I love the way Eric Clapton uses this progression in, "Old Love".

A very important part of Harrison’s Something and Clapton’s Let It Rain.

Thanks Mark. Many of us pick up so many cool things from you, and we appreciated your insight, analysis, and great teaching style. Appreciate you sharing all of this.

Pink Floyd Shine On You Crazy Diamond too! Nice!

[GregMyser]

Awesome 👏🏻 👏🏻👏🏻. That 2nd blue note really makes it. Definitely stands out when compared to the more common blue note. Thanks for the excellent video!

Great tip, Mr. Zabel! The importance of shell chords and building melodic sounding lines by moving between them can't be ignored!

[stradaveriusfiddle]

Cool! I’ve played keyboards for decades, & just started to learn electric guitar a few years ago, with blues/pentatonic scales first, before really getting into chords. (backwards?) 😅
I’ve been able to use this in a few minutes with those scales. Very useful, thanks Mark! 👍🎸🌈

Your ears are right most of the time. Don't forget to own the tonic.

....and Santanas`s Òye como ya, E.Claptons Òld Love, and, and, ...

That sounds good. That is a neat trick. Thank you, Mark

This is cool! And I love the Beatles song, Michelle! But where is the Lincoln the description for the Triad course? PS I wouldn’t mind paying for one. It doesn’t have to be free.

Hey Mr. Mark, im 15 and I’m very interested in blues/country/southern rock could you do a lesson on song styles like keep your hands to yourself? Or any advice on how to write solos and rhythms like songs like that? Thanks

Nice trick indeed. I may be wrong but it also sounds like the chords behind the sax intro to Sade’s “Smooth Operator”. It is interesting that you name all 4 chords as some kind of G chord when only the first one actually has a G in it. I wonder how the progression sounds if you add the G note located on the 1rst string for all 4 chords, avoiding root-less voicings. Quick! My guitar!

believe it or not this whole sequence is in the song YMCA. starting with "They have ev-er-y-thing, for young men to enjoy".
