Don Mock GIT Concert on double-neck guitar-synth

[gtarczar]

Saw this performance in person! Was awestruck at his abilities! A great jazz/fusion guitarist and excellent teacher!

smokin'

A monster player. A great teacher. A genuinely nice guy. I was at GIT when he first got the Moller Synth. It was monophonic. No chords on this rig! The fret board conceals a huge amount of wire and solder. Each fret was wired in 6 places! Saw it listed for sale not to long ago.

[cliffordino]

He has enough talent to play a 3-neck guitar! ;-)

Don is the best...Wish I could get my hands on his CD..It's eternally unavailable on Amazon.

[fayerman]

You can buy his two albums off iTunes.

[zebopper]

Why this guy isn't as famous as Metheny or Martino or Scofield , etc is hard to understand, he's truly one of the great living modern jazz players. He should be on a major jazz label - we need more Don Mock CDs!

god damn

[risingsorrow]

he doesnt use the typical fingerings he shows in his books,strange

[05rsx]

Funny lol

[Danthemagicman22]

hes having sex with that guitar

[panchamkauns]

If his playing makes so much sense, why does it sound like this?!

[aliensporebomb]

Crimeny - his chops are ferocious.  Note to self: if anyone says "hey, have a guitar duel with Don Mock" I'd be like "thanks, I'll just play rhythm!"

[axeheadhell]

a great teacher,,

[domdabombabc]

i love his facial expression

[rhornfeck]

Get any of his books...just one of his licks or arpeggio patterns can me give TONS of mileage.

[docholiday747]

Me too! The explanations of substitutions is so logical. He's an amazing teacher and musician. I graduated from GIT back in 1984 and I'm still learning from his books.

[billmeedog]

@rhornfeck,

+1

Yes, great teacher AND player/musician!

[largemoose]

holy hell

Concerning the Synth, I played one (Roland) for a few years. I love it when I have time to sit around and enjoy it, but always had a hard time staying consistent on stage with it. Of course I am no Don Mock. I felt it distracted attention that should have been going towards playing my best.

[paulandlesson]

Don Mock opened my eyes, he is at the top of my list of teachers and players. Although I have have a degree in Classical guitar, the jazz sounds of Benson, Jim Hall etc alluded me. As has been mentioned great players do not always make great teachers. Find a bebop solo by Don, break it down and study how each line works with the chord. When the light turns on, one will see how much sense his playing makes. All based on the western scale, melodic min and the exts and altered chords. Don Rules

[tonepoet]

Sounds very much like Jan Hammer's stuff with Jeff Beck like Blow by Blow or Wired. Don Mock is a monster and one of a kind: a teacher that can teach AND play!

[luvmyself2000]

the post on ebay is a scam.

[jdean9]

stuff like this really makes me wonder why guitar synth playing haven't really evolved any much since this time, this is a direct proof that it does have awesome potential. this playing is awesome in itself of course

[pprideaux]

If he really is letting this one go, he should sell it to Paul Allen ... with lessons!

[hgatjens]

Don has this for sale on Ebay and also has a link to ap age with a complete description of it inthe listing.

forza don mock

[Chromatype]

Are you sure this video wasn't made in the late sixties? those doubled images are like a sixties acid trip

[rorshakks]

He wants to be a keyboardist. This is amazing stuff.

[edloblue]

This guy's credit is that he freely opened up the road to learning new techniques for the guitar, he is an excellent friend of musicians

[MusiciansQuarters]

Not only can Don Smoke he is one hell of a guitar teacher the best in my opinion!

[Hejdlos]

This is great :)
