Thanks!

[@darcyday]

[@MarkZabel]

+Darcy Day Thanks for the comment. Glad you like the video and it helped!!

[@darcyday]

Mark Zabel , it heped tremendously...Thanks again and keep these videos coming!! :D

[@glennkrzeminski7539]

I've seen this done by two others. Although they got the notes right they didn't capture the oomph. There's getting the notes right and there's getting the right feel. You captured it. Very good. Now I don't have to figure this one out for myself. BTW, Call Me The Breeze was excellent also.

[@MarkZabel]

Thanks Glenn!

[@garyscott3251]

all about the feel..spot on

[@MarkZabel]

Thanks Gary!

[@RingoMonsanto]

i really love playing marc ford's bluesy guitar solo in that song :) keep rockin'!

[@MarkZabel]

Yeah, he really has the right roots rock vibe going on!

[@mottosierra1372]

Was recorded by another guitar player

[@Guitarplayer724]

Great lesson Mark, Your playing is immaculate and your teaching style is down to earth. Thanks much for the lessons. If you ever get a chance, or the whim, could you do a lesson on "victim of love" by the eagles? That intro lick kicks my a$$! Thanks again!

[@MarkZabel]

ono 724 Thanks! Oh, Victim of Love! Yes, that's a great suggestion. I'll get it on the list!!

[@Nazfunk]

Great lesson, Yes it is about the FEEL!!

[@MarkZabel]

Thanks!!

[@markh2826]

Please do the solo for I ain't hiding from the Black Crowes. You did a really good job with this one.

[@MarkZabel]

Thanks! Good suggestion. I'll put it on the list of things to consider doing. Appreciate it!

[@markh2826]

You’re a rockstar. Don’t ever change.

[@pisdon2]

Fantastic job....! I used to use the Ionian, Dorian...Phrygian All the time...great explanation!!!!

[@MarkZabel]

Thanks!!

[@jrderntl]

Great solo and lesson. Spot on. That's a nice looking Gibson you have there. Which model is that? Custom 50's maybe?

[@MarkZabel]

Thanks! I'm playing a 1970s Tribute Studio in this video. Love the guitar. Satin finish, mini humbuckers, maple fretboard (I know, it looks like Rosewood, but it's "baked" maple). Some players don't like the fat neck, but it works for me. (It's not super-fat.) Thanks for watching!

[@backtoshallabal6662]

Hey can you please trying doing a lesson on "Surfing With The Alien"?

[@MarkZabel]

Oliver Sanvictores Hi Oliver. I'll think about it ... but I'm not likely to do it soon. Why? Three reasons. First, it's not really my style. Satch is a great player, but I'm not really into his music. Second ... it's hard!! It'll take me a while to learn it ... and if I don't really dig it, I question why I'd spend the time. Third, I don't have the equipment. I need a guitar with a whammy setup that'll really stay in tune. So I really will think about it, but it won't happen soon. Sorry about that.

[@villatengtravel]

Good video

[@MarkZabel]

Thank you!

[@WileECoyotey]

I could hear the major scale parts in that solo too

[@MarkZabel]

Definitely!

[@paulgrabarek5744]

What amp / pedal(s) are you using.?

[@MarkZabel]

Hi Paul. I'm not 100% positive. It was years ago. I think I was using a ZT Lunchbox Junior with a Marshall Plexi emulator (Zoom G3X). Can't remember the gain settings on the emulator, but a decent amount of gain. Maybe a tiny bit of reverb on it. No other effects.

[@MarkZabel]

Studio33Guitar Songs Thanks!

[@InfiniteRiffs]

....and in breaking news, Robert Irvine does The Black Crowes....

[@MarkZabel]

LOL. Maybe from the neck up!

[@acemanz]

do you offer pay stuff?

[@MarkZabel]

Hi Paul. I don't have a membership site, and I don't yet have products up yet. (Working on some "bootcamp" courses or like Lynyrd Skynyrd Bootcamp.) I do provide both video lessons (recorded) and live lessons via Zoom, which is a screen-sharing application. If you'd like, please contact me at [e-mail]. Thanks for your interest!
