Dude the names on Mark’s new album...Steve Lukather, Nate Smith, Shaun Martin, Jacob Collier...just incredible, and every song grooves harder than the next one.

[@sandenson]

Mark is my latest addition to my guitar heroes list. He's so good, and so versatile, so it's been a treat to listen to the music that he plays. It's nice to see him here.

[@Lectric_Blue]

Well done Tyler, you passed the 'How To Be A Great Interviewer' test. You listened and you didn't interrupt your guest. 👍 So many others try to make the interview about themselves and butt in at every opportunity, and that's so annoying. That was very good, I enjoyed it.

[@ssravp]

Great interview. I think more players need to take Mark’s words to heart that “you’re probably too loud.” 😀

[@markarolee]

With a pocket that deep, Mark's gotta be a guitar hero!

[@emilandresen7577]

Or, y'know, a thief

[@joegriffithsmusic]

Definitely one of my favourite guitar players, mark's an awesome guitarist

[@danonthestrings]

Man the riff from Magnetar is literally one of my all time favourite riffs of any genre

[@halohat2286]

Snarky Puppy !!! Yes !!!

[@DorothyOzmaLover]

Love this look into to a specialized type of guitar performance that is enlightening to me as a guitarist since Mark gives useful insights into creating parts and arrangements that fit into the overall music and he's so skilled at playing melodically with passion and intriguing rhythms that give such a rush to the senses or stirs one's emotions in varying ways. Amazing.

[@karmatv4975]

i love this Show! this doesn't fell like an interview but more like a living room Chat and i love it.

[@viniciusmarcilio3194]

Good taste in music, good taste in beers. Mark has it all!

[@SolarWarden88]

Conspiracy theory here... haven't listened to the full interview, but his "current favorite amp, he's not allowed to tell us about," is a prototype PRS MT100 that Mark T. & Paul, for some inexplicable reason, want kept on the extreme down-low, for which there are virtually no new details since 2019 lol.... Just a guess ;p

[@MichaelGrecoGuitar]

Awesome interview. both the baritone sessions album are so dope! Spark and Echo is another favorite

[@natanielruiz818]

Two great guys talking about very interesting things. Thank you!

[@HordorMorr]

Mark!!!!!

[@jamessargent6594]

Would be pretty nice if we could have Buckethead on here, probably won’t happen but it would be neat

[@mason3872]

We had Steve Vai on here, is buckethead that much of a stretch? I wouldn’t be surprised if we got Tony Iommi on here.

[@JC-11111]

@@mason3872 Bucket is way more private than Steve or Tony or pretty much anyone else. It's wayyyy less likely, IMO. And 99% chance it'd be Buckethead and not Brian. So there's no telling how serious the interview would be. Bucket doesn't do many interviews.

[@jowesh732]

Or Tom Morello or even Someone like Slash

[@Zwellop]

Does buckethead speak?

[@jamessargent6594]

@@Zwellop I heard him talk once in an interview

[@budgetguitarist]

If you don't know Mark, check out the Fearless Flyers, and then his two Baritone Sessions albums. Killer guitar playing, great stuff. Mark Lettieri seems like such a nice guy. I love his interviews (and his work.)

[@AlexMerlinoMusic]

Mark funks! 🤘

Happy Birthday Tyler!!

[@pierreg8827]

Please, oh pretty please, get Mick Gordon here. He's the exact definition of a Guitar Villain, and an composition chad-brain

[@Nanchi]

So when is their gonna be a Tyler larson exclusive prs model?

[@JC-11111]

Buckethead baritone > * Hey Tyler! You have GOT to get Big B on here, brother! Seriously!

[@SolarWarden88]

seriously, Bucket would be killer. Wonder if we'd get Brian or Bucket? ;p

[@JC-11111]

@@SolarWarden88 99% chance it'd be Bucket. Brian is a very, very private person, it seems. I'm sure he'd talk seriously about playing but it'd be in full Buckethead gear. The only other thing I could see is if they just did a recorded phone call and Tyler used a still photo for B.

[@SolarWarden88]

@@JC-11111 yeah for sure, can always hope though haha. I'd be curious to know how Tyler would conduct the interview if Buck was in full-on Bucket-mode persona lol.

[@bleromafia]

He is my favorite man he is groovy as hell

[@BagsyBones]

LOVE the show man! Keep up the good work. Also would love to see Adam Jones in the future if possible

[@TheFeelButton]

Baritone to the Bone! Cheers Tyler and Mark!!

[@hughganis3886]

I hope this comes back soon. I would love to see Jerry Cantrell on the podcast

[@elmariachi451]

I have to agree with the too loud sentiment. I've played with others thinking they need to turn down only to realize I'm already overbearingly too loud. lol

[@littletinybicycles]

This was wonderful and I love you both

[@jonathonmain9157]

12:16 - CC spelled it “Phil Keegee”, did he mean “Phil Keaggy”? He’s one of my favorite guitar players ever! In my opinion, he is someone you could label a virtuoso, and he doesn’t even have all his fingers!

[@i_can_shuv2601]

This is cool

[@Marksmusic191]

Marc’s a dude. Love his playing, perfect balance between technical and melodic. Would love to see Guthrie on here.

[@jowesh732]

When I first started playing guitar in a band I used to always feel I'm too loud so I would turn down the volume knob so that no one hears my mistakes or the string noises that comes from the instrument

[@mitchellratcliff4090]

You should get Manuel Gardner-Fernandez on

[@SavingShredz]

Is that intro music inspired by Runescape?

[@BenIrvine11]

You should bring this back and do it with Guthrie Govan

[@john.lakeman]

I want to see Martin Miller on this

[@viniciusmarcilio3194]

Hey Tyler. Cool podcast. Here's an idea for improvement: Maybe you can share images with the guest in real time? For example, Mark had no idea who Dr Doom was, it would be cool to see his reaction if you had shown him some images. Zoom, skype, face time, they all have features that allow this ;-)

[@maxima9925]

I'm gonna build you a guitar here real soon. I'm gathering supplies. I'll keep updating on the comments of your videos.

[@MrSimhacker]

Type of Wood used for Guitar Bodies :::: I would say just as a reed and different wind instruments have different sounds such as a bamboo flute in china, surely the type of wood makes a difference, and it just is about which one talks to your creativity if your talent can work something out of what you are playing.

[@Tuminyu]

[@antonbubberman9774]

Mmm.. Ok maybe I’m too loud, let’s turn up the others a bit. Yep better *steps on another boost pedal*

[@Nomanspie]

Dude. If you want to talk more about Baritone guitars get "The Bunn" on for an interview. He's the MVP of the Baritone guitar world and his playing style is very different to what you would usually feature.

[@aidenewing34]
