This couldn't be any more professional. The musicianship, the tone, the video quality and editing are all just perfect.

[@JohnECocaine]

Yes, and the complete lack of grit, soul, and swagger.

[@geomusicmove]

@@JohnECocaine "grit, soul, and swagger", as in sloppy playing?

Mark Lettieri is the best guitar player ever, he is a real MASTER of the guitar~USA

[@NickRatto]

What a most pleasant noise as a trip into A time of Sundays and open Wine bottles glimmers in the evening lights,never going home again,, transformed to stay inside this life’s tone ,not a worry left just a distant,tone 😊

[@mikekochan2677]

Absolutely fantastic guys need more like this, could listen all day long 😊

[@AfterAugustine]

Mark came out of the womb with a guitar 🎸

[@DVDFRMN]

WES! Wes is incredible on this tune

[@stephenironmonger348]

Sick so tight and very smooth soothing

[@tommykavounidis]

That lick at 4:11 was slick and smooth loved it. Love the whole album, can't get enough!

[@cliftontorrence839]

you right

[@MyRealName]

Those people who keep the "real" music alive are true heroes. Thank you for this, it's beautiful, every little detail is so perfect. I can't even imagine how much work went into this.

[@SkatingSheepVids]

Drummer going crazy towards the end, holy moly!!

[@markmark9639]

Find "Slugbug" by them...JT totally goes off impromptu

[@ARGBlackCloud]

Nice !!!

[@TonyAguirreJazz]

Lettieri, Cory Wong and Snarky Puppy keeping the instrumental thing alive and I love them all for it. The clean tones are insane

[@ericgelders]

Agree! All possess great musicianship and put out interesting music - like this gem!

[@costabotes9107]

Incredible.

[@satrianifreak]

This tune is just spectacular. Every bit about it is perfect. Mark is definitely my favorite modern guitar player encompassing so many styles with flawless melody and technique.

[@uubuuh]

You know lliterally in the first two notes this bass player totally has his crap together. The attack, timing, focus, clarity, and space between those two low C's is perfect. Real attention to detail, great sounding gear (yes excellent recording), but just the natural breathing precision speaks of literally millions of notes played along the way. I dig it.

[@Johnbobon]

You said it better than I ever could.

[@jeffwolinski2659]

Yep!

[@101xaplax101]

this guy is soooo fluid ........it is really marvelous to watch

[@PhilHarmonic87]

I reaaaaaally love this so much! :)

[@lucianorighetto2741]

Questo chitarrista come suona mi fa letteralmente impazzire, bravissimo.

[@mick2181]

Monster trio ! perfect !

[@JulianFernandez]

That basss... that rhythm section!

[@ireneruthfox]

Right on.....They groove like peanut butter & jelly.

[@ancilssonsiler4246]

One word ... Mouthwatering

[@gilleshinaut66]

Tout simplement sublime !!!

[@keyanhardman2197]

the bassist is just... insane

[@jbruner182]

Best song on the album. And its an insane album

[@lvrbass]

this is my favorite off the album for sure..just has such a ethereal and ambient vibe. and the tone...OHH THE TONE

[@cliftontorrence839]

So tight . So right ! Thank you.

[@eapeters12]

Can't get enough of this. The solo... no words!!

[@laurensbuys]

Amazing tune!

[@ivankachkovski]

This is fantastic!

[@lvrbass]

that slide line is so..i dont even know

[@viniciusleaoa]

That is simply out of this world

[@zhafrantan6934]

Are we not gonna talk about how sick the drumming is??

[@markmark9639]

not yet...go listen to FORQ band "Cowabunghole"

[@erwinvaldecanas2307]

wow !!!! Just so amazing

[@AtillatheHut]

Such a great song! To Mark Lettieri, all involved in the making of this video, everyone involved in the writing, recording and producing of this song, all involved in band management and press and anyone watching and listening I want to say God Bless you all and your families. Your Heavenly Father knows you and loves you all, Jesus is the Way to eternal life please please please all repent and follow Him. The Kingdom of God is waiting for you. And when you have time I encourage you all to pray this prayer: 'Heavenly Father, what do you want to show me?" and then listen

[@supersapphire]

one of my favorite songs as of late thought i would just see the guitarist play the song over a track but as a drummer i couldnt stop watching him lol so amazing.

[@supersapphire]

revisting this, just bought my first electric guitar a steinberger. super stoked to learn and attempt musical creativity such as this

[@mothbits]

Masterful melodrama at it's finest doe.

Aghh just so good!!!

[@attilapiko1741]

Prof Grat

[@ericgelders]

Love how the drums sometimes become so sparse and apparently off-beat it all seems to derail but just in time it all grooves in unison - brilliant! It sometimes echoes Steve Vai's versatility in playing (I know it's dangerous to compare, but I mean it in a good way) IMHO.

[@aserick2825]

Me encantan tus voicings y tu sonido.

[@juliansanchezmusic]

Hi Mark, great album!! it sounds awesome!! What kind of reverb, delay and overdrive do you used? Love that sound and the sound of your strat... cheers from Colombia.

[@goblesqb7]

Check out his Spark and Echo Q&A videos on the ValhallaInstruments channel. He shows his entire board, most of his guitars, and goes through his amps.

[@juliansanchezmusic]

+Adam Newton, ok thanks!!

[@pauljohnson4083]

Does he have the Seventh Day Adventist logo as the 12th fret inlay in that bass?

[@andreasdjamas9808]

Hey Mark!! Hey!! Is the chord progression i-vi-iv-ii?? Thanks Mark!! Thanks!!!

[@aps13]

Hi Mark, I visited soundslice in order to purchase the tablature/transcription of this tune but It does not seem to be available as stated above, Is there anywhere else I can purchase it?

[@changisfiroozi9695]

Hey Mark! Can you do tabs of this song? I didn't see this in soundslice.. :(

[@drummondF]

I wish this song was in the Spark and Echo Soundslice. Sadly it is not.

[@davidsonrodriguezofficial]

uoww!

[@hugo54758]

I think blissful is a good description for what I heard

[@BorNeoProg]

Hey Mark, clicked the TABLATURE/TRANSCRIPTION link and it doesn't work. :(

4:01

[@eapeters12]

yes! one of my favorite parts

[@123456qw6]

That 4:02 got me 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@TomFord-kp8fh]

When Chris Burney is your man for hitting that bass, and Jack Burnick excuses him to go play for Mark. You just know it makes sense.

[@TomFord-kp8fh]

I know it's not him I'm totally joking.
