YOU KNOW, YOU KNOW Guitar Lesson - How To Play You Know, You Know By The Mahavishnu Orchestra

[@chizmo7]

Crazy cool. Mclaughin has been blowing my mind since 1973.

[@hugoflores9499]

Thank you , and very nice little dog

[@gunwantiramchandani5431]

3:23 Not lying. Got goosebumps. Thank you.

[@markanthonypetra]

damn....so simple yet so hard....great job

[@Gumanginelli]

Great lesson, thank you.

[@davidaustin7445]

thank u .. all the best 2023!

[@kbnovid4430]

Great vid! I've been practicing this one as soon as I came across this clip and nailing the song is my new goal for the rest of the year.

[@raspberryberet4544]

This is very evocative for me as I listened to it in my youth. It has a wonderful ethereal, dreamlike quality. Thanks for the lesson and tab.

[@miraposajehano4309]

Excellent!!! Mclaughlin is an extraordinary guitarist and one in a handful of innovator in music altogether. The guy has transcended genre, style and has therefore created a whole new vocabulary for guitar player. I place him right on top with the likes of Lenny Breau, Jaco Pastorius, Charlie Parker, Coltrane and Miles Davies.

[@247GuitarwithHowardHart]

I totally a agree! Thanks for the post :-)

[@ApCommunityRock]

Bonjours !! Hey Thx For Your Rock to the world !! have a nice day my friend !!!!!!!!

[@image30p]

Thank you! First I was trying to count it. Then I was trying to play along. Then I tried counting again. Then I said, "I'll bet that's not it." I found the timing on a Reddit forum. And now here's the guitar part perfectly explained so it doesn't have to drive me insane for the rest of my life and I can get back to enjoying the music. Thank you again! ❤

[@vagabond4113]

Thank you. I've been meaning to learn this song for a few years but never got down to learning it for some reason. Thanks for this tutorial!

[@247GuitarwithHowardHart]

Thanx for watching. It really is a cool tune... and pretty easy as well. I hope you enjoy playing it :-)

[@davidcotton6999]

Awesome thank you! Love this composition

[@zepapires]

That’s great. Beautiful shirt, btw. Cheers from Brazil

[@raspberryberet4544]

I really like the Jeff Beck version too. Two great guitar Brits 😊.

[@elements-creactive]

Herzlichen Dank für diesen Upload - You know - You know ... simply fascinating ... very motivating! :-)

[@ghostjazztrio]

The song Trilogy what be an awesome tune for you to post. I would love to see how it is put together on your channel.

[@247GuitarwithHowardHart]

Great suggestion!

[@patgregurke4749]

Thank you! This song was playing tricks with me big time... its great to see it analysed in laymans terms. Cheers mate!

[@newportmeister]

Great video. So clearly explained. Thanks a lot!

[@247GuitarwithHowardHart]

Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks :-)

[@hagishag]

I've never noticed before how the first two chords of the extended chord progression of the 'Melody' are the same as the first two chords of 'Guardian Angel'. Also how similar it is both rhythmically and key to the much earlier 'Binky's Beam' from his debut album 'Extrapolation'. What great development and extrapolation. Thanks for this.

[@247GuitarwithHowardHart]

It is indeed true! I think of it as a 'compositional form' he was exploring at the time... Not unlike Stravinsky, Webern or other composers. Guardian Angels may very well be the 'climax' of that style before moving on to his European period :-)

[@overcome8628]

I love this riff; I wish he would have added more to it. That being said, it gives my eccentric/creative mind many ideas!

[@swamisMotelBand1]

thank you thank you thank you and thank the dog too

[@jjazzyt8588]

Merci beaucoup !...

[@SAMPAIOAERO10]

TANKS MAESTRO!!!

[@247GuitarwithHowardHart]

Thank you for watching :-)

[@berndkoelbl3852]

Hello Howard ! Thats very good what you`re doing here ! Big compliment ! I remember the time when `The Innner Mounting Flame` album comes out, ------- and the world was shocked !

[@247GuitarwithHowardHart]

Many thanks!

[@guitareputz]

4 AND ...THANKS FOR THAT!

[@spookybaba]

I play the four chord change elsewhere, sticking to the same string picking. You know I'm gonna have to subscribe now, after these Mahavishnu tunes, and Al's Golden Dawn. 👍

[@247GuitarwithHowardHart]

Thanks for the sub - I'm glad you enjoyed it :-)

[@blackarrow9072]

It's a 24/6 starting on the first beat if you like .

[@jazzrockspodcastarchives7219]

Nice shirt :-)

[@JakeSavich]

Tops friend

[@donaldschomer6616]

Your whole channel is awesome but the McLaughin lessons are especially instructive. Have you considered a lesson on Open Country Joy from the Birds of Fire Album?

[@247GuitarwithHowardHart]

Oh man... that's an awesome suggestion :-) Time willing, I can get to it

[@Dykhopper]

hey, cute doggie!!!

[@ludwigwigren4634]

Hi, does anyone know the key to this?

[@jimdep6542]

i think it's in Em

[@robertgiles9124]

I wonder if Abercrombie got his idea for Timeless from the first part of this. Similar.

[@jimdep6542]

No doubt. I heard a lot of McLaughlin's licks and phrasing from Abercrombie when he first started getting noticed by the general public. There were a lot of JM's imitators back then, as they were thought of as the coolest things since witches started hanging out in chest freezers.

[@drewyoungs]

Abe Wechter Is my Luthier.. He made me an Identical Florentine of John's and a Pathmaker Nylon..

[@247GuitarwithHowardHart]

That's so cool!!!

[@dzarren]

On the original album it starts actually on the "and of 1" You can tell from the drums but it is absolutely the and of 1 on the original recording, not the "and of 4". Bur for some reason, when john plays it these days, he starts it on the "and of 4" like you do here.

[@247GuitarwithHowardHart]

That's an interesting observation... In John's own book of transcriptions, which came out in the early 80's, he has it written as starting on the and of 4 - Go figure?

[@jimdep6542]

@@247GuitarwithHowardHart Well......that's because by the early 80's he took some guitar lessons to learn what he was doing. ......ha...J/k

[@Mikex0123]

There is a live video where John plays the squelch part and nothing happens. We don't hear anything. I don't know what went wrong. Very nice playing. Even if it is simple, it sounds great.

[@gunwantiramchandani5431]

Great shirt. The logo actually refers to the one great conscience whom we will become a part of after we die. In short it means God. Loved the video btw. Hope to see more Mahavishnu Orchestra. Would really appreciate if you did Lotus Feet. It's just a beautiful composition.

[@247GuitarwithHowardHart]

Lotus Feet is a beautiful piece!

[@gunwantiramchandani5431]

@@247GuitarwithHowardHart or maybe Thousand Island Park?

[@jimdep6542]

Same here. I remember back in high school and seeing the Mahavishnu Orchestra playing in the SF Bay Area, a few players were wearing these shirts, including their road crew and I wanted one really bad.......just to be cool and feel like I'm part of the inner circle of the coolest people on the planet.

[@lthmptr]

Nice dog Howard...shitzu

[@247GuitarwithHowardHart]

Thanx :-) He's a Havanese

[@NichaelCramer]

An important point about YKYK is that it's a lot simpler to keep straight if you keep in mind that it's basically in a very straightforward 4/4 signature throughout. That is, the main progression is one measure of arpeggiated 8th notes, grouped 3+3+2, followed by extended note in the next measure: |(Xxx)(Xxx)(Xx)|X.... This is then followed by two 4/4 measures (typically filled with improvisation by other instruments) and the whole cycle starts again. The exception is an insertion of [what is called here] "the melody", which consists of a 3/4 measure containing 8th notes grouped 3+3. So the sequence goes |3/3(Xxx)(Xxx)|4/4(Xxx)(Xxx)(Xx)|X... The "screeches" then come on the beats in the (4/4) measure preceding the main cycle: First time: |[rest][rest][rest][SCREECH]|(Xxx)(Xxx)(Xx)|X... Second time: |[rest][rest][SCREECH][SCREECH]|(Xxx)(Xxx)(Xx)|X... Third time: |[rest][SCREECH][SCREECH][SCREECH]|(Xxx)(Xxx)(Xx)|X... (My apologies for trying to type musical notation into a Safari/iPad editor. ;-) )

[@247GuitarwithHowardHart]

It is indeed an easy one in the Mahavishnu catalog to grasp. McLaughlin transcribes it as 4/4, with one measure of 3/4 inserted at the 'chord shift', which some might view as an Em(b6) or flat 13 chord

[@細川秀幸-s6r]

My eyes go to a cute dog rather than practice.

[@sandytrunks]

@0:15 Dude, your dog just ate a guitar pick.

[@247GuitarwithHowardHart]

:-) "Kibble Picks"!

[@davederoux3361]

I never really liked Mclaughlin..i'm just here for the pup.
