    Not too bad Zabel. 45-year guitar player here. First electric guitar was a mid-60's ES-335 12-string. Bought it at Richard's Guitar in Livonia, MI, $300, July 3, 1976 (honest to God; you never forget your first Gibson). But... I am a LAZY guitar player. If only I had UA-cam back in the day... I would be awesome today. Still a hack but getting better thanks to YOUR videos. Thank you Mark. Sir Winston of Locksley. Oh, never had 12 strings on that guitar, ever. The nut is 1-9/16, crazy narrow for a 12-string.

      Thanks Sir Winston! My first Gibson is the one you see in the video. 1982 ... last year they made them in Kalamazoo. Bought it new from Castiglione's Accordions on the east side of Detroit. Still remember the boxes and boxes of stuff - all stacked on top of each other. The opposite of any retail today and more like an attic. I bought a 335 because of ... Larry Carlton!

      In 1976 I bought my first Gibson Les Paul from Sam Goody's in Crabtree Valley, Raleigh NC - said the same thing about UA-cam that you did - if only I had it back in the day. God only knows where we'd be today.

      Thanks Larry! It's definitely one of my all time faves as well. I meant what I said - the decision to learn this on my own when I was 17 or 18 BT (Before Tab) was hugely helpful in my development as a player. I found this intro very inspirational!

      That's a good one and memorable, though Aja is too much jazz and not enough rock for my taste. I think it's Larry Carlton playing that, but Dean Parks is also on it ... and Walter Becker plays the solo on it. Thanks for watching and for the insight!

      LOL! Hey, when you're over 40, you've got to take care of your hands. Warm up and so forth. Trying to tie your hands into knots to play exactly what someone else played when a totally reasonable alternative that's much easier and healthier is available - that's for the young! :)

    Played for a few years then sold everything (i miss everything). This is '80.

    Along the way a LC bit. Buy a Memphis (please don't laugh) blk 335 type. Set neck. Good guitar.
    Did i get anywhere ? Nope Just wanted Room 335.

    At the end when you play it through it would have much better to have had the backing chords

    • @MarkZabel
      @MarkZabel  3 роки тому

      Thanks for the feedback. I get both requests so I balance the two. The backing chords obscure the sound for many, but for some they help to understand how chord tones are being used and/or how changes are being played through. I do both on the member's site, but for UA-cam it kills the algorithm to do both. I switch back and forth. It also depends upon the availability/cost of obtaining the backing track and/or the difficulty of making it myself.
