@@mjlettieri Ha, already did Mark, from you, Cory Wong-related stuff, Snarky Puppy and others - you really know how to reinvigorate my interest in cool, funky groovy Jazz-Rock fusion-type of music 🎵!

[@Suush]

Next may I suggest checking out Sam Greenfield - he did a song with Mark and co. and it's positivity slappin'!

I love the grounded sound of Mark’s bariton. But as a bass player seeing Wes work his ass off on the bass is a treat in itself.

[@duartepereira6416]

I came in here to the comments section… because i had the most clear idea that he was playing a baritone.. I guess confirmed it. cheers.. ;) It sounds pretty pretty great. And .. does what he might have been after.. _ sort of a different touch.

[@BruinsFansUnite]

Wes is the man. He is a member of a forum i am on and is a chill dude who took the time to respond to me when I reached out about this session. @@duartepereira6416

Yes he is very good. But he needs to lose weight. Obesity can lead to heart disease, diabetes, osteoarthritis and many other diseases, if he is not already suffering from some.

Thank you my good man! And big thanks to the homey Deitchman(Adam Deitch) for laying down such a fun groove to play...

Four minutes and fifty-four seconds ago I had no idea what a baritone guitar would sound like. And now I can’t remember what anything BUT a baritone guitar sounds like! Incredible.

Fav guitarist for me. He got it all. Harmony,rythm,sounds,uniqness,writing,producing. Cmon!

[@daitos1955]

I think He plays guitar the way a bassplayer would.

[@TheFunkyKnucklesDallas]

@@daitos1955 well he can play the hell out of the bass too.

[@owenstuckey8676]

seconded, I love a lot of things about a lot of guitarists, but this guy is just the total package

[@eleetse6701]

His background is in athletics, not music. He got a track scholarship from TCU as a triple jumper, and his college degree is in marketing. Where the hell did he find the time to be such an accomplished player? As a Division 1 college prospect, in high school you know he spent his time training and going to track & field meets. If you’ve never seen a div 1 college athlete compete in high school, believe me the talent jumps out and it’s obvious they are in a different universe than the “normal” kids. My point starting out was he must be a dedicated and fast learner at least in college when he had no time to work on guitar. Well, he found it somehow.

[@Toddy9cent]

@Augusto Lopez Mark visited TIM PIERCE (search on YT), he shares some details there. At the beginning of practice, the bassist ALWAYS walked away or didn't come at all. Instead of getting angry, he started playing that part as well.

[@davidmhuey]

Saw The bass player Wes was local to Dallas. I’ll have to look him up and see them play! Get some tips….. great job!

[@TheFunkyKnucklesDallas]

Born and raised, man. Come say hi sometime.

[@davidmhuey]

@@TheFunkyKnucklesDallas you bet! I’ve discovered bass late in life and love it. Been playing a lot. You got chops for sure! Fun to watch you play.

[@uubuuh]

With fine music videos such as this one, there's sometimes the "moment", when there's something you've never quite heard before, an approach to music and the moment that makes you go, "oh! the universe is one notch bigger than I thought." Or maybe, "this music thing is connected to that other music thing", and when it's really special you'll see the musicians themselves reacting, even briefly, like whoa we're in the zone. So here it's Shaun Martin topping out his solo, forgoing the usual climactic cascade of notes, for an intense, melting harmonic layer which harnesses instead the energy of the riff when it comes back in hard to be his own energy amplifier, bending up into an unexpected and bold reharmonization of sorts until his eyes roll up and Herbie's face practically morphs out of his for a Sunlight second. So, yeah, I'd never seen or heard that before (around 4:00 - 4:20)

[@jawsxx8683]

Went down the rabbit hole and found myself here. Awesome!

[@claudiovallese40]

Here’s Mark with his trademark baritone guitar work

[@garymclaughlin7270]

Love the bass flare hard charging

[@reheller]

Magnetar! I’m electrified 🔌❤️🥇

[@AndreyRubtsovRU]

from a classically trained musician - how the do they all remember the track and not scared to up the recording with a single wrong note? Amazed.

[@joshjet2oo]

The muscle of remembering long form, complicated music is VERY similar to the muscle of being able sight read without thinking. If you do it as often as these guys do, coming from the backgrounds of playing in church, high end jazz/fusion orchestras/bands, and crazy intricate gigs, they just have incredible short term memory and recall from all the reps on that muscle. When people ask you “how do you sight read such complicated music without messing up?” It’s the same way that you’re reading my sentences without thinking about reading them, it’s just built in from repetition of learning/doing so much.

[@mykolas3587]

They’re all in one room, my neck hurts and I have a stank face while listening. Come on, quick, they’re spreading new Fun-K-oV variant!
