From the opening riff of this prog rock ballad, Marco Sfogli gives you a lesson in the world of guitar! 'Speed Limit' is taken from his album 'Homeland' and features all the melody, technical ability and catchy hooks you'd imagine from one the greatest guitar players around.
Every solo and lick on 'Speed Limit' is a small example of just how good Marco Sfogli is. Whether it's prog metal, prog rock or a modern take on some classic 80's metal, you know that Marco always delivers.
A huge thanks to our friends at Elixir Strings for helping us put this together!

Using those strings will not make you sound like Marco.

[@rolandlemus203]

@@tonypowell250 agreed. but Ernie Ball Cobalts are a great start lol! :)

[@rolandlemus203]

Ernie Ball Cobalts 9-42 are very cool and have a nice tone. Awesome playing by Marco of course! Love the vid thanks for posting it!

@@rolandlemus203 I will give them a try...I need all the help I can get 😁

[@batmandeltaforce]

They sound expensive:)

[@mazbrenkgaming]

Dude, your tone sounds a lot like 1991's petrucci. You can hear from album images and words, sounds alike from the song take the time.

[@Controversy1100]

Need more alternate picking to create petrucci's sound.

[@mazbrenkgaming]

@@Controversy1100 to be honest in style of playing, he has his of style. Petrucci is definitely king of alternate picking. But marco delivers all of his technique combination well which makes him unique

[@SSVplus]

@@mazbrenkgaming Petrucci the king of alternate picking?

[@johnkk7863]

SSVplus Guthrie Govan is better than petrucci in every department anyway, in fact he’s comfortably the most accomplished guitarist in the world right now .

[@flyingblade1]

@@johnkk7863 That may be true but I find most of his playing quite boring compared to Petrucci's work. I've liked a few songs of him but that's it

[@NONE2NONE]

Sounds like the intro video of some 90s tv show with teens

[@platriani]

That end solo is a masterpiece. Just been learning it - very difficult - and so precise. Had to watch this video at half speed to really appreciate the triplets, 16th notes, and laser precision. Bravo

[@pedroeliaslopesoliveira4780]

A primeira coisa que pensei

[@lemystere5345]

Agreed.

[@claudetoybox]

Great playing. Camera work is great because at 2.10, it shows that he uses his fingers to pick the strings as well as the plectrum, which is something I didn't know about Marco. Great stuff!

[@robertlchhangte3368]

anybody said dreamtheater music,i said it's your music..music is not just one..

Sounds a bit like Jack Thammarat at times

[@i-DH]

Woah! 2:39 until 3.40 sounds like DT’s Petrucci from the Falling Into Infinite. Missed those albums. Awesome Marco!

Años sin tocar y tras ver esto apetecerme volver a tocar...sublime Marco!!!

Want to see Master Michael Romeo 😔👐🖐️

[@marcoss6212]

Yep, for a good reason, his gig includes Mesa Boogie as well as Petrucci, this guys is the only guitar player I see replacing Petrucci on Dream Theater.

[@alessandrocorneo]

The greatest Petrucci's era (images and words and Awake) influence!!!!

[@Catari777]

Very good. Keep on playing. Keep on composing. I like your positive vibe. Not so dark as Andy James. You have a positive spirit. The producing of the video should be more focused on. Playing fantastic, video production should be given more professional VIBE. 10/10 MUSIC. 6/10 Video production.

[@alexilaiho6441]

How can I learn how to select a pick-up like Marco ? His pick-up changes and sense of tone is just too good!

[@terribleligadelmal4541]

Maybe this will help you: if it is about selecting the pick up while playing, then the standard is to use the first frets to the 12th fret with the bridge.pick up, and the rest with the neck pickup. It is not set in stone, for example you may want the mellow characteristic of the neck pick on a 3 note per string scale around the 7th to 10th frets , in the end it depends on your judgement. if it is about selecting a new pick up to install, well... better check reviews or if you can, try them. Best of luck to you !

[@alexilaiho6441]

@@terribleligadelmal4541 I find it difficult while playing , whether to use neck or bridge.This "judgement" you are talking about, that is what I want to learn

[@melodica5407]

The easiest way is to leave it on middle position most of the time 😎

[@spider7venstring]

@@alexilaiho6441 For tapping and slower sustained notes sounds good on neck pickup. While the bridge pickup is great for palm muted riffs and works just fine for all of the above mentioned. Fast tremolo picking sounds more thicker and defined on neck but more crunchier and attacking on the bridge. In the end, its all about how you want to present your sound in your song.

As usual Marco demonstrates his mastery of melody unlike so many of his contemporaries. A song is nothing without it despite being crammed with displays of virtuosity and sonic fireworks. Only melody with hold attention like a well told story. Long words make for a boring dinner guest.

[@nomnom4188]

I love the sound of Elixir strings, sound is clear and defined and never had to restring them.... just that they are very STIFF and .09 feels like .10 ... I wish Santa heard my prayer that one of these days Elixirs make their strings less like electric cables.

Alô, @eduardanuyofficial ! Olha o riff do início. Isso me lembra alguma coisa... 😄

[@rafakrasicki914]

The intro reminds me of the wonderful album,that is "awake" and lifting shadows off a dream solo that JP completely blew my mind away. Marco, on the other hand, has stayed extremely melodic throughout his career, much more than JP. Both outstanding players, one inspired by the other.
