There’s only one Mark Lettieri. Oh wait…

[@JazzLicks]

So that’s how he plays in all those bands

[@tonyleeglenn]

Very fine bit of melodic fusion. I love the way he brings in the baritone guitar to thicken the groove during the latter third of the composition. The soloing is never mindless with Mark - it's always going somewhere. Thanks for creating this Mr. Lettieri - you are inspirational!

[@gr637]

Ti me the sign of a great guitarist is when you recognise them after a couple of notes. Mark Lettieri is one of them.

[@flashythingme]

I don't know. He sounds like every other guitar player in this video...

[@markmark9639]

You're absolutely right, and I like when I hear something new, and it is exactly what you wanted to hear from the artist. This song just feels like it was next, the next step in Mark's progression of his style. It also sounds as if he's been carrying it around in his head for awhile, perfecting it, until he had to let it out and share it. Haha I always read way too much into these things, easily wrapped up into the why this or that is so entertaining. I 'll let myself just enjoy the surprise of a new piece and the pleasure of watching Mark master his craft.

[@glockmaster77]

yup same with STEVE VAI

[@AItraumaresponse]

A lot of what compels me to listen to Mark L. is a sense of "What's he got up his sleeve next?" There's always so many techniques applied, exciting phrasing and a mind-boggling assortment of chords and inversions. Everything is so appropriately placed too. Also, he unleashes the robot at 4:10. An ascendant man.

[@riibs6166]

Just listened to Dragonfly on spotify and I have to say, fantastic stuff as always! Really excited for the album release this July. If the rest of the album is as good as the new single release, we're really eating good this year!!

[@mjlettieri]

I think it is! Haha! Thanks!

[@davetuttle1105]

Love it! So many Marks......!

[@andywoodmusic]

Mic’d up crate is the right call.

[@mjlettieri]

The only way to tone.

[@TheRodge2112]

Super melodic, as usual. Not to reveal my gear-nerdiness, but do I spy a crate combo amp? You do not see that very often these days!

[@xblinketx]

My first amp! Crate GX15

[@melchiorvalentine769]

You would know his sound and his playing anywhere. Amazing

[@Proggy__]

I like the little mic'd up Crate amp😆

[@gfrozin]

So many Marks, and also so many Fiores! In fact a beautiful showcase of the many colors and textures of this beautiful guitar.

[@jeffwolinski2659]

So many great songs from this guy but this may just be my favorite now, so damn good!

[@gaelicflame298]

Every time I get to the end my hand involuntarily goes for the replay button... I can't stop...

[@FelipeRandolfiMusic]

DANM MARK, you did it again?

[@pectenmaximus231]

You make such kickass music

[@BradMiller007]

Such an awesome chord progression Mark filled with groove and soul. Your soloing is so melodic. You never disappoint

[@chilenazote]

I Saw you in SOPAC , NJ, what a show, brilliant. Nice person and an outstanding musician

[@LuxeFilmography]

This track rules so hard. Can't wait for the new album!

[@WailingRaven]

Oh, hi Marks.

[@Dmitry_Pro]

Very good! Catchy tune with punchy groove!

[@zachindes]

Excited for this! Really enjoyed the albums and the Deep sessions so this is just another gold on the hit parade

[@markmark9639]

Freakin awesome, exactly what I've come to expect from you. Fresh and vibrant, routine but excitingly new, and ML just all over it like , well yeah! And the album drops the day before my 65th, thanks Mark! Would love to see the show like I did for the spacey album.

[@massivebeatzz]

Love the visuals! Really cool idea. Bunch a Marks casually hanging out. And the sonic palette of all of this....

Awesome & beautiful!

[@Grahfx]

Already listened more than 10 times... So many good things in this song, you should make an entire album in this style.

[@ShawnTubbs]

There are more than a few signature Marks on this track!! Love it, man!! So good!!

[@kevinjbiro6849]

Great stuff Mark. You're kill'in it!!!

[@DannyBeardsley]

One of the best guitar players on the scene! Awesome! 🙌

[@tammiller9139]

Streaming on repeat. Loving the sound !! Fantastic as always- super excited and looking forward to the album coming out in July. We'll be seeing you in Sacramento next week - is it true we can pick up the new album then, before everyone else !?!?!?

[@RunTheFlowers]

One of your best, killing it 🤌🤌

[@bencallard3711]

Nice work, Marks!

[@dirkrose1550]

Great music and of course great guitar playing of Mr. Lettieri…🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸 🤗🤗🤗🤗

[@daievans2637]

Ive had this on repeat for 2 hours 😂😂👌

[@sebastienboisvert3268]

This really hits the Mark 😅

[@woodentulike2no]

My Bose surround sound has never had such a tasty Treat!

[@AZFunk]

All the Fiores and a Crate amp! What more could you want? ;)

[@mjlettieri]

Tone for daaaayyyssss....

[@ericgerber4099]

Let’s ML Go!

[@Jared45513]

My goodness, the run just after the 4:00 mark..... so freakin clean man. Not just the amount of notes, but the clear and defined seperation in-between each.

[@mattrollins7506]

Man, you can tell me whatever you want.

[@igrok__1]

Beautiful as always, Mark! Can't wait for a new album!

[@DragonPhlyy]

Hey you wrote a song about me!

[@joelwhite2361]

Love it! Keep repping Fort Worth for us Mark! You're amazing!

[@christophermatthew2141]

So cool! Keep on keeping on man!! 😎

[@rafaelmoura1663]

🔥

[@lozzano]

Love it Mark! Keep on posting great music!

[@fives.]

Badass edit: just realised you mic'd a Crate combo for this and I'm impressed you'd break out such vintage unobtainium like that edit #2: PRS Fiore baritone spotted in the wild but I'm not saying where just in case Paul sends shooters to my home

[@mikekochan2677]

Great sound, keep on rocking 👍

[@eldani8095]

Yeah man! Great stuff

[@lorenzohoyt5529]

Hey Mark, huge fan!! Please put 'Futurefun', 'Knows', and 'Out by Midnight' on CD and vinyl! I will buy multiple copies of each! Love your work, want to see you in Thousand Oaks, Calif, hopefully. You're in with my huge collection of Pat Metheny and Steely Dan! God bless!

[@mjlettieri]

Thanks! Knows and Futurefun are on CD, and OBM is on both CD and vinyl! www.marklettieri.com/music-store

[@ChristopherAndersonDP]

Great stuff! Really looking forward to the album!

[@danieljamesoconnor6800]

Nice one bruv! What a joy. Funny how you became the favorite guitar player of some people. Love it!

[@EricBourassa]

dude this is my JAM. new fave 🤘

[@dmljones2550]

The low pitch rift is bordering on rock, yet the lead notes in parts quite melodic.

[@yurita1984]

i'm just in love with this guy! I'm straight 😀

[@rodrigospelz2258]

Mark's playing feels so right! He is one with music alv

[@ramontarbg]

Yeah!!! Great song!!! Congratulations!!!

[@berndkiltz]

Looking forward to the Album!

[@hinnelein1]

Aber sowas von!

[@hinnelein1]

Ich freu mich auch auf dein neues Album!

[@berndkiltz]

@@hinnelein1 Oh Danke! 16.11 :)

[@hinnelein1]

Hast du eigentlich die Fiore von Mark schon mal spielen können? Ich hab mir die rote letzten Sommer bei Thomann bestellt und behalten weil sie super ist 😊

[@berndkiltz]

@@hinnelein1 Ich hatte eine extrem schlechte Erfahrung mit PRS und spiele seitdem keine PRS Gitarren mehr, weder privat noch hier auf YT.

[@StephenLamb-on2yt]

So good, thank you Mark.

[@yamitanomura]

Great video !! I'm in love with your guitars !

[@geoffforduk]

That'll do nicely thank you. Looking forward to the rest 👍

[@WillBrahm]

Beautiful lines Mark!

[@alexandros_finizio]

Great track Mark!🔥🔥 Also loving the little Crate combo!!

[@SafirLamkhantar]

Wow, the last third of the song is cool, made me think: "instant classic"

[@alcirdc]

it was worth the wait ... great !!!

[@GuitarrPlayer94]

Super pumped to see you play the Anthem in DC! Got VIP tix - would love to jam!

[@DrTomoculus]

Great!!!

[@grantaalborg3894]

Thank you. I love it..

[@okanohajime]

Cool !!!!!👍

[@weijieyang-gx6kd]

I saw your pack on garage band and it was so nice and musical. Hope you make more packs on garage band because I know it’s going to be awesome.

[@mjlettieri]

Thanks! Would be fun to do more!

[@Haku_records]

you know its gonna be sick song when sensei whips out the crate amp!!!

[@gonzaklez]

Drums and bass remember me Satriani in 80's :)

[@bluesdriver6354]

AWESOME!!!

[@TheLittleQueenMx]

Yep. I love you, sir.

[@richardroskell3452]

Rockin’!

Every guitar player is going to the basement right now to check if the ol' Crate practice amp is still there.

[@rixmix60]

total awesomeness, love it

[@suplementiband]

Yeas!!!

[@Joe-bs9dj]

Amazing

[@rubenzubiate7778]

súper excelente me encanta la manera distinta de tocar, te aparta de todos los demás pues creaste un estilo propio muchas felicidades.

[@RODRIGOMELO777]

🇧🇷

[@richardsanchezjr.2273]

So nice!!

[@gregmaslyn]

Are you getting like, younger somehow?? This is such a BOP

[@daankuraas2361]

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@AllDogsAre]

Thank you, I needed this today 🔥

[@ScottGailor]

Amazing, the Crate amp was a nice touch. 😂

[@pipetrucciable]

That Crate amp!! That’s been the secret all along. 🤘

[@glennkaufman7228]

A very pleasant sounding bit of music, I'd say. The player appears to have very fine dexterity and understands the way this particular instrument can generate various sounds. A sonically well-conceived recording with the right hints of distortion at appropriate intervals. I would recommend that this Mark Lettieri chap continue to pursue his interests in this field. I believe that he as a modicum of aptitude for a career, but only if he continues to practice and strive to learn and grow every day. Nice sneakers too.

[@bennyelsensohn9299]

Okay

[@obsoletecd-rom]

Now that I think about it, it’s a little crazy. I have tickets for Wednesday and Thursday at the Iridium and Friday at SOPAC. Looking forward to it. Hope JT is good to go this time!

[@thatrandomchannel]

I will be at sopac as well!!!

[@user-tf6iv4uh3p]

❤

[@glennkav]

Fuck yeah!

[@RobinBassett]

Layers and orchestration. Surprised only three clones were needed. There are plenty of blazing guitarist out there, (Mark is too obviously😀) but this is just very good music. I’m happy!

[@JulianFernandez]

Crate amps do sound good!

[@johandinho97]

great vid!

[@user-kx5xc2rd6m]

Офигеть!!!

[@SYguitar]

太棒了！！！🤩
