It was for a mid level Guitar (Till all the Fret Markers fell out of their holes) All fell out at the same time it was the queerest Guitar issue I have ever had in my life time. I played it one day just fine, the next day every Fret Marker just fell out its hole. It's like the glue was on a timer and DING done!!

Lol The Last half of the Video is all about my Gear and setup. Details of Equipment used and all the settings in the the Patches used that I made for each part of the song. The Gear is all outdated now. But it is in the last part of the video. Thank You so very much for your kind words. I honestly do not know what Gear Elvin used I just made my Patches to match his sound the best I could.

i would say its really 2:34

Your Welcome

Thank you

+alexander Kato Thanks I'm Glad you like it. Lol I'm not that good of a guitar Player. I love this song so I worked hard to play it. I made this lesson for others that may love it to. It is not a note for note lesson. It is how I play it at this time in my Guitar Life. I am Happy You like it. Play it Learn it. Jam to it. Your going to love it. It's not that hard as long as you keep at it. I DID IT You can to. Jam On

+MarksGuitarLounge Hey there! Yes, you are a great player a because you have a great ear and I learned this song when I was 15 years old and giggin and it was my ear that made me a natural without ready tabs and such. I can hear by your lesson and how you played it that you have the same gift as I. I did get into music theory in high school but it is my ear that always wins over, that was a long long time ago now and I play the guitar for my own enjoyment and gig out very rarely with respect to invitations from bands who call me out when they're giggin. Remember, play it with felling! peace out! Kato

Your so right it would take a Awesome singer to sing this song lol Yes The Guitar was a IBANEZ AM93 I agree. My tone for this was a darn good tone patch I made for this song. Thanks for talking with me ROCK ON.

Man Thank You very much it don't get any better then that.

Thank You very much

I still use mine too I have the Helix and a 500 but I use the XT Live lol

Sorry it took me this long to reply This guitar is nice but It is not IMO a grate guitar, Go with the SG I have 2 SG's and That is the way to go. This Ibanez has been dumped to the retirement ben after most all of the Fret markers fell out. That's right they started falling out at the same time about year 3.

Thank you very much hope it's as fun for you as it is for me to play.

Ha, me too - Unreal version that is!!!

Kenny Scarborough Thank you Sir

@5:00 In the Video I Give all the Gear and Settings. @5:30 In the Video I Give the Guitar Info it is a Ibanez AM93 Sad to say The quality of the Guitar I had was flawed and every Inlay in the Neck fell out from the glue letting go all at the same time within a month of the 1st all were out. I loved this Guitar but it is not a well made, I have never had a Guitar do this to me.

+Dave Levine Thank you for the heads up I can hear it and was not sure if it was an organ or 2 guitars I picked one way of doing it for myself. I've been asked about this before and was never sure what the right way was. Thank you

Thanks Nealix D. Mickey has a Great Voice. I only wish I could Sing at all. Thank You Sir Jam On.

Thank you chrysafis

Elvin got credit because he wrote it,Mickey sang it with Elvin's Band originally.

Isn't Mickey Thomas the one singing it too?

Tanner Reichard Yeah,with StarShip.You know,"We built this city", StarShip.

Mickey was Elvin's backup singer at the time this record was recorded. Elvin didn't want the tune on the record, but his producer talked him into it. Elvin didn't think his voice was right for the tune, so he asked Mickey to sing it. ...You can thank the producer and Elvin for giving Mickey the limelight he deserved, but to say Elvin got the credit makes no sense: it's his song. And yes, Mickey knocked out out of the park!!! I can't think of anyone better suited to sing this. : ) I think this is one of the best bluesy pop songs ever. Definitely one of the tastiest guitar leads on a hit song, IMO.

Sometimes the Shortest comments are the best. That's an awesome part in the song. Thank you

No I made all of them from the start for this song and it took forever to do I must of tweak each one for a good year before getting what I could listen to and feel like it was good enough for me to be happy with. I have to say I still love the Pod XT Live and I have the newer ones too but I am still using the old one. Thank You If I didn't understand your Question right let me know.

Thanks Mark, and keep up the good music

Simon Kaye My amp is always set on clean but this as all my stuff is patch driven with the Pod XT Live. At the end of the video I show the setting for all 3 tone patches this video was recorder with a computer so no amp used to make the videos.

MarksGuitarLounge The chord is an Am7. You have the 1, b3, 5, b7 intervals of the Am scale. 1 = A b3 = C 5 = E b7 = G Hence, Am7 : )

+BHAKTI BROPHY You can write tons of books on what I don't know about Guitar I play by Ear only That was very helpful Thanks

MarksGuitarLounge Hi Mark! You are welcome. I started playing in 1977 and ONLY played by ear until my neck broke in 2005. I was no longer able to play and write songs like I used to, so Steve Vai actually inspired me to figure out how to continue writing and recording, so I threw myself into theory for three years. It helped tremendously. Now I can write the things down that are in my head. I also taught theory to the dev of the app CHORD!, which I use daily. (I did it for free, I don't get kick backs. I just helped him out in certain areas.) I recommend using the "reverse" lookup button on the app if you are ever curious what the name of a chord is. By the way, I was not trying to be egotistical by letting you know the name of the chord, just helpful. Thank you for this great lesson, by the way. You are a wonderful guitarist and a great teacher. Be well! : )

+BHAKTI BROPHY I Liked Your reply It was very Helpful Never thought for one min it was anything but you being a Wonderful person (The Best Kind to Run into on the WWW) I wanted to know what it was as much as the Guy asking lol Thanks Again for That. I will check out the App CORD I think I could use that so Thanks for turning me on to that. Awesome job helping out with that, I feel No matter what level we are on with Music It makes me feel Happy inside to do what I can for Free to PAY IT FORWARD for the help I find on the WWW from others. I'm Happy for you that you can now Write again Music is a JOY. I'll tell you a secret about My Ability Playing Guitar lol I have to Work So hard at it and Practice to get to the level I am in this Video I think I had to Play this thing 5,000 times to get it down as good as it looks in the Video. I ENJOYED every Minute Of it. I will check out CORD and your Advice for it. Steve Vai Is a Guitar GOD lol What Joy he must feel inside when he Plays Guitar. It has to be 1000 times more then the JOY my Ears hear. You Honor me with your complement about being a great teacher. I truly don't feel like it. I'm just try hard to do it the way I want to see it done. God Bless you for your words. Keep Writing Never Stop the JOY Think it Feel it Write it. Be Happy :)

+Greg Smith Thank you so much Fun song to play Read the posts below from others that will give another version of the Intro cause I didn't get it 100% as the recording I like it when other help out so Try it my way then the other ways and use the version you like. JAM ON

In the Video at 5:40 the Intro tone Patch I made is given using the gear and software that is now outdated but still out there. It's all made with Line 6 Gear and I show all the settings with the gear used.

My Middle finger on the low E string mutes the A string so it's dead

JR Cyberpastor Thanks for your wonderful words and I am so happy you like what I did with this. It's without a doubt one of my all time favorite songs. I think you should buy whatever gives you the Most JOY when you play it. Try out some guitars at a guitar shop first, Don't base your purchase on looks but the Joy the Guitar gives you when you play it. Always listen to you gut reaction when and after you play it. If you have great joy when you play it, you will always come back to it. Nothing worse then a guitar you don't get any joy from. Gear is such a big diverse field you just need to start educating yourself on it and that's not easy to do. I'm a Huge Line6 fan and knew nothing about it when I got my first unit. I got so upset thinking I was never going to understand it, But hard work and diving into it over and over helped me get the hang of it. I don't know where your from but If you were close to me I would say just come on over and we will play and have fun NO CHARGE. I'm not the teacher kind of guy for making money from someone so please forgive me I put out free lessons like this and that's what gives me JOY. I WISH KZfaq was around when I was a kid. This is my small way to pay it forward for God's gift of Guitar Fun he put inside of me.

MarksGuitarLounge Turn down the recording so we can hear "You", play. I'm no Randy Rhodes on the guitar but, I swear your fingerings, and chord changes are lagging the true artist , just a wee bit. One last ? You ever take that axe on the road,cause it sure is shiny? I don't see any real,road wear on it.

Ease up Jon Mark offers a great FREE help and service. Matters little to me whether he is a road warrior...more important he is trying to help guitarists...not staking a claim as 'the man'. I enjoy what he is willing to share.

Jon Starr I welcome all comments I'm NOT the best guitar player and I know it but I do not agree with you on the volume of my Guitar in this video. What you here is me you can make out the recorded guitar of Elvin Bishop in the back ground I made sure my guitar was louder. If you don't believe me that's okay I made this for other guitar players that want to learn the song as I did. I do not go on the road because I have no need to. I have a great job and it pays my bills so I play Guitar for fun and the joy I get from it. Be cool Jon Jam out and have fun. I'm cool with what you said and it's okay if you don't believe me. I make my videos like this, 1 Play and record the song 1st 2 play it again with the Camera on recording the video part. I make sure I play it the same way both times. I over dub the 2 recorded guitar tracks to the video one on the right one one the left. My video software lets me line up the video to the the played note at the time it is struck to sink each together. When it converts it to upload to KZfaq's format this is where my video gets downgraded from great quality to good quality IMO. I have to try to do a better job at this part of the game but It gets the job done for me. Thanks for commenting Jon Starr. Love your last name.

JR Cyberpastor Thanks JR Cyberpastor God Bless
