the Beach Boys"!! :)
Think it was "Give me the beat" and not "beach" lol Misheard lyrics ...
@@jimiray1 Yes, Give Me The Beat. Dobie Gray used to joke that people thought it was "beach boys" ... "wheat boys" ... "meat balls". I think he made "meat balls" up, because it doesn't sound like that at all ... but it's pretty funny.
@@MarkZabel The other one is definitely a Tele for sure.
Great lesson, Mark - much appreciated!
My pleasure! Thanks for watching!
A great cover of the guitar riffs by the legendary Reggie Young.
"Give me the Beach Boys!" Lol, great tutorial. That guitar sounds really good!
Thanks Mark! I dig it too.
Thanks Mark for the great lesson...All of a sudden it seemed more possible to duplicate the great fills . Thanks for your time and patience to shoe every note to note and where they fit in the collective picture.
You're welcome. Thanks for watching!
Excellent. Thank you. From Ireland ☘️
Thank you!
Great sounding Reverend.
Sounds really good bruh! Nice job for this one. 👍
Thanks!!
Very pretty tune. One of my old time favs. Thanks, I enjoyed it much.
Thanks Bob. One of my favorites too. Glad you liked it!
Top marks Mark. that was a great 23:21 minutes. I'll be dissecting this later in hopes of learning it. Extremely well done!!!
Thanks a ton! I'm sure you'll enjoy this one. Those fills are really sweet ... and of course that iconic intro. Reggie Young was such a great player!
Excellent lesson. Love all the original fills. Reggie was awesome. Thanks
My pleasure. Thanks for watching. Reggie was truly excellent. Along with Cornell Dupree (and Joe Messina and Jimmy Johnson as well) very under-appreciated. Knew how to serve the song.
Every time y'all say this one is not difficult I am like ?? WTH man. They kick my A**. Great job. LOL
LOL! Stick with it!
Gorgeous song. NICE MIC!
Thanks Dan. Yeah, why hide the mic? It's so big and fuzzy and blue!
Learning how to slide
"Give me the wheat boys and feed my soul" great lyric 😉
Give me the meatballs!! Apparently Dobie Gray himself joked about it all the time.
I thought it said give me the “beat”
@@dillongeer2254 Yes, that's the actual words, "give me the beat boys", but Dobie and others joked about it as:
Give me the beach boys
Give me the wheat boys
Give me the meatballs
... and so forth.
Mark Zabel oh I see
I did get it! Thank you!
Great!
Great lesson
Wish I could figure out how to get the tab lol
Thanks. There's a link in the description (pasted here for convenience). Click, provide your email address and you'll get an email to get the tab. (Also many others)

Nice fills!Thanks!😊
Glad you like them!
Thanks Mark
Very welcome
Oh fantastic Always wanted to learn this THANK YOU! Burton Trent
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great lesson! Love that you’re using a Reverend too!
Reverend Buckshot. Great guitar!
@@MarkZabel I have a nice orange and cream Reverend Avenger TL, love it!
Thanks very much,I don't sound much like Reggie but alot closer after 2 months trying.
The important thing is to enjoy and try your best. Thanks for watching!
Cheers,Peace n Love
Love the way you teach this stuff! I don't quite follow the way you make the E chord during the chorus, maybe an "C" shape or inverse barre of some sort (yes, self teaching) ...but I'll keep playing around with it. Thank you for taking the time to do this....seem to love all the songs you decide to do. Someday I hope to be able to give back!
Thanks! Could you point out in the video what you're referring to? The C-shape is used, but it's pretty much all single notes in the chorus and the only thing I can think of that you're referring to is the D-shape. I might be able to help, but it's not clear to me what you're referring to.
@@MarkZabel Drift Away is the one I'm working on now..."How to Play Drift Away on guitar | Dobie Gray Guitar Lesson with TAB" from 5/23 2019
ruclips.net/video/JzmGzZv1Ud8/видео.html&lc=z23qufz51mr0dz2ge04t1aokgpokkng11cgfmdhst5cbbk0h00410
And... two years later... I think he's referring to the E chord at 4:17. Looks like it might be 2nd inversion w B in the bass? I don't have my guitar with me (work)
Hey @markzabel thank you for this video and for commitment to teaching. Following up on this. Can you expand on the shape of the E chord at 4:09? Thank you for your time.
Mark did you read my mind? I was working on this song last night and was going to request that you cover this song. Looking forward to breaking it down with you! Thanks
Hey Phil! That's amazing! I have to confess I didn't read your mind ... this has always been one of my faves. Thanks!
First pop song I can remember. Sixth grade I think.
Damn, I'm sorry I watch this video. You're playing it properly; lots to learn on that intro.
It's okay John. If you like the music you're making that's all that matters. Have fun no matter what!
Like it
Thanks.
Great lesson on a beautiful song. Thank you. I tried to download the tabs but never made it to my email 😢
Make sure you check your spam. You didn't leave your email address, but I'm 99% sure your email address is in my list and there's a record of delivery to it. I didn't get a bounce from that email.
If you're still having trouble after checking spam, email me.
I am also having the same problem
great job
Thanks!
Hi Mark, thanks for the video, it's really awesome. The other tabs I've found aren't even close to what you've done. Speaking of tabs, I wanted to mention that the one tab for this song from your site, the one that's not handwritten, has the wrong chords in the bridge, it's like 4 intervals off. Should be C#m E B C#m E F# instead of G#m B F# G#m B C#.
Thanks! Okay, I'll check that out ... Yes, Rex was kind enough to do that for me. I don't really have a way of altering it. I guess I might have to take it down. :(
Oh please don’t take it down! The rest of it is really great. I can try to edit and send to you
Great thanks but I missed the middle section?
Thanks for this! I'm pretty good at figuring things out by ear, and I don't sweat it too much if I'm not playing it exactly the way it was originally recorded. However, your video gave me some good corrections. Now, may I humbly offer you one? At the chorus, the single notes you are playing over the B chord are: E - F# - B. That sounds "ok," but it should be: F# - G# - B. Shift your first hammer on up one whole step and see how it comes alive! Enjoy!
Thanks for your comment and suggestion! Even though what you suggest sounds really good, I'm fairly sure in the recording (E.g., at 0.33 in the song) the hammer ends on F#, not G# on that first line.
I don't sweat playing things exactly either, so I have the same outlook as you on this sort of thing. The RUclips crowd usually feels otherwise though. Thanks again.
@@MarkZabel I stand corrected. You are right. Guess I’m not as good as I thought! My apologies!
@@ride8575 No worries. What you suggested really sounds good ... and that's what counts. No need to apologize for that!! :)
Hi Mark, nice playing! I'm having trouble finding the transcription to Drift Away. Is it still available? Thanks!
There's a link in the description of the video. I just sent you an email with the transcriptions. Hopefully you got it.
Very cool!
Thanks Kevin!
Nice! As you say, lots to grab here. BTW I heard a chord that reminded me of a chord in the guitar intro to a Herman’s Hermits B side song “Listen People”. See if you can hear it. I think it was that F# triad
Thanks! I'll check that out!
Gladifound you
Thanks!
Really great lesson. I too am having trouble accessing the TAB - I opened an account, but can’t seem to do much other than view part of the file. Thx
Thanks for the feedback! That's very curious. You only see part of the tab for "Drift Away"? Or by "file" do you mean something else?
There is some sample curriculum at the bottom of the landing page. If you mean that, the issue is that you haven't logged into the course itself. That seems to confuse people.
Instead, log in (top right of page) and click to get to the course (Mark Z's RUclips free). You'll see maybe 100 tabs there going back to 2014.
Hopefully that helps.
@@MarkZabel I think it was an iPad issue. Worked ok on computer. Thanks.
Goodstuff
Mark, wasn't able to download the tab. Any suggestions? Thanks, Steve
Hi Stephen. Try this: www.dropbox.com/s/wvzksv806ie98mw/Drift%20Away.pdf?dl=0
If clicking doesn't work, try cutting and pasting into your browser. If that doesn't work, contact me via www.markzabel.com.
Hi Mark. How can I get that backing track you're using? Its perfect for practicing the timing. Thank you so much!
I'm not 100% sure, but I'd guess I used guitarbackingtracks.com. Unfortunately, that site is permanently down. Here's another version. It's not for free, but it looks pretty decent. www.karaoke-version.com/guitar-backing-track/dobie-gray/drift-away.html
Thanks! Appreciate it!
Would love to get the tabs, is it available??
There's a link in the video description.
@@MarkZabel I did try 3 x but never received the download. And yes it looked in spam..I also tried 2 different email addresses..thanks
@@asansone57 over 30,000 people have downloaded it successfully, so I know the link works. Email me directly if you'd like.
@@MarkZabel got it thanks..
@@asansone57 Awesome! Glad you got it.
But what about the bridge? Still utterly brilliant video and lesson.
Thanks.
I can't find the tabs for the fills?
A link is in the description of the video.
I can't seem to get the tab in my E-mail.
Interesting. It has worked for over 20,000 people. Perhaps your local email client is blocking it. Did you check the spam directory?
chur thank you x3 bro
You're welcome. Thanks for watching!
no tabs or downloads of any kind have come into my E-mail, new mail, spam folder, nothing from your sight after clicking the link several times.
Okay. Your ISP must be blocking it. 1000's of people have downloaded the tabs. I can help if you give me your email address.
Nice
Thanks T.S.!
Reggie young plays guitar on all parts!
Thanks. Not according to this link and a number of others I found doing research on the players: www.mixonline.com/recording/classic-tracks-dobie-grays-drift-away-366011
Are you sure? If so, what source are you referencing?
Mark Zabel watch his documentary part 2 with Zach child’s truetone
ruclips.net/video/Q8wMD5XO_zc/видео.html
Go to 23:00
Let me know what you think afterwards
@@jchavez84 Thanks! I'll give it a watch/listen and do that. Appreciate the link man!
Mark, Great lesson. However, I cannot download the TABS for this song. Is there something wrong with the url?
Thanks Peter. Nothing wrong with the url that I can see.
1. If you haven't registered yet, you'll need to do that. Click the button that says "Click for Access"
2. If you have already registered, make sure you're logged in by clicking "Login" on the upper right.
Let me know if that doesn't work for you.
@@MarkZabel I Can't see a button that says "click for access" or register. I have subscribed
Don't have a link for the tab
You don't? You are in luck. There is one in the description.
@@MarkZabel Didn't open up the description. Thanks
@@chrisbera7952 No worries!
How about the bridge? 🙀
How about it? Are you asking me to do it? Something else?
Mark Zabel I think I got it, great lesson, I just realized that was missing when I played along with the recording.
@@stevekille447 Okay, cool. Let me know if you want me to do it ... or do a different song. Thanks!
what are your amp settings
Clean. Bass = 5/10, Treble = 5/10, Midrange = 5/10. That's my guess anyway. So much depends upon your guitar, which pickups you use and so forth. I talk about the sound at 2:45 in the video.
@@MarkZabel thank you this helped
Can't find the TAB
Hi Jerald. I put the links in the video descriptions. Here it is for your convenience this time. Get the TAB: tinyurl.com/ybpzjuwm
@@MarkZabel thank you so much.
@ 4:08 What E???
E is the chord/harmony at that point in the progression. The fills being played fit the harmony.
Just start in to slide
Good job. But you didn't work out the outro.
I didn't post it, true.
bro, just teach it in order just say the chords, start with the intro, what chords????
Bro ... did you even listen to the video? I clearly outline the order in which I'm going to teach and *clearly* state the chords. Try this - 4:00.
Mark Zabel ahhhhhhhh i seeee said The blind man as he Peed in the wind it’s all coming back to me now lol.... thank you my good man!
Don't like capo's
