Totally agree Mark. Guitar solos need not be complicated to be good. They just have to be fit nicely within the chords. Love your videos. They are so informative and well done. As always thank you for sharing your work Mark.
Lindsey Buckingham was a great singer-songwriter-guitarist with a unique style, capable of Travis picking embellishments and searing electric leads. A legend for sure. I’m always amazed to hear so many speak about their favorites as “best ever guitarists”… an impossible and actually a naive look. Have they ever listened to Pat Metheny or Pepe Romero? Barrios’ La Catedral third movement? Rodrigo’s concierto Aranjuez? I’m on a rant here, but I like to think people like Lindsey contributed so much to the fabric of modern music.

Thanks for doing this. I am scoring an electric violin part to play this solo and had trouble picking out some of the notes. Your slow motion segment was perfect for that.
Nice Mark! My favorite guitar players are the ones that add value to a song without hijacking it. That includes Lindsay, Mike Campbell, and Eliot Easton.
Well said! For me David Lindley is at the top of that list too, but I love the ones you mentioned. They were never guitar heroes, because they let the music be the star. I love my Frampton and Hendrix and Cream and all, but I love a good song at the same time. To me, that's why the best "guitar heroes" really stand out.
You're very welcome, and thanks for watching. Great comment! Genuis? I don't know, but there's certainly something to what you say. The simplicity of a riff like the one in "Whole Lotta Love" or "Back In Black" or "Won't Get Fooled Again" along with at the same time being unique is certainly a rare skill!
Mick Ronson's solo on Suffragette city is as simple as it gets.. It's mostly a bending on the G string but it works like a charm.. Buckingham's playing is excellent, I don't get his detractors critics (more then likely pompous dudes).. His opening arpeggios on the ''Chain'', is epic and haunting..
Hi Mark, thanks again. As usual, the opinions are always divided between the skill and the craft, between the Mac of Peter Green and Lindsey, etc. One thing I can say is that I enjoy his heartful performances and his unique Rick Turner sound. I have seen some videos in which he's so engrossed that he doesn't stop (no pun intended) despite his bleeding fingers (Bass Performance Hall live).
Great lesson as usual Mark. Anyone daft enough to even say Mr. Buckingham is an overrated guitar player is what I like to call “wrong!” I guarantee anyone who says that hasn’t penned the number of hits he has not to mention creating some awesome and unforgettable guitar parts to go with them.
Thanks! I think there's some reaction to the (small) group of people who are raving fans and claim him to be as good as Hendrix, Clapton, and a few others. I understand how that could cause a small backlash. But yeah, he's not generally over-rated by any stretch of the imagination.
Hi Mark, congratulations on the video. I subscribed to your channel two days ago. You said to get the tab for this only there was the link below the video but if I understand you correctly you must have paid the annual fee corrected?
Hi Ferdinand. Yes, a sample of about 50 tabs are available by clicking the link in the description. If you want all of my tabs and backing tracks (plus a lot more) you can sign up for membership. Thanks!
Thats cool. Easy and fun at the same time. I just learned I Feel Free and Claptons solo is very easy but it sounds so awesome. I play it over and over lol, it rules. Do you do any drumming, Mark? I got Sam a Roland electronic drum set for Christmas and its on its way from Sweetwater. Im down to try my hand at it. Anyway, you got some wild hair going on 😆. Enjoy the day homie
Great lesson. Rick Beato mentions that the verse chords are E,D,A But the chorus chords are slightly different: E, *D/E* , A. In general, what are the implications when soloing over these two slightly different chord progressions? Also, I never would have figured out this difference between D and D/E, even though I've heard the song on the radio a million times. Is this something that one should be able to hear and identify? "Oh that is a D and that is a D with an E in the bass." When I listen to the song, I can't hear it. ☹
I haven't seen that Beato episode. For me, there wouldn't be any implications, and I doubt there were any for Lindsey either. I could be wrong about the latter though.
@@MarkZabel Thanks. Here is the time stamp to the 30 second clip:. ua-cam.com/video/cdbnLN_aZug/v-deo.html I recall your other lesson about drone note and modes. Will have to review it again. But I thought having a drone, such as *D/E* , might imply differen soloing. But I could be wrong. Perhaps it is up to the individual guitarist to decide whether the *D/E* versus just D changes his approach to soloing. The chords for the verse are E,D,A and the chorus is E, *D/E* , A. But it is not clear what rhythm chords are being played on the solo.

Mixolydian? The notes you played were straight out of the minor pentatonic (exception of the double stop slide out at the end) So not getting why you would consider it mixolydian. I'm not saying you can't see it that way, but for beginners it might be easier to see the top of the 2, 3, and 5 minor patterns with a good amount of vibrato and bending. :)
Thanks for the comment. The point for beginners is well taken, but I guarantee beginners are often confused by anything other than the standard blues-box minor pent. So probably I should have stayed away from it altogether. Such is life. Another approach is avoid thinking about scales at all. For beginners maybe just "over the A-blues chords you play blues licks and over the B chord you play the note B". That way beginners don't focus on scales or scale patterns. For more advanced players you'd note chord tones throughout instead - again, instead of scales or scale patterns. Regarding mixolydian. Yes, I believe I said *I think about it that way* or something to that effect. Mixolydian is my go-to for major blues and blues-rock, which has a dominant 7 tonality to it. It's really just playing a D-major scale over A7 and resolving on A rather than D. So it's not any more complex than a major scale. There's much more to it than that, but that's basically how I think about it theoretically. Either that (scale approach) or a more tonal approach or a melodic approach or a combination of the three. When playing of course I don't think about it at all. This song is simple enough to think, "Parent scale over E, D, A, chord tones over B" and it works reasonably well. That parent scale for me, in this case, was A-Mixolydian. So many roads that lead to Rome.
Part of the modern reason that folks like Rick Beato don't like Lindsey Buckingham is that he or his record label are serial copyright strikers. Rarely does any lesson on Lindsey's guitar solos go unstricken! I hope for the best for you Mark!
Ah, I see. We'll see what happens here I guess. For the record, it wasn't Rick who wrote what I put in the video. (Nor was he anywhere on that page, and I didn't know he doesn't like Lindsey Buckingham's playing). Thanks for the comment.
@@MarkZabel I'm not sure that he does or doesn't like Lindsey but he sure doesn't like his online behavior! Best of luck with this video Mark, and thanks for sharing it with us.
I really love your videos, you always inspire me to play more music. Today I made my first recording of an improvised solo. I would really appreciate if you have any feedback. Hope you are doing great, have a great day :)
If you want to avoid Sean Daniels heat, make sure to avoid saying “uh” at the end of every word that ends with a consonant-uh. I like Sean a lot-uh, but felt like I was getting hit with a cattle prod with every “uh.” It’s a regional accent-uh, like Lawrence Welk-uh. I should give the brother a break-uh, cause he’s a good dude and knows his stuff-uh. :) I’ll get back to him because of your mention-uh! :)
LOL! Yeah, I know what you mean about that. Ah, I was just hoping Sean would pick up on it, enjoy it, and then maybe throw me a bone. LOL! Seriously, I like Sean's channel and he does get heat for having his hair messed up ... for some reason.

Glad you enjoyed!
@@MarkZabel Thanks Mark. Could you teach the solo from Sing for the Moment by Eminem/Joe Perry, please?

Mucho good bruh
Thanks!
Lindsey B, banjo on Say you love me
Why type of pedal used to get that tone
Thank you.
Hi. I'm using a a little of amp reverb, and a tiny amount of compression. So a compressor pedal. I used a little gain from the amp too.
@@MarkZabel thank you great lesson....
Great job - thanks. Is that a Spark you're using? If so, is can you share your settings or Tonecloud download?
Thanks! Sorry, it's not a Spark. It's a Blackstar HT5 - a tube amp.

Hey Mark,
nice ro see you don't play a superexpensive Guitar.
How's the HB doing?
I traded it a while back. I liked it just fine (although it was a bit too heavy for me), but I didn't need another Les Paul style guitar.
