- I saw the great Danny Gatton in a video called “Strictly Rhythm”. In lesson #1 he did this thing he called the two-note wonder. It’s an amazingly simple concept that frees up your thinking and thins the mix too! So many great things to learn from it!
Danny Gatton, The Telemaster and “The Humbler” was an absolute master of the guitar. Quite possibly the greatest ever.

And just like that I'm a white belt again. Thank you sensei
You're welcome. Thanks for your kind comment. BTW, I actually do have a Master Black Belt - but in Six Sigma, not karate ... which maybe means I can beat people in an Excel Spreadsheet fight! LOL!! Thanks again!
By your belt turning white again is the essence of Bruce Lee's "Jeet Kune Do" 🎸☮️
@@MarkZabel Thanks for the lesson. I'm a Lean Enterprise guy. Love Process Improvement. Not much Muda here. Great Cpk!!!
@@jimtessin4130 LOL! Thanks!!
Being humble and smart enough to restart learning, is a tremendous gift
You teach so much in 5 minutes. Never disappoint. Thanks
Thanks Garry!
I discovered this a number of years ago when I began using three-note “Freddie Green” chords. Cool as hell. And with a tritone inversion, e.g., that two-note G7 is also a Db7.
Exactly so. I see the tritone as a chromatic from the iim chord rather than going to the V7 before the I. It's "just" a chromatic line. (But oh so neat sounding!)
Mr. Z. is a great teacher. Wonderfully clear. I messed with guitar 40 years before realizing playing a chord doesn't require using all 5 or 6 strings, just the 2- or 3-note "shell."
Thanks! Yes, I did the same ... I'm a slow learner, LOL!
I just bought my first guitar 2 weeks ago you are my new hero
LOL! Thanks. Rock on!!
Talking about playing a Tele, brings back good & sad memories. In 1968, I had a 1951 Tele. That was the same year I was born, so I figured it was made for me! Wish I still had it!
I've been using this as long as I can remember. Never thought of the theory behind it or why it works.
Always appreciate taking a pause to stand back and learn simpler tricks capable of conveying my emotions. What I love about this so much is that while it is so classicly elegant on its own, it remains a great platform to build from and make one's own. Thank you for this tip. Been playing for years but it's always nice to be humbly reminded of little nuances such as this and their roots. 🙏🎶🤘
My pleasure Will. Thanks for watching!
In the summer of 2019 I had a lesson with Will Ray and one of the things he showed me was this exact lick, and I've been using it ever since! Great lesson Mark!
Thanks so much!!
Dude. You never disappoint. Thank you 🙏
Thanks so much!
Hey Mark- this is for your reference. There's another guitar player very similar to DANNY GATTON that nobody knows about. If you're looking for additional material to break down and teach... check out "STEVE TROVATO." There's a video of him playing with ALBERT LEE... and when STEVE solos, it's fairly obvious who was the runner up. JAZZ, COUNTRY, BLUE, ROCK, ETC. He doesn't really teach on Utube... just has a few videos up. Last I knee he was teaching at USC, but he could've retired. He's definitely another "HUMBLER." Helluva guy too!!
Yeah, Steve Trovato ... great player for sure. I think I've got some of his stuff playing with John Jorgenson, another fantastic player. Good to know he's a good guy as well!
Steve T. did a GREAT dvd on playing like Chuck Berry. Highly recommended...
So easy and elegant. Gatton, the one and only!
Gatton was amazing. I don't know that he was the one who first saw it, but he certainly used it to great effect!
Mindblowingly simple. Kudos to you Sir!
Thank you so much 😀
Just found this channel. Liking it a lot. So far it seems like clearly presented information with realistic perspective to make it possible to quickly put things into practice. Just enough theory to provide context without obscuring the point of the lesson.
Thank You!
Thanks so much! I work very hard to keep the lessons short and tight, and to not try to put too much into any one lesson. Don't be shy about letting me know what else you'd like to see!
I loved Danny Gatton and his fantastic playing. One of my all time favorite guitarists.
No doubt an all-time great!
Love Danny! Had the chance to catch a show and meet him. A true tele magician.
One guy to check out if you never hear of him: Scotty Anderson
Very nice! Thank you for keeping Danny Gatton in our lives.
Glad you enjoyed it. Danny was truly amazing!
I'm familiar with Danny Gatton, but never thought I could play any of his stuff. Thanks Mark.
You're welcome. Thanks for watching!
Thank you for sharing! Keep spreading the blues
You bet! Thanks for watching!
Nice! Super simple, super useful. Thanks for giving me another tool for the guitar trick bag.
Happy to help!
Now that's a cool trick!
Real Magic! 2notes in 2 minutes of music theory just changed Everything!!
"DANNY GATTON" - the MOZART of guitar! I have a bunch of his tutorial discs. If Ur without a tuner and need 2 tune 2 pitch, pick up a land-line phone... the dial tone is "F"- Always "F." He was on stage tuning 3 guitars simultaneously AND, pointing to all the other musicians who were out of tune, then telling them whether they were high or low and by how much. INCREDIBLE PERFECT PITCH!! Could listen to anything and immediately reproduce it, then play it better. "LES PAUL" was impressed by how GREAT he was. DANNY also built HOT RODS... engine and all- from the bottom up. Man was a GENIUS- RIP.
Jimmy Page does just this in the intro and elsewhere in “Rock n Roll” up at the 12th fret on the D and G strings
Excellent discussion of blues theory illustrated brilliantly visually, verbally, and sonically.
Thanks!
I learned this two note trick playing blues on mandolin years ago but never applied the concept to guitar. Now I will. Thanks!
Happy to help!
How smooth and appropriate
Thx man
Sure thing brother! Thanks for watching.
You really make clear how these tricks hang together - learning new stuff from you and I’ve been playing for a long time 😎🎸👍
Great to hear!
I used to play a lot with bands and solos using chord melody style. I haven’t played in years and now have guitar playing friends. They like to jam to warm up. I’d forgotten these “broken chord forms”. Like you said, it allows the other guitar players, including bass, an opening to be creative. Also horns and keyboards can be heard and allowed to open up and fill up any blank spaces. Thanks!
Sure thing. Glad you enjoyed the video.
Really nicely explained. A long time ago my teacher taught me this with reference to the rhythm playing of the great Freddie Green (Count Basie's guitar player for many years). The 3 and 7 define the chord, and so this approach can be used with ANY chord in ANY song. Great in jazz standards. If there is no bassist, you can usually add rgw root or 5 in the bass easily, and it is also the basis of walking bassline guitar comping - similar to what you say about embellishing the chords, just in the bass. As soon as you know the 3 and 7 define the chord it really frees your playing.
Thanks! Well said.
The guitar is amazingly symmetrical.
Until you reach the B-string!
Great tutorial, well done. Thank you so much!
You're welcome. Thanks for watching!
Thank you 😊 for your knowledge and explaining slowly for a beginner like me.
Glad you enjoyed it!
I was taking a class in improvisation on the guitar. I was really starting to hear my notes blend with and accent the background music. My ear was getting better and better. Then one day my teacher told me that I was ready to start making sure my improv notes included the root of each chord. I quit my lessons the next day. I felt like someone put a straight jacket on me. Thank you for this lesson. Thank you very much.
You're very welcome. Thanks for watching!
Holy hell. My son bought me a guitar for Christmas last year. I'm starting to play at 60. Needless to say I know nothing of music... But tonight I'm going to become a 2 note wonder! THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU.
That is awesome!
Top lesson! Thanks for sharing!!!
Glad you liked it!
This is really simple but clever. You can build round this in so many ways.
No doubt. What Danny G was doing was really cool. Honestly, I think that's such a key insight into how the greats play - they keep it simple, but know it like the back of their hands. Thanks for watching!
Love this for jamming the blues.
Great for it definitely
it took me all of 3 minutes to subscribe! No flash! No drone speech about this/that or whatever! Clear Concise and down to earth! I salute you and thank you! Subscribed!!
Thanks a ton Michael!
YES!! Danny G is one of my favorites!
Mine too!
Excellent, excellent, excellent! Makes me aware of and think of the different inversions of those chords and the placement of the all the chord tones in the 7th chord, be it I, IV or V. Thanks for the enlightenment Mark!
My pleasure Doug!
That's the most I've ever learned in that short a time. I use the 3-b7 on bass sometimes, but never made this connection on guitar. I hope something brightens your day like you just did mine!
Wow, you totally made my day! Thanks so much!!
What he's really talking about is what is called a 'shell voicing' for chords.
You can look it up, I'm sure, but, essentially, it stems from the Root & 5th contributing the least to a chord's 'color', timbre, whatever term you want to use. So a jazz guy will build things around 1 - (b)3 - 7 AND drop the Root for 'busy' constructions. *Example:* the Root is very often omitted from a ninth (a true ninth, not add9).
@@JESL_TheOnlyOne - True. Especially on guitar -just try to get a voicing for all the notes in a 13th chord! Hey, here's a trick I discovered for blues chords. I voice them 1-V-b7, which leaves the third ambiguous, giving the singer or soloist room to play with that M-m dichotomy. Keep playing, brother.
@@onlyrick Look up Drop 2, Drop 3, Drop 4 voicings - most useful for guitar grips.
@@onlyrick Omitting the Fifth very often makes a 'power chord' (q. v.).
I watch a lot of guitar tutorials on UA-cam. You are an exceptional teacher
Thank you so much!
I agree! Mark is a really great teacher (and player)!
Thank you for this!
My pleasure! Thanks for watching!
love this stuff. keep learnin and keep it real. very nice!
Thanks!!
This is awesome thank you! 😀
Glad you like it!
Man this just blew my mind. I've been trying to teach myself some theory and basic rhythm concepts after just playing by ear for years and this is a huge help. Thanks!
Glad I could help! Thanks for watching!
Amazing... thank you so much for showing me that... I will definitely learn and keep that for future use... its so stupid easy, that even I can sound good! 🙂
Glad it was helpful!
Never disapointed man.....awesome !.
Thanks a ton!
I'd always wondered about that. Thanks man.
You bet!
Great tutorial. Many Thanks
Glad you liked it!
Great tutorial, that is so useful to know, thanks.
Glad it was helpful!
I love this thank you and being able to learn this great trick I’m 6 and a half minutes was a amazing
You're so welcome!
This is exactly how i need to learn. Via two notes & triads cause that's where i'm behind. This is a really neat trick to use. Love it. 👍
That is really a simple 2 note to get yourself playing all over the neck. I will have to watch this again tomorrow. Thanks
You bet. Thanks for watching!
great lesson
clear, concise, and uncluttered
good work \m/
Thank you so much!!
I found that out myself and use it all the time in some variations. :) Feeling good.
Awesome!
Great tip!
now that is slick thanks look 4ward to seeing more of your videos....
Thanks!
Wow. I've watched countless theory "explanations" on YT but this is the first one where I light bulb went on for me. Music is so much like learning a foreign language where fluency means more than knowing unconnected phrases, it's knowing how/why a phrase is constructed. I love the 2-note method, and now can see how learning triads can take me to a different level as well.
Glad you enjoyed the video! I do a lot of work with triads and "partial chords" on my channel, along with lots of other things. I didn't go to music school, so my "models" are often a bit different from others. Thanks for checking out my video and for the kind comment!
Just love your lessons!
Thanks so much!
Man that's freaking cool thanks for the video!
Glad you liked it!
ZZ Top stuff has lots of the "lazy" chords that sound so amazing but its very very easy to play.
Great lesson! Thanks for sharing.
My pleasure! Glad you enjoyed it!
Wonderful !! Thank you so much !!!
My pleasure. Thanks for watching!
That charvel Tele is awesome !
I just recently got the gateway guitar of shred guitars,a Randy Rhoades Jackson V and realized real fast that shred guitars can have good comfortable necks if they added a little roundness to them but the fret board is great and turned me on to a Jackson Dinky Floyd rose tremolo guitar and it's also awesome so yeah agreed shred guitars can be awesome for everything !
I like it! I wish they didn't always look so wild though! :) This one is pretty traditional looking, so I went for it.
Great explanation and formatted for beginner to skilled player !
Glad it was helpful!
Mark, you look nothing like a guitar monster, but you are. Love your vibe and you're teaching this aging dog some great new tricks.. And Danny Gatton!! Just wow.
Thanks!
Beautifully Explained!
Glad it was helpful. Thanks for watching!
NICE ! Thanks Andrew
You're welcome. Thanks for listening!
Thanks Mark you are great.
You're welcome. Thanks for watching!
Mark this is deffinetly up my allie .. iv played pices like this be for like 50 yr's ago but some how forgot that .... thank you so much
My pleasure. Thanks for watching!
Amazing. Thank you.
Glad you liked it!
Really useful information. Thanks
Glad it was helpful!
Great lesson. Thanks a lot. 👍👍👍
My pleasure! Thanks for watching!
Dude that is fantastic😀😀😀 thanks for sharing
Glad you enjoyed it
There is a video of Danny Gatton on you tube with him playing slide with an open beer bottle and then he keeps right on playing while using a towel to clean the beer off of his guitar. Some of the best and entertaining playing I have ever seen.
He was amazing.
Thank you for sharing this! (It also works great as a Chromatic 3-6-2-5-1 , where G (1) is on the 3rd fret, up to B on the 7th fret (3) down one fret E (6), down one more A (2), down one more, D(5), down one more G (1)...)
Yes, exactly - typical jazz blues turnaround sort of thing. And works with the tritone sub versions too. I didn't want to complicate this video with that, so I kept it short and just mentioned it near the end. Thanks for pointing it out!
@@MarkZabel Thank you! I like your teaching style.
That is really cool, Thanks Mark.
Glad you liked it!
Wow thanks for recommending Danny , what a player.
Subbed.
Thanks for the sub!
Ah yeah thee old Tritone! Did you ever see Danny Gatton plays slide with a full bottle of an open beer. Awesome stuff. Mr. Gatton takes a back seat to no one. 🎸☮️
Yes, one of his many tricks and amazing guitar acrobatic feats!
A Great one, Mark. Danny Gatton was definitely in a league of his own. Thanks for sharing! I came back for a refresher. I enjoy your videos and your laid back easy to understand teaching method.
The 3 & flat 7 is also why Tri-tone Subs work so well. They are the same 2 notes again that switch places, without moving.
So A flat 7 can sub for D7.
That's right. An Ab7 is basically a D7 with the bass note changed. If one leaves out the bass note ... well, you already told me the answer! Thanks for watching!
@@MarkZabel Thanks for responding. I just love talking about music and sharing little tidbits with each other. I've learned a lot that way. I hope I didn't come across as pushy or anything. I never mean to. I'd love to be able to Jam with you sometime. Your the kind of guy that I would enjoy just jamming with. Thanks again.
Mark is my favourite teacher hands down
Thank you so much!!
I got the same thing years ago from Rock and Roll by Led Zep. It blew my mind because it looks so wrong that it should work. It blew my mind even more when I took the time to work out why it worked! Nice one.
Thanks man! Yep, Rock and Roll by Zep uses this - exactly!
SO NICE!
Thank you! Cheers!
This channel imparts some of the best musical knowledge
Thanks Paul!!
This is awesome! Tks
Glad you like it!
Great tip thamks for sharing
No problem 👍
Kind of a funky jazz electric piano sound played on the guitar, very cool... Sped up it would sound like the main riff in "Jeff's Boogie" by The Yardbirds.
Beautiful guitar great video
Thanks Allan! I'm also really digging this Charvel guitar too!
Very cool!
Thx!
Glad you like it!
Cool. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching!
Very clever Mark! Will use!
Great!
Great lesson, Mark! Thanks. :)
Glad you liked it!
I learned that "two note wonder" from watching Angus Young. I use it all the time in blues progressions, especially a little half step slide up.
Great! Amazing how easy it makes jazz blues.
Mark,
Love that reverse headstock..... very cool looking.... This same pattern can be taken up to G and B strings to do the "skynyrd" style articulated bend.....by bending the G while also hitting the b string.
Cool idea, thanks! It actually works on every adjacent string pair - E/A, A/D, D/G, G/B, B/E. Best on the "bread and butter" or guitar IMHO - the D, G, and B strings.
@@MarkZabel
Yep. For a 3-note thing, the D,G & B in the Hendrix E7#9, A13 & B13 and easy enough to add the 6 string root.
Another great lesson
Glad you enjoyed it!
Amazing lesson!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thanks man!!! now to practice and not confusion. Danny WAS & Still is the best. saw him from his time with Liz Myers on., We always talked cars he dug his classic ford almost as much as his tele
Glad you enjoyed it. Danny was the best!
Wow! Gatton was great! Thanks for pointing him out! :)
My pleasure. He was truly amazing!
As an old (66) self taught bass player recently turned to 6 string, my musical theory understanding is rather quite limited. You were making my brain hurt with all the 1's 3rds 5th jargon. But when you played it I totally got it. Thanks for the tips !!!
Glad it came into place.
Yeah, it is based on triads, and fragments, you would have all of that from your bass playing
This use to make my brain hurt too- now it's easy. Simply count to 7- that is all the degrees of the major scale. 8 is back to the root or tonic note only one octave higher. The way the notes are in order is called steps that follow a formula. For the major scale it is simply this. *W W H W W W H.* It never changes. W or Whole step like C to D is 2 steps, H or half like B to C is 1. So in C Major, it is ---*C(1)*--- D (2) E(3) ---*F(4)*--- ---*G(5)*--- A(6) AND FINALLY B (7.) That's it. Eight would start over at C. These are the *DEGREES of the scale.* Most progressions are I, IV, V so in C that is simply C, F, G. They are all major. There are also 3 minor. It's really very simple once it clicks. I, IV, V are always major in the major scale.
Recall, the musical alphabet is e.g., C, *C#/Db, D, D#/Eb, E, F, F#/Gb, A, A#/Bb, B*, (12 notes aka Chromatic) and back to C- that is it. This is what you apply the formula to. That is exactly where the numbers are coming from. Most chords are triads (3 notes) so the 1-3-5 of that major scale. So in C it is simple C, E, G. To make a MINOR C chord, simple FLAT (or go down a Half step on the 3rd) and that's it. So C, D#/Eb, G are the notes there.
Print this out so you have a reference. You will find this formula and the musical alphabet (chromatic- 12 notes) very useful. This works in any key. Learn one, you have them all!
Also, 66 is not old- I skied everyday with 70+ year old's at Vail, Co/ who skied great. Many better than me and I was an instructor. They skied 100 days a season.
I hope this helps. Even it it is confusing at first glance, re-read it 10 times over as many days. One day, it will click I promise. That will be a very happy day for you my friend.
😀
