Mark is a player we will be talking about for another 20 plus years.

[@grantwhite4201]

When Mark said near the front “There’s so many good guitar players, I’m lucky to have my job.” Here’s the difference, Mark, you write the music these guys play. In most cases, these people don’t/can’t write this kind of stuff. No hate towards any of these musicians, but it takes special talent to write it & have it connect, like Mark & Lamb if God do!

[@brianfleming9734]

Great comment. I been playing for years. Love to put heavy shit on and just jam along with. But I don’t write shit. I don’t got time for that. I just like to play and mark gives me plenty to jam with!

That’s it right there. Composing and covering are different beasts. Love the humility.

Yea he certainly influenced me and is actually the sole person responsible for me even being a little bit good today. I played for years and sucked. One day decided to start trying to learn tabs, I was about 15, 2 shitty years into playing. Anyway, look up Laid to Rest tabs and start out slow, ok I got the opening riff let's clean it up and speed it up. Before I knew it I was playing along. Mind = blown. I've been playing ever since. Thanks Mark.

[@shawnmcmanaman1]

Marks comment "we're a dime a dozen" couldn't be more wrong. I can play some of his songs, tons of people can copy his music but to be able to write and compose it is another talent in itself. He is more talented than he gives himself credit for. He's a legend in my eyes I've never heard anyone else put bluesy licks over metal riffs like he does. Truly unique

Man like 10 years ago when I was in a band we did alot of covers of Lamb of God, wish we recorded them but we never did, we just jammed alot of songs from Ashes of the Wake, Sacrament, and Wrath... Miss those old days

[@eanalbe3525]

Where's your band now mate?

[@mikereyes2488]

Long gone, I left because I didn't like the directions they were going, they wanted to shit out songs not practice them and waste money and time (5 to 6 hrs) at studio over 1 song, I on the other hand wanted to practice songs and play shows. After I left and was replaced they just fell apart I tried to get the boys back together a few years ago but they didn't have "time" to jam, yet I'm the only one who has 2 kids and still willing to play, buncha flakes Anyways after that I pretty much stopped playing

[@FanaticDrummer]

Tuukka Yea without the distortion it loses the effect.

[@jeffnewsome3003]

Mark... Today on my way home from work I was thinking about this video and some of the things you said. Like "I gotta get my chops up" "I'm lucky to have the gig I do" and "good guitarist are a dime a dozen". Now, while every one of those things could and may be true, the difference is YOU brother. If you left LoG and they picked up someone else, I guarantee you for a fact that replacement just couldn't be you. Ever. And you know it too. It's your unique style and writing style that makes you the god that you are today. And yes sir, you are a guitar god at this point. Also want to add that even tho we all know that you know that you're a fucking genius. Myself, I really enjoy and appreciate your modesty and ability to stay humble. You're a fantastic person (so it seems) and a brilliant guitarist. Just wanted to share that.

[@mitchellerickson9836]

There are definitely a ton of guitarists out there. More than any other instrument. But not many of them can create and be original. That's the difference

[@jdaniels8669]

Yee. It's relatively easy to pick up a guitar and learn how to play a few songs. But writing your own song that really sticks out is pretty goddamn hard. I've scrapped so much of my own stuff because they all just sounded like derivative rip-offs.

[@LostCause36]

J Daniels yeah man, I ha e too. I’m my worst critic, and I’ll just give up because all these great ideas come to me and I can’t pick which one I want. So I literally just stopped playing guitar after 15 years mainly bc of that. Lol

[@jeffreybailey2558]

It happens to all of us. As long as you don’t blatantly copy something. Yes I will agree we are our own worst critics. I have tons of music I use it to put all songs together. If I could sing I would have actual songs. It they are all instrumentals.

[@CasperTheGhost64]

When you've written so many songs you have to watch fan covers to remember how to play them

Really nice that @MarkMortonMusic appreciates these covers for what they are: (1) a means for musicians to learn, and seek feedback from others; (2) showcase skills to get into a local band; and (3) express admiration and respect for the artist(s) that wrote the music. Unfortanely Lamb's publisher doesn't feel the same way. I'm a drummer and, inspired by meeting @ArtCruzDrums at the UK Drum show last year, posted a cover of Laid to Rest recently, which was immediately blocked for copyright, as the publisher doesn't allow others to use the material. I did write to the publisher with my reasons (above) and seek permission, making clear that I'd credit the artists, and not make any monetary gain, but they didn't respond. Its a shame, because I think KZbin is a really powerful tool for bringing together musicians, and supporting learning.
