Marc Diglio of XYZ walks through ALL His Guitar Parts from the song Inside Out

[@jerrycox946]

I'll never forget being in my car smoking a bowl and listening to XYZ in the parking lot of Moby Grape in Las Vegas and Marc, Pat and Mitch the road manager came up to my car and asked who I was listening to, I said XYZ and Marc said yeah, that's us. One of the coolest moments in my Life. Thanks man.

[@seradril12]

One of the Best riff of the 80s hard rock by far , and the solo Its like van halen mets Warren demartini.. justs amazing marc! Hi from Spain!

[@MarcDiglio]

Wow, thanks! And thanks for reaching out!!

[@badchihuahuamusic7031]

this is one if all time fav songs, never gets old man, never❤️‍🔥

[@evalex71]

Still one of the most badass riffs ever written

[@therealmillerman]

This man created the coolest guitar riff ever.

[@lorenzomartone1476]

Hi Marc, My name is Lorenzo and I'm a 53-year-old guitar player from Italy. I've been a fan of yours for as long as I can remember, and I still listen to XYZ's albums all the time. Your music has always been a source of inspiration for me, and I've learned so much from listening to your playing. I've been playing guitar for over 35 years now, and I still aspire to be as good as you someday. Your solos and riffs are so incredibly creative and expressive, and they always blow me away. I'm so grateful for the emotion and joy that your music has brought into my life.I know you're probably busy, but I just wanted to take a moment to express my gratitude for your incredible talent. You're one of the greatest guitarists of all time, and I'm so proud to be a fan. Thank you for everything. Lorenzo

[@GregStauffer]

I'm sure My story is alot like others... The first time I heard XYZ I had to have it! I swear That CD lived in a Player for a long time! And still Jam to XYZ as one of the main artists I Play. I am so glad I landed on your YT videos! Marc you are one of my personal Favs..! I have studied for hours upon hours and never gets old. It all holds up to today with the gritty bluesy tight riffs... Great guitarist / writer.... Forever Fan GS

[@4rct1c9Ic3m4n]

Talent is talent. It never goes away. Love your style Marc so much party vibe.

[@gwmcklintock]

LOVE that song! Man I miss the 80's...

[@avman1339]

I used "Inside Out" to demo my Klipsch KLF-30s w/DefTech Trinity sub system to a friend and former coworker from the Audio/Video biz..He is younger than me and there was always a friendly old vs new school rivalry going on between us. Well, he was astonished by the performance, and your guitar work has a lot to do with that. Thank you!

[@timothy5974]

This is really cool Marc, I can’t tell you how many times I would search for you on the internet and wasn’t much there. I do want you to know that the guitar community ( if I can speak for all of us) is really excited for your channel to grow and to begin this journey with you. Thanks !!🤘🤘🤓

[@AudaciousAce1989]

Same here! Would always search and not much would show up. So you're definitely not just speaking for yourself

[@mattcasey3779]

Totally agree!

[@jefferybarnett2073]

Same!! Always a huge fan of the playing and the tone!

[@billyhiggins1908]

I am in tears with a big smile

[@PKC-r7w]

XYZ should have been mega huge!

[@jandvadams]

The first time I heard XYZ I was blown away. I truly mean that. The first album was so good. Every song was a banger. Inside Out blew me away. Maggie, Nice Day To Die, Take What You Can, Follow the Night, Souvenirs. Come on and Love Me. Damn what a great album. And produced by Don Dokken nonetheless. Thank you for sharing this.

[@user-ho5vz5tg3r]

Souvenirs is one of my favorites.

[@davidcardona2772]

Agreed in all you says ..it was a full blown up.I just loved it.

[@josephdow9205]

The ballads had some of the most memorable solos ever and the rockers, well they just blew the roof off.

[@MrJohnnyDistortion]

That was very kind of you to show us those sweet and very expressive licks. 👉🏽👍🏽🫵🏽

[@_Urahara_Kisuke_]

I was totally HOOKED by the way you fill up a song when I first heard the XYZ album. You are AMAZING! ❤

[@mariosaev4657]

❤Best Rockman Marc Diglio GuitarMan!!! ..... ❤Great Melodic Rock Band XYZ!!!❤

[@hughle2579]

Hi Marc, Hugh here from Canberra, Australia, I was fortunate enough to have bought your old Sunburst Gibson Les Paul a few years back, I still play it today, what a guitar that is. Love your playing by the way, hope you are well maestro !!! 🙏🙏🙏

[@eddiepigg5333]

I love how melodic your solos are on the first album. The riffs are outstanding and that album is a true masterpiece in my eyes.❤️🤘

[@markbirchette8740]

Such a gem of a song and guitar parts. Thanks, Marc! From, Utah.

[@xXsch3ricXx]

This gave me the shivers, just as much when first seeing the original video. The spirit never dies. Thanks Marc !!!

[@2bookoo4u]

I am so glad you are back!!!! I could sit and watch you play all day. Thank you for making this!!!!

[@mattcrumbley6923]

Would love a video like this for Face Down in the Gutter!

[@MarcDiglio]

I'm working on more in the coming days, weeks, months, etc. I'm so glad you're enjoying it!

[@johnmarshall3903]

Totally agree. Would love to hear what amps and equipment he used on that Hungry album too.

[@philliphackney7451]

Sounding killer, one of my favourite XYZ songs. 🤘🎸

[@CammedFox]

Marc so glad for this!! I'd been playing it wrong forever. Now I learn it from the master himself

[@MarcDiglio]

So glad it helped!

[@alexwout4580]

After all those years still my favorite song to play.

[@SEILLC]

XYZ & Hardline were in my tape & CD players all summer long back then.

[@charlesschlue306]

The first 2 XYX albums were masterpieces. I'm glad that one of my favorite guitar players is back! Hopefully things work out and we get a 3rd (real) XYZ album. They tried, but it just wasn't XYZ without you.

[@robertmazurowski5974]

I love XYZ, been listening regurarly since 2008. Every year at least several times.

[@nightly522]

absolutely fantastic. thank you so much for your contributions to rock music!!

[@dinofurlan3745]

Great riff mate.....one of the best....perfect song!!.....

[@yaroshpetr1]

Legend Marc!

[@espojespo5]

How friggin cool is the swagger and swing that opening riff has?! What a monster!!

[@WeeFreeMan78]

Hell yeah, my first guitar playing milestone was nailing the main riff by ear 😄 Oh man, I felt so proud when I finally got it down... And to this day, it's the first thing I play when I get warmed up. Can't thank you enough brother 🙏

[@jamesmccormick875]

I was a huge fan of XYZ and especially your playing.

[@alphalonzo]

I never thought this day would come where I would be watching a lesson on Inside Out from the man himself! Marc, thank you for starting up this channel. Like many others here, I am a massive fan of yours. Whenever I talk shop with my guitar buddies about influences and incredible players from my genre spectrum (I'm the 80s metal dude in my group), I always tell em' "one of the most incredible players to ever come out of the 80s metal era is XYZ's Marc Diglio. Check his work out." Keep it coming and rocking, and Cheers from the Philippines!

[@TravisOnGuitar]

At last, the video and channel I’ve been waiting for since the last century, even before YT was invented. Thanks so much for doing this and please keep the videos coming!

[@desipelletier2981]

Kick ass love your playing Marc I listen to it on the way to work every morning

[@12hendren]

Marc! You are super talented. Thank you for sharing. Rick Hendren

[@baslanting7960]

This is so cool! Recently been learning all my favorite xyz songs, super helpful to see how the man himself plays it! Some of the best playing of that whole era of guitar! Rock on Marc!

[@rickythegun1]

Whoa! So glad to find this. Mark has been like a ghost for the last 20 years. (Much like Vito Bratta). Awesome to see him sharing online.

[@getchapull4370]

This is classic hard rock boys & girls, perfect riff & lead break from Marc, with Terry, Paul and Pat also doing the business, this is a great, great track, more people should know about XYZ, hard rock with class, style & balls! I appreciate those first 2 albums, they are gold to me, I purchased the remastered self titled album a couple of years back, sounds stellar! I remember checking this band out when I read in a UK metal/rock magazine Don Dokken was producing the first album, I'm a massive Dokken/Lynch fan, so I had to check this band out, I was not disappointed, mega stuff! 19 when I bought the first album, 53 now & still listening, & that's not gonna change. Thank you so much for these videos Marc, please keep entertaining your fans with your playing & stories, much respect bro. Cheers

[@FunkymetalBL]

Hey Marc I think I owe you royalties, I may have played the Inside Out riff more than you 😂. Every time I play it, someone says cool, is that an original? And I always say “nope, XYZ” and then I tell ‘em to check you out 👍🏼. I love your playing and have been listening for years. Saw you guys at a club called Axis in Boston way back in 1990 😳 . Great show! Keep rockin’ Marc!

[@shahrilshazo1478]

Wow, just stumbled upon this channel and I love your playing Marc. One of my favourite solos of all time is the wonderful power ballad When I Find Love from Hungry. Hope you can make a video of that beautiful solo. Thanks for creating the channel Marc, respect!

[@SurviveTheDay]

Marc, ‘Inside Out’ is such an iconic song and hear and see you breaking it down is amazing. You’re such a humble man. Much success to you in all you do.

[@louielinguini1]

Awesome stuff right here!🙌🎸🔥

[@kowbowski954]

This is so badass man! Huge inspiration! It makes me so happy seeing you around!!!

[@KingOfCats7]

Thanks for posting this man! You rock, glad to see you revisiting this stuff. You're a huge inspiration!

[@mattcasey3779]

I am so stoked you put this out there. I’ve been trying to fake my way through playing along to this song for years. That slide/tapping/harmonic part is killer. I hope you are doing well!

[@steverogers1298]

One my favorites thanks Marc for sharing this with your fans! You're so talented, man. GOD BLESS and sure appreciate your taking time to do this

[@AydinZahedi]

Oh I'm so happy to see this channel! You are one of my guitar heroes. I can't describe how excited I was when I saw the Inside Out video clip on a VHS the first time. I was hoping you would start a KZbin channel. You are a legend!

[@jasonmartin7137]

Marc, I'm ashamed to admit that I'd never heard this song til early 2024. And I was like- WTH??!! I watched a lot of MTV back in '89. lol. Not gonna lie- Thuindersteruck is my all time favorite song, but this riff and song rank right up there with it. Thanks for the new memory for me.

[@andysetiawan680]

Wow .. awesome skill , love it marc

Man, that’s cool. I was just learning this a couple months ago and I’m so stoked that you’ve got a channel going. That slide trick makes so much sense now!

Grew up jaming with this group as a teenager..Ive played guitar since i was 13 and 53 now and i still love playing these older songs..Alot of them are getting harder to do with age,hands do not move and stretch as much as they use to😂..Perfect video dude..

Loved the guitar on those xyz albums... would be interested in what gear he was using... for the second album he was using a cool kramer into some preamp on tour. Great show...

[@johnmarshall3903]

Totally agree. I regard the Hungry record as some of the best guitar tones ever recorded.

Ok I’ve NEVER seen anyone play rhythm with a slide the way he just did lol! I wasn’t expecting that 🤣

@@MarcDiglioBy the way, I think your solo from “When I Find Love” is one of the best solos from that era. Would love to see you break that one down. 🤘

This is one of my favorite hard rock ribs on guitar

[@NitroModelsAndComics]

I played it better than I thought all those years. Thanks brother. I used the video and some lame ass tabs because the band had to have this 2 weeks after it was out. I struggled a bit with the solo since I don't tap at all. I managed to muddle through it and frankly no one noticed in those days. Perhaps a few guitarists crunched their noses. But as long as girls were swinging and butt was moving it was all good Great playing bro, from one to another.

[@ian2lorimer]

Absolutely killer. Still got the chops bro

[@johnmarshall3903]

Indeed! So glad to see that too.

[@larslevinberget9558]

BonJour Marc! I remember you were endorsing Peavey at that time, the Vandenberg signature, VTM120 amps and 412ms & 412m cabinets just like Adrian, and that's more or less what I've been playing for all these years as well. :) Just a couple of pedals and THE sound is there! Thanks for clearing up that part with the bottleneck! I used the edge of my pick or nails on my right hand like a kitten on the neck to achieve some of that same effect! ;D Salutations de Norvège

[@Muddytrickle]

Good to see you. Hope all is well in ABQ.

Some of my favorite guitar tones and riffs on that album..what were the amps used during that time? HH boogie and face down in the gutter all time favorites, rocco pezzin got really close to the tones with an axe fx.. great stuff!

Been a fan since this song came out... what is your rig your playing out of, effects? Was the 2 albums recorded with single or humbuckers... hard to tell at times. Glad to see ya back. Nice 59 too. You can hear alot of Bluesy/SRV in your compositions.

[@CR250RidR]

I love this song, also the feels good riff is bitchin.

[@utubenoobie01]

🥰

[@bobowrathsovine.]

The using of a glass slide as a percussive way to get the chords to sound out is something I don't think has been done in any actual song. I had the video on VHS for decades and always knew there was no way he was just tapping with his fingers the way it appears in the music video from 1989.
