    There are only a small number of guitar channels I follow because many don't cater to my needs, but Mark is one channel I would highly recommend because he always teaches the practical stuff people want to know, and he does it in such an exemplary way too.
    Cheers Mark, you are definitely one of the best! 🎸✊

      Anyone who tells you that you don't need to know any theory, is just trying to justify their decision to not bother. You can certainly get by without knowing any theory, but if you want to improve and sound professional, it's vital. ✌️🇦🇺

    Man I've been playing those passing notes and pedal steel tupe bends forever. Never knew I was doing Mixolydian tho I heard other guitarists in the 80s talk that lingo especially metal players. But, now I know why and where it works. While it's great to rely on your ear, knowing what works in D-A-G progressions adds to the confidence when jamming or building solos!

    Great lesson even though most of it is far above my skill level. The video before and graphics about 2:20 in is likely the information ℹ needed for the light bulb moment of finally understanding how to see the major scale. Over the last couple years I've started working on, butchering, the ABB. The minor pentatonic scale and blue notes are just not enough. Thank you for sharing your experience knowledge and passion with those of us trying to make music. BEST AND PEACE

    Great lesson Mark, Dead Flowers(Faded Pedals) is one of my favorite Stones song and the first ever guitar solo I learned, right there in the D major! Over the years, there were rumors that Gram Parsons had a main hand in turning on Keith Richard's to herion. Although I don't know if he did or didn't but I do know Gram Parson's was the main man for turning Keith onto Country Rock and im sure glad he did! 👍 🎸 🇨🇦

    • @MarkZabel
      @MarkZabel  10 днів тому +2

      Thanks! Yeah, I think they probably weren't good for each others' health. Kind of like Lennon and Harry Nilsson. But also, yes, Gram definitely influenced Keith musically, as he influenced many rockers in that way.
      I read somebody who described Gram's mission as "mixing rock and country, hoping to entertain people who liked one but were suspicious of the other." I love that description!

    • @MarkZabel
      @MarkZabel  10 днів тому +2

      Exactly. That's why I simply call Gram "the father of country rock" and get right to guitar. Very few people know of him, how influential or how damn good he was. (E.g., $1,000 Wedding, Brass Buttons, Streets of Baltimore, etc.). But Keith knew.
      There are very few weeks that go by that I don't listen to a cut or two from GP or Grievous Angel or Sweetheart of the Rodeo.

    Hey Mark... What is the best pedal to get that Allman Brothers sound? They don't use too much distortion. What do you recommend? Also what do you really recommend for a harmonizing pedal? Thanks in advance
    Pete

    • @MarkZabel
      @MarkZabel  11 днів тому +2

      Hey Pete. I mean this in all honesty - the best pedal for the Allman Brothers sound is to use no pedal. Try to get the sound with the guitar right into the amp.
      Duane tended to use amps with less headroom than Dickey, so his sound was a bit more saturated than Dickey's.
      Having said that you might want to have their lead tone at lower volumes. For that, the best thing would be an attenuator. However, you can also use a compression pedal. Be very, very careful with using too much compression though - it's a mistake I've made often and still do at times.
      Sorry, I don't know of any harmonizer pedals. I've only used my Zoom multi-pedal to do it once in a while. Works okay for me. The Boss Harmonist is probably fine.

    • @scottkingsley8037
      @scottkingsley8037 4 дні тому +1

      Compression is a game changer. It adds clean not just overdriven sustain. In fact my Wampler has a sustain knob and it is phenomenal for getting the tone and hold that builds confidence and touch feedback with your tube amp. For years I had no idea what it did. Now in my sets from David Gilmore to Dickey Betts it's an always on effect for the most part but, you have to use it sparingly. Pete Thorn pedal extraordinare probably describes how it works the best.

      @@PeteChurch-tz7bk Wampler Ego Compressor. 5 knobs- sustain, tone, attack, volume and blend. And they do exactly what they say. The blend knob is key too because it allows you to mix the compressed and direct signal to taste. So as Mark says not overdoing it. When you get it right it sounds natural not artificially "squishy" but, it cleans up your sound from bad overtones. I picked this one because I find it easy and absolutely quiet. But, there lots out there. Some swear by Boss but, I'm not a big Boss fan. My 2 cents. Have fun!

      Not exactly how it works, but give it a whirl. Don't use the "Super pentatonic" to start. Use the major pentatonic to start. Boring, but necessary to master simple things first.
