Spot on mate. Concise, informative, and fun. I also learned a diatonic pattern across the fretboard, very similar in nature, from 2 positions. Perhaps you're aware. I still struggle with creativity, but these useful patterns help tremendously
Cool, thanks!
Best teacher on RUclips. Mark shows as how something that looks complicated and sounds great played by the Guitar Gods when broken down into chunks is not as difficult as it seems. Just an amazing lesson. Pretty soon RUclips will take down your videos for giving away the trade secrets of the Guitar Gods.
Wow! Thanks so much brother. Glad you're enjoying the videos!
Great comment... you said it all for me!! Some of the most enlightening vids I've seen.... binge watching all...
@@RobertPickeringBucketList69 Thanks buddy!
Just like it didnt occur to me to start the Am scale on the G, it didnt occur to me to move up to the C. Thanks for opening my eyes!
Glad it helped!
Great lesson as usual Mark! Since you mention the movie "The Song Remains the Same " how about a lesson from that album? Maybe the live version of Celebration Day or Whole Lotta Love?
Great suggestion, thanks!
"Stairway to the Watchtower" gimme 2 Jimmies!
Another great lesson Mark!
Thanks Dewy!
Mark is full of the educator’s heart! This is a remarkable lesson and clear, concise and encouraging from a pro. Thank you!!
Thanks Ken!
The pentatonic highway!!!! Great way to move around. Love it !!!!!!
That descending lick is identical to the 1st part of the opening lick of "Ramblin Man" by the Allman Bros....
Cool!
Many thank's Mark, brilliant vid.
It was like going through a forest, and coming to a clearing.
Best wishes
Wow, that's great!
Great lesson. I loved how you presented the information. It was easy enough for me to understand and absorb. I will definitely be working on this technique. Thank you.
Glad it was helpful!
I’m probably getting WAAAY ahead of myself but I’m guessing that once I grasp these various patterns and slides, there are likely some neat bends, hammer ons, and pull offs that can make this absolutely insane right?
Oh yeah! I forgot,,,,,,Thanks! This was a great thing to discover after just coming out of a Saturday afternoon nap!!
Now, where’s my guitar?
Absolutely, this sort of thing can be made to be a barn-burner. Paul Gilbert is very fond of this sort of idea. Glad you enjoyed it!!
@@MarkZabel Yes! I enjoyed it tremendously and went into my guitar place and tried it for about an hour or more and was great to see how it fell into place!
Loved your lesson and your step by step instructions which made it so easy to follow .
Slow and steady wins the race.
Maybe you can teach the Hendrix piece you play at the beginning too?
Thanks again!
@@PR-BEACHBOY Thanks buddy! Yeah, maybe I can do that. More of a triad-based sort of lick.
@@MarkZabel that would be great! Can’t wait.
Likely? Inevitable!! Go Open those musical doors! (Sounds Gratefully Deadfully, Hendrixee, Yes and Allman brothers ??!!) what a gift!!
These two licks are magic! They are a like a map to navigating the pentatonic scales, and at the same time giving a way to put together licks all have a distance of a two frets between them. These are going to be my absolute go-to licks when improvising, which I'm trying to figure out how to get into.
Awesome!
Yes, the two fret moves do seem to be the easiest to learn and use. I've seen these before but Mark puts them into context better than others I've seen.
It seems like you are playing G Mixloydian and C Major. All the same notes, but I can't call it A minor, When you start on its relative major and relative Mixolydian.
Where’s your les Paul?
LOL! It's upstairs. Didn't sell it!
So it's Vincent ascending and April in New York descending.
Thanks Mark. This is really good stuff.
Thanks Mitch! Glad you enjoyed it!
WOW....damn!....LUV THIS!......i'm trying to learn guitar and your lessons and approach are unlocking many doors of understanding for me ....THX!!!🙏🙏
My pleasure!
How are you getting that tone out of a squire ?
Maybe there is no problem with the guitar
Great lesson! I call it the 1-3 1-3 slide, teach it to all my students.
One of these days I'll make some more videos.
I just don't have a camera or an editing program.
Thanks!
Recently stumbled across your videos and im very impressed with with teachings. Everyone learns differently but for me i need slow, bite size pieces and you provide that. So your teaching style really helps me out. Thanks Mark and keep up the good work spreading the guitar word
Thanks! Glad you found my channel.
Mark, I stumbled across your channel a few times and keep coming back.
Thanks for helping make an old wannabe better than he was. I was a Joe strummer [more like basher] playing muddy stuff.
I can play stuff the family doesn't mind listening to now 😀
Welcome aboard! Glad you found the channel too!
All along the stairway 😁
Thanks, Mark. I never noticed the shifts all happen on the same note or interval. Gives me a whole new perspective.
Glad it was helpful!
I like playing in chunks!
One addition/correction I found that when going down the neck to use the index finger and going up the neck to use the ring finger. Why? because wherever fret you end up at, you have all the chords available directly under you hand. It made my playing much smother and was easy to adapt to.
Whatever works for you is right. But I don't think it's a "correction", because there are plenty of times, particularly when soloing, one needs to reach or pull-off toward the nut once one gets to the stopping point of the lick.
Play that very same Am pattern to a C major track, and suddenly it sounds like the Allman Brothers or Lynyrd Skynrd. Great lesson here. Thanks!
Thanks! Yep, you got that right about ABB or LS.
That ascending run was one of the first things I learned when I started trying leads. There are a million licks possible in there. I actually got a little TOO hung up on it!
Your creativity shows in that you have a track called "Stairway to the Watchtower"!
LOL! You caught that, eh?
Fucking brilliant...you're an excellent teacher!
Thanks Robbie T!
Like a Lion in the sun!
Great video and great exercise, but many guitar players fall into the "pattern trap"----- only looking at visual patterns----- instead of naming and memorizing the notes. I know because I used to do this too. There's a ton of RUclips videos that teach visual patterns only. They are a convenient aid to learning, but ultimately I know this is the wrong path to take if you don't also learn to immediately identify the names of all the notes. This lick is simply G-A-C-D-E in three octaves. You should be able to instantly name any note on the fingerboard all the way up the neck, and also it's position in a chord as 1-3-5-6-b7 etc. It really opens up the fingerboard and your mental ability to think about where you're going, instead of following pictures of meaningless dots.
Thanks and thanks for your comment. I believe both are good on guitar, as is knowing the sound of the intervals by ear. I've harped enough on learning the notes of the fretboard and the basic alphabet of the keys and minor/major triads. It's not something that most people want to do - right up there with reading music. It holds them back certainly. Kind of like going through life without reading written words. You can do it, but it makes life more difficult.
Only playing patterns without spending time building up your creative melodic and rhythmic ideas leads to being a "hand player".
Seems like I could use this method to solo over While My Guitar Gently Weeps. I love jamming to that tune.
Maybe you could give us your take on that one?
Great stuff as usual! 🤘🤘
Great suggestion! Thanks a ton!
C
Mark, I’ve seen this pattern used before and I have done it before but are the slides really necessary from D to E ascending and D to C descending? I use them ascending but not so much descending and have seen others do it the same. You are the first I have seen talk about using the slides all the time. Should you always slide between D and E up and D and C down?
You should play it however you want - whatever makes you play it easiest with the sound you feel is the best. Full stop.
Brilliant mark
Thanks!
Why do I find myself liking all these videos ?
I don't know, but I'm sure happy you do! Thanks!
Thanks Mark for another well done lesson!
Glad you liked it!
Mark, great lesson and great jam at the end!
Cheers!
Glad you liked it!
Crackin' stuff, Mark. Thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it
Mark fun following your tutorial .
Thanks!
"Stairway to the Watchtower".....ha ha, perfect title for that bit! And an excellent lesson, easily applicable, thank you
So glad you liked it!
Hey Mark just caught this that was really cool when you put it all together ❤ fantastic lesson! 🖤 Kris IL 🦋👋
Glad you enjoyed it
What are the notes could you please tell me?
Am pentatonic, so A, C, D, E, and G. Tab is available to members. Membership link in description of the video.
Very nice. I’ve watched hundreds if not thousands of guitar videos and I really like the way you easily link patterns and scales down and up the neck.
Thank you very much!
Nice as always
Thank you! Cheers!
Practice with 4 notes per click or 5?
Seven 👍
Where do I find this backing track you jammed to video? Kevin Kerwin member :-)

@@MarkZabel Done :-) Really enjoyed your video today. I got out my ES 335 and was connecting chords like crazy... Can't tell you have fast I'm improving.
@@KevinKerwin Awesome!
Good stuff. Thanks Mark
Glad you enjoyed it
Great stuff.
Thanks Scott!
Is that string skipping?
No on the first lick, yes on the 2nd lick.
Cool licks,cheers.
Thanks!
That Squier sounds great.. Maybe, perhaps it has to do with the player?? And a good amp..
Thanks so much brother! Yes, this Squier is one of my favorite guitars to play - right along with my Epi LP Studio. I may end up putting new pickups in it, but I think these sound pretty decent. A little noisy maybe.
@@MarkZabel I think sometimes someone can stumble on a Squier or an Epi with good body wood and neck.. You swap the electronics, the trem and perhaps the tuners and you're all set .. Jack Pearson and Mike Rutheford play live with Squiers. Those are not even Classic Vibes but the Affinity ones and I think they only swapped the tuners and kept the same pickups..
@@BedeLaplume Didn't know about Jack Pearson playing a Squier. That's cool!

The public couldn't care less what guitar a musician plays as long as it sounds good.. Only guitar players (at least some) are nit-pick about this..

Nice lesson!
Glad you liked it!
great lesson
Thanks Dale!
Good lesson. I was just wondering to help with fretboard fog whether this very useful partial stuff , shouldn't come after learning the whole story.🙂
Thanks. I'm not sure what you mean though. By "the whole story", do you mean something more comprehensive that starts with more fundamental concepts?
@@MarkZabel Your video title," How one easy lick connects everything" I guess the "everything" is what I mean by the whole story ie ; in this case the notes of Am pentatonic over the whole fretboard.
@@yak9147 Ah, okay. It's always good to learn and study fundamentals. Position play is good to know, but so is play between positions. If you know at least 2 pentatonic shapes (or other shapes), this should be useful and worth learning.
THANK YOU!!!!!
You're welcome. Thanks for watching.
Thank you
You're welcome. Thanks for watching!
Thanks!
You're welcome! Thank you too. I very much appreciate it!!
The frying pan shape! And you covered it both right-side up and upside down. Nice! I’ve also heard this lick called the pentatonic superhighway because of the way it takes you up and down the fretboard so quickly. Your videos are absolute gold.
Thanks!
I played for a LONG time before someone showed me this idea. Such a great way to open up the fret board. Great lesson!
Glad you like it!
For God’s sake Mark.
I came on your site because of one lesson and I have now been sitting watching these for 3 hours and loving them.
My wife is grizzling because I promised to do the dishes.
All of your lessons are hitting the mark for what I’m needing. Thanks so much.
….there she goes again, gotta run!!
LOL! If I could give this 50 thumbs up I would. Thank you so much!! (But please do listen to your better half. Don't want to be responsible for breaking up a happy home!)
I love your short, simple, bite-sized explanations. You also have theoretical support or a bigger idea behind your lesson . As a result I can quickly learn a lick that I can can spend hours building and expanding upon. Thank you!
So glad you're enjoying the videos. Thanks for your kind comment!
Agree! Clear, very concise very easy going pace, master instructor. Thank you “Mark the Music Man!”
LOL! Thanks so much Don!
Thanks Mark, I’m so happy to have found this!
My pleasure. Glad it was helpful!
Page and Howe! Love those guys. Love how Jimmy Page plays those ascending runs. Am I wrong but does Dickie Betts do this all the time?
Absolutely! Dickie plays them too.
Valuable info and good presentation... Thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it!
