    How anyone can say "horrible lesson" is beyond me. This really captures the details of the playing which is so important to get the essence of the song. EXCELLENT lesson. Saw another lesson on this which is not even close to being as good

      @MarkZabel  10 лет назад +8

      Thanks! Well, it's okay that he thought that - obviously his feelings are his own. But it would have been helpful if he "clued me in" on why he thought it was horrible. Then I could consider how and/or whether to fix it. Frankly, it seems most people think otherwise. So if I've helped a few people ... that's all I can hope for really.
      I appreciate your listening and your compliments!!

      There seems to be a huge gap between those who just want to steal the spotlight and those who actually LOVE the Music. Yeah we all feel a great rush when we learn something new that is old, but, Personally I like to learn from everyone. Some tunes can be unplugged for the campfire and for me that's all I need! so Thanks again for taking the time to teach us!

      @@MarkZabel yes I’m playing everything, The closest I got to being an engineer was my years with IBM as a customer engineer. Then I went into management so it was all people business for 30 years. You’d be surprised how many IT directors and IT managers were guitar players I would go to meetings where we cover the IBM business and then do a little Led Zeppelin.

    Mark, that was the first video that I've seen by you, and I really enjoyed it. I played the guitar as a teenager, but stopped in my early 20's. After 42 years, I've started playing again. Obviously, all of the gear is quite different from then; your tutorial video part of all the changes. Anyway, I've purchased a Yamaha acoustic/electric, and a Fender Squire Stratocaster, and am having a blast. I'll return to your video often--I love this song! Thanks Again!

  • @luvstellauk
    @luvstellauk 9 лет назад +3

    I would like to add, although slide is there in the studio version, there is plenty of footage of Joe Walsh/ The Eagles playing this without slide, certainly no slide used when played in the Hell Freezes over or Farewell One tour DVDs. The reason I mention this is because some keyboard warriors were getting their knickers in a twist over someone doing a cover in another You Tube video and not using slide.

    • @MarkZabel
      @MarkZabel  9 лет назад

      +luvstellauk Thanks. Good to know! It's one of the reasons I haven't done a couple other JW songs too. The keyboard warriors only succeed in getting people to stop creating lessons and do covers and the like.
      My view on all of the keyboard warrior stuff is I don't understand it at all. These are instructional videos ... if you don't like the video, click the stop button or try another video or turn off your computer and get your guitar and figure it out yourself. If you want to click the thumbs down, fine. (Though I reserve that only for truly offensive videos I stumble across on occasion. For everybody else I appreciate the effort enough to leave it alone at worst.)
      Also, I sometimes get comments on playing a phrase or two differently or about playing a certain note or two that I didn't play. That's 100% fine. I welcome those comments. I'm human and the guitar is a puzzle to be solved and enjoyed.
      But as the creator of these videos, I still cannot separate the emotion I feel when I see a negative comment or even get a dislike. (Though I have fairly thick skin.) So I've "bowed to fashion" once in a while. (Primarily by not improvising solos from memory as I would playing live. BTW, I think this is much more important than getting the notes exactly ... helps you develop your own style and ease in playing live. But it's a no-no on RUclips, so I don't do it any more.)
      Thanks again for your insightful comment!

    Thank You! This is a quick, very easy to understand learning session for a song that until the internet I thought I could never play! I will say In Jimmy pages defense that they should not go after Led Zeppelin for Plagiarism for Stairway to heaven, this song uses many of the very same chords and slides as Led Zeppelin's " In My time of Dying" and I am pretty sure Jimmy doesn't mind a bit! Just saying if its Music we share its all good! But that's just my opinion. Again Thanks for your time and help!!

      Hey Dwight! I'm not sure what you're talking about with respect to STH and the Zep boys. Did I make a comment on that in this video? If so, I hope I was joking. The "rip off" is from an old English carol called "Coventry Carol" ... the author's name is lost to history (1500's I think!), so it's fair game to use the progression (same as the one JP uses in the intro to STH). I actually think it's really cool that they "stole" it - more like they integrated it into their brand of 1970's blues rock (of which they were at the forefront in its definition).
      So no offense meant to JP/Zep. That they used something that was essentially done before (1500's!) is totally okay with me!!

      Actually they, Page/Zep, are being sued by the band Spirit for plagarizing a song they wrote. The intro to STH is copied from the Spirit song.
      Just one of many bands and artist who have taken Page to court over stealing their songs. Basically the first 3 Zep Albums are all songs written by famous blues artist. Page is a little shyster.

    • @MarkZabel
      @MarkZabel  10 лет назад

      arthur8557 Hey Arthur! Didn't know about the lawsuit ... but Coventry Carol and the Mel Bay version for guitar must pre-date Spirit's Taurus too. My guess is that if the Zep boys are called to the mat they may use a defense partly on pre-existing stuff. Thanks for the info!!

    Fantastic lesson. Could you do the solo? I'm making it too hard, and it's a simple solo, which is its charm.

    • @MarkZabel
      @MarkZabel  11 лет назад

      Sure, no problem. It's essentially 2 or 3 lines which are (almost) the same. As you say, that's what makes it charming! :)

  • @kenorlob3728
    @kenorlob3728 6 лет назад +1

    Well done, but Joe doesn't use the first position F chord, just the triad F at the fifth fret, as you can clearly see if you watch him playing it.

    • @MarkZabel
      @MarkZabel  6 лет назад

      Okay, thanks. I don't get wrapped around the axle on such things generally, but it's good to know.

    • @markwellendorf3949
      @markwellendorf3949 Год назад

      I think the first triad is a D position on fifth fret. Which is an F chord. The second part is Am. Thanks for the tutorial Mark

    Hi Mark! This is great! I got two questions, did you ever do the second part of the song? Also, have you heard of a song called "Far Behind" by Candlebox? Can you please do a lesson on it? If you like the song.

    cool profile pic and nice playing too.....I ve always wondered... Is this melody maker have any similarity at the sound in bridge position with a tele?

    • @MarkZabel
      @MarkZabel  9 лет назад +2

      Thanks George! The MM is an awesome, underrated guitar. It's amazing what you can do with just a single (single coil) pickup a volume knob and a tone knob. For the sound I usually dial in I like to describe the growl of this pickup as between a Tele bridge and a P90. It's not quite as raunchy as a P90, but it has more "ooomph" than a Tele bridge.
      But if I dial up the tone (I've got it at about 4 in this video.) I can get a good Tele bridge sound.
      Thanks for listening!
