I came across this learning the bb box. I always go by sound, but cadence and note duration work hand in hand with sound. I like Robbens blues playing. But it was his jazz riffs from the yellowjackets and jing chi that blow me away. Like most greats I can recognize his diction in 2 notes. For his incredible early work check out “imperial strut” and in the same vein , Tommy Bolin on spectrum with Billy Cobham . Two incredibly unique players.
I had the GIT tape "The Monsters Are Here" before he came out with "Talk To Your Daughter". It was a great version, but I haven't been able to find it since then. I have several versions of that song, but not that one. Still looking.
Agreed. A good example is Led Zeppelin What is and What Should Never Be - and the the rotation between E7 and A13 (highlighting the 2nd in E as the major 6th in A) - Bb box.
Wow Mark. Yet another fantastic insight into playing. Thanks!!
You bet!
Thanks, Mark! I've been dealing with some painful hand issues the past 4 months or so with two surgeries done and three more to go. I'm told that after the last one and if I stick with the therapy I'll be able to play guitar again. So ... I've been watching your videos here and going through the movements in my mind over and over. That point of coming back can't come fast enough for me to put your instructions into use. Peace out!
Keep the faith with the receding hand pain. I'm pulling for you!
Well I'll be playing all day now. Really nice lesson you just opened up a big door. Thank you.
Fantastic! Thanks.
This is one of the most enlightening things you've ever done, for me... Light bulb moment... Thanks so much! 🤘
Sweet! Glad to help!
love you videos man very informative
Glad to hear it. Thanks so much!
Great lesson! Thank you!
Glad you liked it!
Always love your guidance and ideas. So refreshing that you understand there is no one way to expression on a guitar. Many folks blow by this nuance. Fine work as always buddy!⚡️
Thanks man! You get it. So glad you enjoy the videos!
Absolutely fantastic have a wonderful weekend mark ❤❤❤❤❤❤😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
Thanks! You too!
The sweetness of the sixth also lifts Dorian up from the natural minor.
It works so well for Carlos Santana !
Yep.
It's so funny I just get lost for hours on that scale writing low tuned blues diddys stretching strings for some reason I've known this since I picked up my uncles stratocaster at 4 since then nothing I've learned in 61 years of life moved me along quicker than your videos Thanks man
Essential ! Thank you for this.
My pleasure. Thanks for listening!
Thanks for the helpful lesson.
You're welcome. Glad it was helpful!
Sweet i started learning around the sane time a bought the album Talk to your daughter
That is awesome!
Cheers mark .Your channel is fantastic
Great lesson Mark!!! Love the idea to freshen it up. Love the new guitar too!!! Keep up the great work
Thanks! Will do!
EXCELLENT i need them albums never hurd of robin ford and that dosent mean i never hurd his stuf on the radio probably back when they never said the name of the person just the song im showing my age now ... excellent instructer Mark
Thanks!
Nice! Personally if I'm playing rock "in the key of G" - I'll probably be hitting your note on the B string "E" with bends. But if I'm playing pop "in that same position"- I'll probably be hitting the "Eb" note" and it may actually be in the key of "Bb". It depends on the chord progression and melody "for me". I've kind of blended about 4 scales together and adjust according to what sounds good.
Thanks! Yep. I don't really play scales much any more. I do play out of chords though, as it sounds like you do. I try to get ideas of melodies from chords or moving between chords. Or of course, imitating a singer's melody. Most players will relate to scales, often the minor pentatonic.
One thing that's lovely about the 6th is that it's the 3rd of the 4 chord in the blues. So it'll sound jazzy over the 1 chord, but feel perfect for the 4 chord.
@@MarkZabel ok so what does that mean. If you’re playing blues in A, it’s the third on the Dmajor scale, which is . . . F#! Lightbulb 💡 moment!
Duane’s solo is terrific but it’s Dickey Betts’ solo-after Gregg’s B-3 solo-that really brings that blues home. Room to breathe, great dynamics, classic licks.
I’ve always been a bigger fan of Betts. Bon’anima to him.
@@oceantree5000 I think Duane’s playing was more unique, also more incendiary-capable of bringing the band and crowd to a higher level emotionally and, possibly, spiritually. But Dickey was more grounded in classic blues and definitely country. His solo in Stormy Monday is just a classic. Duane said, “I may be the more famous guitar player in the band, but I’m not the best.” I’ve said it so many times: No Dickey Betts, no Allman Brothers Band.
I needed that note!
The Hexatonic scale!
Honest teacher
Thanks!
Thanks Mark Agree it's the sound that matters! Excellent content here with a great story to go with it! 👋🖤🦋🖤
Very nice lesson! I would add that the 6th of A is the 3rd of D, and this is very important in blues playing. A lot of the great soloists will hit that 3rd (F♯) to "tag" that D chord, to hear that change. Also, that scale - A-C-D-E-F♯ - also happens to be a D9 arpeggio: D-E-F♯-A-C (1-2-3-5-♭7) or D-F♯-A-C-E (1-3-5-♭7-9). In Ian Ring's scale system, the conventional names are the A Scale 681: "Minor Added Sixth Pentatonic" (1-♭3-4-5-6) and the D Scale 1173: "Dominant Pentatonic" (1-2-3-5-♭7). Note that the scale you call dominant pentatonic in your new video is called "Mixolydian Pentatonic" (1-3-4-5-♭7) in the Ian Ring system.
Thanks. Yes, this scale works particularly well on the 4 chord because the 6th of the 1-chord is the 3rd of the 4-chord.
I love “Wild Honey” by Robben Ford.
Me too! Beautiful song!
You taught me something, I've often used those notes as in the Texas flood riff,or mixing major and minor, but not in that context. Hope to be able to start using it more in my playing 😊
Yeah Mark, thanks a Bunch for the perspective 😍grey stuff
Glad you enjoyed it
That’s a fun scale!
It sure is!
Good one Man
Thanks!
Sweet
Dorian Pentatonic if you replace the flat 7 wiht a 6
Yup! I was just about to say, Dorian and Minor pentatonic patterns overlap nicely.
@@BrandonOutside Dorian is pretty bluesy!
Yes, that's right.
@@MarkZabel I knew you knew, just had to mention, thanks for the fantastic guitar playing and content!!
That Lynard lick sounds very much Charlie Christian (Seven Come Eleven?)
Yes, it's extremely common. Known as the "Woody Woodpecker" lick. Used by T-Bone, Chuck, B.B. and countless players in the swing era.
Barnes and Noble is still around with over 600 stores.
But not Borders
That's right - not Borders. They were the best and then over-expanded ... and the market passed them by too. I often went to the original Borders in Ann Arbor. Great staff.
I Know a Little is one of my all time favorites! The only song that's in reverse! Even the &&$#&@$ Beatles didn't do one in reverse! My grandson 10 is buying all their vinyl albums😮. Really pmo but what can I do; they were/are great... 😢 (😂)
That's so awesome!
Can you quickly explain why that note is called a 6th? Is it the 6th note in the G major scale (in a G blues)? Then applied against the G minor pentatonic in a G blues?
it`s the six note of the major scale added to minor penta scale all pro guitar players will blend major and minor, from jimmy page to gary moore to countless others,
It's the 6th note of the major scale, full stop. This is always the case. It doesn't matter what it's applied to, it always refers to the note in the major scale.
For example. An Em chord has the notes E, G, and B. Those are the 1, the b3 and the 5 respectively. It doesn't matter that it's a minor chord, we still use the E-major scale to reference the note positions.
Got it! So the flatted 7 creates that minor pentatonic scale (in A major it goes from G# to a G. In an A minor pentatonic adding the 6th is an F#? I knew all this by shape, rather than by notes. Another Page, Clapton common move - adding the 3rd? Correct? That’s a C# in the A scale?
yes adding the major third is great in blues going from a minor third to maj third is the sound of the blues.@@Dan-zq5wt
You both got it!! 100%!
You should of added in the video lesson Dickey Betts Allman Brothers use of the Major Hexatonic scale. When Hendrix would use 6/9 chords he would use the Mixolydian mode/major scale with b7 but focus on the 6th scale degree.
Part of Dorian ?
Yes, you could look at it that way ... or probably even better it's the 6th of the I-chord BUT the 3rd of the 4-chord, so it works great over the 4 chord.
@@MarkZabel 👍 .. so my level is now incorporating chord tones / arpeggios into or , along with scales . It’s a big leap for an old finger picker .. thanks for what you do !😊
Mark is a pleasant guy. He's not a thug rappa or a Satan worshipper(I hope!)
You got it right. LOL! Whew!
at 1:24 a note is missing in the scale. the C on the third string is not in red. just saying. Am I the only one who sees? or maybe I'm an idiot.
I’m confused as to why you didn’t play the note that you heard, instead of giving up because it wasn’t in your scale.
Because he was trying to fit everything into a scale framework at that time. The point is to play what sounds good and keep the framework loose. Hope that helped.
Exactly right Joe. @inspirasong If you watched the video until the end you'll see it's a very common issue that many guitar players have - especially those who are theory-minded.
@@MarkZabel Great video, and thanks for the explanation. I guess the moral of the story is to trust your ears.
@inspirasong I try to let the listener draw whatever moral to the story they want! For me, first opening then trusting my ears was a moral. But another was that one never knows where a single idea will take you. If you work with it and make it your own - see it in your own way - you'll often find things you never dreamed possible.
I still remember that feeling of "what's this"? Then within a year everything I played had that note in it! I moved on, but man, what an impact it had on me.
Great video! Why your P90s are so quite?
Thanks! If you mean "quiet" (maybe a typo), it must be the volume was turned down. If you meant something else, please let me know.
@@MarkZabel Sorry... I meant there is no noise. Thanks
@@AntonioCavicchioni Oh, I understand now. I'm using a noise gate. Yes, P-90s can be noisy!
@@MarkZabel Thank you!
