Mark Lettieri - Groove Practice (Baritone)

[@jus_s_tin9340]

I could swear I saw that Prince poster smile !

[@DojoOfCool]

Prince and Joe Dart walk into a bar....

[@offgridcurtisstone]

You're a monster of the groove brother. Love all your records.

[@cagedoctaves]

That right hand technique blends together the best parts of guitarist Al Di Meola and funk bassist Bobby Vega. From the wrist action at its finest.

[@egenc94]

Can you make a home rig rundown?

[@Jack_95]

Love how he keeps looking into the camera like “I know you’re all nodding too, it’s ok”

[@FunkymetalBL]

That’s some Lettierified Princely funk 💜 🎸

[@stanislawcronberg3271]

I've listened to so much Fearless Flyers at this point, that whenever I hear something funky from you I start expecting Cory, Joe and Nate to come in at any moment 🎸🥁

[@6x21]

Prince on the wall!

[@ANUBISULTRA]

That sounds like a live PRINCE concert jam moment

[@matthewo039hara8]

If I was blind, I knew this was mark just from that distinct playing and feel. Always a pleasure getting to listen from a great mind

*I’d know, *Mark, *listen to …

[@massivebeatzz]

Fantastic sound - the grunt of that Baritone guitar. I need to have one.

[@cutronixxx]

How am I going to cook eggs while I’m dancing to this? These are going to be some funky scrambled eggs. I hope you’re happy, you groove wizard and face melter!!

[@brooksharris3231]

Nice of Chicago Music Exchange to let Mark practice in their main lobby whenever he wants.

[@thorndog100]

Love the Prince print in the background. Love the baritone grooves in the foreground. Nice....

[@thegee-tahguy4877]

One of the bass player's function in a band is to get people's hips moving so they get up and dance. Baritone guitar can be the best of both worlds, as seen here, because it can not only produce an infectious dance groove, but it's melodic chording range reaches into guitar range with all its expressiveness. Now, if the baritonist works out their fills tightly with the drummer, holy shit happens.

[@libertarious]

As primarily a bass player and secondarily a guitar player, I can relate to your analysis; thus a baritone is on the shopping list.

I actually recently bought a Bass-VI like baritone guitar and I can confirm every word you're saying. I can swap to bridge pickup to make little solos and arpeggios and sounding like a guitar and then move to the neck PU to just be massively present as a bass. This is the future.

[@amitshakhar7575]

But he's playing with an octaver

[@gitarmats]

So groovy it's borderline criminal.

[@kallebriede]

Cool😊

[@gimmeagig]

I love the baritone guitar. Until you came along I didn't even know there was such a thing.

[@wxb200]

I dont know if you heard this already or need to hear this, BUT, you are a BEAST!

[@geoffforduk]

Hey Mark. Picked up a PRS SE 277 the other week. So far loving it (have your transcriptions!). What do you use for your drums in these practice sessions? Is it s Logic plugin or similar?

[@AnotherJoe]

Awesome 😎 especially that base @0:48 👌🏻

[@JeanPJams]

Hey Mark, are you going to the Ground Up music fest?

[@mjlettieri]

Of course! Mark Lettieri Group plays on the Saturday!

[@francescom49numfunk82]

Excellent one ✌️juste superbe !

[@hunter548]

Does "Stank Face" come packaged with that guitar? 🤪

[@jeewilly321]

Are you playing through an amp sim at home, or do you have an amp mic'd? Great groove! Enjoying these videos.

[@mjlettieri]

Thanks! It's just direct into my Apogee interface, with an octave effect added from Logic Pro.

[@davidgoode7416]

Awesome man

[@bernardodon7501]

What kinda Pickup is the white one behind the black Bridge PU?

[@ssdtrain1]

Mark must have been a Prince fan..👍

I know it's not really the focus, but I'm curious to know what do you use for the backing tracks?

I create them myself in Logic X.

Mark, this is fire. What baritone guitars are you rocking?!

[@mjlettieri]

Thanks! This is a Bacci baritone, but I also favor the PRS 277, Supro Hampton, Danelectro '56, and Hybrid Guitars Big 6. A world of low-end out there... :)

Wow, that is FUNKY. I've never heard a baritone played like that! Is that p-bass pickup in that thing?

Thanks! Yes - it’s half a P Bass pickups that engages the bottom three strings through a separate output.

[@mattdevol3339]

Fun stuff! Mark should record more funk, less jazz. More foot stomping music like The Baritone Sessions!

[@mjlettieri]

Haha! I don't really do any actual "jazz" - I just like "expensive" chords from time to time :)

[@andysolomon279]

@@mjlettieri ha, expensive chords, I like that!!! 😂

[@TheArchiveOfWonder]

I think you should experiment with some 7 string playing! Let's you have the best of both worlds.

[@mjlettieri]

I have a 7, and it's cool, but the scale length of the baritone is where the magic comes from :)
