Watch Marco lay down another classic: bit.ly/Speed-Limit

[@StelAndre]

Best guitarist of all times! Seriously.. Touch..Tone..Feel..Emotion..Timing..Vibratos & Bends, Slides.. Phrasing.. all skill capped! Cant get it better. Bravo Marco and keep up inspiring people and guitarist from around the globe.

[@WillColaneri]

Stel Andre after Petrucci

[@tusharmahli7196]

Stel Andre absolutely true brother. For me Marco Sfogli is the best and number 1 guitarist. Rest are just mortals for me. Marco is a genius.

[@jerzykowalski5498]

@@tusharmahli7196 Yes!

[@janbuyck1]

Sorry Guys, but nothing tops Guthrie …

[@khamkaiarolim9975]

@@janbuyck1 Nobody asked... Im a Guthrie fan but people like u disgust the guitar community... Don't bab too much mate!!

[@jared_s2]

How does a composition like this even come to be? It is so fantastic.

[@Artybruh]

ur so fantastic

[@jared_s2]

rtm9 no. you : )

[@Rapterr15]

It really is a shame that Marco is not more widely known, even among the guitar community. His playing really is something special.

[@illuminoid22]

Everything this man plays is tasty! This tune never gets old..

[@nunyabusiness7927]

This might be the best thing I've ever heard. The transition from the jazzy chords to the melodic solos with the killer tone is just amazing.

[@devax1986]

If this song doesn't make you happy, longing for a better life, you have no soul.

[@uli87]

Having listened to many AT and JP stuff, I can't say that marco isn't influenced by them, BUT that's how things work, be it music science,art etc. Marco definitely has his own voice (his phrasing is orgasmic) and IMO it's more unique than anyone in the same genre. To me this song is an absolute master piece... I keep getting chills down my spine :)

[@giuseppematera]

Marco is the master of the emotions as few guitarist...It's a honor for me that I'm italian having a great virtuoso in my country and expecially in my region

[@DDickinson458]

I think the Italians have LONG been masters of music, and I say this as a German-American with no Italian ancestry. Think about it... Vai, Satriani, Petrucci, Al DiMeola, all Italian-Americans. Then you've got Frank Gambale, an Italian-Australian.

[@barzer678]

guitarist that "gives place" to the other instruments though he is a solo guitarist amazing! Marco Sfogli i salute you!

[@Bitbca-]

I really wonder what inspired Marco to write this song, man this song is so beautiful, elegant. Marco you made me cry again with your soulful playing.

90s' Dream Theater inspired stuff's always pleasant to hear :)

[@davidfaustino4476]

That's literally all Marco does.

[@CapOlimar]

@@davidfaustino4476 and I'm completely okay with that.

[@RoadWarrior2006]

He's beyond that.

[@illuminoid22]

Marco surpassed John..both are gods \m/

[@j-ferrell144]

Marco is leaps and bounds beyond sounding like someone else. The guy is on an ULTRA HIGH level! I’ve played guitar for 30 years, Marco is 1 of 1 brother trust me.

[@cahyowibisono5727]

A real master...a real god of guitar...

[@ryudo113]

I have followed you for many years now. And I can say that you have your own sound. I'm never in a fraction of doubt when I hear you play. Not just your unique tone, but also your compositions, your "feel" is embodied in all of your songs. You are my favorite guitarist, Marco.

[@platriani]

I can happily listen to each of Marcos albums on repeat for a month, and nothing else. Stuff these fusion guys, bored of it now....Marco writes catchy tunes that take you on a musical journey.

[@Hutchieisdutchie]

I love Marco's playing, hands down one great guitarist. The sax adds a lot of depth to this song, he plays with a Dave Matthews band vibe with the sax

[@brimstone81]

Spellbound, mesmerized, awestruck, fascinated, elated, emancipated.........

[@j-ferrell144]

I just came back to this to listen again, 10 years later. And still today it’s a masterpiece the same way it will live in 10 years from now ! And I bet I’ll still be coming back here leaving comments every 10 years. This guy is a musical perfection. His style, flow, soulful Melodie’s. Jesus he has everything ! I love Guthrie, and I love Johnny hiland, and Brent Mason. But then I love Andy James and guys like yannis P and mike Wagner. But then I absolutely love Timmons ! And to me Timmons and Marco are more in the same wave for me. Like both of those guys put me in this Mellow mood that’s very calm and pleasant and happy ! Their vibes are so pure and honest musically. But of all the guys I’ve mentioned I would have to say Marco prolly writes the best Melodie’s of anyone ‘ I mean they are Melodie’s to die for, it’s like what u would imagine an angel playing as you drift into the heavenly world. Hope u are doing well Marco and still making music !

[@AJLeadbetter]

Marco's an absolute beast!! Love everything about him! Killer note choice. Tone for days... Complete package and at the very top of the guitar playing heap.

[@pracco]

My fav guitar player at the moment. Mitico.

[@DreaminginWaves]

Man, I love this guy's melodies. Always so memorable.

[@gtrlover7]

He is the best of this genre... One of my absolute favorites for multiple reasons.! Just DOMINATES the fretboard with such feel and control.

[@gkennedy]

97 people either have no taste, or are jealous of his incredible talent. Who would thumbs down this?

[@slickguitar01]

Marco ... one of the all time best.

[@professorellisaki]

I don't know what kinda' FOREST you are playin' but I am there , Bro. I am there ! Man , I almost feel like Tarzan swinging thru the trees when listening to you .Free thru the trees I be while listenin' to Mr. Sfolgi (**) That is some Fantasticular Forest Fretburning - LOVE IT ! & that Sax add is too SICk - I just crashed into one of them trees ! PLLLLEEEEZEEE ! (**) keep playin' while I recover .

[@VirtuosicFantasies]

Words Can't Describe! Marco Sfogli must have some inspiration beyond this Earth :)

[@khamkaiarolim9975]

This song is my favourite track from the album.... I can't express how many times I've cried in joy, Marco is the best musician I've ever came across...!!!

[@thebeardedblonde]

I wouldn't change a thing. This song got me through some tough times and gave me something to distract myself learning to play. Still only perfected 4 minutes into it just because there's so much emotion in every note. If only I knew how to write such a masterpiece.

[@brokenhero6828]

4 minutes is amazing though. Glad to see you’re doing well bro

[@nicolascorres4]

When a musician gives you the chivers, something is right. Satch and Marco for me. There's no such a thing as best guitarist. These players are just immense artists.

[@wilkinsos]

Im so inspired, this is pretty much how i would play if i could.

[@xXxglassgowdreamxXx]

We need a new full length album from him! Beautiful playing and very diverse. Love his phrasing

[@Eccentrics]

Luis Delgado He has two full length albums. This track is actually from his second solo album called Remarcoble and you can buy it on Jamtrackcentral.

[@ryudo113]

a new album.

[@iamani]

the dynamics of this song blows me away. soft jazz intro mixed with heavy riffing, great phrasing all combined into one. only marco sfogli.

[@danlavi5]

Master Sfogli ,,,,,, wow .fenomenal.

[@andreaiachini7517]

Per chi come me non l'aveva mai fatto prima : ascoltate questo pezzo con le cuffie!!! O con un buon impianto... Si può apprezzare pienamente il lavoro MAGISTRALE sui suoni fatto da Marco Sfogli.

[@salvatoremiceli2329]

Complimenti davvero.. questa chitarra racconta sentimenti profondi... note ricercate di sensibilità e di passione che dominano prepotentemente la scena.. una potenza di comunicazione difficilmente individuabile in altri artisti.. puro spettacolo.. un genio musicale..

[@pgiovanni1701]

Those bends starting at 2:39... My god! Heavenly!

[@rokgod707]

it's so beautiful when an instrumental can bring out emotions in you, not many people can do that. Fantastic piece.

[@dreamtheater7347]

Marco !!! BEST SONG EVER...!!!

[@LathHM]

song is about to finish.. and picture fading out slowly like music do.. i caught myself staring mesmerised the blackened screen, tryn to see in darkness while i still can hear beautiful sound.. that guy must be trapped a muse angel somewhere and i hope he never lose it.. open my eyes man, i need more of ur music...

[@josimarmachado6012]

Marco Sfogli and Gustavo Guerra both are amazing, for me they are the best guitar players in the world

[@gregleroy6123]

man I love this song been playing for years myself this is from the SOUL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@umustdv81]

As others have stated... Marco definitely has a defined sound and this song is a master piece. He's on my short list of amazing guitarist.

[@dylanmoorman231]

your playing has that emotion that gives inspiration. Love to listen to this Marco!

[@pineymusiccol]

i just buy the new album a days ago,,,and is one of the most powerful and creative solo guitar album i´d heard for long time...marco for nowdays is the guitar player that really put high class on new order on guitar world!!!!

[@gianfrancociminoiltubocato7523]

Se chiudo gli occhi sento tante influenze di Petrucci e Andy Timmons nel tuo (meraviglioso) stile musicale.. sei da ascoltare per ore e ore senza mai stancarsi.. standing ovation per Marco!!!

[@lamantedeipiedinifemminili2846]

Li supera in tutto

[@CapOlimar]

Dude's technique and musical vocabulary is simply phenomenal.

[@mamanesky]

his entire new album is beast. my favorite player as of right now.very tasteful and inspiring,makes me wanna work on my own material every time i hear him.His phrasing is unlike anything i've ever heard,its so smooth and melodic and controlled but not stiff or sterile. His note placement is incredible.

[@ChrisMuzz]

That's the best guitar solo I've heard in such a long time!

[@AjwogTHUM]

The arrangement is just beautiful

[@nunofrg]

this guy is a monster ffs! amazing!!!!

[@ibanson]

One of my favorite guitar player, so far ! Really expressive & finest melodic guitar playing.

[@NelsonMa1285]

the bass is also amazing in this song and of course the lead is awesome

1:38 to 1:46 Windows to the soul Steve Vai

[@alinoe3604]

and 3:00 ARCH ENEMY - Nemesis solo

[@ArtGuitarLTX]

Not sure if I commented on this years ago but this just reminded me of John Petrucci and the REASON why I bought this guitar years ago… the same purple Birds Eye maple Ibanez premium… which you can see on my videos years back… love this song and just inspired me again… 👍👍🍻🍻🍻

[@Danthehorse]

What a fantastic track.

[@monmohan422]

adding the piece of vocal music is awesome

[@francolizana9676]

amazing! i have no words for this !! amazing solo on 4:15 damn very petrucci style :D

[@Slashgordangames]

Love that tone!

[@rickfeith6372]

I thought the exact same thing...sounded a lot like Petrucci. So, I check out his gear...Dimarzio Air Norton & D Sonic, Axe Fx and Mesa amps. No wonder his tone sounds like JP...almost sounds like a 2c+. Killer phrasing and tone

[@Slashgordangames]

I am trying to get that kind of tone on my Boss GT-10. I play a Schecter Damien Elite fr with emg 81/85 on it. Its not exactly the same but its close i guess. Will share it someday. :)

[@alexkazhdan]

Rick Feith The pickups in this particular guitar are PAF 36th Anniversary (neck), True Velvet (middle) and Norton (bridge).

[@Slashgordangames]

E un grande ! lo ascolto sempre il suo album, e abbiamo lo stesso genere di musicalita, melodie pazzesche da venire i brividi

One of my favorite modern players, his phrasing and note choice are superb. I somehow missed the news of the reMarcoble album a while ago, but I got it yesterday and I love it!

[@nicklassperling]

So much passion and soul! It's f*****g beautifull!

[@slammerton]

i have honestly never seen guitar playing in this way. i'm impressed!

[@stefanzielinski3582]

That sax solo is amazing

[@MarcoSfogli80]

it's so rewarding that after all these years and stylistic changes, even on a song that has nothing in common with Dream Theater and JP I still get compared to John. This really led me to think that people understand just a few to nothing about music, playing and composition. And I'm a big fan of both DT and JP but honestly, this song and the rest of the album has nothing to do anymore with them.

[@WillColaneri]

Marco Sfogli I’m sorry, Marco, but there’s clear JP’s influences in your songwriting, tone, etc... particularly from his LTE’s, AGE OF IMPACT’s time... but that’s a really good thing. His unbeatable’s times... as it’s yours nos

[@Jafetlugo]

Bravo! Bravo!! Great composition! I've haven't heard a song like this in a long time! Awesome!

[@DarrylSyms]

This grows on me more every time I listen to it!
