Stone In Love Cover Using AxeFx 2 Mark Day

[@garethwood5588]

My favourite Journey track and you did a great job of it. Nice work

[@fatherof3kidz]

Like an added treat to run across these older videos. You make it look so easy. I probably look like I'm having a seizure when I play so why I don't post videos. Appreciate all your work Mark. Mark

[@samhillband]

Thanks again Mark!

[@turkt2249]

I like the way Mark you say, "the guitar plays like a million bucks", but it's really the guy behind it that is making it sound so great. Please keep the vids coming. Greetings from Cornwall!

[@gabedraper7594]

super nice bendings..!!! and neat work..!!

[@michaelphickey]

Mark, awesome job! The solos throughout this song are pure gold!

[@samhillband]

Thanks Michael!

[@DaveyPOfficial]

[@cat793c2008]

Watched many of your videos Mark. Really great stuff. Sweet playing and love the facial expressions. You really look like your having fun while your blasting through those songs.

[@samhillband]

This is an old one lol, thanks !!!

[@Scritley]

One of the all time great guitar solos... very underrated as is its creator. You did an amazing job playing it! Thanks for sharing!

[@nathanpickett202]

I bought my AxeFx IIXL and a Blacktop Fender Strat with EMG SL20's 7 years ago because of this video. The strat is still my primary guitar and the AxeFx is still what I gig live with. The two best gear purchases I have ever made.

[@hankt2792]

What a great song, you played it beautifully. Thank you for giving us the privilege of watching you play on your videos.

[@dougwallen3814]

Perfect. Perfect. Tio a tee. Amazing on point technically and feel, bravo Mark bravo

[@rictube11]

Ahhhhh-mazing. Incredibly great job recreating an awesome piece of music from Neal and the band. You hit all the nuances that make this a soulful and memorable solo. That guitar looks and sounds terrific. Wonderful what a little creativity and tlc will do.

[@jaseman32]

One of the most epic guitar solos ever!

[@BCBell]

Great job! That Strat is absolutely gorgeous!

[@vexxan]

Just amazing Mark, what else is there to say.

[@guitvai2]

Mark - sounds awesome and great playing - the solo was bang on and really captured the Neal Schon feel.

[@arrosconpollo1]

Outstanding cover. I really appreciate your posts. Great job, a real joy to watch!

[@rictube11]

Love Love Love it!!! You are a treasure Mark. Thanks for all your great demo's and playing. You do it all great justice.

[@coffinshaker]

Bad ass tone - awesome solos - best cover of this I've seen

[@WD-TV]

What a freaking clean performance!!!!! Dude, you rock!!!! Awesome!

[@siskokidd]

That was excellent! Love the ending. I like how you "essence" N.S's solos. All the fun bendies, none of the excess notes.

[@JasonSpevak]

I absolutely love this. Especially that you played it half step down. It sounds so much better. The backing track is well done too. Great job.

[@OnfloorAudio]

Your a great player with some killer chops , and your videos are alway Spot on !!

[@murphyr31]

Well done ….. I’ve always wanted to be able to play all my favorites but alas I’ve never been able to make even the most basic of good sound. I live vicariously through folks like you.

[@byeh1]

sweet playing and killer tone. love all your cover song choices. feels like another bro who also learned guitar listening to the same bands growing up in the 80s. always look forward to your videos, keep it up!

[@SirThomasHawk]

Great job, Mark! One of my favorite Journey tunes/Neal Schon solos.

[@arrosconpollo1]

Hi Mark! Serial watcher of your posts. I thoroughly enjoy them. The epic tone you achieved with this Mexican Strat is insane! Your Gibson is awesome but the “Turn up the Radio” post and “Stone in Love” songs on this Strat are legendary awesome!! Take very good care

[@MesaGuitarGuy]

great job, Mark! Was great to hear you at Axe Fest West last week

[@goggypluurbo3084]

marks playing, great....marks sound,awesome.,....marks gear, enviable to most, marks facial expressions, priceless !!!!

[@lifeson46]

Awesome best cover I have heard

[@ngdguitar5081]

Awesome - great tone and great playing!!

[@sparky7718]

That was outstanding !

[@JimHTM]

Leapin Lizards Batman !! Absolutely incredible !

[@ronmounts8075]

Dyyyyyam Awesome Brother!!!!! Been trying to learn this for a long time!!!!! Appreciate it Buddy!!!!

[@ZEUS5150]

Wow! That was killer! Thanks for sharing!

[@Chord_The_Seeker]

I love your covers Mark. You always achieve killer tone, and your bends and vibrato are beautiful. You inspire me to keep at the guitar practice.

[@superunkwn]

r u 4 realz Yngwie omg

[@Chord_The_Seeker]

Lol, if you think this is the real Yngwie Malmsteen, I'll send you a video of me playing guitar, which will sadly disappoint you.

[@1970borntorun]

I was never a fan of the Line 6 modeling amps, but that Fractal sounds as close as possible to a tube amp! The versatility of those is truly amazing. Great playing by the way! :)

[@JasonSpevak]

I absolutely love this song so much more a half step down like it is. Sounds so much better

[@TonyCugs]

Wow, that was great Mark!

[@seanpage4385]

Luv it, as well as the rest of your stuff!

[@samhillband]

Thanks for all the kind comments folks, very much appreciated.

[@bgibson70]

A lot of people don't know how to set up a good delay effect! But Mark I notice your delay is always perfect!

[@racerxf12004]

wow! this is awesome!

[@alphadog62]

Great Job, nice to see a video from you!

[@snocarver]

RESPECT!!

[@bgibson70]

The tone Rocks! Nice guitar

[@guitarworldja9794]

great job as always ,,,,,

[@DSTaylor69]

Wish you upload that backing track for the rest of us journey fans. Lol. Awesome playing as always

[@mesamark3]

As always, killer tone!! I was playing a MIM blacktop strat the other day in the GC in my area. Nice guitar right off the wall, with some upgrades it would be a beast I'm sure. Now your vid has me thinking to go back and grab it!

[@thispersonistheworst6233]

Great Cover Man Best So far.

[@markmercado9048]

Freaking great job!!!

[@johnlong9655]

can you guys play starships song "find your way back?". that be really cool.

[@SixStringHarmonies]

I love the progression under that solo. It's an amazing piece. Well done! That Strat is a good deal. These days, I think MIM's the way to go. Find a MIM Fender with a great neck, and slowly upgrade piece by piece. Go from the tuners to the cavity shielding, to the jack, and everything in between. Finally, have a pro set it up, and you've got a keeper to pass on to your kin. The ability to make periodic investments in upgrades really allows budget flexibility, and time to see what's available.

[@generalarmamentcompany]

Really nice job!!

[@ncboy65]

very nicely done. I'm a guitarist who wants to get started with pro tools. What would you suggest for me to purchase. I want to put down tracks and solo behind them and I want to record with laptop. I have a pc laptop not mac. Thank you so much

[@ultimatum120]

Hey man awesome job specially the outro solo !

[@riansettles2506]

Nice work man.Sounds great.

[@unchained_0177]

[@raysoriv]

[@stevehoward210]

Awesome job!

[@doncampbell9444]

You are fantastic....

[@joesatch899]

who are the 3 trolls that voted this down?Mark Day is a master at guitar and sound who generously donates his time to post these helpful videos!so RCD

[@nedocaster]

Hey, nice playing Mark. Did anything need to be modified to put the Schaller floyed on your Blacktop Strat?

[@jeffmruth]

Hey great video Mark. Nice guitar as well. Question for you, I noticed at the end you talked about putting a Kahler Tremolo on your guitar, have you ever considered putting one on your Gibson LP Stand. Plus? Was wondering if it was possible without tearing up the guitar. Thx.

[@markmusicman]

Nice sound man!

[@fabioak78]

Nice guitar! Nice sound!!

[@samhillband]

If anyone is interested in a guitar lesson of two for this solo and others via Skype or Facetime let me know by pm. Mark

[@MATTNMISSY]

Awesome Work Brother!!

[@davidharrelson8503]

Fantastic,

[@mivec25]

Awesome man!

[@victimsofthefury]

Love that lick at 4:14. Very cool!

[@briansefring4981]

Great cover!

[@maxstatic]

always a tasty tone man!

[@mkferrari1963]

Mark....awesome. My band is about to embark on this song....I was wondering if the patch you are using on the AXE-FX II is built in or did you build it your self...always looking for that perfect sound for my covers using my AXE-FX....thanks and keep on rockin!!

[@richardleisawesome]

Amazing tone man!

[@nicolamanzi]

Welcome back on the YT scenes pal ! What can I say ? You got a Monster Tone ! Hey Mark Could You share the patch you used to perform " Journey - separate ways " on AxeChange ? I would appreciate it so much. All the best .

[@rkfergie3271]

Sweet tone!

[@samhillband]

yes it's on the Axechange. Marks Stone Love

[@jallenb1977]

great song

[@johnboy10]

Hi Mark, Do you now why presets from Axe Fx II XL + cannot be loaded into Axe FX II Thanx

[@TheExtremsteR]

your amazing man

[@pianoman1015]

excellent job Mark! Jon Wheeler Keys MN

[@adam872]

Great song, great playing and fabulous tone. Is this the Axe-FX II? If so, it's one great piece of kit.

[@samhillband]

I actually said Schaller, it's a German Floyd Rose. I would never do that to my Les Paul. I do have an Indie Les Paul with a Gotoh Floyd on it. I'd love to get a Gibson Access LP, but can't afford that right now :)

[@rockabilly12]

really good.

[@wpaone]

Re-dunk-u-lous tone! Is that a custom preset? On the exchange?

[@loveguitars]

Excellent

[@Shadowsreach1]

killer!

[@GuitaristPAX]

Great fokken playing Brother .. there were moments when you sounded a little like Meniketti too .. along with Neal .. and a little Gary Moore~ish! ✌️

[@samhillband]

Thanks for the kind words!

[@coffinshaker]

Yes, how do I get hold of you?

[@TheExtremsteR]

your sound is so BIg , can you give some tipe how you use reverb and delay for rythem and solos?

[@petebull8233]

My first visit to your tube Mark..I seee you have some shady characters on Backing track lol

[@MrShane5150]

What is the bridge p/u? MCP Hothead?

[@gregoryvanhalen]

Great job

[@KAMIKAZEKITTIES]

Dude did Neal Shon himself teach you to play? That was amazing!

[@mikeb7083]

Just wondering if you are in standard tuning? Well done and thanks.

[@samhillband]

No. I'm a half step down in this video.

[@ebpinto68]

yeah !!!!!!!

[@watchtheskies]

Mark you hands down get the best out of the Axe FX II here on youtube, most of the videos from others with the Axe FX II are your typical scooped modern metal sound which is not really my cup of tea and leaves me wondering if I really want to buy one of these things, and then whammo! here's Mark ripping out Queesryche, Leppard and Journey riffs and I'm reaching for my credit card!

[@peteyboy54]

very very nice
