[@melodicsteve]

Nice!

[@nitinmariumcusman100]

How could I get this guitar tone.. is there any advice?

[@Giangarofalo]

@@nitinmariumcusman100 yes there is. If you have a PodGo or Helix or Kemper you can get a simple pack that contain his patches, then you can build around that tone.

[@leeDs718]

can't wrap my head around how underrated Marco is

[@renevanderbruggen731]

absolutely agree ! Marco deserves tons of spotlight -

[@GuitaristKK]

So true.

[@MarianBuraga]

He's not underrated. He played for Labrie and that's uber badass.

[@leeDs718]

@@MarianBuraga i'm aware who he plays with but is underrated regardless of that fact. not many people know him although he's highly active in the scene.

[@agriosbr]

He's not alone tho. Loads of excellent musicians fly below the radar. But thanks to the internet we can at least know they exist.

[@GioFly]

Damn, why isn't this wonderful track not on Spotify??

[@1more148]

A lot of guitarist wanna Shred and forget that people want to feel a melodic more than something that fast. It’s okay that technic is make look professional .Marco can put technic with feel . For me He is on another level.

[@DeathBringer769]

Melodic shred is a thing. Marco is a master at it ;)

[@RoadWarrior2006]

Marco is more melodic and can shred better than ppl who think they can shred.

[@chriscorbin1055]

Yeah, I feel some emotion & feeling in his playing, very nice.

[@jortepap]

Best phrasing i've heard. So much soul. He's incredible.

[@sangzualavangchhia5764]

my idol since he played "andromeda".. So inspiring man

[@gaipou6982]

Marco’s choice of notes always blew me away!

[@71GA]

And that phrasing... Godsent!

[@jortepap]

Yes his melodies and phrasing are perfection🙏

[@catcancrunch7260]

This Italian play's like he has something to say and not to prove!!! The real deal, wonderful guitarist! Thanks for your upload 👍🙏🐱

Well said👍he really tells a story. So much soul.

[@futuristicmusic1216]

The best rock guitar solo I've ever heard. Marco's tone, feels, melody, passion, everything is perfect.

[@bucketheadothers2384]

Not one missed string, dodgy bend or wrong note. Just brilliant. Superb playing 👌

[@SKULLYARD1971]

I always notice how GENTLE the guys are that play in this style. "Silent Shredders"? Every note counts tho. They play with a mastery of authority but with ZERO violence.

[@SamuelMantode]

This is another level of greatness...thank you Marco for existing 🙏🏻❤

[@imliyangerkeitzar7810]

For me Marco he is a serious expression guitar player outstanding melodic musician,beneath the surface is one of the best ever composition with lots of feelings I cant express,his philosophy of tone wow awesome,,,,

[@scottyecora]

I bought the Masterclass and it's exactly what I needed : Marco provides a lot of ideas to improve technically and lyrically my playing, which was stuck on tired pentatonic based licks.

[@FoiMal123]

Marco is probably the most underrated and limitlessly talented player.

[@jcfombon]

That Italian melody I heard as a teen in Mexico with al those international stars from Italy Marco is the greatest thank you for all the melodies an music 🙏🙏🙏🖤🖤🖤😍😍

[@eduardor3712]

The best 2min in the entire internet right here

[@oueouetous]

Wow, that is pure feeling!!!

[@Kris-mj3xr]

Many years ago I heard the solo in "Drained" on James Labrie's solo record and was blown away. Been a massive Marco fan ever since. Truly a Tier 1 guitar player.

[@jakeboynz]

Almost brought tears to my eyes.... His playing touches the soul & heart like no other player.... God bless you Marco

[@felipesazo9970]

It's a pleasure to my ears, Marco is the number 1 guitar influencer

[@johnfraser2201]

this guitarist got me to pick up my axe once more after 7 years of not playing he light the fire once more i now play 4 hours a day thank you marco.

[@LiamNyeDrummer]

One of the BEST soloers ever! So underrated!

[@muriellealamelama1310]

Why underrated ?? Everybody knows he’s a killer guitar player and an amazing songwriter.

[@felipeaam]

edit: for anyone wondering, it's guitar > pedal > mezzabarba trinity, according to the man himself in his Instagram. man, each tune/tone of you, every single one, is a different travel. even if we spot some familiar phrases, constantly we are gliding on each vibe that your references/riffs/melodic sets bring to us. since I knew you, my way of seeing music has changed forever. Mr. Sfogli, thank you for making all of us - specially me - happier human beings and musicians with your music.

[@ThiagoMonteiroMonster]

Marco is Genius... this song all perfect... perfect playing, phrases, cadence, feeling, the way he plays is... so amazing...

[@GameBadgers355]

His string manipulation brings every melody he writes to life.

[@AlexAlexanderLIVE]

Marco has hands down one of the best feel and tone i ever heard 🔥

[@marcossousasousa1049]

Oh my God! This guy is incredible! Big Marco!!

[@mo3225-c8r]

The tone, the phrasing, the technique, the note choice... simply Marco! Always unique!

Perfect again Marco. My absolute favorite guitarist, buying this master class asap! Love you man, hope I can see you play someday!

[@addyeden2003]

Marco has got everything a musician wants! Just so inspiring to watch and listen to❤❤❤

[@j-ferrell144]

My Mount Rushmore - Guthrie govan - Marco sfgoli - Andy Timmons those 3 guys I listen and have been inspired by more so then anyone else on guitar and I’ve listened to them all. But as far as guys who play that have the ability to cut your soul and also heal it with their playing… it’s these 3 guys 100 percent for me

[@user-sz7fx9tj5e]

So beautiful,every note is beating my heart.

[@lkeith88]

God that tone is incredible!!!

[@matthewnelson9868]

I know this is technically promotional material but it's also one of the most beautiful pieces of guitar music ever written.

[@dillonwilliams1913]

I think I see you why you chose the guitar over drums, you can play over any beat and backing track and make it sound like your life story in one song. Love it man👍🏼

[@vishalquake3]

The time/feel is so fresh ! 😯 Marco never fails to impress !! Masterful !✨❤️😇

[@Nedwin]

This one really put a smile on my face. Feel so good with this tune. Thanks Marco and JTC for such an amazing work with this. ❤️❤️❤️

Hey! This guy should be in the list of the greatest!

[@lostvolt]

Maroco Sfogli know how to mesmerize his audience with his music. Cant get enough of this. What kind of tone is that, its so clear and chimey at top ends yet has that soothing mids and distortion. Even in neck pick up it sounds so up front.

[@nicklucchesi3733]

Meraviglioso! Da brividi ❤ Un gusto melodico unico!!!Grande Marco come sempre

[@filipkocurek710]

1:31 this part is masterpiece.

[@johnmargaras]

How is this "101" exactly? This is PhD level of pure awesomeness! Keep it coming.

[@widexawake_]

I'd say the theory behind why what he plays works contextually is the most difficult barrier of entry for "newer" players to wrap their melons around. Most of what is being played can be replicated through practice so that's where these 101's come into play.

[@johnmargaras]

@@widexawake_ I agree with your approach on "why what Marco plays works" ..and is a good starting point, but I want to also emphasize the fact that his phrasing is impeccable for this kind of Melodic, fast and artistically demanding style of Music. Which makes things even more interesting and fun for all of us fellow guitarists i guess!

[@braingain8457]

I don't understand how every single song of Marco is a MASTEPIECE

[@jortepap]

If he didn't play it with SO much soul and feel.. it would be cheesy 😂 But man this is good

[@gabrieleazzarello9882]

Marco always 😊 I would love to know whether, apart from the theme, all the rest is improvised...I would be very curious to know

[@GuitarSoundLab]

Grandissimo Marco!!! Excellent job as always 👏👏👏

[@abirhossain7980]

Loved it.

[@nightking1607]

Love melody.

[@UNGETABLE7]

What a beast !! 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼

[@sal.balzano]

Outstanding music over the technique, thanks Marco 👍

[@80sday36]

what an amazing phrase Mr. Marco.

[@huguesgarrigues1277]

tasty - wonderfull playing

[@Liyingbemo]

Beautiful, How does he get that tone, not overly distorted but sounds really really tight.

[@jared_s2]

I asked him about 10 years ago about his recording tone and he was using Mesa boogie then. he basically used the head a cab and a shure 57. I think he said maybe a preamp. i bet he is still just relying on his amp head and cab. just a guess though. his playing is so phenomenal he can make a garbage tone sound good.

[@Liyingbemo]

@@jared_s2 thanks,

[@MateoBakija]

@@jared_s2 No bro, he's playing MezzaBarba amps now for the most of the time as far as I know.

[@useless7211]

He used to play the Multiamp also kzbin.info/www/bejne/eae7YYdti86ho7M

[@rizwandanny]

It’s actually pretty simple. It’s classic combination of stratocaster with neck pu + little overdrive just from amp.
