Marco is one of the most underrated rock players of this generation. Thank you for transcribing this!

Underrated comment

[@tonyjonesbassoonwhippet2271]

Agreed! Amazing guitarist with a,wonderful ear for melody and dynamics🙌

[@leo_bingham]

I remember when James Labrie’s album Elements of Persuasion came out. I was actually taking private lessons with Mike Mangini at the time. Mike was over the moon w/ how his drums sounded in the mix on that album (and man do they still sound amazing on that album). But being a guitar player, I was real interested in who James had playing the leads on the album. My headspace at that time w/ guitar playing and the nature of being at Berklee was where you would expect it to be as a shred and Petrucci fan. Upon first listen I remember thinking “Pfft I could play all of those leads..” But upon each listen Marco’s greatness became clearer and clearer for me. His blend of melody and technique was like the best combination of Petrucci, Lukather, and Andy Timmons. Digesting Marco’s playing on that album will always be an integral part of my development as a musician

[@psionic6126]

same here! Amazing album!

[@MaelstromTheDemon]

The fact that he's shredding to a Scar Symmetry song makes it even better.🤘

[@happycadaver]

Per and Marco

[@breadyegg]

The fact that he does that makes it even better

[@darrelladams4886]

Lol before I even saw you comment I was thinking to myself how much it sounded like a scar symmetry song and solo lol

[@TheBfutgreg]

Scorched Quadrant off their new release

[@MaelstromTheDemon]

@@TheBfutgreg Yup! One of my favorites from the new album.

[@TheWTFMatt]

His song Andromeda is the best solo I've ever heard, Marco is truly legendary

[@miotubo839]

Bravo Marco! And bravo Levi...

[@samseitz9937]

Please more Marco videos!! He is one of the greats

[@Nasosdag]

I first found out about Marco through his take on the (now legendary) JTC Larry Carlton track. Yep, the one that Guthrie first played along. And I was like "MAN this is tasty!". So I looked up and followed his work. I think he is one of the most exciting players of recent (and current) years! He is also a competent drummer, therefore has an amazing sense of rhythm and groove and that shows in his playing.

[@matthewnelson9868]

I first heard him on the song "Drained" but I thought it was Petrucci for the longest time. I have followed his solo work ever since then. A couple of years ago he did a promotional video called "Beneath the Surface" and that is probably the best solo I have ever heard, in my opinion. It is crazy how he can make a 2 minute demonstration sound so good.

[@nelsonpennypackermusic3760]

Wow😮

[@todds79jag]

That was awesome! I’m so enjoying working on those two riffs from seconds 40 to 45 !! 🤘🏻 making my hand hurt in a good way lol

[@erickmorales8285]

That was beautiful one of the best videos here

[@rugxulo]

Very smooth, very impressive.

[@BrianClem]

Shredding is well done! And great taste in guitars. Quilted blue with roasted neck? Very nice

[@Stephen_Lafferty]

Another top-tier transcription!

[@jeffdafonte]

So good 🔥🔥🔥

[@sixtring73]

Is this one of Scar Symmetry's tracks that Per Nilsson released a while back for people to jam over? Sounds incredible, wish I was good enough to play through changes like that. Great work again Levi.

[@hummarstraful]

Cool!!!

[@RobHGuitar]

He's great, but I struggle to unhear how Per would play it

[@Returnality]

Imo Marco has the great phrasing in the metal world along with Per Nilsson.

[@atease3464]

Anybody have any pedal suggestions to get a tone similar to this?

[@sergerebois1710]

what is the key ?

[@nomanonimous.prenomanonimous]

top

[@funkdatshiz3970]

Should do some Igor Paspalj

[@JW-km3by]

Ya, that'll do.

[@reubennb2859]

this more diatonic playing is amazing but I like Sfogli best on jazz fusion records, like Alex Argento and Virgil Donati's solo albums

[@CorbCorbin]

I’d rather hear this guy doing any other genre, because even though I like his choices for the lead, it just feels like the intro to an instructional video, about how he’s going to teach one how to solo, using the techniques he just displayed. I’m going to checkout his work doing the jazz fusion, that you mentioned.

[@Rapterr15]

Well this solo is just something he did over a Scar Symmetry backing track for a solo contest Per Nilsson and Strandberg Guitars were holding. It's not one of his own composed tunes. He just released a new solo album titled Welcome to Oogly World which I highly recommend checking out. @@CorbCorbin

[@reubennb2859]

@@CorbCorbin on 'the quiet place' by virgil donati, there's a really heavy section and then it breaks down and Sfogli plays this incredibly constructed solo with a strat type sound. Also on 'vibrations', 'groovus in fabula' and 'synchronal steps'by alex argento (only on youtube) he plays some killer solos. plenty more examples too

[@khaiminlal_vaiphei]

​@@reubennb2859wait, I thought that was Andre Nieri on 'The Quiet Place'

[@reubennb2859]

@@khaiminlal_vaiphei just checked and it's definitely Marco! he plays very differently there to what I'd seen of him on youtube. He does quite a similar style of solo on Alex Argento's new track 'Flashlights'

[@GooseGumlizzard]

that was tasty

[@johnkk7863]

Really tasty wish I could play like this even 1 per cent !

[@Tashi...bhutia]

CAN U PLEASE TRANSCRIBE MARCO SFOGLI AMBIGUOUS GIFTS
