So, what in the world is the 313313 concept?

[derrylgabel]

yes. I recently sold it.

[minorthreat141]

@derrylgabel Lol, awesome.

[minorthreat141]

Just curious... is that grey unit with the orange glowing screen, directly behind the neck in the demonstration part of this clip... is that a Roland VS880?

[97warlock]

ive seen Eddie use that same 4 finger pattern in some magazine from like the 80s. Guess its a legit pattern afterall lol im just now as of today starting to ATTEMP this pattern. seems like it will utilize the notes better as opposed to having to go to the next string for the note. Just use it since its there already where the pinky is,may as well use it.

[assfuck37]

man i thought you were playing it fast the first time around -__-

[SolvingOurKreation]

Average Homeboy!!

[TheodoreKalantzakos]

Great video thanks Derryl!!!

[joeylodes]

GREAT playing!!

[Hydrefyricon]

Heavenly tone man...as always.

[Minkar]

more like hepta-titis... HOOOO!

[CocacolaCowboy1919]

OK just when I think I learned something cool and feel confident, I see this guys fingers move like a spider crab and I feel inadequate again.

[Zorron93]

i love this

[NevermindXY]

Wow

[elias909antonas]

Derryl...your control and touch is amazing. Pleasant tone also. Well done!

[derrylgabel]

Thanks for your comment : ) There are a lot of "unknown" guys out there that are fantastic players. Some that come to mind are Tom Quayle, Alex Hutchings, Rick Graham, Martin Miller, Andy Wood, Nick Kellie, Floyd Fernandez, Daniele Gottardo, Scott Jones, Ignazio DiSalvo, Marco DeCave... and many more. Do yourself a favor and check out these guys too!

[lazur1]

After l these years of consistently first-rate rate playing, how is it that Derryl Gabel is still the best kept secret in music?

[EmirBucio]

Very very cool man.

cheers!

Emir.

[guitar4evr30]

heptatonic?? like 7 note scales?

[Sweeper5]

Very reminiscent of dear Shawn Lane's playing. Loved it!

[BlackDiamond351]

whats the purple pre-amp in his rack, anyone know please?

[derrylgabel]

It's a Digitech 2120 VGS Artist.

[mallamoozoo]

Is this what you call jazz fusion? ive only been playing 5 years and still struggling even with rock (Guns n Roses type stuff).

I like the sound of this but been told its way outta my league at this stage.

[petiethepitt]

Dont ever let anyone tell you something that inspires you is out of your league.You dont have to start with such wide interval patterns.Start with something a little smaller,use a metronome(very important) Start slow and focus on technique,speed will come on its own.But dont ever let anyone tell you you cant play something because with the right approach nothing is out of your league thats a fact.

[BlackDiamond351]

yeh its fusion

[Gregorypeckory]

@mallamoozoo For great examples of some of the best jazz-rock fusion, check out Mahavishnu Orchestra, Return to Forever (and Chick Corea's other bands), Weather Report, Hiromi, and Allan Holdsworth, for a start. If you want rock-jazz fusion (more rock than jazz), try Shawn Lane, Guthrie Govan, Greg Howe, Jerry Goodman, and Jeff Beck. If you want to see where fusion came from, check out Miles Davis' 60's recordings such as "Bitches' brew", "A Tribute to Jack Johnson", and "Live Evil".

[mallamoozoo]

@Gregorypeckory

Thanks - i will make sure to have a look.

[laurentius88]

definitely scalloped!

[diabeticmonkey]

Such smooth picking.

[davtones]

are those scalloped frets?

[derrylgabel]

Yes.

[davtones]

awesome i scalloped the frets on my strat and i just love them!

[RippinSkullz]

lol idiot

[Chromatype]

no it's a scalloped fretBOARD...haha

[LiquorWreckedEmGood]

@davtones

i have scalloped potatoes.

[joeylodes]

nice stuff! very holdsworthian! :)

[WatchOutForTheLogos]

That's nuts. I think I may invest in your DVDs after watching a few more demonstrations, that's some really nice wide-interval playing.  I imagine it goes without saying that you borrow some harmonic thought from Allan Holdsworth?

[McMinnManiac]

To darryl

i know Melodic minor concept like subing Lydian b7 on the V chord . i know melodic minor all over the neck , but ican really only play in one key . where should i begin with your instructionals , the Method book , or the DVD.

[derrylgabel]

I recommend starting with my DVDs. From the doing webcam lessons. I also recommend practcing the melodic minors in cylces of minor thirds. Here's why: If you were playing over a 2 / 5 in C you could use D melodic minor, F melodic minor, Ab melodic minor, and B melodic minor to go out. But really there is more to it than that.

[brando18guitarplyr]

@derrylgabel Hello, what kind of guitar is that? it looks like an Ibanez in almost every way, and what kind of strings do you use?

[flashmaster1990]

what do you mean with 313313 conzept?

[ywickum]

of course it is cool but it´s always the some...and later it´s boring for me...sorry man, but thats not a lesson which explains me something...it´s only a video showing me how fast and how crazy you are able to play on a guitar.

This Video is not bad, but it should teach something...

[derrylgabel]

You bring up a good point. To make it clear, all the ideas I show on the DVD are explained and have the accompanying standard notation and tab.

Thanks to everyone for all your comments!

[Gregorypeckory]

@derrylgabel This doesn't really solve ywickum's problem though Derryl. He isn't satisfied to be provided with free videos of your playing for inspiration, and the chance to buy lessons on how to do what you're demonstrating-he wants the lessons for free too, and if it was possible, he'd want you to practice for him too.

[AcidBong]

blows my mind. i think my brain exploded.

[54NT14G0]

Yup, sounds awesome!

[hockeypuckfan19]

Nice videos! This outside sounding riffage reminds me of Shawn Lane.

[BEY0NDWARD]

cool scalloped board...

[SufferForever]

Ahhhh! so cool! i'm instantly a fan !

[itowedin]

What a great alternative to the linear approach of traditional sweep picking. I know it's not directly intended as such but I've been looking for a way out of the articulation nightmare and box traps that sweep picking illicits. I'm trying to develop some outside concepts to extreme metal soloing. Eddie Head from haji's Kitchen used to come out of a traditional sounding line into an outside phrase that would just change the dynamics...It was awesome for those who could appreciate it.

[derrylgabel]

Thanks for your comment. If your interested in outside concepts please check out my DVDs Outside Secrets part 1 and 2.

[silentboy85]

i hate this scale! :(

[ljguitar91]

very holdsworth

[huhupao]

how can i use heptatonics? i can't get the 313313 concept... mmmmm...

[meluaz]

buy his dvd! obviously im guessing the the numbers mean the amount of semitones between each note of the scale

[LordLayAlotTK]

The giutarrist of MCR is s0 much betar!!!11!

[koolaidolio]

Troll is unsuccesful

[LordLayAlotTK]

haha don't worry I was joking...hence the stupid spelling. No idea how I got a thumbs up though

[dtma24]

he just means the amount of notes per string. i think marshall harrison uses it a lot. its like play one note then three on the adjacent string and so on,

[osensei2987]

Basically 313313 referes to the fingering pattern. But to get it to work you need to know how to break all of your chords down into arpeggios.

Then apply the fingering to the arpeggios that you've learned. Also, don't just stop at learning 1-3-5-7 arpeggios! You need to learn all of your harmonic extensions (9th, 11ths, and 13ths) as well. Then develop fingerings over them.

[Phrygian12]

Don't for get Inversions! and major minor's

hope your not telling this to DG

the man knows what hes doing!

[osensei2987]

Thanks, inversions are definitely important. But I was talking to someone who did not understand the concept not understand the concept not to DG.

[derrylgabel]

I bought this guitar (Ibanez USA Custom Exotic Wood Series) back in '91. and got the neck from another that I bought in '93. I recently sold this guitar.

[Phrygian12]

was that the very same guitar Marshall Harrison played in some of his videos?

or did he also have a Custom?

[derrylgabel]

Marshall has one video of him playing my guitar up on youtube. He's playing over the backing Owner Of A Lonely Heart. I filmed this when he came over a few years ago.

[qrstvids]

Yeah, I remember seeing those videos years ago. Awesome stuff!

[hunter111mmm]

ok my only worry is where do you get a ibanez RG style guitar ( i cant see the headstock to see if its ibanez) where it has scolloped frets

im looking for one

is it all custom

[JerichBlakk]

Santiago dobles has turned me onto him I am so glad he did...this is amazing

[floydrose42]

Reminds me of a song by Level 42, A Kinder Eye. The guitar solo sounds more or less like this.

[McMinnManiac]

i think this guy is Frank Gambale's Replacement !!! if just wore florecent cloathing he could be in Chick Correa Electrik Band ....Lol

[petar870602]

no he cant be in the elektric band......doesnt have it for that band....

[RyanLVMetal88]

you need to be shot

[yellowshadow92150]

[khbasslicks]
