Sound is right on and the camera work is excellent !! thank you!!

[@ronwhitehouse23]

What a fabulous version of a classic Peter Green masterpiece. He would have loved it.

[@davidstepro7486]

I keep coming back to watch this masterpiece. Wonderful!

[@davidstepro7486]

me too

[@bobbyhelton3919]

Out of his soul and thru his bones from his mind

[@HopeIanHope]

The first video of Mark that everyone is stopping and taking notice

[@ryanodonnell4184]

Awesome! Some real feel in this version. Most people cannot do Green tunes any justice whatsoever. This guy nails it and makes it his own.

[@blakelycreative3171]

I love all the harmonics between the notes. Sooo cool.

[@ghalston5641]

Great touch, great note selection. Mark is touching my soul…

[@MarieProvost77]

I've seen a fair amount of early Fleetwood Mac covers & this guy nails the feeling the best I think I've ever seen - channeling the intensity... I'd buy his record if the rest of his taste is as good as this. BIG props.

[@taantaarbyrataar1739]

its original sound, u dont have ears

[@ivanriverajr5012]

He nails some what of the tone peter green has played but the rest is all him. Not even close to the original. There's one dude who captures all the essence on KZbin to the t. And is the best at all peter green and Fleetwood mac covers. Forget his name but he looks like a jew with long hair glasses balding in the middle. The best by far.

[@chicolopez8722]

Right on,baby!

[@terada1444]

Mark, just amazing cover. Cannot believe Joe public are just walking past and not stopping at such quality playing.

[@johnkilvington7527]

Problem is lots of people don't carry cash and are embarrassed to listen without paying!

[@enki9006]

All brainwashed by media and worried!….also no sod carry’s cash anymore so they keep going. If only they would stop and take in those positive glorious notes and take stock of what’s important in life with all that’s happening in this country at the moment….jeez

[@Indigenous51]

Such a gifted guy . Just beautiful. I could watch and listen all day to him play.

[@thomasjones7099]

Best version I've heard since the original .well done

[@roylcraft]

A blind man would stop dead in his tracks!!!!!!! Amazing! ...I've enjoyed this song for decades.

[@pierreschaepe3017]

What a feeling! I love so much more than the original 👍👍👍

[@mikestrange6969]

Why has it taken 3 years for me to hear this musical treat? Fantastic job Mark.😊

[@paulherbert5548]

Nice rendition of this Classic Peter Green tune. As the guy in the end says "well done".

[@garyhull6689]

Great guitar and s great backing track too.

[@oldbrownshoe4886]

Fantastic! Breathtakingly beautiful. I am so glad I clicked. You play with such feeling and passion. Peter Green is the shiz.

[@renodavid]

The world would be a much better place if only a few more guitarists could play with as much feeling and soul as this artist. Brilliant.

[@raymondvaughan6262]

Correct 👍

[@avrilf4252]

Guys we can help support Mark to keep making vids by watching the ads all the way through. Dont skip as soon as you can, play it all the way through, that 's how youtubers get their refenue

[@davidstepro7486]

Love it!

[@tonitonlos]

WTF - Man I what a cool performance - you are the master - ssooooooo coooool interpretation of this song watching this vid - seeing the people passing by with no notice - I cannot understand

[@bahariselamat6199]

The soul of blues

[@RC60669]

I just dont see how you walk past this guy??🙈🙉😎 If i was going for a job interview?? I wouldn't get there!😊😮😅 The term gets thrown around a lot but Mark makes this incredibly well known song ..his own!😮😊👌 I think we should call him 'Maika Mark' ... he paints peoples hearts with colours from his own. ❤💙💚💛🧡💙 Many thanks 🙏🙏

[@maxheadroom7687]

Yeah I would have to stop and soak in his talent, all his renditions are amazing! Love the guy!👍🇦🇺🇬🇧🙏

[@thomaskittle9827]

I just came across Marks videos & man, the more I listen to his versions of all of these songs I am blown away of how he pours his soul out through his music. Excellent job & fantastic playing!

[@jimwalker4936]

wonderful peter would be proud bet hes looking down smiling

[@SunnyMichaelHere]

Very beautiful. Thank you.

[@rmatt375]

I was at the Upton Blues Festival at the weekend. I got to hear quite a few amazing blues guitarists on stage but while walking up the main street my ears were seduced by this guy playing music with fewer notes but SO much more feel than anything we had heard on stage. Brilliant! The festival organisers spotted him and managed to find him a slot on one of the festival stages on the Sunday afternoon. I am just very sorry I missed that session but hopefully Mark will be back next year with his newly refurbed Strat. Thank you Mark you were one of outstanding musicians of the weekend!

[@glh1956]

Sounds terrific like the extra bluesy touches with the original elements wonderful 🎶👍🎸🙌

[@kevingill648]

Fabulous cover, love it!

[@fauxbro]

The remarkable music of Peter Green still lives on the streets of the UK! .....THAT touches my heart.....long live the Green God!

[@nicklyde4361]

Good to see& hear your old Stra, t sounding so sweet Mark..❤

[@HELMERELA]

Wonderful played and what a sound he has in his strat. Love this guy.

[@captainsamson]

Aces Mate! You have a lot of feeling and emotion in your music. You truly enjoy what you do...and that is a greater wealth than money. Keep it up. I've been at it since the age of 12, and I'm 69 now.

[@josinijdam8700]

[@TheLucreziia]

[@silvanonovalis-kj2dx]

Just amazing how you make those notes float through the air! You are such a nuanced guitar player, a delight to listen to.

[@19antm]

Hallo Mark, best greetings from Germany. We are now into a second partial lockdown here and your music raises our hopes for a better future sometime.

All the very best from all of your fans here in Germany to you in my home town Cardiff … cheers.

[@jhawk3547]

This man is freaking AWESOME! And his facial expressions/emotions bring so much to what he plays.

I once asked Mark if he always played by ear and he said "no, sometimes I play around the corner"

[@erich6258]

[@hangedman821]
