I've been listening to John McLaughlin since discovering the MO over 46 years ago, without any but the most rudimentary sense of just how complex the music was. (No musical training). Watching this video was like opening up a fine Swiss watch and actually seeing the mechanism in operation. I still don't "get" how the gears all mesh together, but it's obviously been crafted by someone a whole lot smarter than I am!

Relatable. I was gifted BoF when I had just turned ten years old and I hadn't heard anything like it in my life. It took me repeated phases of listening to it carefully (especially after I took up drums in sixth grade) to even start to understand what I was hearing, and then finding the sheet music book in high school helped crack the code for me. I've taken up other instruments since (most recently guitar) and now I can see that this MO material *is playable* if you apply yourself. I was rather proud of myself when I tried to learn the "BoF" head melody from a magazine transcription and realized that there was a discrepancy between that transcription and both what was in my head and what my fingers wanted to do - and I discovered the MO sheet music book agreed with me! It was as though listening to the music for decades had internalized the act of playing the line in my mind and that internalization had escaped to my fingers naturally.

Thank you for making this vid!! There are not many vids on Birds Of Fire where the piece is played correctly. You are the only guitarist that I've seen play it correctly. I learned this piece by ear in 1980 by lifting the tone arm up and down on a Technics turntable 😅.....though I was classically trained and that helped immensely.. ..You are a universal guitarist!

24/7 Guitar with Howard Hart No problem man! Hey I have just one question about birds of fire. If the chords are based around Ab and Bb Super Locrian, how come you can improvise in E blues and it sounds right?? Thanks for the reply.
@247GuitarwithHowardHart
4 жыл бұрын
Sorry... this one slipped by me. My guess is that it simply adds tension, rather than clashing with the chords. In his book, J.M. simply states "E Pentatonic Minor may be interspersed" - He actually takes that approach on several compositions in the book. I think possibly he was always looking to interject the blues element into the music... just a guess on my part :-)

24/7 Guitar with Howard Hart Awesome thanks for the reply! Makes sense now, that’s one of the things I love about McLaughlins playing. He’s a jazz player and has immense musical knowledge but he’s not afraid to rock out with distortion, always has a Bluesy vibe to him.

Howard, thanks so much for this lesson on McLaughlin. Ever since I was turned on to him in the '70s, he's been a favorite. Now that I'm striving to become a mediocre guitar player, your explanations have helped tremendously in breaking McLaughlin down so that even I can follow. I'm wondering if you have considered doing a lesson on Goodbye Pork Pie Hat as recorded on My Goals Beyond; it's got to be one of his all-time best songs, IMHO. Thanks again. Allan

Great job. However I always found it very difficult to play the low notes on the Meeting arpeggios without using my left thumb, and if you check out the old live videos, this is indeed how John fingered it; by wrapping his thumb around the neck. You've obviously mastered it though!

Man, I always had a question. Why when I listen to the beginning of "Faith", the 12 strings guitar sounds like if John was making another arrangement with higher notes? Yes, I can listen the arpeggio that you are making on this video, but I think something else is missing! I don't know, maybe I'm in an error. 🤔

It is interesting... the recording does seem to have that 'effect' - and the 12 string obviously has the octaves ringing out. But in J.M.'s book, he doesn't offer up another part. One can only guess as to how he layered it.
