Great lessons Martin , for someone like me trying to learn song writing , and arranging .

[@bassmonsteradsit7160]

DUDE! My fave episode yet. I"m a Hard Rock and Metal guy, progressive in the mix. Old and new schools both. This episode struck me the most though. I was not aware how much swing and groove was already in my playing. This made it fairly obvious. Thanks @Martin Miller and @Mark Lettieri for enlightening about myself :P

I forget where I heard this, but "your left hand is what you know, your right hand is who you are"

[@BuyaBaraka]

Now, that got me thinking. Interesting.

So much patience and respect from Martin here. Mark didn't want to 'teach' Martin or to patronise him in any way BUT... Martin was trying to slow him down so us mere mortals could follow. Martin waited for a gap and then slipped it in where he could. Great interview technique Martin, well done. Mark, your playing is emotional even when you're doodling!

[@MartinMillerGuitar]

I definitely slowed him down so I could catch up 😂

[@Lectric_Blue]

@@MartinMillerGuitar ... and so we could see how it was broken down. Well done Martin I really enjoyed watching.

[@MartinMillerGuitar]

Thanks a lot!

Martin I love your humility! A genius learning from another genius!!!

[@matsnermark5603]

Mr Lettieri is quite possibly the grooviest guitar player in the history of music.

[@julient.6311]

Almost but there is Greg Howe on this planet ;)

[@80three57]

Paul Jackson Jr has been doing it better than anyone for decades

[@matsnermark5603]

@@80three57 I'm a huge fan of Paul Jackson and he's indeed very funky. Have you checked out his parts on Natalie Cole's Pink Cadillac (the album version)?

[@caliathleticfitness5602]

Lettieri is very clinical in his playing, very precise. I myself find players with a bit more swing to be more groovy. I personally think John Mayer is the grooviest guitarist of our time.

[@matsnermark5603]

@@caliathleticfitness5602 I don't know if this makes sense as English is not my native language, but I make a difference between "timing" and "groove" where groove is more about rhythm playing and the picking hand plays the main role. I admire John Mayer very much and think he has great timing, but I have not heard him play rhythm grooves like Mark L and Paul J. I don't doubt Mr Mayers ability, I just haven't heard him do that groove thing.

[@tauronval1404]

Lettieri….Just an incredible Guitarist…Class, dynamic, touch…👍🏻👍🏻

[@dinocore5707]

Damn, I never thought a rhythm lesson would rock my world. 6 minutes in and guitar us already in hand. Thank you for these lessons

[@kevroyo]

Man, I have you to thank for introducing me to Mark with the Purple Rain cover video, his solo had me absolutely floored and I’ve been a fan ever since. Really cool to see you two just jamming and sharing knowledge like this, great video Martin!

[@MrPhrygianmaniac]

I think Mark wrote about 6 or 7 songs that can instantly go on an album here hahahaha, amazing ! Martin, this is excellent stuff, thank you so much for doing this and please keep'em coming !

[@nguquaxanguyen5224]

martin you onto something big with this series

[@aakashmondal789]

Mark is phenimenal. I first saw hm in Purple rain and his solo brought tears to my eyes.

[@JorgeOreMusic]

Awesome stuff!...it's great to analyze and break things down this way as sometimes we tend to do things on guitar as second nature but our learning of "why" and "how" we do things increases as we dig further into our playing. I really enjoyed this, made me think about my own rhythmic guitar playing and added some extra ideas to keep adding spice to my chops. I also like the respect you two show for each other as musicians...it's always good to have that kind of relationship and camaraderie without feeling like it's a competiton of who's better or who knows more...just playing and sharing ideas and growing together...it's what music is all about... Thanks to both of you for this video!

[@paulkevinspencer6932]

Martin, thanks for sharing this! Mark is like you! A freaking amazing musician!

[@stevelandsaw3132]

So many great moments in this video. Martin is such a great teacher AND student.

[@Dommy17]

Thanks Martin for this excurse, Mark is one of my most favourite guitarist and I enjoyed very much. Its quiet interesting how individual is the tone of everyone playing finger style, especially seeing/hearing this at you both guys with such a high technical level.

[@enricogasperoni]

This was amazing! Thanks for setting this up! I feel like there are a lot of lead guitar lessons out there but very few on intermediate/advanced rhythm guitar like this one..very very cool! I'd love to see more rhythm lessons if you feel like making more!

[@johnramsey2480]

This was ABSOLUTELY FUN AND INSIGHTFUL!! Lots of great musical ideas instead of widdly widdly monotony. Thank you Martin and Mark for all of this brilliant expertise.

[@sergeyavramenko9571]

Many thanks Martin and Mark! Really great stuff!

[@krudler406]

love it, great stuff thanks Martin and Mark!

[@harrym.6602]

Awesome format Mr. Miller! Enjoyed it very much!

[@glennguay8819]

Yeah yeah! More of this lesson-type stuff Martin!

[@AfterAugustine]

Martin ! Great subject matter ! Very cool to see that rhythmic evolution behind mark’s leads, especially seeing his performance with easy lover, definitely helps explain the origin and perhaps the roots from his rhythms, especially the percussive nature of his playing….. so cool, love to see more from you guys together, like fire and ice!

[@shorerocks]

That's in a nutshell what absolutely fascinates me in Marks playing. Just. Wow.

[@Chord_The_Seeker]

That was fascinating! I was glued to the screen the whole time.

[@profoundsamurai745]

These are really good keep it up. Its awesome to see someone put themselves out of there comfort zone in the name of learning for the masses.

[@gigiquinteros2912]

me haces tan feliz Martin Miller.

Thank you Martin for this. You guys are awesome.

Hi ! I just discovered your channel, and love it. Well, I love Mark, that helps 😉 Nice riff breakdown, cool talks about rhythm, and harmony. Lot to learn, lot to work, really cool. Thanks you guys, the two of you.

What a cool video - just being open to learning and improving is so great and something we should all strive for!!

Great lesson and wonderful content!

Mark is a cool dude! easygoing , modest and real mojo!!!

[@taLLdavidproduction]

Great series keep it up!

This is like watching two highly evolved people having an intelligent conversation, and you're just an ape watching them, and trying to make sense. But I can still appreciate it.

Amazing lesson

[@gopalkrishnabehera3231]

I have just started your Guide to Picking Masterclass. There is so much in rhythm. My God. Let's hope I learn the most out of it.

[@patpogoallroundguitarist5814]

Appreciate alot that you are open to other guitarists approaches at your level, and not let the ego dictate instead. Even if it's a tenth percent of someones concept you take with you in your "backpack" that's valuable. And you are probably very aware of that too Martin, otherwise you wouldn't take these lessons.

[@sixtring73]

I loved this. Some really interesting ideas to go away and practise! God knows I need it, my rhythm playing sucks!

[@reginamiller3153]

So Cool🤘Thank You

I've heard Marks name for quite awhile but hadn't checked out his playing. Tasty! really good stuff!

[@reisselpud]

Thanks a lot for this !

[@Sadowsky46]

Cool stuff boys! 👍👍👍

[@geetarsush]

cracking session/lesson/conversation between two masters - thanks for setting this up. @Mark Lettieri, Ear of the Puma should definitely make it onto a record and maybe have @Martin Miller take a guest solo :)

[@Kreativgitarrenunterricht]

Wow, thanks for this amazing and groovy lesson. Very cool. It looks a bit like a guitar shop in mark's room :-D A very impressive guitarist

[@tomer107]

love those

[@AhmedAli-jx7eh]

Great video man 😍👌🏻

[@godthunderz]

When you guys cover Purple Rain, i really gives the goosebumps 🤟🤟🤟🤟🎸

[@FiragoMusic]

I have the same chair that Mark has - now to work on the chops part....

[@laloquintanar1]

What chair is that!?

[@swamygee]

What chair/model is it?

[@markmark9639]

Haha that's awesome...I'm lucky to be on the same planet as him. Uh, what are chops?

[@vaszvasz2714]

Best ever 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼... Hats off ..... Matching guitars .👍🏼👍🏼😂 Cool stuff

[@bradylambert6820]

"Yeah. Where do you want em?"... Mark's effing dedpan response was gold. I was laughing so hard. @ 40:03

[@carlor.s.4742]

Thoroughly enjoyed every minute of this even if I had no idea what y'all were doing.

[@markmark9639]

I don't always play air guitar, but when I do, I pretend I'm Mark...

[@mark64tanner]

👍✌😎 great lesson, thankyou

[@A.P.P.]

i love this format Martin ;) thanks a lot for sharing !! i'd like see Guthrie Govan teach you something !!😍

[@gonzalocampanella3970]

Hi! I'd like to know when is "Ear of the Puma" going to come out? 🤔 Can't wait to hear it! Great videos Martin!

[@stevekirby7333]

It's all about the time. Like a drum fill or pattern. You can tell the difference between a drummer who's trying to cram some chop they learned into a space vs. someone who's listening to the clock in their head and playing to land on the one. Let the ghost notes and such fall where they fit to keep it in time.

[@Flight_Rider]

Mark please 🙏 finish ear of the puma. Love this rif. This as a full track with the session band would be awesome

[@whiskynerd6950]

Very nice Video my Friend 👍

Crazy Frets on Martin´s Guitar

[@tillustrator]

Obwohl ich keine E-Gitarre spiele, hab ich das Video einfach gefeiert! Vielen Dank für's Hochladen!! Ein sehr wertiges Video

[@KyleCastroTheDrummerBoy090613]

Pretty cool Sir!!! , 😊🥁🇵🇭

[@Chris-em4tc]

Whoa! Is that a natural colored Fiore behind Mark!? I want one like that! (If thats what it is.)

[@SansibarRacing]

That looping part at 33:13 ... man, that boogies! Thanks for the awesome lesson! Two guitar wizards come together, too cool! I'm trying to follow the theory comments, but it's hard! For ex. in the part at around 30:00 I don't see it as D/F with an added 9, why can't it be simply Fmaj7? I think Martin you even explain it as 5-1-3-7 (as in intervals). Anyway I thoroughly enjoyed the lesson! Greetings from Austria!

[@AlekseiLevin]

bEAUTIFUL SOUND) thank you❤😏👏👍

[@D7XMetalBase]

please cover Always gonna love you-Garry Moore

[@abimaelortiz2869]

Martin dude!! LOVE the frets how they're laid out, is that designed to affect the tone or simply for aesthetic purposes

[@nguquaxanguyen5224]

it's to achieve perfect tuning. guitar frets are inherently not in tune. if you tune the open strings to be perfectly in tune then certain notes along the frets won't. so they do these compensated frets to be more in tune. some people like it some don't. it just doesn't sound like the guitar timbre your ears are accustomed to. the chords ring out almost like a keyboard

[@ThomasHope73]

Great stuff! 👍 Martin appears to have lots of nervous energy. I think it would be easier to watch if he was calmer. But the contribution of both guys is much appreciated. Respect.

[@carlosclaptrix]

He doesn't need to practise with the metronome. The metronome practises with him.

[@markmark9639]

[@cbeserra]

I'd really like to hear Ear of the Puma developed into a full song! Maybe another lesson in how to take a riff idea and put it all together?

I would like to know what chair Mark is using, anyone knows? Thanks for the help.

[@peterchristianlemberg]

How did you achieve the zero delay during transmission that made you able to play together?

[@guitarelaxed]

There are several jam platforms like jamulus, jamkazam, sonobus where you can play together with a pretty low latency. I live in Germany and play almost every day with people all over the world. Playing with musicians in the U.S. works better, if they are located at the east coast. West coast or South American countries usually doesn´t work but in case of a fast fiber connection it might work.

[@straightshooter8662]

awesome guys. btw what model prs is mark playing?

[@kennethkoh9998]

PRS Fiore, his signature model

[@MDCapitanio]

This got a huge like before you started your first sentence 🙂
