Andrew Cockburn30th January 2008Spot on Muris - really had that Knopfler vibe!
buttmonk30th January 2008cool, at the start I thought it sounded like ZZ Top, but then the Kopfler really kicked in:)
Muris Varajic31st January 2008Thanks,and I DO like ZZ Top but that's not topic of this lesson. ![]()
WTN6th February 2008Same here - that ZZ Top vibe came to mind. Fantastic Muris. I love that style. I will have to learn this one.
Nemanja Filipovic6th February 2008yeah!!!..great lesson...Tocak:)
WTN12th February 2008Muris. In video 4 the first two notes are missing from the tab. I think they are (1) forth string seventh fret harmonic and (2) third string seventh fret - with hybrid picking. Is this correct?
Muris Varajic12th February 2008Those are "ghost" notes,kind a "raking" but with fingers,
not fretted notes or harmonics.
You may add it or not,doesn't effect the lesson AT ALL.
Thanks for noticing tho. ![]()
WTN14th February 2008I hear an A and a D - can you explain exactly where and how you are playing these ghost notes.
Hate to be a PITA, but I cannot tell from the video. Thanks.
Muris Varajic14th February 2008You just mute string/s above the one you're playing the note on(usually with left hand)
and you "pick" it with thumb or/and index,while using ring finger to play "real" note,
on high E string this time.
Really sort of raking,you just use fingers instead of pick.
Hi Muris,your lessons are great but i JUST WANT TO KNOW WHY ARE YOU USING G DORIAN IF THE PROGRESSION IS IN G MINOR OR Bb Major,you should you should use G Aeolian instead of G dorian or am I wrong
Muris Varajic29th February 2008Hi Rov and welcome to GMC! ![]()
That's actually very good question but here's how I see those things.
Dorian mode comes from minor modes family(with minor 3rd)
and I still use to call it key of Gm.
In modern notation it's written with 2 flats(just like natural Gm)
but we release Eb into E each time.
In older stuff it's written with only one flat like "real" G Dorian
but don't be confused with that,just try to like at Dorian mode as a minor mode,
you'll be fine. ![]()
But,wouldnt the E natural note in the g dorian clash with the eb note found in the porgression as it is in the key of g minor
or are you using it just as a passing note
Muris Varajic1st March 2008There isn't Eb note in progression,
that's why it's straight G Dorian. ![]()
Wonderful Thank's
Muris Varajic14th March 2008You're welcome,glad you've joined! ![]()
Carlos Carrillo25th March 2008fantastic lesson Muris!!!!

Muris Varajic8th May 2008Cheers,glad you like it ![]()
Pi3814th May 2008Oh, man this one is awesome! I love your use of the blues scale. It sounds so cool, and for some reason reminds me of "Radar Love" by White Lion. Which is a very, very good thing, in my opinion.
Muris Varajic15th May 2008Radar Love is great! ![]()
sigma717th August 2008r u usuing a pick or just ur thumb? haha perfect accuracy
Muris Varajic17th August 2008No pick here Sigma7,just fingers. ![]()

comments are welcome
nice lesson muris!
Muris Varajic6th February 2009Nicely done!
Maybe you should try with less gain next time,
more like overdrive, it'd be better articulated. ![]()
hm, jup, youre right
and also, my schoolmusicteacher suddenly turn my guitar waaay too loud
but, im planning on getting a line-6 pedal,
so i'll get the 'money for nothing' preset from the custom tone site ![]()
Muris Varajic7th February 2009Sounds cool, hope you'll like it! ![]()






We had a request in forum for a lesson inspired by Money For Nothing tune, which I love. So, more drive time but it's still typical Mark, nice phrasing, his trademark finger-picking, bends etc.
