[JarvisRaymond]

what type of guitar did you use for this video? Sounds great.

[StringsOfAndersen]

Last time I checked it was A major :)

[bluesplayerman]

what scale is this?

[Wyga23]

lol like from jazz ex. 1 2 3 5

[jokersjef]

Good job sir, and kudos to you for spotting the patterns before McLaughlin "revealed" them himself. Not to be a douche, but may I ask how many bpm you are able to play it at? Also, it would be great if you have the time and desire to make a clip about your right-hand technique, thanks for reading! P.S Excellent playing!

[StringsOfAndersen]

@jokersjef : To be honest I never really checked that out. Good guitar topic fo a video to make a clip with right hand ideas.. I will do that ...thanx for the idea :)

[AlterWagner]

YEAH!!!! Great! Respect!

Bye...gone practisin' ^^

[guitarcolossus]

Any new clips? What about John's jazz vocabulary...stuff say around and after "After the Rain"...I'd love to hear you play that. Cool.

[looney4958]

@ StringsOfAnderson...My friend, I admire you. I saw J.M. when I was 14 in 1972...Mahavishnu.And many times after with Paco...Shakti.... I can tell you that you are a man with a passionate and good soul.

I started playing guitar again( it's been 25 years).I hope I'll eventually progress to your level someday. Thank you for the turn on. You're inspiring me. That's what it's about...yes? And there's always a moron or two commenting...hehehe...probably jealous. Be well and thank you !!! .... zivko

[TheLiesette]

damn.

[StringsOfAndersen]

I did that in 1994 - and it was great fun

I learned so much from that process and even meet John McLaughlin at two occations.

He was not that interested - but very open and helpfull

I saw him perform the concert before that - I think it was in Zürich in 93 - he played it on his jazzguitar and performed some duets with Katia La B.

I tried to set up more concerts w Mediterranean but without any luck. Its actually a piece of work and expensive to play new music with a band containing 75 people

[flatpicking]

Did you actually play the complete "Mediteranean" concerto on guitar?

[samiegfunk1]

slower please!

[gregsbest]

Thank You, Very Inspiring !

Hope you will teach with a few more videos.

Love to Learn !

[StringsOfAndersen]

Thanks for all the interest in these exercises. I performed John McLaughlins concerto "The Mediterranean" 14 years ago it is a whole lot faster than these exercises

Theese clips are 10 years old and was just a pattern that I discovered within his playing. He has def influenced a lot of players all over the world.

A good way to work with these exercises is to realise there is a rhythm to them (groups of 4) that can be rearranged in so many ways.

[NartMakhsida]

Nicely done, although u should have said where u got it from! And that's Mclaughlin's DVD!!! 10 years ago!!! Why did u say that???

[StringsOfAndersen]

Calm down brother PLEASE

The videoclip is called "John McLaughlin style guitar exercise" - The fact that John McLaughlin actually released a guitar method DVD - and actually included that "riff"

( many years after ) actually made my point.. Dont you think so Sherlock? - I do - hahaha!

The question is :

why do YOU disrespect me and call me a liar ?

I had the first two clips on my old homepage before YOUTUBE etc..before the DVD. Believe it or not!

But dont try to out smart me please.

[NartMakhsida]

Well now I even regret making my comment, Keep lying to ppl, good luck!

[StringsOfAndersen]

Thats OK - I forgive you. We are both musiclovers after all and

both admire John McLaughlin.

Few people create a new sound & style. He did that decades ago. That fact really tell it all.

Hail John... Hail John :-))))))))

Have a nice day. Practise, practise and more practise

[NartMakhsida]

Thank u for "forgiving" me!! And long live Mahavishnu John Mclaughlin.

[StringsOfAndersen]

But a good point is to hold up a newspaper every time I make a videoclip to help documentation. Or erhaps invite 2 or 3 policemen to confirm I´m telling the truth - HAHAHA

[NartMakhsida]

Alright calm down!

[StringsOfAndersen]

Its my nature to be as calm a possible and tell the truth

I just think that you are a funny guy - and the fact that you bought the DVD of John and think that I would lie about my videos tell me more about you that you can imagine.

Do proceed unbelieving - its a way of life and very popular :-)

[NartMakhsida]

Ok.

[mikulasvselicha]

Great!! Thanks a lot... even though John plays it even faster

[jazz4]

amazing man, sounds good. it's a shame Im too lazy to learn it.

[alxarc]

[FrancescoBonfanti77]

Fb

[tonesbe]

excellentisimo dude-i like it

[ziemass]

now play the same only two times faster and your gonna be Shawn Lane

[StringsOfAndersen]

Nope!

look what happened to him :-)

[IsThatSmoothJazz]

I don't see a connection between having ill health all his life and being a brilliant musician.

[StringsOfAndersen]

Neither do I. But a silly comment requires a silly answer :-)

[khonamanje]

thanks for sharing,and making it easier to understand how to play this technique

[BongoBib]

-- Øh - forresten er det da iøvrigt osse fedt det som at du dér gør ;-p

[BongoBib]

Hej Henrik ! Ole vil gerne ha sin Thorvald Madsen violinøvebog tilbage .. ( tror jeg nok -det ville han hvertfald for 20 år siden .. haha )spil noget mere Django !

[Dobro97]

my dad uses this exercise!!!

[mrmichael20]

thank you very much

[stepanosCZ]

nice

[dazedandconfucious]

A major.

[aviolentbirth]

Is this on johns 3 DVD set?

[dolphin1701]

John McLaughlin is the master - much better than shred guitarists!

[Lahed92801]

TRUE!

[orientalnegro]

Plays as fast - if not even faster - than most shred guitarists and done so tastefully too. Mclaughlin is awe-inspiring. Great excercise Andersen, thanks.

[fridrikur]

Yes agreed. Using real notes and not just effects.

[gennation]

That's that riff on John DVD set isn't it? Maybe that's what you're explaining in your comment area. Nice job!

[jacs91]

Very nice! but that guitar sounds horrible.

[IGSXIII]

that was pretty cool dude.
