Great rendition of those classic melodic rock solo's of the '70s and '80s...and now I can actually play it right, but the phrasing is the key to this solo, Thanks!!😊
@@MarkZabel Brother April Wine opened for Molly Hatchet that year and I saw that concert as well a a month later the Cars with a little know band named Nick Gilder whom opened for them, recall Hot Child in the City? of course right.
Molly Q#$%#$@% Hatchet. Gotta do Flirtin' With Disaster sometime. A little more work than this one!! Nick Gilder? Yes, of course I remember that song ... nothing else from him though.
Only 5 min in and I know I can do this.your detailed explanation is incredible the best I've seen.i just subscribed and about become the player I've tried to be for 26 years of farting around on a guitar . Now off of this one instruction video I'm about to kick ass. Thank you for having the paitence and ability to teach like this.thank you thank you thank you..
Played these solos a long time ago, then let 'em slip away. Thanks for the refresher course that I needed badly! It's amazing how if you put just one note in the wrong place, out of time, the whole thing gets ruined. Go back and play it with the actual recording, and you'll pick up the little nuances you don't hear when playing it isolated.
@@MarkZabel Don't get me wrong. I didn't say YOU misplayed it. I was giving some unsolicited advice to people like myself who have played lots of things wrong over time. I had to watch "I Feel Fine" on video 100 times before it dawned on me that I was playing the riff in the wrong position. It wasn't just different guitars (mine were Gibsons), it was the fact that playing it in the wrong position on the neck affected the tone.
Great lesson man Seen this band at least 3xs in summer rock fests n stuff. Its amazing their apeal has spread as far as it has, just a lil rocknroll outfit from nova scotia that wrote some great riffs. Dang you got some nice axes mark. I dont think ive seen this one before. Sounds sweet. Thanks for all ur work and the Canadian nod too, that was cool
Haha! Really man?? I'm sure you've seen this one before ... it's kinda my main ax! No worries though, I *do* have a lot of 'em ... too many really. But definitely this is one of my faves - this, my 335, and maybe my CP Thornton Strat (the red one). Thanks for the kind comment. Really appreciated!
Wow Mark. This song was huge up here in the eighties. Especially as April Wine was based out of Montreal during this period. Steve Lang, the bass player's niece was a grade ahead of me in high school(this was in the mid eighties). I remember listening to a lot of April Wine in the late 80s and early nineties. Brings back a lot of great memories. Thanks Mark!
Thanks Mark!! I thought it would have been 70's and 80's, but maybe locally it wasn't. In the US we basically heard "Roller", "I Like to Rock", and this one. Too bad, because they had a penchant for nice, musical riffs. I *have* to find the one with the 335!!
Very nice Mark, I recently learned the chords & now have the solos. Just some trivia, Myles Goodwyn's mom grew up near where I live & he has family in the area. Performs here with his blues band from time to time. :)
My pleasure. I always liked it too. Sort of a laid back solo, which I think makes it memorable. Those are the stock pickups. Gibson mini humbuckers redesigned in 2011 or 2012. They look like Firebird pickups, and they have blades rather than pole pieces. I find they're pretty close to the normal Gibson mini humbuckers ... maybe the bridge is a tiny bit hotter.
Have you broken down Tony Peluso's solos from "Goodbye to Love?" The second solo is really great, and it took me forever to learn both of them. The chord structure of the song itself adds a degree of difficulty.
That solo sounded SWEET! Very cool. Hey Mark. If you ever get the chance, could you do a video on what equipment you think is absolutely necessary for a 4 piece band (guitar, bass, drums, singer) to play in a small venue (coffee shop, bowling alley, sports bar, backyard party, etc.) and actually sound like a professional band and not just another dime a dozen noisy/muddy/loud amateur garage band? There are so many of us who've never done anything other than play our guitar through a practice amp at home and who'd like to take that next step and play in a band at a small venue, but many if not most of us aren't gear heads and have no idea what we absolutely for sure need (and don't need) to actually sound professional. Things like PAs versus amps (or in addition to amps), monitors, microphones/stands, cables/cords, tape, ear plugs, pedalboards, mixing boards/racks, tuners, lights, backup gear, etc.. Maybe in this day and age there is a super easy way to do this kind of thing via devices/new technology that really minimalizes what you need or maybe there's a time tested old school method that can't be beat. I just have no clue. It seems so overwhelming and like there's so much equipment that's needed that I simply sigh and realize it's no wonder most of us remain at home only solo players all our lives. Still, I've had plenty of friends who've played in bands so I know it's not an impossible achievement, but I really don't want to sound as loud/sloppy/messy as they do on stage making even their closest friends/relatives run for the exits and/or cover their ears while making ouch faces. Any help (understandable easy to comprehend help for a non gear head) would be wonderful. Oh, and another subject to address might be something that most local cover bands I see don't do and that is to actually have at least one ounce of stage presence/showmanship and a song set list that people actually get excited about and dance to.
Look at what the Beatles used in '63 and '64. If you need more than that, you are overdoing it in a smallish place. Nobody plays dry any more, and as an upgrade you can use some FX pedals, but sparingly. You want the audience to hear the MUSIC, not the gimmicks. Get the sounds/volumes you want BEFORE you pack for the gig. Scout the size of the venue in advance and pick up on the room acoustics.

How about April Wine's 21 st Century Schizoid Man or I Like to Rock! BTW the music video for I Like to Rock was filmed at the famous Le Studio aka Rush's Abby Road, that video was shot 1 year before Rush shot the video for Tom Sawyer. Shame and pity what became of Le Studio. Oh almost forgot about one of my favorite April Wine songs Sign of the Gypsy Queen!!
I Like To Rock and Sign of the Gypsy Queen are awesome. I'd be happy to put I Like To Rock on the list. Gotta be honest with you on 21st Century Schizoid Man ... like King Crimson's original version more, though April Wine's is good. It's pretty much the same but with different guitar solos I think. Happy to do a part or two of the original if you'd like - just let me know what part(s) you're most interested in.
@@MarkZabel Both versions are awesome!! I've seen this song played so many different ways I've lost count so if you' would do a lesson on the main riff up to the end of the first verse that would be Great as that would cover a majority of the song. For those that don't know King Crimson are the Father's of Progressive Rock that featured Robert Fripp on guitar along with Greg Lake (later with Emerson, Lake & Palmer) on bass. As for April Wine they had a bunch of great songs back in the 70s and 80s, one of their engineers was Terry Brown who later was the producer for Rush's first 7 or 8 albums. Another band from the Great White North that doesn't get the mentioned or the love they deserve (at least on UA-cam as far as someone doing lessons) is TRIUMPH, Rik Emmett is an AMAZING player!!! We gotta keep these older songs and bands in Alive!!
@@jdj62464 Yeah, sounds good! Also, Rik Emmett is not only an amazing player, he's very accessible and a great teacher IMHO. I did a lesson on Fight the Good Fight here: ua-cam.com/video/k9FOfYusGS0/v-deo.html

Awesome. Exactly what I was going for. I was a few years later, but still remember this like yesterday.

Great Lesson Mark. You really broke down the main solo down into understandable phrases. One of my sticking points to this song...Thank you
Thanks a bunch Robert!
Excellent breakdown and explanation of a very classic riff...Great job. Enjoyed it.
Glad you liked it!
Great solo. Doesn’t get talked about enough
Great lesson man

@@imannonymous7707 Thanks man. I feel I earn every dollar I make for sure. But I've been fortunate in life too.
Learning this for my band. You saved me a bunch of time. Thanks!
Glad I could help!
This was my wedding song. Paid the band an extra $50 to learn it for the wedding.
Very cool!
"Not that difficult" - except getting the bends to pitch like you say at 12:30, that's where the practice comes in! ;) I love the C to Em chord change
That's a fair point.
Wow Mark. This song was huge up here in the eighties. Especially as April Wine was based out of Montreal during this period.

I meant that Steve Lang, who was the bass player....his niece...Darn typing on a phone...LOL
Just checked out this video on YT. There is a live version from '82 and the lead guitar parts are played on a Gibson ES-335. Nice.
LOL!
Thanks Mark!! I thought it would have been 70's and 80's, but maybe locally it wasn't. In the US we basically heard "Roller", "I Like to Rock", and this one. Too bad, because they had a penchant for nice, musical riffs.
I *have* to find the one with the 335!!
April wine is from Waverly n.s. I grew up down the road .I used to listen to them practice in garage down the road. They played my brothers jr high.
I love that song!
Me too!
Excellent! Thanks for the tabs. Thanks for sharing!
My pleasure!
Real nice Mark thanks!
Thanks a ton Pete!
Great song! Those mini humbuckers sound awesome! Great lesson👍

Awesome solo Mark... Navy Mark...
Thanks Navy Mark!
Awesome vid! Keep it up 👍
Thanks, I will!
Another fantastic lesson. Since you're doing April wine youh should do sign of the gypsy queen. Great job you're the best
Thanks Teddy. Lots of people suggesting Sign Of The Gypsy Queen ... I'm putting it on the to-do list.

That was a pretty cool song. Thanks once more. What pickups are those on the Les Paul?

Have you broken down Tony Peluso's solos from "Goodbye to Love?"
The second solo is really great, and it took me forever to learn both of them. The chord structure of the song itself adds a degree of difficulty.

Sounds good. Let me stew on this for a while. I'll be without a guitar for the rest of the month so plenty of time to think.
Look at what the Beatles used in '63 and '64. If you need more than that, you are overdoing it in a smallish place.
Nobody plays dry any more, and as an upgrade you can use some FX pedals, but sparingly. You want the audience to hear the MUSIC, not the gimmicks.
Get the sounds/volumes you want BEFORE you pack for the gig. Scout the size of the venue in advance and pick up on the room acoustics.
