Can't Wait for Perfect (ft. Mark Lettieri) - Bob Reynolds Guitar Band

[@gametheoryplus]

Bob Reynolds is a man who knows how to wait for a note.

[@vpsaxman]

All of the musicians in this band do. They're a tasteful bunch of mofos.

[@adamtan1671]

Eric Garland but it seems he can't wait for perfect

[@yiu7437]

i think that he doesnt wait, he's making us wait

[@shiritzhaki5333]

Yiu it's all about the personal experience

[@yiu7437]

sure man

Video games don't make people violent, but giving me an ad so close to the climax of that solo might...

Adblock...

[@erictowle6584]

For sure an ill timed ad. But hey, gotta make money I suppose. They are undervalued musicians.

[@kilian1232340]

Mark Lettieri is the man!

[@SteuSax666]

I'm agree! ...and I love his guitar strap too! :)

[@DannyJamesGuitar]

Any idea what amp he's using there?

[@TySharron]

Some sort of Morgan amp. Possibly one of the SW amps? Sounds like a pretty American clean.

[@YMESYDT]

Danny James looks like a Morgan PR12

[@DannyJamesGuitar]

Thanks, appreciate it!

[@rafuncio21]

The smiling man from the crowd who just can't stop movin' his head, that man represents me.

[@andrewgodfrey4789]

I thought the same thing my dude. I wouldn’t be able to stop.

[@kennethdevoe3220]

How Mark Letteiri has the restraint to not immediately whip it out after a solo like that is beyond me.

[@gitsurfer27]

He probably viewed it as a waste of energy seen as they were all already pregnant

[@michaelmchenry8882]

kudos to the bass player for making the group shine, I'm a fan of bass solos but it's great when a bass player can keep it simple and in the pocket.

[@bobreynolds]

+Michael Mchenry amen

[@stefan-t--]

you cant hold no groove if you aint got no pocket

[@pierreg8562]

i thought the same thing, all musicians are insanely talented but i find the drums and bass to be absolutely spot on, subtle, no show off, just beautiful -

[@moreorlesslikeso]

Yeah, definitely so! It's there right from the beginning and you're immediately sensing it more than you consciously notice it.

[@kibavlood5826]

You kidding me? Is groove is insane....I started out as a bass player and still love harmony. It's class act how he keeps it tight and glues everyone, as a guitar player marks playing is insane but to me Bob stole the show, his well timed and dynamics pierces your soul and decapitates your head.....

[@somebodyelse6673]

This is what happens when the players love the music more than showing off. All the good things...

[@taylorhaney6968]

This song is my spirit animal. This is so in the pocket - absolute perfection. Bob is bringing saxy back. Mark is on another planet. Rhythm section is fire.

[@bobreynolds]

Thanks!

[@Phoboss32]

Each of them are at MAESTRO level of their instruments AND great musicians!

[@lemaitrethemonk]

How can you listen to this live and SIT STILL! This audience needs to let their soul wake up...

[@cooldebt]

They were probably afraid they would spill their drinks 🤦‍♀

[@CallSignJammer]

Kudos to the guitar soloist for not opening it up too much. Kept it clean and sexy the whole way. When guys go wide open on this type of genre it can kill the mood. Leave space, less is more. This was awesome. Thanks KZbin for recommending this video. I'm going to go head-first down a rabbit hole now, thanks to these gentlemen.

[@bobreynolds]

🙏🏻

[@ozprimo]

5:40 to 10:00 minutes. Mark is on fire here! Few solos have ever made me this happy.

[@RyanTSattler]

Here's another to bring you to this happy place. kzbin.info/www/bejne/r2q9fYdtnapof8U

[@saxofonistacr]

I came for the sax and I was happily surprised by this great player that keeps it mostly simple , melodic, has an incredible groove and certainly can take it out and stretch it too

[@venon74]

5:35 Mark Lettieri. You welcome.

[@EricLeCrennSanchez]

I was just listening to The Fearless Flyers and was like, why is that name so familiar? I gotta look this guy up more, he’s fantastic.

[@FaithQuest]

Why am I just finding this now?? This is so good!

[@fnkdrmr86]

The bass is really powerful in this song. Wow!

[@petermoss5341]

Drummer is like a human click track. He makes the whole thing go round. Everyone is very talented in this band, but to me, the drummer is supreme.

[@ov8857]

If you're a fan of tight drummers, (and haven't heard) these guys have father time on the beats. kzbin.info/www/bejne/p2XbfKl-drOkoM0 (as well as the song 'Friday morning' in this same set will make you think this guy has a metronome in his brain.)

[@sandenson]

That's Sput for you!

[@cseymour88]

Mark's tones and phrasing always sound so good! Stellar performance from everyone involved here. Great mixing too.

[@yuzhang8941]

Bob Reynolds is a man who knows he can wait for the perfect note.

[@MoonWalkerTexsRanger]

Mark's solo get better every new listening

[@simonbackwash]

And that's why DYNAMICS are so important to have in your basket if you're a musicien

[@alexjackson8841]

I really feel like the drummer needs credit just for the pressure of everyone there relying on him to keep perfect time and he does it like a human metronome

[@robj3256]

is that Roy and Jane's son?

[@basilmboshi]

Nah the Robert Sput

[@vickidrakopoulou1591]

This music is incredible. It enters my heart, mind and soul. There is beauty in our world, you bring us much joy. Wow.

[@bobreynolds]

🙏

[@TheBrotesque]

Came here for the absolutely top-notch players, but can we take a moment to appreciate the audio engineers responsible for recording and mixing? My GOD this is one of the most effortless mixes I've ever heard.

[@thesoundofgianlucabuscaglia]

I need no waiting: Perfect IS there with this composition. It builds up a beautiful atmosphere....a pleasure and bliss to listen to it over and over

[@AndriyBalinskyy]

brilliant musicians, no doubts!! many people say about how good sax and guitar are and I totally agree. But just want to say that bass guitar here is very simple, not overplayed and damn tasty.

[@bobreynolds]

Amen to this: "bass guitar here is very simple, not overplayed and damn tasty."

[@dwight9982]

Damn nasty.... making me sick😷....btw drummer was awesome with control and timely fills...ahhhhhhh it’s freaking awesome 👏🏾 job well done Sir Reynolds and accompanying band mates

[@AdamLeeGuitarist]

What an insanely perfect way to end this series. Mark's solo is one of the best things I've heard. Ever... And the tone, and the exceptional recording! There has to be some magic room mic fairy in the room. Amazing!

[@andresallende3623]

i think same as you. beautiful song and band! a master piece!. the room have awesome, awsome acoustic, the drummer barely touches the cymbal and sounds very very clear and clean ! ( sorry for my english! jaja)

[@61forestwind]

There has to be good acoustic treatment there... something very rare in live venues...

[@alisov233]

Adam, we need new vids from you also...

[@jas_bataille]

Not necessarily treated. I've seen the wonders that a great filed recording artist can make, my dad been in the business for over 30 years... Things had to be EQ'd out (like the two guys talking at the beginning) but they worked the room by bringing all the people real close - great trick, our bodies's mass work wonders! Man I heard nature footage with wind and cars and all kind of shit coming clean and rich after 100% manual EQ no de-esser...

[@kckrye]

Right on! The tone is awesome!

[@enorrushi]

How can these musicians be so talented and yet so restrained 😮

[@monkemonke965]

That’s what makes them extra-talented! :)

[@valentinolupi1]

One of the most beautiful pieces that I've ever hear

[@ericmyrs]

It's been almost 10 years, and I still can't get over how good this song its.

[@flamencodiablo007]

mind blowing track! Ironically enough, the guy standing back playing subtle quarter notes most of the time is the craziest player of the whole bunch!!! (Nir Felder)

[@yanivphotos]

Bob is the kind of musician that makes wana listen to the younger generation of musicians!

[@lelov1392]

Mark’s articulation, phrasing, timing is on a boss level!!!

[@vincechadwick6829]

Love the fact that the world's most perfect guitar solo includes every guitarist's nightmare where you hit the pedal for more dirt and ruin the effect by losing too much volume. And still perfect!

[@AsadSafuan]

When a guitarist like Mark came along.....he brought the 'big wave' that swipped off all other new gen guitarist like Guthrie, Andy Wood, Tom Quayle, Jack Rhammarat and etc. Mike is truly a guitarist's guitarist! Hats off toMark and the rest of the superb band members.

[@pattoratto402]

KZbin probably just stopped recommending them

[@imadlebiar1546]

After a full year of listening to this masterpiece , it stills one of the few purest and most beautiful ever !

[@nicolasgiliberti1942]

Mark Fcking Lettieri. He's on a league of his own. holy moly, that was sick. I must admet that i never liked guitar as instrument, but this guy reedems it. Thats how a strat must sound

[@Mr1GingerBread1]

If you liked him try Adam Rogers or Wayne Krantz. Theres an album by Chris Potter called Ultrahang, which showcases such a strat sound wonderfully. Happy holidays!

[@iandiandi]

Apart from the fantastic music somebody should nominate the guys who filmed this for an Oscar. Brilliant unobtrusive filming that enhances a great performance.

[@michaelthomas9340]

This is so good it resets what "so good" is.

[@GadgetAddicted]

The color grade on this video is FIRE!

[@shaney8275]

Found this completely by accident. It is unfathomable to me that anyone who claims to like music could dislike this video. Taste and jams all wrapped into a supremely executed package. What great players.

[@Angel-fz8dr]

No need to wait, Bob. It's perfect!

[@nboutant]

Some one says one day that perfection wasn't part of our world... what a mistake !!

[@mikaailahmed5679]

8:44 - The guy in the background headbanging, that's how I feel throughout the guitar solo! Hats off Mark!!

[@SAM197470]

Mark is a pure genius. Real Jeff Beck vibes 🔥

[@brucebain6538]

One of the most beautiful jazz performances and bass rhythms I have ever heard. This was a great performance and I really got into hearing Kaveh Rastegar play his bass. I think these guys just made musical history.

[@ptinajasr01]

Every solo in this piece of music teaches how dynamics should be managed!

[@jeggarty]

I always come back to this to watch Mark's solo again. Too good. Perfect blend of silky and nasty

[@matyimusic]

The musical interaction between Bob and Mark at 3:32 gives me goosebumps every time I hear it. A great example of how to pay attention to your fellow musicians and react on their ideas, build upon them.

[@TheloniusJ]

This is so phenomenal. I literally watch this 3-5 times a day. I heard you guys never played these tunes together before this. Incredible. Mark's tone and phrasing are simply perfect.

[@bobreynolds]

thanks! correct: no rehearsal, no sound check, never played as a group before the live recording. ;)

[@TheloniusJ]

Fantastic. I greatly appreciate you posting these and for the feedback. Really incredible stuff.

[@TheloniusJ]

@@bobreynolds Odd technical question (specific to Mark's guitar sound): is the reverb on this guitar the actual room (looks like it is a live room) or something he is adding in? Comparing it to your sax sound, it seems like the latter, but I'm not sure. It is SOOOO good. Also, a group I'm playing with is planning on covering this tune. Do we owe you royalties? :)

[@wyndhl9465]

This is Organic Jazz - smooth, progressive and well-constructed. Bob uses patience and skill to tailor a wonderfully cohesive solo which climaxes itself into a magna-laude flurry of excellent brilliance.

[@boomerdell]

I've listened to and watched this performance way more times than I can count...and there has yet to be even a sliver of a shadow of a hint that I might ever tire of it.

[@williesiekman207]

Mark Lettieri is an amazing blues player

[@jesuschrist8037]

I don't think he would pigeonhole himself as just a blues player, he's got all kinds of stuff going on up in that noggin'

[@mitchellrosenthal6305]

One of the greatest guitar solos I've ever heard, plain and simple.

[@originaljamtracks]

This is the real deal folks, musicians at the very top of their game

[@falfonsogo]

I'm playing this on Bass ... Every weekend I start to jam with this ... so nice ...... soft.. cool ... nice ...

[@demosongsheetmusic]

I've just discovered this amazing piece! What a band! 🤩 I feel like that uncle who didn't come to see a newborn baby.. for five years! But now I'm here, on your 5th birthday, and I'll never leave you, kid ❤

[@Haffo24]

John Mayer would slot in just right with these guys.

[@bobreynolds]

He did instagram.com/p/BbPY0qUn4HE/?igshid=9ho8fsnw1d64

[@petermoss5341]

No because his big ego would ruin the entire thing and John would have to have some screaming lead solo over everything.

[@jtmarinuk]

Killer tune and band. That solo from Mark Lettieri though ... Just insane. Definitely one of the best solos I've ever heard on any instrument.

[@rubencataldi6082]

Awesome guys!!!!!!

[@gothicu]

When I first listened tot this song almost instantly I felt a connection like hearing from an old friend after a longtime. Me and this tune just resonate. This tune is so good and I thought they don't make music like this anymore. Much respect for the talent in that room.

[@kyurox603]

...when nodding one's head becomes the highest form of appreciation.

[@rjones377]

I love the slow and steady, tasteful build up of action, and the release. It's easy to get the pace wrong but you guys nail it. Everyone plays energetically but not forcefully, and everyone remains aware of their place in the group without stepping on each other. The quality of the production makes me feel like I'm in the room with you guys. Great performance!

[@bobreynolds]

+Ryley Jones thanks for noticing all those details, Ryley. :)

[@MartinPiron]

That guitar solo is out of this world ! And the groove and sound of everyone is just as much. I'm amazed with the perfection of the material the jazz musicians and recording engineers can bring to us nowadays...

[@mlykke]

Stumpled upon this by accident, but this is the best 13 minutes of music I've heard in MANY years. The tone, the nuance, the subtleties, the stories. Each musician creates a universe of pure magic and together it's just out of this world! I will be listening to this for years to come and I'm sure I'll keep discovering new details and nuances! Thank you so much for this!

[@joshuacrime]

Huzzahs all around for the wire choir. Nice stuff, Bob. Smooth...so smooth and smoky. I love how different it all sounds compared to Snarky. So much sonic territory is taken up by all the keys and horns. This has so much space. The guitar players always know how to use as little as possible to get an atmosphere. And all the solos are so tasty and absolutely on point.

[@gonzacollao]

[@timstahl1011]

Lettieri is such a masterful and clever player it would be difficult to find a peer on his level of virtuosity. He can even drop his pick mid performance and not miss a beat. Incredible.

[@anmolatwal]

True!! But that was him adjusting the volume on the drive pedal!!
