Same for me also. Not one either, but definitely a big fan of McLaughlin, since I found out about him way back in high school, in the early 70s, probably 1972 or by 1973, for sure. This type of illuminating lesson adds to my enjoyment. Thanks Felipe Coelho.

You really are a SUPERB guitarist! I agree that the rhythmic aspect and figures that he plays go towards encapsulating his style. The modal and scale examples are very well presented buts what’s missing is his wildness, his willingness to go outside the limits of modes and scales and keys. He is quite prepared to to play those rhythmic figures that you presented so well then just shift them sideways. The aggression is the other factor particularly in the Mahuvishnu days. He did lots of fierce string bending. Anyway thanks for a wonderful video. 🎸👍👏

First time I've seen someone other than the Mahavishnu himself talking about the way he counts. Its not like we learned at music school. I've had several years with his 'This is How I do It' videos and this is exactly what he continuously emphasizes. The counting. John is not just playing music, he is imparting his belief system through his music. He literally talks about it in interviews and those videos. The other thing is his fingerings. He uses his first and middle fingers for stretches, he does not often use his ring finger for fretting patterns with whole steps. This is an incredible lesson! Thank you.

Obrigado Felipe! Wow, that really stirred up the natives 😄 LOL What tremendous playing and not to mention your work to know and figure all that out. That's about the best take on John's playing I've seen or heard. I've followed McLaughlin since In a Silent Way and Bitches Brew, through Mahavishnu Ochestra and on and on. Had a great long hang with him when the 2nd MO played Christchurch, New Zealand. Talked for hours, he was interested in what I did which was classical guitar concerts...he said he love the Julian Bream 20th C. album etc etc, what a totally nice guy! Took me a while to relax I was so star struck! What a find your channel is, subbed, liked etc....You know your stuff man! Just one thing unless it's a state secret, what pick are you using ? Looks like a Jazz 111...but it's not the red one like JM uses. Looking forward to following your videos!

So from this, John uses economy picking whenever crossing strings? Does he definitely do that or is this your preferred way of playing the same notes? If he does, at what point in his career did he start using that technique? Great video!
@FelipeCoelhoGuitar5 ай бұрын
Thats my preferred way. But the occasion in which the economy is used covers I would say only about 10-15% of the notes. The rest, in case of even numbers on a string, one will alternate the picking normally
@SelfPropelledDestiny2 жыл бұрын
<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="377">6:17</a> Not sure what happened here, but you said D Dorian, then used C# as a chromatic approach to D. (Basically arpeggiating a Dm(maj7) chord. Maybe you were already anticipating the harmonic minor example?). Then suddenly at <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="402">6:42</a>, you're using C, and I can see the D Dorian aspect stepping up in fourths, ii V I IV. Not sure if you were trying to convey this (with the C# usage) but I wonder how it would sound to just use a half step into every chord
@FelipeCoelhoGuitar2 жыл бұрын
Good point bro. Harmonically should have been a C natural, but melocally if approximating the tonic one can always use the chromatic leading tone. But the idea of the phrase works with either one, C natural or C#. You are right, theoretically in dorian we would need C natural. Just used C# to have a strong gravity towards the root D
