Dinaga18th September 2011Although this lesson has been torturing my fingers for so long now, it's definitely one of my favorites here! Your technique is flawless, I hope to be able to post a decent take of this one day
And I have to say, hearing you play this live (in Marquee) was something that inspired me to start seriously working on my technique for the first time in my life. Thank you Muris!!!

- Muris Varajic25th November 2008
Thanks Gerardo.
Not sure if I understood you correctly tho.
Oro means "dance song" in macedonian language.
Now Mojo,in bosnian we use word Moje (my/mine)
but I wanted to give it the rhyme so I changed it into Mojo. 
Gerardo Siere25th November 2008Incredible playing Muris, is it possible for you to tell us more about the song. (I remember that it was not a good idea to know what Mojo Ore means, but whatever...)
- Muris Varajic25th November 2008

- Muris Varajic24th November 2008
Delay has nothing to do with any kind of magic,
if there is any.
It's just stereo delay(I guess),not sure of the timing,
maybe around 400-500ms. 
Gus24th November 2008Yep! Finally!
This is one of my favorite instrumental songs ever!
This will be my alternate picking practice for the months to come.
I can see now from the lesson that part of the magic com from proper delay settings. Can you tell the timing of delay you are using?
Jad Diab24th November 2008Love it ! I always love mojo oro, cool to see it as a lesson, defenitly going to learn it

- Lesson
- My notes
Hello everybody and welcome to "Mojo Oro" lesson serial. I've had many requests to do this song as a lesson so finally here it is. :)
This first part covers opening section-main theme and a second part of main theme. Now, I guess you'll have most of the problems with grooves so let me explain that first.
Main theme is actually nothing but 2 bars of 4/4 measure PLUS one extra pre-beat or pre-bar of 1/4. So it should be counted as 1+8(1+2x4). Then comes the second part of main theme. This part switches between 5/8 and 7/8 bars and it has only one 1/4 pre-bar at the beginning of this section, rest of it is just 5/8,7/8,5/8,7/8 etc.
After that we simply go back to main theme and play it once,that's all.
Scale wise, most of the time it's E Phrygian over E chord and D Dorian #4(same notes as E Phrygian tho) over Dm chord. Later on we include scales such as A Dorian #4 and B E Phrygian. Tempo is 170 bpm.
I truly hope you'll enjoy this lesson as much as I enjoyed making it for you.
Please let me know if you have any questions! :)
