Hi, Thanks for all the great comments. Would you know it, my Mg-300 started playing up not long after this , not complaining s it's given good service. I've replaced it with the NUX-Mg 400 .

[@speedamod]

You were fantastic in Upton Mark, dropped a few bob in your bag caught red house and I asked for more and you obliged with some slow blues. Keep believing and playing. When are you in South Wales next or gigging?

[@SizzWaz]

Gosh .... you humility is so human ... and your music is just the best of what this universe offers.

[@egalitarianvegan8806]

My wife and I love Mark's music. So good to see he is back busking. Looking forward to seeing many new videos of Mark's exceptional talent.

[@artfrob3754]

More to come!

Lovely to see Mark back!

[@secretdaisy6484]

Kewl setup and great sound. Hope you make tons of money 💰. 👍☮️🌞🎸🎵💖

[@user-wl7rb5ri5m]

I’ve been using the XL 120+ for decades. They fret like 9’s but pick like 10’s. And they last.👌🏻

[@earlbee3196]

Same here.🎸

[@Dad-Gad]

Love watching Mark play in Cardiff , I could watch him for hours 👍

[@mikewilliams7519]

I have exactly the same guitar Mark! Purchased new from Andertons around 1992. Hope you love your Blade as much as I love mine ❤

[@gergemall]

[@johnbrookes1566]

Great fan of Mark used to catch him in Tenby when on holiday👍

[@anthonycashero7605]

My new tooth in 2 months. Done. Love Mark's music. 🎉

[@AndrewAHayes]

Nice portable set-up! I had my eyes on a used Gary Levinson Blade California that was on a local music shops website but when I got to the shop to check it out there was a massive chunk of wood missing to of the back of the neck, I really wanted that guitar as well!

[@raymondvaughan6262]

Nice to see Mark back fine player nice to see him using a blade used them for years 👍

[@jrichards203]

Wow what a wonderful talent

[@mdshack6371]

A great rundown of a master player's set up. Down to the plectrum. Waiting for a tour schedule for the U.S.A. (Unstable State of America) bes to Mark Allen. Honored to share a name with you.

[@denniswilliams2385]

I had the exact same Zoom unit and you’re right, while the chorus’s and delays are absolutely gorgeous, the overdrive’s totally suck!

[@AAminy]

THANKS

[@thor9563]

-A lovely man with a terrific sound~

[@jackhammer9775]

This cats amazing!

[@denniswilliams2385]

What a great freaking guitarist!

[@BarryGrueter]

That was cool, thanks for sharing ✨🙏

[@ukoldgit]

Mark has so chosen the right guitar, Levinson are the propper job.

[@sergejserg8243]

Дякую за цікаве і дуже корисне відео!.

[@11calman]

ArtFrob, Nice to see you back on the streets mate. This is great when you can give someone so much exposure on the airwaves. You could most probably make me Famous again if I was 40yrs younger. Keep up the good work mate, regards Gib

[@artfrob3754]

Thanks Gib it's been a year since Mark came up to Cardiff and this session has brought a lot of new viewers for him

[@11calman]

@@artfrob3754 Come to NZ mate

[@getexis8685]

Well explained without a doubt and we all understand that anyone don't even need many devices to obtain sound from dry to spatial with high quality. Quite a good film explaining the material used to make a good buskin on the street for electric guitar. Well played Mark Allen and Bob Fordham's Artfrob, well played.

[@speedamod]

Saw Mark in Upton Blues a few days ago. To me best guitarist tone that weekend. I dropped a few bob in the bag. People around didn't appreciate how good he is. Brilliant 👏 would like to know where he can be found

[@AlanJan_UK_49]

New to you. Very impressed too. You show off the pick but do you ever play with just your fingernails ? I always seem to play more stuff when I put the pick down.

[@tadeuszborek5832]

Pozdrowienia z Polski

[@nativeeurope1299]

Seems like quite a character. Maybe see you if you get over to Sweden then on your European tour (do buskers call it a tour like bands do?).

[@ianhope3203]

Please is this the same guy I use to see and hear in Brighton years ago ?

[@ErekdaRouge-s2l]

Fantastic

[@leewithey2014]

Nice!!! 🎼

[@artfrob3754]

Thanks for listening

[@getexis8685]

Ipad apps for guitars effects ?... much smaller so really makes a lot of sense to buskin on the street around without the weight, jacks, batteries, etc. problem.

[@ghostwinterz]

Excellent video! Waited patiently for this to come out after the last one, such a simple but entertaining video, great setup and excellent consensus about the string gauges! Thanks Mark & Artfrob for the video!

[@artfrob3754]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@christophkotter7406]

[@landosazo7506]

[@agharta42]

[@giacomoconserva6913]

Ciao Marck Allen 🇮🇹

[@MRROBBIEWATTS]

[@michaelgdobie]

Hi Mark How often would you change your strings ? I am Busking and my string can last about one year ...should I change more often ?? Thanks

[@slimturnpike]

I didn't catch the name of the amp?

[@BryanClark-gk6ie]

i hate zoom pedals, very crappy fragile circuits and build

[@avalanche9026]

Isn’t getting to old ? Tired ? Of playing that thing ? Talent show off ?? Don’t have a life I guess. Hang on to what’s left. Hmm. Silly life

[@EmanueleQuarta-pk2zs]

Can you please spend a few dollars on teeth?

[@johnnyxmusic]

He’s saving up!

[@mikethebloodthirsty]

It happens, it's called getting old, yunno, that natural thing.... unless you live in America like you probably do?... you need shades to talk to someone cause their teeth are so bright😂, bleach yer teeth, bleach your aholes god knows what else😂
