Thanks so much! Glad it's helpful.

if my left arm was painted on, it would only be a little less useful. BUT i'm not ever giving up and i forbid you to also.

Thanks! As long as you don't think there's an E-shape AND an F-shape, it's okay.

Thanks!

Awesome! Give it a whirl and have fun with it!

You're very welcome! Thanks for your kind note.

Glad you like them!

Any time! Hope you're having a great day Kris!

Oh yes. That thumb wrap takes a while to get down. I don't have large hands either, so it took me quite a long time. Still can't do it like Hendrix or Townshend.

Glad you liked it!

Thank you so much 😀

Glad you liked it!

Thank you! You too!

Yeah, that's a great suggestion. It's kind of a blend of Bernie Leadon, Mick on Dead Flowers, and Slash himself. (He uses that double-picking lick in there a bit.) Great suggestion. Might even do a "long" as well as a short, because I love the whole "trace the history" sense of the solo. Thanks for the suggestion!

@@MarkZabel very cool! I’m looking forward to this. For some reason I’ve had such a hard time with that second solo and it’s getting frustrating.

Thanks brother!

@@MarkZabel Thank YOU! Something infectious about your style makes me want to go practice!!!!!

Awesome, thanks!

No doubt!

Thanks. The idea is to match the guitar you're seeing, which many find to be less confusing. I've been finding more people like them this way. (I.e., looking toward the guitar rather than above the shoulder at it.) It's always a quandary. Just be aware I think of these things and of things that might solve or help solve them.

Agree with patrickfrancis7547. Please consider orientating the tab so it looks like I'm holding the guitar and looking down at the fret board. |-------------------------------------------------------------------------| |-------------------------------------------------------------------------| |----------------12--12\---------------------------------------------| |----5--5------12--12\----------------3~------------3~--------| |----5--5------10--10\------3-4-5------5-3-4-5------5------| |----3--3---------------------------------------------------------------| E|-------------------------------------------------------------------------| B|-------------------------------------------------------------------------| G|-------------5-3-------------5-3------------------------------------| D|----5--5---5-3-----5--5--5-3-----------3-------5--3----3----| A|----5--5-------------5--5---------3-4-5--------5-------5-------| E|----3--3-------------3--3-------------------------------------------|

Looks upside-down, from standard tablature. Rather confusing for learning guitar. It seems like a KZfaq thing,to reinvent the wheel, and give it a spin.

Agree, nobody has their graphics like this.

Mark, I love ur channel and you’ve taught me so much on guitar (thank you!)…but this lesson is confusing. Your first example in this exercise (3:54) you take an e shape chord structure and say you’ll use pieces of that chord…you then use notes not found in that chord. I think I understand the concept here but you don’t appear to be adhering to the principles you’re discussing. Or is it just me??

The first chord is for a 7-string guitar. If you mean X-10-7-7-7-X, then that's an add4 type chord. You could call it Dadd11\G if you'd like. The second chord, 6-5-5-5-5-x, is type of C9. It's all stacked 3rds. 1, 3, 5, b7, 9. The b7 is in the bass. So maybe call it C9\Bb. Again, you could call it many names.

@@MarkZabel Yes thanks, that is what I meant. What I was getting at also is Hendrix was starting to use Slash Chords so when playing pentatonic scale if you listen to the bass root notes that are mostly the slash root note or other than the tonic note. When the bass player is playing other than the tonic note it will put the pentatonic scale into a pentatonic mode or pentatonic substitution. Its very common for Hendrix bass lines to be different than the riff or chord of the song.

@@MarkZabel Hendrix also used stacked 5ths chords in the wind cries mary chord. I'm not sure what other rock band uses stacked 5th chords besides Hendrix, Grunge Bands like Nirvana, Soundgarden, Tool, and Death Metal Music, Which they use Drop D

You're welcome. AC/DC (especially rhythm parts) is a great place to start.

That works fine. Thanks!

Thanks for the feedback. Do you mean the way my guitar is facing or the diagrams or both? (Because they're both the same direction.) The link I'm pointing to is visible from KZfaq and KZfaq-friendly platforms like Roku. You're likely watching from a browser on your phone ... an Chrome on Android or Safari. If you watch on the app you'll see the link.

@@MarkZabel great thanks Mark. Indeed the way the diagrams are :). I'll check your vid out from the app. I was trying to see it on re-vanced. Again, great lesson bud 👍

Thanks!

Thanks brother! I appreciate it! Enjoy the tabs.

Thanks David. Yes, in this video I'm experimenting a bit with the diagrams - matching the guitar in my hands. The idea is that my hands match the diagrams so it's the same looking at either or both. I keep trying different things to see what people like.

Have an out of body experience and watch yourself, that's how I view i.t

I like it. The diagram matches what he is doing. For me, it helps me understand his point, then I can apply the concept. So (for me) it's fewer (literally zero) mental rotations or flips.

I like it.

@@tbonuss That's the theory on using the diagrams in this one.

I think this comment was directed at a non-guitar video.
