MERCY MERCY MERCY (guitar chord solo)

[LaraSixtyEight]

Do you ever do tablature? I love your stuff.

[freddym223]

thx LaraSixtyEight ! i'm tabbing all my stuff,but it's a very slow time consuming project.it'll be a while till it's done

[LaraSixtyEight]

@freddym223 I'm sure it does take a long time. Do you have a website?

[MyNewPerspective1]

@freddym223 Did you tab this yet?

[freddym223]

@MyNewPerspective1 no. i have not tabbed this one.

[happylarry]

@freddym223 tabbed it yet? :D

[freddym223]

@happylarry sorry :-( i never tabbed this one . maybe someday.

[MezzMcGillicuddy1]

@LaraSixtyEight Why wait for it to be tabbed? With a little patience you could probably learn it just from this video....

And freddym223: excellent playing btw!

[Dan99Lee]

are you using open tuning at all? thanks

[freddym223]

@Dan99Lee No i'm playing in "A" and and hitting the 4th,5th, and 6th open as much as possible making it sound like an open tuning. the tuning is E-B-G-D-A-E

[Dan99Lee]

@freddym223 ahh ok thanks a lot

[Natalya1sFit]

WIN!!!

[Musikman511]

This is just outstanding!!! I really wish you could give a tutorial on this like some of your other posts. It looks fairly straightforward but some of your tutorials have closer shots of the fretboard. You are truly the master!!!

[freddym223]

thx Musikman511

[MrJimdeb]

nice version of this old tune. Sounds great.

[smarjon]

sounds well ;)

[freddym223]

thx smarjon !

[FrozenByWinter]

I'm really into metal and rock culture and music. but Jazz is just touching my soul everytime i listen to such tunes...

I'm sixteen years old now, i can play this song myself, but my interpretation of the song isn't really convincing. Yours is really beautiful :-)

[freddym223]

thx FrozenByWinter ! very happy to see your getting into jazz !

[MrObame]

ive just learned this piece on guitar and i didnt know there could be so simpel, but yet so beautiful music played on the guitar.

im 13 and i love this, new pop music isnt just my style

[freddym223]

thx MrObame ! sometimes the simplest tunes sound very good

[Harky1951]

You never cease to amaze me Freddie. Smooth as butter!

[freddym223]

thx PAM ! hope your doing well and happy 2010 to you

[meditatio1]

beautiful, mercy mercy mercy!

[freddym223]

thankyou meditatio1 !

[JaysonK19]

this is my favorite piece of music ever. your version is beautiful. thank you very much for sharing it. i play myself and have been working for a long time on figuring out how to play this one.

[freddym223]

thx JaysonK19 ! it repeats itself a lot,so should be pretty easy to learn by watching this

[jefferzone61]

As Van Morrison was known to say...."It stoned me...." Aces for Freddy!

[freddym223]

Thanks again jefferzone61 !

[sakuraYasunaYma]

like this? wii, also know this song, only played it as part of the class, not review ^ ^

see U!!!!

[montes707]

Oh nice.  Thanks man.

[montes707]

Fred, if you could, could you post your amp/guitar settings. Love your tone in this video. I'm trying to copp a Blues meets Jazz meets Latin feel, if that makes any sense lol, and I'd like to use your settings as a base and maybe mess around with them. Thanks.

[freddym223]

i sold the fender hot rod deluxe i used here,so have no idea of the settings.

sorry my friend :-(

[montes707]

How about your amp settings in general...like what you used in your latest vid of Green Dolphin Street.

[freddym223]

the same as i used on "this masquerade".check more info for settings

[letinociri]

yes i likre it too !! i am working on this tune. i paly the same 335 but on a fender blues junior and i would very much like to get close to your sound.

[freddym223]

i like the tone of your blues junior better than this hot rod deluxe

[freddym223]

i will say this Monte.i only use my neck pickup on everything i play.

[doug1the1thug]

a guitar player who looks like they enjoy and feel the music from their heart not their head. a fantastic version of a fantastic song. thanks for putting it up :)

[freddym223]

thankyou very much doug1the1thug !

[WilliamWallaceClaymo]

Lovely interpretation, Freddy. I agree that your playing is inspiring. The reason is that it's so musical — it speaks to the hearer. Doesn't hurt that the guitar and amp sound great!

[freddym223]

thanks for the kind words WilliamWallaceClaymo !

[slillev]

sounds good!

[freddym223]

thanks slillev !

[TheRumster]

Zawinul old times with Cannonbal. And a delicious tune to have fun with. Great tribute, Freddy!

[freddym223]

yes BAQUE,I used to listen to Nat and Cannonball Adderly and all the jazz guys at a place called the Light House muchas anos ago

[scottbos68]

i regret to inform you joe zawinul died yesterday

[freddym223]

at age 75.you know your music history SCOTT68

[scottbos68]

i used to play this tune in a jazz duet with a sax player, we would just open a fake book and play a different tune every night

hey have you heard night passage by weather report? i thought is was innovative and the best zawinul i ever heard - especially the tune madagascar that i think was written by john ambercrombie if im not mistaken

[freddym223]

havnt heard that one 68

[jacquillo]

really beautiful , good taste

[freddym223]

thanks again Jacquillo

[slowmoejazz]

Hey Freddy! Thanks again for all your great videos. I have Vol's 1 and 2 of the real books For this song I guess it just has the head. are you improvising or is there chord solo sheet music that I could get. I mean no disrepect because I enjoy listening and watching you as well as others. I learn a lot from musicians as your self. I have a long way to go. Thanks again. Russ

[freddym223]

hey russ.i just heard the tune many years ago and played it by ear.never saw the music.i just worked out a chord solo on.

[slowmoejazz]

Nice work I have a lot to learn. I'm trying to memorize my fret bord and develope my sight reading skills. I also need a lot of work on my chords. My ears are not as good as they useto be from working with loud machinery. I fell in love with jazz when I came across MattOtten's playing. Now I'm looking to those who inspier me as your self. Thanks again Russ

[freddym223]

matts great with great tone.i keep it pretty simple

[slowmoejazz]

Nice . This is one of my favorits. Thanks for sharing.

[freddym223]

thanks for listening slowmoe.and thanks for subscribing

[DieselBodine]

Hope all will go well with your appointment and much anticipated recovery! I find it interesting how you hold that pick.  Seems different than the way I do. 8-)

[freddym223]
