Learn Blues, Funk, and Jazz Guitar Mixolydian Scale Root on A

[rockdfunk]

1 chord short of Jeep on 35/Scofield. Very nice

[whopperharpooneer]

Best lessons on youtube. Period.

[visiting31]

Batista! hehe

nice tone man

[oxmounter]

"The whole shape?" Why start on the E string if you are teaching the Mixo in A? I do not understand. Why not start on A?

[wanabslash91]

aint tht dorian ?

[TheJuliusJT]

great lesson.. thx. what guitar is that?

[SimpanAppelblad]

@TheJuliusJT Looks like a Herritage 535 to me, great guitars! Better than Gibson's 335's in my opinon...

[axeman1253]

to my ear the mixolydian mode in 5th root on the e string seems off when i play it to this group of chords....am i doing something wrong?

[guitarfreak779]

omg!!! u rock !! am still learnin and i want to be like u!!

[myjizzureye]

@guitarfreak779 Hows that, bald?

[mofemobile]

does anyone know what hes doing from 1:07 to 1:12? (theory wise)

[trailblazer225]

@mofemobile I'm not sure but seeing the way he climbs up the neck, it looks like he's playing an arpeggio of the chord he's playing over. Maybe a few different arpeggios. : P

[strabbs1]

[strabbs1]

C#7(no5) slide up to D7 (no5) (same chord)

E9+ (no5) thats the final chord of the progression, if you have any questions, feel free to ask ;)

[jimcabtv]

Love you playing man! So funky and tasty, also love the tone! What amp are you playing through? Great sound!

[joshyboy152]

thats so sweet i think that would make a girl weep!

[kevlar1818]

I said this before, but great progression and solo... It's actually one of my favorites you've done.

If anyone wants that progression here it is. (See Marty's vid on grooving chords for help)

A13, slide up one fret into A9, slide up one fret into D9, E#9

[kevlar1818]

E7#9, my bad

[jimcabtv]

Isn't it A13, C#m7b5 (1/2 Dim), D9, E7#9

[martyfs74]

C#m7b5 with A in the root is an A9 chord.

[jimcabtv]

Ah, never spotted that, nice one!

[stickkguitar]

brilliant skills, beautiful playing :)

[jackstraw424]

I dig that fat sound man, what guage are your strings? I got a strat and I dont like bending real thick strings so Ill never have that nice thick sound lol.

[srvanjoy]

so your saying u have thick strings on your strat?

[jackstraw424]

No, I got 9s on there now (I think their 9s, I havent changed them from the ones that came when I bought it). Im gunna try some 10s and see if I can man up lol.

[dkrumrie123]

you can get it try an eq pedal to boost the lower mids. humbuckers do help but i can get a very good thick jazz sound on a strat. a lot if it is how you pick and how you play not your gear

[jackstraw424]

Good point.

[kevlar1818]

nice progression

[cmartinjr2]

Yeah, this makes me wanna dance.. =D

[scratchmaker11]

Your guitar rythmic sounds like Colibri of Incognito

[thejazzman8]

dig your stuff man..your a great instructor too....

[gbluesrocker]

really helpful lessons,thanks for posting them! can you tell me what chords your using?

[Fr3etd4nc3r]

Marty,this vid is perfect...I was searching yt for mixo lessons but non of em was as good as this one,,,and with application...thank you, subscribed ;)

[dronai]

Really cool sounds Marty....Great licks as always. I like this style.

[91civichbstd]

what's up marty whats the chord thats after the A but before D7

[Orionsglare]

how do you apply the melodic minor marty? what would be your choice of chords to solo with melodic minor?

[martyfs74]

I'm still working on that one, but one cool aplication is if you are playing A mixo over A7 and it goes to the IV chord (D7) play the A melodic minor over D7 and you get the D7 Lydian dominant. I've got something on this that I will put up!!

[Orionsglare]

thanx man! i ll b waitin'!

[ddavis510]

Marty,

How do I know when to apply the A mixo? I guess my question is how do I know what mode to use? Ive got a copy of Guitar Grimoire. Its great for laying out scales and modes but I'm still lost on how to apply it.

Thanks,

Dan

[martyfs74]

A mixolydian would be played over a progression that revolves around an A7 chord.

D mixo would be over a D7 chord so forth and so on. there is obviously a lot more theory than that and this basic rule will almost always work, but unfortunately there is a lot more to know about all this stuff. Start with this idea however!!!

feel free to ask any other ?'s

[Orionsglare]

what brand is your guitar?

[martyfs74]

hertitage 535

[Orionsglare]

great sound man! Love your modal lessons!
