Mark Lettieri - Goonsquad (Spark and Echo)

[@joegriffithsmusic]

RIP Shaun, I remember seeing you play live with mark and the rest of the band, one of the best shows I've been to

[@lazymoon2392]

Transcribing Mark Lettieri songs might be one of the wisest things a guitar player can do in 21th century. The iq the groove the time and execution. This guy is the guy i wanna be one day.

[@fivefingerfullprice3403]

This is my favorite guitar solo of anything ever I think.

[@djurt02]

Sometimes you’re lucky to find music like this on YT. Sounds great!

[@dougrmoe]

Mark is becoming one of my favorite players period. Technically a monster with full command of what ever he wants but a creative genius makes him a stand out to me! Inspiring!

[@caprianders]

I love that sudden switch from Funk to Fusion at the 1 minute mark!

[@flasheaux]

Got tickets for his Nov. 15 show at HISTORY in Toronto, with Cory Wong. Should be an epic night.

[@pcatania1]

Unbelievable fantastic funky tones! You guys are amazing to watch and listen to……..from a 50year old guitar player! Cheers!!

[@fivefingerfullprice3403]

I can't believe I'm just finding this. It's amazing!! Great work!!

[@TheloniusJ]

I always love Mark's stuff, but in this video I can't stop focusing on Wes' groove. SO TIGHT!

[@charlescoe5315]

Just discovered The Funky Knuckles. You be right about Wes...

[@danielibarra0796]

The man does a great job with his bass guitar.

[@jordanngriffith4962]

Incredible.. So melodic.. I love all his music.

[@Jenaclap]

Amazing musical job! Steely Dan is floating on the ambient...and already since the last century...Greetings from Cantabria, northen Spain!

[@chriswenkle2635]

All of you just nail it every time, but Wes and JT absolutely KILL it in the groove department. Being a bass player, when I grow up (I'm 70) I want to be just like Wes.

[@krimisim]

I love the way this is edited.

[@fortadelis]

I'm kind of speechless. Wow. Now I'm going to replay it on a big speakers.

[@jeromedje5394]

The sound is just amazing

[@jeromedje5394]

Woo so phenomenally funky, what a groove… Pfwooooo

[@danielbatail9095]

Une musique à la fois moderne et intemporelle.Fusion entre Jazz et recherche.Les superbes sons de guitares sont vraiment mis en valeur par une section rythmique précise et parfaite, le clavier subtil servant de liant à l'ensemble. Un vrai plaisir musical .

[@mattsnyder1325]

Can't give this enough thumbs up!

[@jleb310ce]

Mark's run at the 3:04 - 3:06 mark is so fresh! Love that phrasing.

[@bergie450]

Amazing guitar tone as always in every session of this series. Just perfect

[@sunnys3325]

That bass line man....soook jammin!!

[@Yonatan-q5m]

Oh the beuty.... fabulous!!

[@amo757]

Wow! Where has this album been all my life?

[@ZacharyDial]

Good lord that bass tone 🤯🤯🤯

[@TheHallsofMusic]

This is so tasteful - groovy - awesome. I'm a guitarist and am just discovering mark. I'm doing my prayer, meditation time in the morning with his music going. I couldn't not listen to it again after hearing it for the first time yesterday!

[@loupdesbois2160]

l un des plus grand guitariste au monde !!! . 👍👍👍🙏🙋🇨🇵

[@burnsanchez]

So this guy can't even make a bad note or slightly hit the wrong note throughout the whole song. Wow just wow! So clean and melodic. Omg!!!

[@mjlettieri]

Thanks Bern. There are some wrong ones, you just have to know where they are! :)

[@sonkeh7362]

@@mjlettieri there are no wrong notes, its funk after all!

[@Ben-ji1se]

And Action Bronson rocking the bass! I love it

[@abuventertainment2856]

Very few people listening to this will know who he is lmao... but he does kinda look like him

[@LeMans512]

Everything sounds so good.

[@masterwong3837]

OMG! Thank you for your Music, Big Guy! I'm so thankful for your inspiration and your Geniuos! It's such a pleasure to see and hear this. Gamechangingly beautiful!!! Looove it!!!

[@Nedwin]

Goosebumps attacks at 2.02. Awesome music here

[@karlcampbell3662]

Love Will Sasso on the bass..lol great song guys,really nice job.

[@thelukester999]

Why have i just discovered this guy now. His style and tone are so damn unique.

[@AlexRomagnoli_gtr]

Great music, wonderful arrangement and awesome tone, man!

[@brenlouissurio2404]

I love how you run that fretboard. Movement is minimum and efficient.

[@CarlosSatriani]

Amazing musician

[@JerryT21]

I'm diggin' this big time!!!

[@danielvillalbarios3448]

Just saw your interview with DOBLE BOBINA guys and what can I say man... great interview and now you have a new fan, thanks!!!

[@YaoEspirito]

Sounds like Tribal Tech, in other words: bloody brilliant!

[@rocklegend3335]

Stop! Great! Wow! Wat a Feeling !

[@andrewsexton6179]

Discovered this band in Japan it was blaring in a lemonade shop. I had to ask the guy who it was and I am a new fan

[@brunocarvalho6329]

Great tone, great ideias... Just great!

[@tonyleeglenn]

Epic. Love this guys. Outstanding.

[@laminenaouri7479]

I dont know why but it reminds me my cat RIP Sultan

[@solidsender69]

I love the name , Rest in peace , beautiful sultan !

[@mjlettieri]

Sorry for your loss, Lamaine. I wrote it for my cats, actually. I'm sure Sultan is rocking in Kitty Heaven!

[@adamvesely7550]

This is actually very interesting. For example the music from "Polar Express" reminds me of seeing California from plane. Any song can remind anyone of anything else.

[@Kindacutehuh]

it´s because it swings!

[@californiagcs8473]

You can't teach or learn the touch.....it's not in the dot's, its in the interpretation the heart and the soul that travels to the touch on the fretboard, put this together with great composition skills and there you have it....Mark Lettieri...

[@MindsEyeMuseGuitar]

Very tasty guitar tone, nice and warm with a lot of room for subtlety

[@50Something]

This makes me wonder how I'll ever go about navigating the fretboard like this. It's not only technique, it's knowledge, talent, vision, touch, note selection, knowing when not to play, and finally this guy has great tone too!

[@TheRealCowlick]

Learn AC/DC songs

[@rdlubi]

Gotta study scales vertically and horizontally. By horizontally I mean to study the scales like if you just had one string available. Do it string by string.

[@valebliz]

@@rdlubi yeah I wish that was it…

[@chrisjames5865]

Well said 50Something! Besides everything you said I believe his seemingly effortless navigation of the fretboard mostly come with his experience and holding a guitar while he's awake more than he does anything else. To me, it's like how effortless Dave Weckl seems behind the drums. And obviously they aren't the only ones but they are by far 2 of the very best at their craft. Sometimes it appears they aren't even really trying lol. Jk... The amount of hours they've put in (experience) just playing everyday and probably some days from sun up to sun down. If they had an idea and were to tell how often and how many hours they've put in during their lifetime, it would probably blow our minds.😉

[@rdlubi]

@@valebliz I think I expressed myself in a simplistic way. I agree it's not the only thing to do. But this exercise I mentioned helped me a lot. I started doing it after reading a Mick Goodrick book. Unfortunately I don't remember the name of this book.

[@germanemigrant5844]

amazing to see wes playing with you, have followed funky knuckles and snarky for a while and awesome to see this (sort of) collab!

[@andre3444]

Yes!!!!! Mark is da man!!! Very tasteful and the dude has got chops and serious rhythm//I'll bet he walks with a groove

[@mjlettieri]

Thank you very much, sir!

[@U-mann]

After listening to this, buying the album was an absolute no-brainer. As a player, the musicianship and compositions are what I aspire to achieve. This is just TOO GOOD!

[@mjlettieri]

Thanks so much man!

[@stanleeikki]

Really liked that one.

[@lginc3290]
