Pretty sophisticated talent for such a young man. I will be a life long fan.

[@chucktrout6899]

Live is amazing

[@lucasdeaver9192]

This guy is so gracious and humble. Marcus you are awesome! Can't wait to see you in NY again.

[@jonesygw]

We are looking at a legend in the making !

[@soultylive]

[@jppontat2995]

This young man is very serious about music. You are one of the King a real blues man... humble. Extremely intelligent interview....

[@Jay91Byrd]

For those that have yet to see Marcus King Band live I HIGHLY recommend it. Him and the MKB will melt your brain every single time.

[@guitarsword1]

This kid kills me. Just love him and his awesome band.

[@mg43472]

He is my favorite now.. just a well deserving player.. going to see him in October!.. opening for Chris Stapleton.. win win!

[@jeffreysiegel9125]

Excellent Interview!!! MK has got a lot of style, as well as humility! Thank you for posting this😀

[@ronwood355]

Love that guitar and sound of the strings

[@michaelshahabi]

The most amazing musician. An undisputed genius. Period .

[@geraldarchambault2565]

The blues are back and alive! Great stuff.

[@sumoblues]

Marcus is a fine young man. So grounded and very gifted. Not to mention generous and quite patient.

[@stevewebertampainvestments2097]

I was shocked he knew who Danny Gatton was as a kid. Danny was amazing yet mostly a regional act in the DC/MD/VA area. Marcus is really gonna influence a lot of young kids to sing and play.

[@strongstrummin4078]

Amazing interview. Thank you very much.

[@shadwellsong]

What a lovely person. a fine player as well.

[@bluesgirl65]

Love the young man you've become! And digging your tunes!

[@abasin08]

Marcus is a genuine person, highly influential in his generation, good work Marcus!

[@Esbenmad]

Marcus is incredible! And not just for his age.

[@mtnman6046]

truth

[@francoiscapelle372]

yes yes yes for sure

[@Desert9999]

Best young guitaris, period! Im playing since 25 years fyki.....

[@emochinchilla]

Hells yeah! Seems the blues are in good hands. Prosperous Journey my friend.

[@estellepatella2520]

A young master. Brilliant.

[@natecorning]

the way he incorporates jazz into electric blues is stunning and incredibly unique

[@AnalogOpher]

njdkidd1231 Yup. There hasn't been a blues innovator like him since SRV.

[@thert.hon.thelordnicholson7261]

@@AnalogOpher Stevie Ray Yawn was a boring bastard, he didn't innovate

[@moodyvol89]

Thomas Cat yet no one has been able to replicate what he did lol, literally every guitarist working now days was influenced in some way by SRV gtfoh 😂

[@thert.hon.thelordnicholson7261]

@@moodyvol89 only boring old farts worship SRV, you are Exhibit A. He is the least innovative blues player ever 🤣 If you only listen to one artist you're not in a position to offer a valid opinion on music. Also, he is forgotten, apart from the aforementioned old farts and wannabes still talking about him. He was a raging cokehead who copped all of Albert King's style, with a hint of Hendrix thrown in - hardly innovating, apart from his skin colour 👋

[@thert.hon.thelordnicholson7261]

@@moodyvol89 also, i realise you probably live in some nowhere place like Bumfuck, Idaho, and it's still the year 1990 over there, so of course all you listen to is music from the 80s 😎

[@securethebag1613]

he speaks the language of guitar....clearly

[@colincampbell5206]

A future master at work..

[@lorilitow5432]

4th King for sure!... proudly American made

[@falchiherve2024]

Omg marcus you are fantastic

[@maxdeantv6351]

Marcus King is the shit. imo he is the best act out rn, i hope he brings sum of his bluesy guitar to the radio. this musician plays real music & thats not too common rn. peace and love.

[@laylahofficial]

14:30 holy molly that was amazing!

[@ronwood355]

Must have worked very hard to reach this standard plus natural talent and a king is born What a interesting young Mann

[@ferpiopiogm]

your riffs, The Album's Groove is claiming for an acoustic show! Just you and the guitar... Waiting so badly!

[@bricks4150]

i want that so bad id drive thousands of miles..

[@blues6782]

absolut fantastic

[@pierrick284]

lovely guy! soulful!

[@deanbritton7635]

Long live the King

[@mindfulskills]

Just discovered this amazing talent yesterday after I read a feature on him in the NY Times. I looked him up and saw that he's playing at the Beacon theater in a couple of weeks, and there are still a few good seats still available down front. The website had a caveat: prices can fluctuate with demand. So I clicked on one of the down-front seats. $635 a pop. I'm really happy for Marcus, but sad to see those seats so far out of my reach!

[@tubesockets120v]

I'm seeing his for $35!

[@fendercustom6990]

Really talented and sweet person he is. The way he explains the whole story is really interesting and fun to hear. Great guy 👍👍

[@calanchr]

this guy is the REAL DEAL.....

[@johnpliskin8759]

got to see Marcus and his dad play together at Wanee this year... fucking incredible, he is the true successor to Warren Haynes

[@henksr.652]

Crazy!!!

[@nepheshr290]

Is there anyone as talented as him that just sits for an interview for a half hour talking intelligently about guitar...

[@friedricengravy6646]

When u think every chord has been used.....then u hear Marcus-lol Someone who actually learned the ENTIRE chord book-lol 🤘🏻killer player & vocalist

[@Troiler]

Marcus King!

[@georgemessenger2225]

very nice person....

[@francoiscapelle372]

je découvre depuis quelques semaines , je suis halluciné et les places de concert sont prise a Annecy

[@craighamilton1299]

Amazing - saw him in Toronto in 2018 and the band was tight. Check out that first fret placement on his acoustic...

[@zorzum]

A manouche French guitar. You Know Django Reinhardt ;)

[@thert.hon.thelordnicholson7261]

that's a 'zero' fret chum

[@darrellbrock5687]

Your behind times we're not worthy. Jazz has them by the balls listening.

[@jeremypleso676]

He uses that pinky quite a lot in his playing. The sign of a great guitarist.

[@thenewtowncryer]

So reaL!!!

[@mikewhelan9561]

11:57 "tease the Donna Lee" reference to Charlie Parker.

[@ronwood355]

Boy can play boy can sing

[@Only1Feckitt]

I dig

[@travelingman9763]

He studied Jazz....Jazz musicians are the most flexible musicians! They are soaked in Blues and Swing! Chick Corea, Benson and many others prove it!

[@nethomas1968]

Did he say that he puts the Tube Screamer in the Amp's effects loop?

[@buckbellmer9922]

There is some Tommy Bolin sounds in there?

[@guitarsword1]

I picked this trick up from Scofield . Lol

[@jclev99]

Interviewer is clueless. Marcus, as always, being genuinely humble and patient.

[@kellymcgrath5541]

i think the 4th king might be a white guy.... im ok with that

[@emiliovelezmusic]

Laura Guirguis Stevie is legend, certainly, and among the icons, but he wasn't a King in name. That's the point I think

[@leonardduke6791]

5th king....lets not forget ed king

[@adam_-adam]

All the blacks will get mad if the next king is a white one.

[@thert.hon.thelordnicholson7261]

@@adam_-adam you are a dumb fuck.

[@thert.hon.thelordnicholson7261]

@Laura Mounier Oh you mean the dead cokehead who copied everything Albert King did? Yeah I remember him, loved his work with David Bowie.

[@mikewhelan9561]

11:57 doesn't make sense to me. He says he plays the major penatonic of the flat 3. He plays a Cm chord [kind of ,not full barre chord] the flat 3 of Cm is Eflat. He says he solos over the Cm with the E flat Major penatonic , to get out side. But Eflat maj pen is just Cminor pen. Can anyone sort me out?

[@kylezinsky1542]

To me I think it’s just a different way of looking at it.. the notes are the same but the chord tones are different.. so your target notes change if you’re looking at it as the relative major.. it can make a pretty standard pentatonic lick sound a hell of a lot more jazzy or a “little outside”

[@mikewhelan9561]

Thanks l will sit with my guitar and think about what you say.

[@Tuck7326]

Using a minor pentatonic over its relative major has a different consonance (more bluesy) than playing the major pentatonic over it's own root chord and progression. Minor always sounds sad and the blues is sad music. Makes perfect sence to me.

[@mikewhelan9561]

6:48 Jealous Man starts

[@jujanangelo]

Instant classic from its release onwards.

[@ProfessorJones7]

What is the tune that he speaks about starting 9:20 ?

[@gromgirl1259]

I think it's Thespian Espionage

[@photonrayswaves]

Marcus forgot more about guitar than most will ever know.

[@jeff0566jsm]

Lol the guy keeps say more slowly please...he wants to steal his licks! Lol!

[@MaxKing222]

One more time more slowly 🙄 C'mon man!! You see those eyes...5:42

[@joey0359]

10:46

[@jonnybeck6723]

So who's his dad then? cheers

[@pauljordan4452]

Look up Marvin King.

[@owenmacintosh2059]

To bad he had to deal with a lousy interviewer

[@pauljordan4452]

Reinhardt used that guitar.

[@coRnThEdOg1]

A little angrier ya dig

[@paco1972]

sings and plays better than john mayer

[@martinsinigriega6999]

?????????????????????? Enjoy the music

[@joshallen9814]

completely different... comparing apples and oranges

[@mtnman6046]

heard that, Mayer should just play guitar with mouth closed at all times. Marcus is well ahead of mayer, Marcus is freak at that age, truthful grate!

[@natecorning]

as a huuuge mayer fan who was influenced by his blues stuff, i would have to agree with you there. In my opinion marcus is the best of the living.

[@mtnman6046]

You are Truth, and I do Love the Grateful Dead, I think King is the next King, finger look? Please
