Mercy Mercy Mercy cover of Joe Zawinul track definately Fusion.

This Video is part of my foray into teaching, the backing track is by Geoff Whitehorn guitar techniques may 2001. It is basically in G major but modulates into A minor and B minor so gives lots of options for constructing solos. I tend to use G pentatonic and G dorian for the first part and then modulate to the A minor scale and B pentatonic. It is also possible to force a minor scale against the G 13th chord and also to force major notes against the B minor chord, there is a decending line towards the end of the track where I alternate the thirds between major and minor giving a slightly odd feel to the track. I suppose I am sayng that this is a perfect track to get your ears round alternative harmony.You will find that virtually everything works.

A fucking massacre if I ever saw one.

Mercy Mercy Me is NOT the title;

It's Mercy Mercy Mercy

How to ruin a great piece of music. Do you not know how to play in a subtle way? You have to shred everything to bits. Your rhythm is awful. Phrases stiff.

So awkward at the 3 min. mark....3:39...just take off and forget the band....I gotta show off my licks...forget music. 4:13...what clunkers!
