When you stop and think about this song in its entirety, it tells me that Eddie Hazel's guitar experience was quite extensive and in-depth. One doesn't just pickup a guitar and begin playing with such complexity in-terms of careful thought of arrangement of notes played. I wonder who taught him during his early years of learning and development? I do know from my research that he and childhood friend Billy who was learning to play bass guitar, learned from each other. Also, I discovered that Eddie started learning how to play at approx age 12 or 13, and at age 17 his Mother gave him permission to play and travel with Parliament (the Doo Woop) vocal group, whom would later become Parliament-Funkadelic. Great tutorial posted, I can and do REALLY APPRECIATE the time, energy and effort it took to do so. Lastly, like many of you fellow guitar players and aspiring players, I too, am determined to learn how to play and and master this song, and in doing so, I'm sure that it will provide creativity in other areas to come. Thank you 🎶🎼🎸💥🔥🎵🥂🙏🏿 Btw, I'm age 69, so when the Maggot Brain album was released I bought the album. This album was a major force in Black music. Much 💟 Jason Reed 👍🏿
In the early seventies when this album was released I had the pleasure of partying with Eddie and George after a show. They were pure class!
@@kukukonwow ! That’s got to be a one in a lifetime experience also ,Could you tell us how they were like ?? I could imagine how amazing they were
for those who can just watch and learn and don't need the explanations, he plays more of the solo at 9:30
Andrew Kussmaul thank you so much m8
Thanks in advance
One day....
Late 30s here. Heard this song for the first time about 15 years ago. Been in love ever since. Its one of those that only guitar players seem to know about.
it's weird that I can only find 2 other songs that has the same vibe ("Wayne" and "Before the beginning" by John Frusciante). Being such a legendary guitar solo song, I'm shocked not many other guitarists has created similar kind of songs.
I heard this song 1 or 2 years ago and I completely fall in love with it, it has this weird aura that no other song that i've ever heard has its just excellent
legit changed my life when i heard it for the first time while on acid. One day i hope to be a 10th of a guitar player as Eddie Hazel.
A brilliant tutorial!!! I bought this album when I was 11 in 1972 and it is one of my most played albums..... I was intrigued by the cover and it played a major part in influencing me to switch from Cello to guitar..... In a way though you sort of can't learn it as it has to come from your soul....
Good old Eddie Hazel - massively underrated..... My son is called Edward!!
Fantastic song and lesson, Jason! Definitely one that needs to be taught and learned in small chunks. As they say, "Mighty oaks from little acorns grow." Thanks again!
elfhermie very true!
This is the best lesson on how to play Maggot Brain, no other lessons are detailed as this one, thanks for sharing how to play Maggot Brain
I need 3 years to learn this
😅😅😅😅
It's not that hard. It stays mostly in the same position. Don't let it scare you.
@@Erickhetfield i gave up guitar and music in General gg
3 years to come anywhere close to the same feel of the original maybe. Or just play like your mother just died.
Do it bro !! ...is not that hard
This is perhaps the clearest look at this song, thanks a lot!
A testament to how loved this song is. In the past 6 months only 1 other song comes close to the number of views for Maggot Brain. (no one can deny the power of the Jackson family). Jason, your song choices are amazing and fresh.
Only found this channel for the first time today….Thank you TH-cam algorithms and thank you Jason great range of song lessons 👍
OMG!!! I didn't even think other people knew this Song!!! Mate, you are sooo cool bro!! Bless, bless, bless...
Maggot Brain charted in the R&B Top 20 in 1971. Rolling Stone magazine includes it in their top 500 albums of all time. Pitchfork named it the 17th best album of the 1970's. Funkadelic are inducted in the Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame. _MILLIONS_ of people know this critically acclaimed song!
So glad I stumbled across this lesson, much thanks!
I cannot get enough of this song!
Happy new year, thx for this
Thank you so much bro! this is my favorite song!
It will be great if u upload tabs for this song under the video, pleeeease
You helped me a lot, man! Thanks!
A great song to loop and play over the top of thanks Jason
Cheers. I've made a jam track. It's on my channel.
Lovely mate! Going to learn this song for my first one getting back into guitar... been 13 years... gonna be rough a bit lol
Tis all good learning the licks (thanks Jason for this comprehensive lesson) but end of the day Maggot Brain was an emotional jam by Eddie, imagining as George Clinton suggested that his mother had just died. If your going to play this tune, I think the best most honest way is to feel it and let what ever comes come.
This is true. Once you understand what Eddie Hazel is doing you should totally do your own thing, but it's worth looking at what he did because he did it so brilliantly.
six months later i'm finally going to part 2, thanks a lot
Thank you for this tutorial, this was so easy for my first song to play !
Great lessons!! Maggot Brain is #1 for me

Congratulations Harry, you're a shred wizard! 😁😁 thanks for the lesson!
You're welcome :)
awww yeaaaaaah! this is what I needed!
I love you man! Thank you for being awesome and for having an ear to give us the details! I feel like I'm learning from the late Eddie Hazel himself! I appreciate your gift. Thank you for sharing it with us.
Cheers. I need to catch up and do the finals parts soon!
You are just too cool! I can tell you love what you do and the people you do it for. Thank you for responding. I'm thriving to be great like you. We all are!
Thanks buddy :)
Gr8 lesson, it's the solo I need to learn since I used to play rhythm guitar to this back in the late 70's and had a friend who could play like Eddie Hazel, Mike Hampton & Al Dimeola practically note for note.
Now wouldn't mind a lesson on the solo's on Red Hot Mama and the live version of Cosmic Slop from the Hardcore Jollies album, keep up the good work.
Thanks. Added to my list.
You legend. Been waiting for a proper tutorial on this for years
michael larder thanks. I’m up to part 5 now. Just a few more parts to go!
Jason Read - Guitar Lessons there's enough to keep me going for now then. I really appreciate you taking the time and effort to do this. You make it easy to follow aswel. Keep it up pal
Cheers Michael :)
It's amazing how much Eddie was able to get out of that one pentatonic shape!
Thanks for this
Thank you, awesome
So fantastic
Thank you!
Thanks!
Thank you 🙏
Nice bro 🖤
Now you're playing in the big leagues!!!
il Solano scary!!!
Grazie ancora a te ok x le Lesson Ciaaaaoooo
😋😃😁🤗😐
Can't believe I have never heard of this tune before (I am of the age when I was listening to similar bands when this song came out in the early 70's). Great tune. Really enjoyed your lesson - great tone and feeling in your notes - I am trying hard to emulate! Look forward to your next installment!
Zane, glad you found this awesome tune! Another one you might like to give a listen to (also by guitarist Eddie Hazel) can be found here on youtube tif you copy/paste: Axiom Funk - Pray My Soul w/ Eddie Hazel. Great stuff!
Thanks Zane :)
Wow. Very moving piece. Did a bit of reading up on Eddie Hazel - rather tragic story. Thanks for enlightening me! I appreciate it.
When they were recording Maggot Brain, George Clinton sat Eddie down in the studio with the track in his headphones and told him to play like he'd just been told his Mother had died, and then part of the way through play like he found out she was alive after all.
Can you please do a lesson on Pray for my soul??? or the solo " From the bottom of my soul" ?? they are both played by Eddie Hazel
thankyou so much
Thank you so much for the detailed and clear lesson! Could you please do a lesson for "Good Thoughts, Bad Thoughts" Funkadelic? I can't find the tabs or lessons anywhere on the internet.
Cheers. I'll check it out :)
Awesome!!!
SHARKVADERS thanks! Sharkvaders - great name! :)
Thank u so Much!
You're welcome :)
Wow thank you
this is so fucking clean
thank you so much man. this song has deeply touched my soul and i would be struggling to learn it if not for you. i can only imagine how difficult it was to do this. on a side note if you get the opportunity could you do a video for Axiom funk- pray my soul. its an incredible piece that went under the radar. i think itd be the perfect challenge! thanks mate
Thank You!!! If ever you think of some other classic songs and solo's Isley Brothers summer breeze! and a group called Pleasure; the song Joyous! smoking solo!!! Rufus; You got the Love!
And Future Now.
Maggot brain... OK OK I'll subscribe. Now do my favorite.... I'll bet you.... And you have a fan for life. It's by the Funkadelics. It was a huge hit in the Ohio Michigan area.
Peace Jason. Just stumbled across your lesson. GREAT WORK. Curious as to effects pedals you use. Peace
Thanks so much for maggot brain.
Could you please do one on Eric Clapton better make it through today
Thanks
Starting now, lets see how long it'll take to learn that
your voice sounds like ozzy osbourne in his youth
When i first heard it i thought it was offensive. I was gonna find another version but i stayed and will watch it over and over because its soooo good, m8!
Ooh this is epic.
Cheers :)
Amazing! part 2 please!
Ruby C it's coming in the New Year. I'm away at my Mum's now for Christmas:)
Cheers man!
I'd do anything for part 2!! (:
Ruby C it's coming soon. I've been away for Christmas:)
I here the wah-wah pedal, but I also seem to hear a delay pedal effect as well. Also, I'd like to know what other pedals are being used for the song's overall tone. Thanks so much!
Thank thank
Can you do a tutorial of the song Physical love by Eddie hazel
Nice one bro!,how about redoing the guitar solo on the song slide by the funk group slave! I would appreciate it!
I don't wanna sound too negative but the way you demonstrate the playing can be a bit confusing when you're talking. Also when you say you slow it down it's not actually that slow to follow. Nonetheless there isn't any better tutorials out there for this song so I appreciate the upload. Thumbs up from me
Edit : it's much easier to follow the second part that starts at 9:30. I don't know why
Thanks! Please do lampoc boogie next
I will put it on my list :)
We need part 2!
The noodle God coming soon :)
If you want an example on how you can create a great,melodic solo using just pentatonic box, go no further than this song right here.
Hi! Could somebody please share with me their amp/guitar settings to sound like the guitar in this video?? Thank you!
Did you find it ?
I play with a Marshall 50fdx:
Overdrive channel: Gain in 4, Bass in 4, Contour in 5.
Digital Fx: Delay to the top, Fx Level in 5, Reverb level in 5, and and press fdd.
My guitar is a Schecter V1 Diamond series and it sounds perfectly with this settings for Maggot brain. I don't have a Wah-wah pedal but i hope this settings could help you.
yes!!!!
Song is pure feel. It's so hard to hit it like Eddie Hazel. This is a good tutorial though! Cheers!
OH YEAH!
Jason pleeeez the chords and motifs of "We Three" by Eddie Hazel and the chords of Prince's Noon Rendezvous live performance
muito bom!!
Hey very nice video ! I was just wondering what was your amp settings and what pedals were you using. Thx
MrAxoIIpaoli I was using a Boss Blues Driver pedal with a Canyon Delay and a T Rex Wah :)
I need more strings to learn this
Great lesson, Thank you. Guys listen to Pearl Jam covering Little Wing, Maggot Brain (1995-07-09 Marcus
SO many things you can do with the pentatonic. I used to think I don't have enough notes. I'm starting to realize I don't have enough creativity.
If we have never played guitar before and wanna learn this first will this video work for me ?
No, it's not really for beginners.
Do you know what amp settings i should use idk how to get that sound
How many Funkadelic songs have you done tutorials on?
Excellent! If ur up for a challenge do the lead guitar solo on "Knee Deep" by Funkadelic played by Mike "Kidd Funkadelic" Hampton
neck or bridge pickup? i figured bridge but now, not so sure.
Where can I get the sheet music for this?
This is the cut but y’all need to check out the solo in “Cosmic Slop”'! Eddie lays it down!
Indeed he does!
Charles Mccuen It’s Shider and Bykowski on that one.
Thank you for lesson! But can you tell us what pedals do you use and settings on it to create all this sound?
It’s an Electro Harmonix Cockfight Plus Wah pedal.
And some of the amp’s built in delay.
is there written tabs i can view for this that you made??
Can you make a video on how to tune your guitar for this song. I have it down my guitar just isn’t tuned right and I’ve never had lessons, pretty much just a self learner so idk what I’m doing
What amp setting are you using?
Which pickup are you using on your telecaster, just the bridge?
Pretty sure it's in the middle position here. I've got a Tele and i can hear that glassy neck pickup, but it's too bright to be just the neck.
Why have I never seen these chords played this way, ie. Four fingers for an E minor?
Its the 5th string Barre Chord version
Part 2 pls!
Andy Espinoza it's up, check the links in the description:)
you got a now subscriber
Jhunior ßeato great! :)
Yeeeah!
Which Scale is this based on if any? Cause wanna train the pattern a bit before getting into this
Mainly the E minor pentatonic. Occasionally E dorian.
@@thejaseguitar jeez u just told it in the video - couldn't wait for the answer meh
Nice video. What’s the animal in the back lol
How long does it take for one’s fingers to get used to those bends? I have been practicing for like two weeks and they are still killing me :(
you will probably still need time or you are doing it wrong
By practicing basic guitar chords ten minutes a day for three weeks or a month will help to buildup callouses on your finger tips, then the pain goes away. In fact, you probably are beyond this stage since you posted this question a couple years ago. I started re-learning on an acoustic guitat which had a thicker gauge set of strings than both of my electric guitars, so when I switch over to my electric guitars I find that my finger strength is much stronger. Wow who knew. Lol
Did a cover of this one a while back Live and Improv. One of my favorite songs!
Here's a link to the cover!

Great work on the cover! Here's Iron Butterfly :) th-cam.com/video/ENkMUuO-T1k/w-d-xo.html
