Every lesson of yours I tune in to, I have one or more "oh, wow" moments, fundamental things nobody else thought to teach that help my playing. Thanks!
He has so many solos in songs that sound so different is amazing. Sometimes you don't know it is him if you don't know the song. Great lead and rhythm.
Nice one - Michael Schenker’s rhythm playing is so overlooked - his speed and precision can be incredible. “Love To Love” is another great example of his use of this two-note / power-chord approach, from his UFO days ...
Never heard them called Schenker chords before or been attributed to him - they're found all over in rock music and form the basis for major and minor third harmony composition. Desert Song and Love To Love are probably Michael's most recognisable songs that use this technique - also the little sequence in Lights Out at the start, played over the F# root. Always recognised that Savatage / Morphine Child sounds exactly like the same E minor third harmony diad sequence as these two Schenker songs.
I’ve come to realize over the years that the majority of the players whose lead work we love are all great rhythm players as well. Hendrix, Rhoads, Van Halen, Schenker, Lynch, Jake E. Lee, just to name a few
Thanks for the interesting video 🙂. [Completely off topic: as a Brit I noticed the flag on the tee is upside down. The difference between up and down is quite subtle so we don't expect others to spot it! ]
Wow.... I have no idea! I just bought this cool Beatles tee... had no idea! Thanks for watching! I know a US flag displayed upside down is a distress signal. Is it the same with the British flag? Thanks for watching!
@@ClassicGuitarRockJFL Well I didn't know about an upside down US flag being a distress signal! I don't know if it's the same for the British flag because one would likely find it somewhat tricky to spot the difference at a distance. The key thing is to notice the diagonal crosses: they are white and red. The red diagonal cross isn't exactly centred on the white diagonal cross, so it appears to have a thick white border and a thin white border. When the flag is the correct way up you should see the thick white border uppermost in the top left (i.e. the side closest to the flagpole) as you look at the flag. And when the flag is upside down, like on the tee, you get the thin white border uppermost in the top left. Lol, fun trivia in a Schenker video 🙂
Can you call out the string letter and then the fret numbers,, it would make it clearer , just seperateing number number. This is a great look in to how the added tension of mayor minor is being implied by diad chord's.
this guy turned a 1 min lesson into an 8 min snoozfest. It is a good lesson. George Lynch makes use of these major/minor diads in the Dokken song "So Many Tears".
@@ClassicGuitarRockJFL It was a good lesson (a bit lengthy IMO). Most of your lessons are really good. I guess if I were a day one beginner who didn't know the difference between major and minor (a 3rd and a flat 3rd), I would have appreciated it more.
People just love Billy Gibbons - that’s how l found your channel (although actually the UA-cam algorithm found me!). You’re bound to get a lot of subs as a result - keep up the good work 👍
@@ClassicGuitarRockJFL I think at 6:18 it would have been cool to explain that when we slide the D down on the 5th string is becomes the maj 3rd of the 4th string A, specifically, at first I was guessing you meant D becomes Maj or D becomes A major,, :scratching head: But I sorted it out, right after that. For years, I had assumed sliding the D down a half fret became a flated 1 of 'that' D chord lol, I didn't realize that we suddenly go from D to A , this is one of the coolest tricks , one that I use a lot in my playing though I hadn't really what was actually happening. Sliding down that one note becomes the 3rd of the fifth , whereby (the fifth) becomes the Root of A. See what I did there, I made it a lot more confusing than it is. : { :) So yeah, thanks for the tutorial, good content.
🔥🔥🔥🔥🎸🎶🎵 Thank you! Loved this. Great lesson and some Schenker-style all at once! 🔥🔥🔥 🤙🏼☮️🏄♀️
Every lesson of yours I tune in to, I have one or more "oh, wow" moments, fundamental things nobody else thought to teach that help my playing. Thanks!
Thank you so much! I’ve learned everything I know the hard way - by making lots of mistakes! 🤘
He has so many solos in songs that sound so different is amazing. Sometimes you don't know it is him if you don't know the song. Great lead and rhythm.

Yes Love to Love is very similar to Desert Song in the way he uses these little diads. Thanks for watching!
Thanks! 👍🏼

Yep used forever by lots of peeps. I call them Schenker chords cuz he uses them a lot.

Absolutely. It's really two jobs in one. Dimebag is a good example too
Came for the billy gibbons chord lesson, stayed for the pod cast. Loving that stuff.
Awesome! Thank you!

@@ClassicGuitarRockJFLalways ynderstood that an upside down US flag was a right-wing racist thing.
EVH threw this into his playing as well. Eddie did so many other things in his playing that you don't notice it as much, but it is there...
Michael fucking Schenker. Yea
Dave Mustaine uses these types of chords too. Check out Holy Wars rhythm sections.

Wow...I love the way this guy explains things. Thanks for the clarity, subscribed!

Great Lesson thanks I have just subscribed
Thanks Anthony!

They use these guitar chords in Swedish death metal
how long did it take u to almost learn to maybe really play [ emplies ]
You use a capo don’t you…
Coast to Coast is played with dyads.
Absolutely! Perfect example!
lol
I thought this was going to be Michael
telling us about his chord hack.. :{
:]
Sorry... you only got me! 😀 Thanks for watching!
