Once again, perfect job, Mark. Thank you. This is my favourite we play with the band. Greetings from Frankfurt/Germany. You definitely deserve more clicks.
Wow, thank you so much!! It's a great song and solo. Of course Clapton never would have played it the same way twice, but it's a good one to learn. His bends and vibrato are just so perfect on so many songs off of Disraeli Gears. Thanks for watching and for the support!
@@MarkZabel You are right. I made up my own version of the solo 40 years ago by listening to the LP over and over again. Of course its not like the original, but it sounds Clapton-like enough for me. Anyway, its fun playing, that is what counts. Looking forward to your next videos. Keep on rocking.
Thank you from the south of México. I could learn how to play that solo... listening to your video hundreds of times. thank you, thaaaaaannnk you, man.
LOL! Glad you noticed ... ha ha! Yeah, my dad always warned me about that so many years ago. Guess he was 1/2 right. I *do* still make the faces, but I like making them! Thanks for watching!
Hello how are you and thank you so much for playing so slow helps me get better I enjoyed playing along a while I watched you I'm self taught play guitar and watch TH-cam lessons myself
Thanks! And you're right. It sounds easy, but Clapton is always deceptively difficult. The phrasing, timing, and especially his vibrato are tough to get close. Thanks again!
Just found your channel after searching for a lesson on this song, thanks for being soooo thorough with the walkthrough AND including GREAT TAB for it!
Thank you so much! Fantastic! Very well explained!. I wonder if you could teach us the same solo, but the one from the Goodbye concert al the Royal Albert Hall in 1968. It is different but very cool! Please!
Dear Mark, thank you so much for answering! This is the link to version I asked to you. Guitar solo starts a 3:22 . By then, EC was playing at his best! The way he begins the solo is amazing, full of energy, quite different to the original studio version you taught us, who is more soft and tender... I hope you find time to publish. Anyway, thank you for considering it! Warmest regards th-cam.com/video/pwDo0JUeKqM/w-d-xo.html
Hello Very efficient, I love how in depth it is I have trouble, among other things, with picking especially I think, so I wanted to ask whether you had any tips on how you do it or if you have a lesson on this topic. Thank you again for the lesson!
Thanks! I mostly play with alternate picking (up/down) with very rare exceptions and don't usually think about it much. I don't have any video exercises, but it's about time that I put a few together. Thanks for the suggestion!!
Love your stuff! One question though: I'm a bit new to this and don't understand why the "12" is in parenthesis in measure 15. Could you explain? Thanks!
Thanks! It's a ghost note. So you finger the note and pick it, but it's strongly muted. Not really a big deal either way. If you listen to the song you'll hear it. That's the best way to use tab - listen to the song (or demo here, but the song is best) a few times then listen to it while looking at the tab. Again, after doing that a few times, pick up the guitar and give it a try. If you do that you'll improve by leaps and bounds.
I'm actually really enjoying it. Just a few things; quite light compared to a Les Paul, Good/great neck; good fretwork; super-comfortable rounded fretboard; excellent access to upper frets (great heel joint - and cutaway cuts like a PRS), comfortable contoured body, vintage-sounding pickups (not too hot), good coil split. The only thing I really need to adjust to is how it appears on camera. That white color is really bright!
Thanks for the suggestion. I have thought about, but I actually believe it's counterproductive to learning how to the learning process. If you're an advanced player only trying to learn quickly it's okay. But if you're a learning player, the act of listening and trying to remember phrases rather than read tab is more conducive to learning. I understand why people like it though. And mine is not the only opinion on this. So thanks for listening and commenting!

Mark, you have no idea how much I respect, appreciate, and trust you, because you really, really get it. Thank you for what you do.
You are very welcome. Thanks so much for listening and for the kind comment too!
Thank you from the south of México. I could learn how to play that solo... listening to your video hundreds of times. thank you, thaaaaaannnk you, man.
You're very welcome!
The opening to this solo is the melody to Blue Moon.
Great lesson.
Wow! I’ve tried to play this solo from the Crossroads book of tabs, and this makes a lot more sense. Great lesson, as usual!!
Awesome! Thank you!
Best version in TH-cam! Thanks!
Thank you so much!
Thanks so much Mark, you're an outstanding teacher!
My pleasure Phil! Thanks for watching!
Thank you so much, fantastic Job! I've been playing this wrong for 30 years!
Glad I could help!
Best one on TH-cam
Thanks Adam!
The hardest part was getting the "Guitar Faces" correct but you nailed it young man, awesome.
LOL! Glad you noticed ... ha ha! Yeah, my dad always warned me about that so many years ago. Guess he was 1/2 right. I *do* still make the faces, but I like making them! Thanks for watching!
it's all about sound - and your sound is fantastic. what a pleasure to listen.
Thanks so much!
Right on Mark! Nailed it. Always like to revisit these classics. Thanks again!
The classics are best!!
As always Mark you nailed it.
Thanks Tony!
Awesome lesson as usual, Mark. Thank you very much!

Hello how are you and thank you so much for playing so slow helps me get better I enjoyed playing along a while I watched you I'm self taught play guitar and watch TH-cam lessons myself
You're very welcome Angela. Glad you enjoyed the lesson!
Me 2 that is so cool and awesome
Good Job. It doesn't sound like a tough solo, but it is, because of the timing.. and you nailed it..
Thanks! And you're right. It sounds easy, but Clapton is always deceptively difficult. The phrasing, timing, and especially his vibrato are tough to get close. Thanks again!
Love the tutorial, Mark. Also love the tab format. Thanks !
Thanks James. Can't promise to always do the tab that way. Lots of extra work. But yes, I like it.
The bends up a full step are really precise. Have you done any lessons on how to master them? Thanks again for your expertise!
Thank you!! I haven't done anything on bending yet. Maybe I should.
Just found your channel after searching for a lesson on this song, thanks for being soooo thorough with the walkthrough AND including GREAT TAB for it!
Glad I could help!
Thanks again Mark!
Happy Thanksgiving

3:09 => 4:39 awesome solo; nice lessons
Thanks!!
Pls.show santana what does it take,full guitar toturial
Thanks for your suggestion.
Didn't know Baker passed. I saw him with Blind Faith. I remember him as a rather remarkable looking individual.
Interesting. He *did* have a striking appearance.
hello, Nice done :) , this solo is not technicaly difficult, but hard to do in the right timing with the others instruments.
Hey, thanks!
Great Job, are you still using Black Star amps?
Love your stuff! One question though: I'm a bit new to this and don't understand why the "12" is in parenthesis in measure 15. Could you explain? Thanks!

@@MarkZabel Really appreciate your response, helps tons
Thanks to your excellent tutorial, I no longer have any excuse to suck as badly as I do at this solo...so yeah, thanks, I guess.
LOL! Well, I'm glad you felt the tutorial was good. Thanks for watching!
All about pitch bends, which I can’t do
It’s actually Albert King licks, with Clapton’s outstanding woman tone.
Crosscut Saw solo is Strange Brew solo
Yes true, not a very fast solo but not an easy one
Mark, are you going live today… 11/12/23?
Not today. Next week.
How are you liking that Chapman guitar Mark? Looks pretty nice.
I'm actually really enjoying it. Just a few things; quite light compared to a Les Paul, Good/great neck; good fretwork; super-comfortable rounded fretboard; excellent access to upper frets (great heel joint - and cutaway cuts like a PRS), comfortable contoured body, vintage-sounding pickups (not too hot), good coil split.

13:17 - fast part starts here.
I could tell you meant every note
Thanks so much! Great feedback!
would have been more helpful if the tabs were posted on screen...
thanks..still great lesson

This man sounds like he's on a podcast
.
🎸🤘🎼👍
Thanks!
FIRST TIME I SAW HIM I WAS LIKE HE HAS TO BE CALLED HANK. But he is called mark :(
Ahhh, Hank is one of my favorite names - Hank Aaron, Hurricane Hank (Battling Tops) and Hank Greenberg.
This guy is dad
Hmm, as long as you think "this guy" can play I'm good with that.
