NOTE: HIGH QUALITY MODE is available. Here’s John McLaughlin with the Mahavishnu Orchestra, 1975-11-29: solo-guitar, plus Open Country Joy. This is the ‘Inner Worlds’ line-up: McLaughlin, Armstrong, Goldberg, Walden.

THIS IS THE (SECOND-LAST CONCERT AND) LAST KNOWN RECORDING OF THE 1970s MAHAVISHNU ORCHESTRA/S. IT IS ALSO THE WILDEST AND CRAZIEST.

If you want to listen and/or download it (in a compact size), head over to that most wonderful jazz-fusion web-site, jazzfusion.tv. It can be found in better quality, though.

For those who don’t know about John, well he taught Jimmy Page, recorded with Miles Davis, jammed with Hendrix. More? (he’s got long arms) And, McLaughlin-fans, check my other videos.

Oh, and I changed the name of the video… because, basically, it’s true. And, if I ever see another “who is the best, or fastest (or whatever)”, I’ll point ‘em here and say “Top that!”.

P.S. And I know there’s some rare Hendrix and even rarer Page that comes close. And not forgetting Les Paul (for his time).

My dad's teaching me over the summer. tips, tricks? thanks =D
And he also gave be plenty warning about the pain, so building up protective calluses is my first thing on the list..

Don't get discouraged in the beginning because it will hurt a bit until your fingertips harden up.

Also try to learn how to read music for it. A lot of people don't and it gives you a leg up on what you can play compared to other people.

Other than that, just have fun.

I'm trying to bend the b string on the 14th fret and it keeps touching the g string and screwing up my song, any tips on how to make sure this doesn't happen?

can you mute the g string with your pick hand? you're gonna hit that string, for me it's a matter of finding a good way to mute the others

ive been playing acoustic for 3 months
and i really want to play electric
what are some good electric guitars you would recomend?
thx
ohh ok i have aroud 400 dollars
ohh ok i have around 400 dollars

Do not listen to what people say about which guitar is good for you.
go to a store that has playable guitars on display and try out as many different kinds as you can lay your hands on. Everyone has their own preferences, I prefer Schecter (spelled right?) and Fender myself, because that's what i've played my entire life. when someone suggested I try a Gibson SG I declined because I had gone to the local guitar store and tried several SG''s and didn't like the way they felt when I played them.

however, some things to note:
with humbuckers you generally get a more robust sound and you can more easily oull off pinch harmonics, etc. these are good for metalheads…

single coils are more "classic" and will give a more full, clean sound, but often leave metal-lovers wanting more. if you are looking for a specific type of playing, do some research, you may be surprised at what you find…

i am having a hard time playing the cords on the guitar because i don't have good control of my fingers

try learning the chords as “families” (by key) that can be combined into great-sounding chord sequences that make up lots of popular songs. Using this chord family approach is much more interesting and useful than just memorizing a bunch of chords in random order!

These chords grouped by chord family (key) are as follows:

A Family (Key of A): A, D, E

D Family (Key of D): D, Em, G, A

G Family (Key of G): G, Am, C, D, Em

C Family (Key of C): C, Dm, Em, F, G

Tips for Learning the Basic Chords:

1. Pick a Chord Family and master it. This will give you quick success and let you play great sounding progressions right away.

2. Use a Guitar Chord Chart as a reference tool. A chord chart shows each chord as an easy to read “chord diagram” with exact finger positions. See this example of a chart of basic guitar chords.

3. Find the chords and lyrics for an easy song that is based on the chord family so you can apply your skills. Many great songs are based on only three chords!

4. Ensure each string sounds right. Take care to make sure that each string is sounding clearly, and that only the strings that should be played are played.

5. Practice, practice, practice! Every day, practice continually change from one chord to another until you can do it rapidly. Learn the chord families one at a time.

6. Master all the basic chords first. Only then move on to Barre chords and other more complex chords. First things first!

7. Expand with 7th chords. As a next step you can easily expand on your basic chord knowledge by adding 7th and minor 7th chords based on the nine basic major and minor chords.

8. Have fun using your new skills! Enjoy your musical ability by applying it to learning a small set of 5-10 songs you know really well and can confidently play at any time.
