Come on guys let's not forget about that incredible snare tone. What a mix..

[@billharris7698]

Super tight bandmates, four monsters really! Sound guy really captured it all so well. This has to be one of the best live videos I've ever heard and I've hear a lot. Nice composition too, Mark. Superb!

[@danb2140]

Mark is a beast of a guitar player!!

[@bigg12421]

is it just me or does that bass tone sound incredible.

[@JBurneo]

it fucking does

[@chawanjernigan1196]

not just you at all... its glorious

[@-........]

5 string basses blow my mind every time when nicely mixed

[@rayonemartins8085]

Man! What a bass! 3:20

[@looniethemoonie5353]

It's a Sire Marcus Miller V7 Ash 5-string.

[@pipetrucciable]

I've listen this song a million times. Everyone in there is playing so tasteful.

[@christophersleight19]

This is excellent, God really loaded these men with talent. Beautiful sound.

[@samcomfort6564]

I’m a simple man. I see mark, I click

[@PedroTalarico]

That was spectacular. Kudos to Mark, the band and Supro.

[@musicalSFCat]

Great demo of such a sweet sounding warm amp. Mark Lettieri showcases the Supro Statesman with his stellar musicianship as a brilliant guitarist with his excellent band. Cheers.

[@sureits4reall]

Top notch guys. Mr Lettieri making that old wood smoke. Matt on the Marcus bass is singing as usual. You all grooved to the max, nothing wanting but a few smiles 😂

[@cliberg]

OMG,. Mark plays so CLEANLY!

[@jimsieben1970]

That snare drum sounds like a cannon! Man, this is great!

[@Ncarlos07]

Perfect Band!Great Tone and performance of all musicians! Congratulations to all!

[@studiomonster2012]

Wow! Fantastic performance. Mark’s tone is just perfect for the song. Love the metric modulation of the drums then goes back into the tune as well. 🤩👍🏼

[@johnb7889]

Best commercial I've ever seen!

[@PuttinOnTheRiffs]

all about that drummer doing exactly the right thing the entire time. this jam aint shit without that groove. so good

[@wyvernofhefei8712]

It's JT after all

[@michalmikolajmaslowski3994]

PHENOMENAL piece, fantastic playing, and great guitar tone, no question. I love it!

[@JimmyWatfordGuitar]

Were all right to be impressed. Great job. I personally was feeling the Jeff Beck influence.

[@captainsnarky6949]

Absolutely KILLED it.

[@freeguitarlessonschannelby6694]

LOVE THIS TUNE!

[@RJ-lf8ex]

That's a great band right there. Beautiful stuff, what an awesome composition.

[@stefandelovski6769]

Great playing by all. Awesome song guys

[@rictube11]

Instantly Loved It... Great mood and expression. Well Done!!

[@TeleCaster66]

Supro amps are excellent! So much character, I never grow tired of my Black Magick.

[@Luxdg]

Nothing can beat a good tube amp!

[@TheMysteryG]

That's the Sound , Great Job guys !!!

[@lespaul6550]

These guys ROCK!

[@naveed1986]

what an amp, what tone and what playing!

[@user-ge3dk2ks9e]

The band is just fantastic... Amazing music and skill... Кайф 👍

[@Bangkokguitar]

Just came across you about a week ago. Hats off. Love your playing. BTW, what an awesome band. Everyone is a powerhouse.

[@SinnGread]

all great but dang I hope to hear a lot more of Matt Ramsey playing bass! SOLID !!!!!!

[@jasonkerr931]

Love this!

[@wolfhorsky]

Lovely song, really really good performance. Amazing sound. Very cool looks. Those two red and blue LEDs look so vintage'y and hipnotic. Damn nice amp!

[@electricj5]

Smoking playing and great tone!

[@iangirod9169]

Nothing more to say than : "Oh yea !!!"

[@gwgwgwgw1854]

Beautiful!

[@DannyBrooks1]

I am going to have to check out a Statesman!

[@bizu_do_cabo]

Snare drum 👍👍👏👏👏

[@RobCabreraCh]

This is excellent!

[@kombik7189]

Larry Carlton meets Steve Vai with a bit of Scott Henderson.....TASTY!!!

[@danpurcea100]

love the Maj 9 opening chords (feels like Andy Summers, but in a diff context)

[@99jic]

Awesome playing and tone!

[@JRP3music]

Excellent band. Very nice!

[@brentonkelly3780]

Awesome.

[@johnvizzi2553]

Great band , 4 super musicians

[@leohernandezcolonful]

Geez what a player!

[@josedeleonvillegas5008]

Super excelente!!! Sin duda alguna, esta genial está composición, desconozco que sea algún tipo de canción por alguien más, pero estos tipos los hicieron excelente, LIKE!!!!!

[@robinmiller7958]

Inspiring stuff from all these cats.

[@thegee-tahguy4877]

These dudes are great at executing musical textures

[@dhruvpendharkar488]

That has something to with audio engineering right ?

[@bennyelsensohn9299]

@@dhruvpendharkar488 arrangement and audio engineering are two different things. A good performance with a bad mix can sound lifeless and dull but you can feel the emotions. A good mix from a bad performance can sound great but lacks feeling and sounds boring. In this case the arrangement is great, the band plays it full of emotions and very dynamically. Besides these things, the mix is also great and transparent. There is a quote in the audio mixing scene: if the performance is turd, you can only make polished turd out of it.

[@KristinaMay2109]

Veramente bravissimo👏mi sono innamorata😍

[@Fabio-Guidi]

Grande Mark... che classe!!!!!! Fabio (ITA)

[@killimcookie]

Hello, Nice played dudes! Mark Lettieri never fails, the band and JT on drums, that's a dream team! I'm happy to see this kind of sessions, will you bring more artists? Even those that aren't powered by Supro's, if possible? Thank you, A music fan!

[@ddjay1363]

Yeeaaahhhh!

[@axel6047]

Reminds me of Signals by Wayne Krantz, love it!

[@megnadh]

Wish there was a Super Like button !!

[@acevoncruz]

Hey dude, I like how your right hand works on your guitar playing 👌

[@woodentulike2no]

Drummer is so locked in!

[@marquinhosam]

Incrível!

[@karlitothebassplayerktbp6763]

dislikes = rage (bad guitarists who are jealous about mark's genius)

[@ariraphiel39]

Shout out to Kwinton's Super Saiyan Goku/Superman shirt

[@ricett9]

amazing sound, my body go on a moon haha

[@p4easy7]

good lord!

[@gergelyboros8138]

Good song 😀

[@Ragnar-Viking]

Hes fucking amazing

[@claytonmurrayguitar]

👐👐👐

[@matrags]

This is reminiscent of early Satriani, at least that's what I get.

[@kwyatt261]

It would fit right in on SWTA

[@nazv9]

I got the vibes too ... clouds racing across the sky vibes

[@nazv9]

At 3:08 ... its exactly echo from satriani god ... love when you hear the inspiration in a piece of music .. without it being a copy ..

[@christophjaeger9483]

Wohooo awesome tones! Do you use the loop at all or play all FX incl. Reverb and Echo into the front end of the amp?

[@PigtronixPedals]

Mark does not use the FX Loop. He runs everything in front of the amp.

[@patricksmith8783]

What the heck?.....unbelievable

[@ManelRuivo]

that drummer plays like he was boxing. holy shit, the guy smashes!

[@mohdrizaramlee]

Fcuk, that bass tone! Siiccckkkkk :p

[@rd3135]

keren....

[@user-fi4nz1vu9f]

Wonderful tone and fine playing.. What is on the pedal board?

[@gregs8685]

Satriani-ish but more jazzy/fusiony. And no shredding which is a welcome relief.

[@steveirl9414]

How much gain and volume (combined) is used for this type of tone? New to Mark's playing and love this "doesn't sound like a lot of gain" but still gives that "smooth" sound to it. Pedals in use?

[@LarryCleveland]

Let me start that over. Had you on 1.5x playback speed 😅

[@chawanjernigan1196]

Mark is blazing as always... But I need to know what kind of bass that is and what's his setup. The tone is marvelous.

[@alexledford4747]

The Supro sounds great for Mark...BUT THAT BASS TONE. It's so FAT but somehow still clear and crisp. I know it's a Sire Marcus fiver, which is really just like a high-end 5 string J-bass, and the bassist is obviously a monster, but I'm interested to know what exactly the secret sauce is to capturing that tone...it's amazing.

[@metallica3604]

What a band! Looks like Mark literally asked three person from the same family to be in his band 😅

[@aidennoble770]

How does he get that crazy sustain?? Is the amp just cranked?

[@AlbertoCmp_soundwave]

Omg

[@rickshipman9279]

I should have said a fine band!

[@Derpa_Derpa_777]

Do you guys think you could get Richard Fortus for the Statesman?

[@rickshipman9279]

Nice Bass,yea I get it

[@ahmedosman1909]

I like how he sounds Steve Vai'ish

[@johnpandolfino8663]

Pablom for the ears.......

[@joeinterrante7873]

by the title i thought it was an add for the spark pedal and an echo pdeal. Hmmm great song tone etc...

[@PlusDesign1969]

Love Mark's playing .... but damn , JT is AfMazing

[@green_building]

Man you really really at Guitar playing ✨

[@bertagriese8282]

What...? Guess you missed the verb, did you? :-D

[@spacejazz6272]

Berta Griese lol this comment could either be positive or negative and theres no way of knowing

[@aaronmajchen982]

This guy is a big Satriani fan.

[@dash4786]

anyone know how to get this kind of strat tone? pedals and eq?

[@PigtronixPedals]

that is a Don Grosh Strat into the Supro Statesman with all knobs at noon and both channels going. I believe Mark uses some overdrive pedals from J. Rockett Audio.

[@picklesnips3378]

He has a gear video posted where he talks about his strat and his pedal board

[@reymondagpaoa6570]

Just search mark lettieri's interview. He explained it all.

[@PigtronixPedals]

he talks about it here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/sH2le3mHm5t6b5o

[@ZachZiggie]

this is a promo for supro amps they really are great

[@zachstadelmaier8452]

As he seems to he a clean amp and all drive from pedals kind of player I wonder if he is using a Jrad "the dude" for his creamy lead tone here.

[@eliasricano7170]

Zachary Stadelmaier he actually does! And his signature MeLody pedal from j rockett too

[@wile9763]

Go listen to Fives by Guthrie Govan. Many "borrowed" licks from that song in this jam.

[@diegosouza9156]

Brasil 18/05/2022

[@RaveOn-zg6jy]

Dat drummer!!! Christ.

[@benjamin__lange]

Do somebody know the chords for the piano?

[@MrShane5150]

What effects is he using?

It's called practice/skill.....

[@margovallen]

When this had first came on.. I wanted to turn it off but, I couldn't. It does kick some serious boo-tay.

[@ALT3REDB3AST]

Guthrie Govan vibes all over this!🤓

[@isaak7581]

Omg please who no the name of the bassiste and drummer ?

[@Supro_USA]

Isaak Bm -- Matt Ramsey on bass, Jason "JT" Thomas on drums!

[@SotirisVasileiadis]

Very nice!Although i can't understand 13 dislikes!That's everybody's taste of music....

[@DuxJerome]

No artist is everybody's taste.

[@OperationEndGame]

Becuase its not a br00talz metal high gain amp...

[@jas_bataille]

No thay's not everyone taste in music. I'm a Snarky Puppy lover, but this sounded like generic jazz-fusion to me like something you could hear in a mall... just my opinion. Masterfully done, but no artistic substance to it IMHO.

[@mjlettieri]

Jas Bataille Haha! What kinda malls do you shop at!? 🤘🏻😆
