  • amazing technique. Lacks creativity in my oppinion

  • Sensational playing. That neck looks like the most playable I've ever seen. I assume this is an expensive instrument?

  • i think we have the same watch!!!

  • What's your tuning? What gauge strings are you using as well?

  • Conklin Guitars are awesome!

  • Nice man! 

  • by the way im confused about your guitar

    its a 7 string but the 4th string does not appear to be wound?

  • @ImaDjentleman

    I think he tunes to high a, so BEADGBEA

  • @WoWintosh EADGBEA in this case as this is a 7 string, and BEADGBEA when he uses 8s. just guessing

  • I have no idea what ClivePounds is talking about.

    This is the most beautiful thing i have ever heard.

  • What brand of guitar are u playing here,? Cant really read it on the head.

  • awesome

  • He you should make a instructional video with tabs of the fusion legatos I will buy it right away!

  • Your technique is perfect! How long have you been playing? Wish there was some phrasing in this and I know you can.

  • What tuning? and gauge?

  • What tuning? and guage?

  • if i have a lot of questions to Marshall Harrison, how can i reach him? i would even pay money for that. don`t want necessarily lessons (dont have webcam or so) but if this is the only possibilty, okay then. please let me know Mr. Harrison.

  • @tjchep Who are you referring to here?

  • Is that the 22'' scale conklin?

  • Nice Marshall, what's the raduis on that guitar ? 20"? It looks super flat

  • You perform one of the most tasty shreding-solos I have ever heard here. I really like the Moto Perpetuo aproach and the way you let the fast passages "breath" and manage not to fall inte the trap that many shreders have been caught in: Playing 16th triplets in 1 minute constantly without any variation in speed or dynamics.

  • your finger shakes alot while playing but do you use hybrid picking or is it just your finger shaking i just started hybrid picking and if you are using that technique dam your clean with it i can do it but i just get random background noise everynow and then its annoying lol

  • kickass playing!

    conklin guitars rules!

  • sweet.. like it...

  • Very experienced and skillful. Professional playing!

  • i really like 1:05 tho..and some other more creative parts!

  • so....

    ever consider playing 2 song's at once? i really think you could pull it off

    gotta say. if i was technically at his level....i wouldn't play anything like him!

    whatever floats your boat tho

  • marshall your playing is absolutely incredible

  • I don't know if he is using hybrid picking, economy picking, or a combination of the two, but the fluidity of those passages is breathtaking. Beautifully rounded tone and great sense of dimension. Lots of fun!

  • whos immature?

  • Kjutte1

  • why?

  • those conklins are amazing

  • @tjchep Fuck you ;)

  • You seem to use entirely wrist for your picking technique. Did you build up speed while consciously paying attention to this while you were younger?

  • He probably did since that is the "best" method of picking.

  • Its possible he may not agree but  to be hes sound like vinnie moore

  • Beautiful shredding!!

    Is that your own jam track or can I download it somewhere?

    Thanks

  • For me you are one the best guitarist I ever saw.

    I wish you all the best.

    Denis

  • I love this Conklin guitar!!

  • nice shit !! have checked out harrison marshall's shred ideas and is totally crazy !! tell me how can i get his instructional DVD? on his jazz legato ideas?

  • does that guitar have a zero fret?? i always wondered why the use those

  • It's for intonation reasons I believe, but I'm not quite sure, you should check out Conklin's website, they should have some more information on it :)

  • havnt red any official luthier reasons for a zero fret, but i think a) to make the open string sound/feel fuller like all the other frets b) you can get the lowest possible action c)you dont have to worry about nutwear

    intonation wouldnt be any different, infact it would be less accurate (cause of the zero fret shape compared to the crisp non-contour edge of the nut) but its miniscule compared to a regular nut, and it doesnt matter anyway; intonation really does only come from the hands

  • lower action, ur strings cant fret out this way

  • C.C. Deville knows Marshall Harrison? There is no way!

  • Yeah, I played for CC at the Peavey Booth (NAMM '99) (James Kottak then of Black Sheep now from Scorpions was a peavey endorser). Black Sheep did a few songs. I missed playing for Eddie Van Halen by like 5 minutes, btw.

    The I kept running into CC around LA like at Eric's Guitar Repairs and House of BLues etc....

    Even weirder was the time I hung out with Lemmy Kilmister of Motorhead at their rehearsal space, we discussed WWII while he played pinball.

  • Your playing abilities were undoubtedly mindboggling to someone like him.

    Was he always asking "How do you do those licks?"

  • @RozarSmacco Lemmy is the coolest guy in earth, by the way what amp do you use? Do you recommend MI to study?

  • Its instantly recogniseable as such however - creating the "sheets of sound" we hear from players like Marshal, or Shawn Lane, or Rusty are miles ahead of the "playing quickly because I have no musical identity" style that you're referring to :)

    I've been listening to Marshal since his early website with a quote from CC Deville on his front page (2002 ish?) and he continually blows my mind in the same way that Shawn did - wonderful players.

  • Darn YouTube formatting - replying to ClivePounds there.

  • I liked it... up until 1min

  • I like the sheets of sound created by moto perpetuo playing. Don't listen to the individual notes just absorb the big sound waves. Besides not too many players do it, so it kind of sets you apart if you do play "moto perpetuo" style.

  • if anything it gets better after 1min

  • LOL... yes I agree

  • Hey Marshall -

    what pickups are in this axe?

    -Kevin

  • I think Seymour Duncan JBs in Neck/bridge

  • I love it. You have great skills.

  • geez Marshall and why haven't you made your own album????

  • thanks got sidetracked with all of the petroleum engineering stuff. That paycheck was nice but I have to focus on developing my modest gifts to the max. It finally dawned on me late last year after a whole year of rumination: why do something you are average at when you can do something everyday that you are pretty good.

  • Meaning what, exactly? You're still doing the petrol stuff, right? Based on chops alone, you can't call your talents "modest" my friend!

  • No not doing the petroleum eng stuff anymore. I keep up to date on some of the latest frac strategies just as a hobby but I'm really going to give the music thing my all.

  • Good for you, dude. Doing it full-time myself, I can tell you that the artistic outlet and sense of identity more than makes up for the money that may or may not be there (at least for me). Looking forward to more of your material.

  • That's so great to hear... you only have one life...

  • thats great!

    if you ever do private lessons again I'd love to sign up for them.

    i missed that chance back in 04 (i think that was before or something had happened with ur online lessons)

  • @RozarSmacco

    do you mind telling me what guitar that is? it's really nice :)

  • @RozarSmacco Try becoming an Optometrist...

  • Real nice jam and indeed great phrasing.

    I really love this guitar. It has a high A string right ?

    Is it possible for me to get the backing track ?

  • i like your phrasing .

    Good job :D
