Mark Lettieri - Using Chords in Solos

[@jnh73]

#OneChordWednesday needs to be a thing. I would gladly listen to Mark play over a new chord each week.

[@tinajackel]

"..using a chord as a period at the end of the sentence..." that´s gold!! thank you soo much for sharing

[@libertarious]

The groove is strong in this one.

[@carlosclaptrix]

I really like Mark as a musician and even more as a great guy.

[@shannon1664]

"Oh yeah, and you can do this"... "Oh, yeah, you can do this too, just to add some flavor"... "And you can do this too, just to add your own individuality"... "Consider it a sentence, where you can do this."... And that, my friends, is where masters go, thinking we can follow it, at all. Thank you, Mark, for 1) sharing this, and 2) thinking we have any chance at all of keeping up. You're awesome, sir.

[@CNCTEMATIC]

You just keep playing Mark. I'll pretend I know what you're talking about.

[@Anonymous.android]

This made me lol 😂

[@vuha5000]

Just thought about the same...what are those freakin chords haha

[@synapsisband]

I agree with you 😂😂😂

[@inovafani]

😂😂😂😂😂

[@bradlucid]

how are ALL guitarist so chill and to-the-point... If this was a keyboard video, it would be an hour of the philosophy of keyboard chords before I learn anything 😂😂

[@dlein93]

Mark has quickly become one of my favorite players working today. Been working on his solo in the middle verse of "Chonks" the last few days, I think I now have permanent stank-face

[@AZFunk]

Always mindblowing....and stylish.

[@FenderBender454]

What an excellent teaching style. Thanks for sharing, Mark!

[@stevew1886]

Stunned. I mean, this is some of the sweetest playing I've seen.

[@williamhawkins69]

Such joy in this man and his playing

[@ericking8402]

Great personality, great playing

[@BeastMadeReviews]

We do need more sweaters, Mark. 😁

[@MichaelRoxalot]

BeastMade Reviews Why would you say something so controversial, yet so brave?

[@MRxr400]

Ok, you make it look easy. Your feel is pretty amazing, that’s what everyone should be aiming for

[@binface9]

We need to make One Chord Wednesday a thing. #onechordwednesday

[@doordashh]

this man grooves so strong. soo good

[@vansong1]

I always dig Mark's grooves, his lines and phrasing are off the chart.

[@michele673]

Mark this a video I've been waiting for! Also, whoever mixed the guitar in this video is a genius

[@neildavidvandenbergh5422]

He has definitely become one of my favorite players on the planet! Such tasteful playing, and he seems like such a nice Dude, too. He' pretty funny too. Thanks for the lesson Y'all! 🙌

[@mrxsg]

Mark is such a brilliant teacher!

[@danieltripainao4324]

something very simple that sound very nice. Thanks

[@cjbuk74]

Jeez... what a player...

[@_RLP]

Loved this. Great concept. Would definitely tune in every Wednesday for something like this. I've always been more into chord work than conventional lead. Cheers

[@michaelhines4600]

Me too. I came up hearing organ and keyboard players applying all kinds of chords. I love the lead part but to me the notes start sounding the same to me with conventional lead

[@bradlucid]

the best introduction! how could a guitarist skip a video that starts with "there's not enough sweaters in guitar videos now days" 🤣🤣

[@SamBellGuitar]

He's the man!

[@gilbertrockstv8557]

As an elementary ed. music teacher, it's just great to see some people that have practiced their craft for hours on end just because they love it. Trying really hard to convey to the kids that the journey is the most gratifying part. Keep on ripping Mark. I will rock my sweater and guitar later today for you my friend. ha

[@LightmasterChampion]

Wow, enjoying the journey is a pretty enlightened priority, Sir. Those kids are lucky to have you.

[@gilbertrockstv8557]

@@LightmasterChampion Thank you my friend. Blood, sweat, and tears leads to passion and that is a gift to anyone. Music is a lifelong journey and it's so much fun. Just trying to show that to the kiddos everyday I step into the classroom. Keep on creating my friend. :)

You’re a friggin legend Mark, thankyou

[@ibrahimalhussain5676]

This is the most entertaining lesson I’ve watch since I learns guitar , 10 years ago lol.. he liked that solo he played 😂😂😂... Goals man

[@miketerakureymond300]

Too good! Too GOOD!

[@harvchops3648]

“These fourths are really fun....” said no drummer ever 🤣

[@baldbearded9601]

I'd pay to have chords lessons from him.. mixed with his playing style, it's so inspiring! Does Mark have any courses or lessons like this elsewhere online ?

[@devin5550]

I think hes got a bunch on soundslice

[@fernandomorales7489]

He collaborated on a neo soul guitar book recently. I only bought it because it has his name on it. It's a great place to start

[@Zaninnii]

I'm pretty sure you can still check out his website and get skype lessons from him. I got a chance to learn from him for four days at a summer camp last year and he's really a super nice cool dude. The lessons are definitely worth it!

[@IvanArdillo]

Check his website, he has an entire course

[@bryandabreau5255]

Fernando Morales whats the name of the book man? I need that in my rotation of stuff I work on!

[@willydeangelis699]

Keep this vids coming! Theyre fantastic and very helpful and instructional! Thanks so much

[@elrafa782]

Awesome

[@tomduckworth8335]

I wish I could give this more thumbs up. I would love to see an hour long video on this topic.

[@vincentmenigaux]

This man is luminous.

[@vintagestrings6]

I'm glad I clicked on the link, real nice ideas and playing. Lately I've been researching and thinking about getting the voicelive play 3 Extreme, I do have the earlier white unit. I'm still on the fence because I was hoping maybe they'd be coming out with a newer version voicelive soon and reading some negative reviews of it being not reliable. I emailed TC electronic and waiting for them to get back to me in the next couple of days for some questions on it.

[@hinnelein1]

Amazing!!

[@marksystemed4678]

Hello Mark, could you tell me what guitar you are playing? Sound really nice. Thanks for the lesson, great as usual.

[@jordanlake471]

Mike Campbell used chords and triads in many solos. Octave chords in American Girl. And Listen to Her Heart is all chord based

[@inovafani]

This is so snarky puppy!! Haha

[@psubba17]

How does one become so well versed in music theory/knowledge that he/she can name each scale/mode and each degree of it in respect to chords.... i need to know.

[@Calymos]

Practice. Music theory is like math, you just gotta do it. musictheory.net and teoria.org are great places to start, from there it's best to take songs you love and slowly work on transcribing them to figure out what they're doing and why you like it.

[@rafetizer]

The easiest way is to go to school for it, or take lessons from a qualified instructor. And also stay motivated. (the hard part)

[@psubba17]

Thank you guys!

[@ferramirez4570]

Calymos Teoria.org is not working, or is it misspelled?

It is doable. I learned music theory from the "World Book Encyclopedia" ... In 1968 I just had to know and looked up music in the book... The info is everywhere, and really... it's not that hard to grasp once you start practicing it. I know you could do it.. I trust you.

[@jeremyrodriguez9828]

All I hear him is "periodt!" 😭😭🤣🤣

Great stuff Mark!! What is that Strat? Looks and sounds awesome!!! Thx -M

[@kimhansen6384]

From a little one man shop in Fynen, Denmark: hansen-guitars.com/. They are around the $3800 mark, but forreigners can save a little by buying them without danish VAT (25%), and paying local VAT at import.

[@tipplers3417]

[@johnconnor5950]

WHAT IS THAT TELE SHAPED LES PAUL ON THE COUCH?!? MUST HAVE!!

[@Kazshmir]

Tele shaped Les Paul? It's a T-style guitar with humbuckers, but that's probably what you wanted to say. I'm guessing it's another Hansen guitar (Danish luthier). Check my reply to "Mr. T" in these comments for a bit more info.

[@johnconnor5950]

Laus Bigum no, I meant what I said. It’s got a carved to, hunbuckers, and even the LP style pickup switch.

[@stankers4952]

Uhm... This is golden.

[@jazz7581]

By '4ths' does he mean suspended chords?

[@Kazshmir]

He means stacked fourth intervals aka 'stacked fourths', or just 'fourths'. E.g. C-F-Bb is three fourth intervals "stacked". Another example: E-A-D It's used a lot in jazz-inspired music.

[@jazz7581]

@@Kazshmir so basically sus4 chords.

[@Kazshmir]

@@jazz7581 A sus4 chord (as I've been taught at least, YMMV) refers to root, perfect fourth, and perfect fifth. A stacked fourth is root, perfect fourth, and minor seventh. So in my mind there's a discrepancy, and you should therefore distinguish between sus4 and stacked fourths.

[@jazz7581]

@@Kazshmir I think an inversion of the sus4 chord is a quartal with stacked 4ths no?

[@Kazshmir]

@@jazz7581 in that case I (again this is probably more about style/preference - and also context) would not call that a sus4 if it doesn't contain a major second interval. It's that major second interval from perfect fourth to perfect fifth that makes it a suspended chord. It seems you have a pretty good grasp of the theory though, so I'm wondering why you asked the question in the first place.

[@camhaines5482]

Is he making chords from the notes in the Am scale? I think I need more lessons.

[@rafetizer]

Maybe some from dorian as well, since he mentioned that for his chord runs.

[@terrymiller111]

His practice jams sound better than 90% of the current Billboard 100.
