Mark Holcomb (of Periphery) PRS Clinic at Pitbull Audio

[@HauntedShoresDC]

Thanks for watching! This was a fun one.

[@PitbullAudio]

Big Thanks Mark we really enjoyed having you. We look forward to your return for more coolness!!!

[@nathanmcdonnell2012]

Whyd the se model go up by around 200 from last years if the only difference is fixing the logo?

[@nathanmcdonnell2012]

From last years price* (Price on thomann and pretty much anywhere I checked)

[@espressoshot21]

Thanks for doing these workshops & lesson videos, Mark. You're my inspiration!

[@kenparker9574]

Love watching this one.

[@chadbowhuis6192]

If only someone could have told young Mrak, staring up at that unattainable PRS on the wall, "Don't worry, you'll be a signature artist with them someday."

[@NathanR0093]

"Mine is 20 inches" - Mrak, when taken out of context hahahaha

[@nickyelovich3872]

Yeah, Mrak bro

[@dethdrummer88]

I'm not even really into guitarists (being more of a drummer myself), but I could listen to this guy talk about anything! His passion for his craft is a wonderful thing to behold.

[@fondfarewell2]

these clinics are golden. marks a cool dude, love his passion for music.

[@xaptronic]

Instead of riff graveyard.. they should call it the riffridgerator

[@EmbarrassedComposer]

Alex Pilon you sir, are a genius 😂

[@andreasodell]

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@mcp20366]

First answer from Mark: liked vid immediately....at 9m pressed the like button again...Mark is a good human being and excellent musician.

[@moogle.]

Amazing how that dude at 7:30 standing to the right in the grey shirt looks like a carbon copy of Mark himself.

[@pedrosalazar2667]

Shit fam, that's me

[@pedrosalazar2667]

It's even funnier cause I saw Misha like last Tuesday, and I got told the exact same thing by another guy who was like "when you walked in the door I swear I thought it was Mark"

[@pedrosalazar2667]

Asyraf Fazali 1:11:40 I ask him stuff

[@deadeyes2803]

i once was at a mall suddenly behind me was sitting a guy looking exactly like tosin abasi to the right a long bearded man in his cellphone with a girl looking like jake and infront of me was a young misha mansoor eating with his parents it was uncanny the resemblance

[@Okshake]

Well the guys from Periphery all look like regular dudes like they should be fixing computers they don't really look like typical rockstars lmfao

[@eduardovaldez2401]

What I like the most about Mark, apart from being such an extraordinary guitar player, is his human quality...

[@MikaTarkela]

Would be cool to hear the questions or have some subtitles for them.

[@TheHolyNade]

that riff from have a blast at 1:01:26 is so god damn good...

[@lustandluster]

TheHolyNade even just the progression in itself naked is so damn good

[@akiba5993]

TheHolyNade literally my favorite riff on the planet dude. Do you know chords those are tho?

[@fondfarewell2]

that song at the end is beautiful, the way it goes into scarlet is perfect.

[@julzsadventuresinmusic7492]

there are 2 recordings of that song, instrumental misha bulb demo and a OMNOM (band with misha n mark on guits) version with Elliot Coleman... epic song

[@TheChromeMan3]

Julien "Julz" Ellyson I think its called epic fail lol

[@TechMetalRules]

Air Heads reference!? Mark, you're the best!

[@catdaddy57]

Great video.Mark is such a nice guy... I just ourchased his PRS SE and its fantastic.... Mark truly is an inspirational guitarist....

[@Branbreakers]

Oh God, I just realized you can hear the nervousness and shakiness in my voice when I asked him my question(s) at around the 44 minute mark 😂

[@GothicXlightning]

4:40 That dead on gone Crazed face expression that he makes when he is Chugging the hell of his miss PRS is one of the things that inspire me TRUST from the guy and i can relate

[@josuastangl7140]

23:59 "just a custom 24 ... nothing custom about it"

[@kenowerner7652]

this tone is amazing lol Im dying to get it

[@IanRWC43]

holy FUCK he played Bulb at the end. beautiful.

[@brandonlam1477]

Such a chill dude

[@Fenghorn_Zob]

tbh. Prayer position is my fave off the new album

[@ebean9158]

The flickering light is really distracting hahaha

[@boostuse]

@Mark Holcomb Are your strings super close ,I remember you saying something about it, that the strings make a sound against the frets ,that it was typical for you to have that sound, you were playing Misha's guitar

[@dougcronkhite2113]

Figures Mark does a clinic in my home town when I'm on the other side of the world.

[@melvinsilalahichannel]

Hail Holcomb!

[@cesarescalona3913]

What a kind guy! Is pretty cool because he can create those big metal riffs and thats headbangers jazzy chords progressions. I wonder how is using his phone for play the backing track: any special app or something to know about the setup?

[@dynatwenty]

There are aux in slots on some amps to playback media. It´s going into the guitar amp i think.

[@jaggercontreras9270]

Awesome

[@bantzrayder8976]

Anyone know if there's a way to do the automatically changing patches with real amps?

[@Malleuss]

He seems like such a pleasant guy. I really want to enjoy Periphery more, but something about their sound just feels bloated to me. Still, very insightful video, much appreciated.

[@WhoAmIWill]

Kinsman it's definitely a band that you have to grow to love. Start off with periphery II and the juggernaut albums. They are the best to listen to for new fans in my opinion

[@LarryDaGamerGuy]

It's not for everybody, but that goes for every genre. I got started on there Periphery III album. That album got me into the band. It just takes time to get into certain things. But it's true, without enjoying Periphery's stuff, you can still appreciate the musicianship from Mark.

[@rybanberr2770]

LarryDaMusicGuy or the musicianship from any of the guys in that band, all of them are pretty awesome, although mark is definitely my favorite

[@mettalx1]

That Scarlet performance duuude!!!

[@chhau123]

mettalx1 wow yr profile pic is a Really old one

[@Pughhead]

Why does his tone suck in this video :( wasn't using the AxeFx or an Archon or something? When he played the beginning of the News on a rhythm patch on the bridge with the volume turned down... why Mrak, why...

[@Mad-v3d0n]

Prop the guys at the venue did shit job in placing the mics,That proves the reason to use AxeFX.

[@Koivisto147]

camera speakers

[@Pughhead]

Doik *microphone

[@jeffneiman4635]

He was using a mic'd amp. To get similar tones as the AxeFX the mic has to be placed perfectly and most likely you need multiple and some insanely high quality that just wouldn't have been practical for this specific instance. Most likely this was the case because Mark is sponsored by PRS and he (right fully so) loves their stuff and needs to showcase it whenever he can. This is an instance where things could have been way better but weren't and the choice to go with sponsored gear was a liming factor in the recorded audio. I bet it sounded killer live!

[@WhoAmIWill]

It’s didn’t sound too bad. It was a very usable tone

[@OPAIK]

The guy in the fit for a king shirt is definitely a undercover cop

[@onatercelik]

1:17:45 scarlet

[@rly_media]

Dude at 40:06 "Woah is that Mrak?!"

[@khatri8647]

What amp is he using?

[@JaimeEskobar]

Dat instrumental set tho

[@wenchcarroteh06]

I thought it was Chris Cornell for a second.

[@kingcorrey9908]

Somethings wrong with this production, he sounds like he’s playing through a line 6

[@aiyka_music]

How do they improvise like that without knowing theory ? How can u not play a wrong note that sounds off?!

[@andrewwhitmore8756]

Skywalker Know your fret board. I do it all the time.

[@themourning1783]

There is so much wrong here I do not know where to start. Give yourself a few decades of playing hours a day and I promise you this performance will be, not only completely unimpressive but sloppy as well. A good guitarist and songwriter he may be but a great performance and killer sound quality this is not.

[@TechMetalRules]

Mustache guy looks like he's not supposed to be there.

[@5inistermm_109]

he should be mowing lawns

[@Panda_SMM]

1:14:01 what an epic fail

[@haunsaku5158]

Yup. Lots of great guitarists, but a lot also leave their soul off the track

[@darenwalker2517]

That stobe light bs is really annoying

[@Bakier6969]

9 strings XD

[@Achimski]

Sorry, but his favourites got me dissapointet. As much as i love his play wit periphery - this is sad.

[@jamesmelton5245]

Mark Holcomb should keep DiMarzio out of his mouth he's not worthy of saying that name especially when his pickups are trash there's no dynamic range between the neck and the bridge whatsoever

[@mr.tryhardguitarguy2842]

Do you need a tissue?

[@WhoAmIWill]

Someone is salty that he switched from dimarzio to seymour duncan it seems.

[@jamesmelton5245]

Droid96 tried them they sucked. He's seems to like to talk about DiMarzio in his clinics even when Jake uses DiMarzio Titans which are way better than his sd

[@jamesmelton5245]

Droid96 oh and actually don't care for his style.

[@jakesummers4600]

He definitely sounds offended. Like totally insulting a stranger and stuff so passionately. DEFEND YOUR FAVORITE BRANDS LIKE YOU'RE ON SALARY EVERYONE!!. SD > DiMarzio>Android>Microsft>Lucky Jeans
