Thanks Travelin2time, appreciated new friend!👍

Thanks PhenComp! ...I might have made videos on this already, I'm not sure as I have made so many videos in the past that I am now re-posting lots of the older ones. The McLaughlin style isn't one that's covered that much so if I haven't that's a really great idea. 👍

Thanks Phil!

Thanks Jazzman, but I like John's guitar sound and playing. Making KZbin videos with a nice sound is not as easy as it might seem. A lot of work goes into making videos and I try my best. The other thing is that a lot of people like my videos and they are free. When I was learning I had to pay for everything including music school, private lessons, books, records, videos and even magazines as there was no internet at the time and music could only be learnt through paying and buying. Everything I put on here and my website I have given for free so far. Many people find that to be useful and helpful resource. 👍

@ Not criticising your video sound. Just criticising super low action, super thin strings and aggressive picking near the bridge always sounds bad. We’re never going to agree so bye and have a good day.

@@jazzman1954 No problem Jazzman. Thanks for commenting back.👍

Gracias Joan!👍

Hi Wonder, thanks. I can think of this in either altered scale or as another tonality, e'g Eb Major, Db Major, but, I am really just playing what I hear. Another thing is that playing in the minor key [minor-isation/Pat Martino] avoids the cumbersome scale fingerings at a very fast tempo, so Fm over Galt works easily as it's easy to fret and make other pentatonic's from. ...I have covered this in lots of other videos because it is a subject in itself. But, when the tempo is quick there is'nt really any time to think and one just has to just play. That's why I do these videos and analyse the connections. BUT, the key is to do what you find easiest and stick with it. 👍

@CliffordMartinOnline Thank you Clifford!

Hi Juliana, Thank you so much, that's so kind, appreciated👍

@CliffordMartinOnline our pleasure dear😊

Thanks Richard!👍

Thanks Tazador, It's not all as complicated as it looks, but, it's quite difficult to get everything across in video's sometimes, But, I'm glad these videos are still useful. 👍

Hi mate, thanks!...Yeah, I use the Dunlop 2.0mm and it's the perfect thickness for the kind of playing that I do, especially the McLaughlin style.👍

Thanks Richard, appreciated!👍

Merci Bastien! 👍

Hi Flying, Sorry, I'm not sure about the echo as it's an old video and was probably something in the editing. 👍

Gracias Joan!👍

Hi, thanks!..The guitar is a Taylor ns54Ce. It's an early 2006 model and probably from the first batch of the 14th fret cutaway models that Taylor produced. 👍

@CliffordMartinOnline thank you so much

Thanks, Yeah, the trio with John playing the nylon string"Wechter" guitar is one of my favourite periods of Johns playing. The "Que Alegria" album. "Belo herozonte" and "Music spoken here" are all magnificent. I saw John play with Shakti a couple of times and like you I was right at the front for the first one. It was crazy, 2 hours of sheer magic. 👍

Thanks Ivon, appreciated! 👍
