Kurt is magic

[@jivinmiles6352]

Sharkeys warmup literally blew everyone’s mind

[@ChaseMaddox]

It really did 😄

[@johnhendricks8140]

Sharkey, and Letteri are my two favorites to listen to for sure.

[@danhusband6154]

Having been stuck playing alone in my garage for the past couple years due to the pandemic… this was so inspiring to get back out there and find some players to jam with again

[@ChaseMaddox]

Awesome! Love to hear that! 🤘

[@JustinMoreira]

Wish I knew this was happening!! Will there be another one soon??

[@gr8tbigtreehugger]

Many thanks for sharing this insightful session!

[@Ivan_Ku.]

Thank you very much for this video!! And it is really great that you put questions in the chapters! These guys are unreal!

[@bilaerbilaer2135]

50:34 my favorite

[@Tristanrgreene11]

All these dudes wow. All down to earth yet not even from earth! I can relate in certain ways, but I’m a drummer, so these guys make it all happen. They are painters, I’m the road along with the bass player(s) and I’m happy to let any players like this drive us and together hopefully we stay in the pocket and also drive directly off the cliff of musical madness. Such interesting guys and players it’s great to hear their personality’s compliment their playing or see a bit more into their inner musical minds.

[@TheRealSandleford]

Got to love the eighths on the eyebrows. Holdsworth-esc comes to mind for me

[@thedonrizzguitar]

Wow! Excited to watch this, thank you!

[@ChaseMaddox]

Have fun! 🙌

[@MeluzHann]

This was so fun to wake up to, thank you🥰🎶🐣

Glad you enjoyed it Hannah! 🤘

Thanks for sharing!

[@ChaseMaddox]

Thanks for watching! 🤘

[@tapilaha]

i remember seeing the adds for that hiram bullock guitar and wanting one

[@louiekinger]

very cool approach from sharkey about your own voice: the things you take from the music you love is your personality coming through, get after it !

[@ChaseMaddox]

Absolutely! A great insight 👌

[@theliammoran27]

You should make a video about those warmups! Thanks for filming!

[@ChaseMaddox]

You read my mind! 😄👌

[@kevinmaddox]

Awesome masterclass 🤟

[@ChaseMaddox]

Thanks ✌️

[@jacoblabounty2836]

Thanks for posting (and for the timestamps), you had a much better view than my buddy and I did! Totally worth getting soaked in the rain for a bit with how sweet the shows were Sunday

30:25 lol I love Mark

[@nigelvonshredman]

Wow! 4 of the greatest guitarists of our time and not one guitarist in the audience

[@ChaseMaddox]

Lol! There were a few but they didn’t ask any questions 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@kaferboi]

10:48 i play this part like million times

wow

Kurt breaths fire!

[@ChaseMaddox]

He spits hot fiyaaa 🔥

yess that tone burned my four cheeks!

great, thanks. Two hundred dollar guitar..... "we listen" ❤

[@ChaseMaddox]

You’re welcome 🙏

[@soulbrotha4u]

GroundUp! I was sitting in the grass with my wife during this. Would of been cool to have Nir Felder and Rick Lollar as well. Blessings

[@ChaseMaddox]

Awesome! Definitely would’ve been great to have them join. I didn’t realize Rick Lollar was around as well that weekend.

[@Appalachian_Hippie]

These 4 on stage and someone asks what a pickup is…

[@ChaseMaddox]

Exactly. You should've seen my face when the lady asked them the difference between an electric and acoustic guitar 🤦‍♂️

[@koho]

Well, that was part of the point (not a masterclass). It's a mix of guitar nerds like us and music fans who may not know much about guitar. The question from the lady who plays acoustic was a good one, and Mark's rundown was great.

[@TarikAbouzied]

This is what public masterclasses always turn into. I wish they all began with an announcement like "Please limit questions to those that can't easily be answered with a single Google search."

[@koho]

@@TarikAbouzied Again, this was never presented as a Masterclass. Some of these same guys have done actual masterclasses, and they are structured, directed at players, with students having guitars in hand. Kurt Rosenwinkle has done some excellent ones; there are. numerous YT videos recycling content from those. And be sure to check out Mark's classes. Both the JamPlay one and the recent one on Brett Papa's channel are superb.

[@fredriknerli9197]

@@ChaseMaddox why be a dick? You shouldnt gatekeep music or great artists only for pros to experience and learn from…

[@dantedt3931]

From 4:25 The entire Q&A is hilarious!🤣

[@DigitalBirdie]

KR sure knows how to use the full fretboard ❤️‍🔥

[@ChaseMaddox]

Among other things 😄

[@aaronunroe5267]

“Being true to your heart, and your ears or something” too funny

[@giac7baci]

The way Isaiah shook his head when Mark said they would take his guitar away when he didn’t do his hw was so funny he felt that shit like yea me too fam 😭😂

[@ChaseMaddox]

Haha those little moments are the best

[@mikeunderforester]

😁👍

[@kenny69lover]

What guitar is Kurt playing that looks so rad

[@jellybaby9630]

Kurt Says He Exercises Every Day Many Scales

[@MaxIsBackInTown]

Isaiah has so much pocket when he’s playing.

[@ChaseMaddox]

💯

[@koho]

Was there, this was a lot of fun. But, correction, this was not a masterclass, it was a workshop aimed at both guitar nerds and general music lovers. Bob Reynold's workshop was also fantastic (I don't play sax).

[@ChaseMaddox]

4 Guitar masters + teaching = master class

[@koho]

​@@ChaseMaddoxMy source (besides actually being there): I was lucky enough to sit next to Mark Lettieri on the flight from Dallas to Miami. I did my best to not fanboy him to death, but did ask what the "workshops" were about (that's what they are called). he said it was just an informal Q&A with people asking random questions - which is what it was. Yes, Q&A to masters, but nothing like a real masterclass. But who cares?It was fun!

[@ChaseMaddox]

Lol exactly, who cares? Workshop and masterclass are used interchangeably, and "masterclass" is a better word choice for the KZbin title. Thanks for checking it out 🤘

[@koho]

@@ChaseMaddox You bet, and thank you for putting in all the production work on the video - very useful!

[@ChaseMaddox]

My pleasure! It's a lot of work, but worth it to capture these guys and come back to what they share 👍

[@creepingequinox7359]

Anyone know what guitar Kurt is playing? Anyways, nice vid.

[@ChaseMaddox]

Doesn't he say in this video?

[@GoGetFletch]

@@ChaseMaddox When? I must have missed it.

[@tombakalis9165]

I believe it's a Moffa

[@ChaseMaddox]

Not sure, just remember him explaining what guitar it is. Probably around when Sharkey explains what guitar he’s using.

[@jwallguitar]

Moffa

[@jiveturkey777]

Sharkey is funny and can play

[@hooninnpoonin3904]

How do I listen to these guitarist what band/bands?

[@andrewkeen3129]

Mark Lettieri and Chris McQueen are from Snarky Puppy. Isiah Sharkey is a legendary Neo-Soul/Gospel player but plays everything. Kurt Rosenwinkel is a legendary Jazz guitarist famous for his improvisational skills.

[@johnhendricks8140]

Just pull their names on what ever you listen to music on.

[@azhaz578]

Lmao of course Kurt is from Oak Park 😂 You could see it in Sharkeys face lollll

[@oscarradzom6173]

I love mansplaining about guitars :) Thanks for this super funny and interesting Masterclass.

[@dcwong-qp7ki]

Where are all the technical questions like triads, scales, arpeggios, substitutions or practice routines? All of these questions doesn't really help improve your playing to be honest.. (At least in my opinion) Don't get me wrong, I have learn so much from these Masters in the past and still this day and will continuing to learn from them. p.s. I really love all these Masters and appreciate all of their works but these questions are just doesn't really help about the playing..

[@annoingdude]

Guitarist are so fucking awkward around each other

[@ChaseMaddox]

Lol 😂

[@edwardbutler9840]

Good show but I wish the guy on the right wasn’t there to be honest.

[@ChaseMaddox]

Why?

[@dennisn.9583]

I don’t see any masters

[@ChaseMaddox]

None so deaf as those that will not hear. None so blind as those that will not see. - Matthew Henry

[@CarryMeIdaho]

lmao

[@winbub]

as long as you can hear them everything's fine :D

[@kerrybarnes7289]

have another listen, Kurt is next level Jazz

[@cyrnoz1803]

Educate yourself then, these guys are modern days guitar heroes each in their genre.
