What's interesting to me about so many of these lead lessons is that I have been doing much of it, intuitively, my whole life... But without any idea of what I was doing. I guess I just picked the patterns up by emulating my favorite players. Very cool to see it all explained.
To me, the solo in Two Tickets To Paradise is one of the best solos on record. Jimmy Lyon, who played it, gets it dome by using those boxes along with great phrasing.
Absolutely Mark. I call it the universal DIAGONAL PENTATONIC. The same all and up down the neck. One for minor one for major. Best way to break out of the traditional 6 string boxes is to not get trapped in them to begin with. Start off playing the diagonal then the side to side silos where desired.
Thanks Mark, the extensions are a great way to solo for sure and build your chops. Also helps maneuver the fretboard and ear training. Great lesson. Keep up the great work 🎸
Yes, they're great for ear training and phrasing. For once I left that out of the B.B./Albert Box discussion. They're my favorites for giving students to work with.
Thank you Mark for all of your videos. This video opened up a new door in my playground. I am most definitely going to master this now and save this video into my toolbox!
Oh Mark, that Jam was the best. I've played for forty years and if I could go back in a time machine - for 5 minutes! - I would teach myself that one. I'm subscribed.
@@MarkZabel my man I've been so stagnant for so long thank you for the inspiration I would love you to do a tribute to one of the greatest guitarists that I love but truthfully I only love one of his albums bridge of sighs but every song is wonderful please pick a couple and do a video on Robin Trower
@@MarkZabel Mark, that’s the exact solo I was thinking of! Since I started really digging in to learning the fretboard about a year ago (as opposed to only playing pentatonic scales with no awareness and power chords) that was the first solo I learned. And I was amazed how seamlessly he interwove G major and G minor scale notes into an extremely Hummable, singable musical solo! And if you’re in your car, or drinking in a bar, that solo comes up and just burrows its way into your brain forever. That’s what popular music is all about. Angus and the great players are all great at this.
I thought I was the only one left playing an unmodified Les Paul with mini humbuckers (seen a few with the bridge pickup replaced). A rare tone monster that the common L.P.s can't capture.
MARK Z, The BB box or house of blues box move up 2 frets is NOT a major pentatonic scale, its a Hexatonic scale not a pentatonic scale. BB Box is 1-2-3b-4-5-6 plus you have to START on the 6th scale degree and also END on the 6th scale degree to make it have that sweeter BB tonality. BB king, Peter Green & Dickey Betts uses major hexatonic and minor hexatonic which you can make a YT lesson about.
I love your manner of teaching, very calm and clear with a passion for music
Glad you enjoy it!
Sounding great Mark! Love Two Tickets To Paradise too
Thanks buddy!

That's great!
Great lesson Mark!
Glad you liked it!
Short but very informative and easy to remember.
Glad it was helpful!

Yeah, it's pretty much only the B.B. Box as far as notes go!
I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again: Mark....you are a great guitar 🎸 teacher 👨🏫.✅
Thank you so much!!

Man.,this is awesome....👍
Thanks a lot!
Thanks Mark for another really good lesson. BTW - what brand of strings are on your Les Paul?
I use Ernie Ball - 010's on this guitar.
Great lesson Mark-Thxs!
My pleasure!
Angus Young does that a lot too I think
Absolutely. "You Shook Me All Night Long" is a good example.

Great explanation !
I'm off to visit the House of Blues.
Thanks! Enjoy!

Personally, I love the brighter sound.

So it's more like a townhouse of blues! lol That's what I get for not getting to know the neighbors.
Love it!
The houses of blues ROCK! (House of rock? ) \m/
I need more tricks
Plenty of them on this channel. Have a look!
Excellent. Thx! 😊
