I still have the Hot Licks video on cassette from Don Mock back in the 80's!

[@ВиталийЯныков]

Don Mock - genius musician❤

[@irock4u222]

i bought dons book hot licks when it came out in 78-79 and taught myself how to play at 15,cool part is i know him now,he is always at the hydro museum by my house he is a great guy and loves his hydros and talking guitar.

[@jeffjfindley4802]

There's a decidedly Bob Ross feel to his presentation, which is amazing. I wish this guy was still at MI when I was there! Brilliant.

[@CapnPicard]

Just watching this video made me about 10x better at playing the guitar.

[@Tunesketcher]

22:30 - 23:30. "Pure Gold" I learned a lot from this segment..so much info in this video that continues to remain strongly relevant for any style..

[@jasonslayton2970]

Literally one of the best "jazz" lessons I've seen on youtube.

[@wadesharp11]

It is!! I had to tab out a lot🙏Sooooo good his style so modern

[@superdog797]

this is a holy shit gold mine

[@joesloan2207]

Don Mock, you're a fucking legend!!!

[@atlantaguitar9689]

I bought this video back when it came out. Although the instructor wasn't as well known as some of the other MI crowd, I think he offered a more insightful approach than most of them. He presents ideas in an easy to understand manner while showing useful and practical applications which is (was) much different than the speed motivated videos of the time. Put another way, this information transcends a single type of music and has good utility in a number of contexts. The same could NOT generally be said of some of the other videos at the time

[@AlexSosaBolivia]

Some of those "speed" orientated instructional videos were hilarious, with the tab flying by at 100 MPH along the bottom of the screen.

[@groovesyndicate9513]

He did a lot of the production for the hot licks videos.

[@atlantaguitar9689]

@@AlexSosaBolivia yea - I remember those. You had to be careful not to lose the accompanying booklet. Some of those videos were ridiculous in content. One of the shredders basically just demonstrated the modes at various speeds, did a couple of tap and sweep licks with an equipment walk through. Those tapes were not cheap!

[@SxTxD_KY]

@Atlanta Guitar Sounds like Bruce Bouillet's Progressive Rock Guitar. Love the guy, but it was not a good video. About six months into my playing, I noticed two VHS tapes collecting dust on the shelf at the music store I took lessons at. I had to choose between the aforementioned tape or one with Craig Goldy (Dio), and thank God I picked Craig's because it was fun to watch and super inspiring to me at the time.

[@atlantaguitar9689]

@@SxTxD_KY The Goldy video was pretty good as I recall.

[@tomkratzberger1473]

one of the best guitar teachers in the "GIT". Books like Artful Arpeggios, Hot Licks, Hot Lines, are good books for playing the guitar.

[@sunlightevidence4359]

Don Mock used to teach us alternative history in 4th grade and then after class he used to try to teach us complicated B Flat chords.

[@wattage2007]

I remember seeing a taster of this video on a hotlicks ad. Always wanted to check him out but couldn't afford the price back in those days. Fantastic teacher and player.

[@rodolfoperez7239]

Don mock is the teacher and fusion jazz guitarist ever in my opinion, everything makes sense when he explains and teach and when you heard it the notes show you the cord where he is, other teachers like frank gambale it’s just truly bad teacher. Teaching is an art and don mock has the art of teaching perfectly

[@wadesharp11]

Agreed!!! Dons lines are tricky too..Legend

[@Skipperj]

What is the name of the Bb Robben Ford song?

[@Texguitarra]

People didn't know about this lesson yet! And how rich this kind of information to play jazz and fusion stuff! Great Don Mock, congrat!! Thanks a lot

[@elgonm289]

Spot on ..absolutely wealth of information 👌👏👍🏼

[@mattheweidsvoog4031]

The Jesus of shredding! 😮

just amazing !!

[@reservoirstudios4371]

11 people hit the “thumbs down” button. I’m truly baffled by this! They must hate music

[@doodleedledoo]

I think they are spoiled and don't like the quality. As soon as they saw it was old and low quality they down voted and left. Had little to do with the content I'd guess.

[@ankitpandey-hf3uy]

[@lukex1337]

This is the guy that was interviewing Joe Pass in his concert dvd XD

[@robertsmithduarte7732]

Love Don Mock thanks for uploading..I grew up with this video🙏Amazing tutor and material..I tabbed out a lot of his lines and the first blues solo, soooo good but hard..The dominant chord scale i use every gig.. Cheers from NZ

Me too bro 87 had the video tape learnt as much as I could and still these licks today . nice to know someone else in NZ learnt from this amazing lesson and tutor Thanks Dom Ledgend

[@tommym321]

TRM notes 15:04 playing a F (major) pentatonic ver a C7 chord 15:29 playing a Bb pentatonic major over C7 These are all in the key of F “every key center has three major pentatonics in it” for C major, it’s F major G major and C major 21:06 so is he just harmonizing the F major scale with arpeggios? G minor Bb major 7 E minor 7 flat 5 He says he is choosing the arpeggios based on each individual note of the C7 chord Come back to 18:53 and especially 23:48

[@DeathRattlingWhore]

Hey! This guy is quiet educated. I wont be disrespecting this guy any more. Hey, you could even say im...Done mockin him!!

What was that guitar at the end ? was it a midi controlled thing of some sort ?

It's a custom Lane Moller double-neck made for Don. He talks a little bit about it in his page: www.donmockguitar.com/history.html And if you wanna know even more: donmockguitar2.blogspot.com/2010/01/don-mocks-double-neck-synth.html

how the F... does he do that?

[@soylentkris]

Hmm, don't know about the rest of you, C- in the Real Book to me is Cminor. - = minor, + = aug, 0= diminished, I don't know how to make the 0 with a slash for min7b5. Fine player, but from the git, he's calling minor chord symbols dominant. The fake book would just say C7 for a dom 7, CΔ7 for a Major 7, Cdim or C0 for a diminished, Calt for a b5#5, b9#9 (players choice) and so on.

I've studied this since it came out... the only criticism is that "as the progression gets more involved, so should your soloing"... not necessarily true... less notes is more digestible for the average audience... take out the fluff... play the melody first.

As a kid I always hated the intros......tune to my guitar.....can you just tell me and I use my tuner that mom and dad bought for me lmao

I remember downloading this in the Limewire/pre-YT days. Just found it on my old hard-drive. Wanna know why the quality is so bad? It was 700+MB at 240p... that could've been hours of downloading depending on your type of internet connection back then. My file is slightly less blurry than this, but the notation is just as hard to read. BUT I wrote it all out on paper, so I might make a pdf is anyone is interested.
