Dickey Betts, the man, the legend, what a legacy....

[DThompson]

OMG I've been playing guitar since 1962 and it never dawned on me how difficult I was making it and how easy this trick is. It's a whole new thing!

Great stuff! Just remember... there's NO lick like Dicky Betts' "One Way Out" groove. Divinely inspired I think. Then Betts' solo is perfect, and then Duane comes in with the slide on top of it... wow! "One Way Out - Live at the Fillmore East" - 6/27/1971"

This was awesome. Simple, short, well recorded and edited. One the best song movie placements was Jessica in Field of Dreams. Every road trip since 1989 starts with the ceremonial playing of Jessica. Thanks for the video.

Dickey is the most UNDER-RATED guitarist of the rock era. I can't play guitar at all, but your video was clear and understandable. I love Dickey and often wondered what it was about his style that was so appealing. Thanks for explaining it.

Most of the time I play alone. To get a decent Allman touch just play the pentatonic scale parallel on two strings at once. I call it my Fake Allman mode.

Nice!
I wish I had your YouTube videos 45 years ago to learn from.
Thanks for the lesson.👍👍

😲😃Very cool Mark! I'll have try that with my looper. Never knew you could just go up to positions like that. Nice!

This formula is transferable to any of the 5 Pentatonic shapes. As long as you skip a shape in between two Pentatonic shapes you will find the harmony. Great trick thank you!

Great video.... You had me at Dodge Dart. I had a 1969 Dodge Dart, slant 6 engine.. I just need your guitar skills to match our choices in 70's Dodge's..

[aggit]

After years playing I picked out, by ear, Southbound. From there I have always used what I call a minor pentatonic in C with the “house shape” up from that scale. It’s all Dickey and it has gotten me by for years now. 😊

[crlguitar]

Yep....That's the sound I love to listen to...harmonized lead....Awesome!

[Rodedog]

Thanks Mark Z, I enjoy your lessons very much! Great Content and teachings are generous and well presented!

[alecfraser]

Lots of people say they can transform you playing in 5 minutes, but this is the real deal. Lots of possibilities to go and work on and all from this one idea!

I learned a lot from listening to The Allman Brothers when I was starting to get serious about playing — whether I knew exactly what it was I was learning or not (I am the least "theory" guy you will ever meet — 98.9% self-taught).

Your videos are great. Maybe if I had a teacher like you back in the late-70s, I'd be a little more aware of what it is I am doing 😂.

Thanks Mark fantastic lesson. Your right that one note makes all the difference! 👋🖤🦋🖤

[jcmize]

One of the best articulations of his style for sure. I have been seeking this. Thank you!

[gus]

Thank you. Never even thought about that. Great tool to add to the toolbox. Always just worked through my harmonies this makes it so easy.

[CHill-uhfg]

Enjoyed that tip, and I had to laugh when you talked about your dodge dart, because I was a teenager in the 70's and my first car was a 67dodge dart.😉

Love the Deluxe Les Paul, thanks for this lesson. Never could figure that out.
