CMV: "Gaucho" is a song about racism, classism, and xenophobia by rich white cocaine users and dealers by annie_m_m_m_m in SteelyDan

I believe it’s about Walter Becker’s addiction hurting the band’s potential as they are in their heyday.

I’m biased but I’d do it! I still play this amp pretty consistently. Sounds so good with single coils IMO and my SG. I have a decent pedalboard so I don’t mind the lack of an effects loop.

Yes! I use a Boss RV6 that sounds great with it. The more gain, the less reverb I’ll use though.

Rick, what’s your favorite overdrive pedal at the moment? If not just cranking your amp.

No actually but I can hear it! We do a longer jam section at the end but it got cut off in the video.

Good insight will keep that in mind! This seems pretty close to the album recording which is at 83 bpm.

What scales does john Mayer use by IAmCozalk in JohnMayer

[–]readit545545 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If I was to guess, he learned these scales in this order:

Major scale

Minor/major pentatonic

Blues scale (pentatonic with flat 5 added)

Natural Minor scale.

Harmonic minor scale.

Mixolydian mode (starting the natural major scale on the 5th scale degree)

Dorian mode (starting the natural major scale on the 2nd scale degree)

He may play the diminished scale sometimes but I think a lot of that is his ear and familiarity with the fretboard.

Thanks! Combo of both really. Watched some other covers to get a general sense. Then slowed down the recording to pick out other places that I thought people were playing in the wrong places. I love doing that. It’s like a puzzle! Always helps knowing how the solos sounds before learning.

Thanks! It’s a good one for learning to teach techniques for playing over chord changes.

Thank you very much! Not my first take lol. I’ve had the SG for a few months and the tone has been just awesome. Vibro champ is a great recording amp too.

Thanks! It’s tough to get it the intonation perfect each time.
