Mark Tremonti Getting Loose in the GW Studio

[QueenToKingOfSpades]

Alter bridge is Creed minus shit = Scott Stapp

[sportsportsport]

I like Mark Tremonti, because I know, he loves guitar playing. He's like a fellow guitarman obsessed.

[1477awesome]

Wtf did I just hear

[gavquinn]

Sounds like every Creed song.

[CodyLikesDT]

@gavquinn And you sound like every jealous prick.

[gavquinn]

@CodyLikesDT Losers attack opinions.

[CodyLikesDT]

@gavquinn Is that you attacking my opinion?

[joanie106]

[eroticblack]

awww my fav, ghost of days!

[mattshadow81]

wow

[Code004567]

whats this song called?

[shonrcross]

@Code004567 ghost of days gone by

[mwheeler1994]

yeeeeeeeeeeer saaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaar - every creed song

[DarkMopey003]

Mark may not be on par with G3 players but he's the most hard-working guitarist I've ever seen, plus his damn humble about it. I think you can at least give him credit where credit is due.

[SteveGuitar987]

Great now i have to find DSGisNOTapuss's comment.

[mg200442000]

Tremonti tries hard to be a good player, but has never achieved skill on par with Vai or Petrucci. Always seems too be sub-par to the G3 players

[CarlOlav]

@mg200442000 Do you really expect anyone to achieve that kind of skill? G3 guys aren't regular guitarist, they're legends! And Tremonti played in... Creed?!

[dabenson8r]

@iga123s I'm not sure if he was calling Mark a beginner, or if he was calling the lesson good for beginners. Either way it would make sense.

[Doomslayingrocker]

I used to think alternative guitarists like Mark didn't know much about guitar, thinking all they knew were power chords, now I see they know more than I thought.

[CJSchecter96]

@Doomslayingrocker go listen to any Alter Bridge song he is a shredder

[Doomslayingrocker]

@CJSchecter96 Sorry bro, i didn't mean it like that. Mark Tremonti is an awesome shredder, what I meant was back when I didn't really appreciate how to make music I assumed if you didn't shred you sucked. I know better now and seeing Mark play always makes me think of that.

[CJSchecter96]

@Doomslayingrocker i didnt mean it like that either, i just wanted to show that hes a good player sorry if it came off the wrong way

[CosmicSPC]

quite good for beginner!! keep on practicing, Mark!

[iga123s]

@CosmicSPC You are just poor little gay, go play warcraft!

[MrUltraworld]

I don't know why, but I have always put this guy in the category of killer gear but not much talent. I have seen him locally here in Central Florida where he lives & he just didn't do anything for me. He seems like a nice guy though.

[Songwriter4God]

@MrUltraworld Look up Alter Bridge and you'll rethink that. :P It's 'cause Creed sucks but Alter Bridge rocks. Alter Bridge has great songs musically and lyrically, Creed seems to be more "poppy" and Scott really doesn't have anywhere near as much talent as Myles and the musicians he ended up with. All he does is sing, I admit, I like his voice for some things, but I just hate Creed somehow. Myles both plays gutiar and sings with a three or four octave voice. :P

[MrUltraworld]

@Songwriter4God I have the first alter bridge & your right, it's light years ahead of Creed. I'm not trying to be rude to the guy, I hear he's a cool guy. His solos just sound (to me) like several other guitarist's licks put together. I live in the same town & I build guitars & I have never heard a single bad thing about him.EVER! Thanks for pointing that out.

[ITMeCE]

before you all start running your mouth about how Scott cant play probably the most easiest song for a fucking guitarist to do, why don't you think about all the riff's, licks and a looot of other things he created WITH Mark, before you talk crap about him not being able to play guitar, just because you don't see him playing live doesn't mean he doesn't know how to play, i've seen him play hes pretty damn good. and Mark helped him learn.. just sayin'..

[Songwriter4God]

@ITMeCE But he's still nowhere near the level Myles or Mark are and never will be. I bet anyway. And even so, to do that he'd have to be able to play songs like Isolation, all riffs, AND sing. Granted, Myles doesn't play during the verse, but he could if he wanted to.

[ITMeCE]

@Songwriter4God Myles admitted that the isolation song is one of the easiest songs they've ever made... if Scott cant play that, especially if Mark helped him learn everything he knows now, then yeah he sucks, but he still plays none the less, and he might not be on Marks level, but he wrote the song overcome with Mark, the riffs, everything, he has played while singing plenty of times.. he has much more energy on stage than Myles does, hes far more entertaining than Myles.

[Songwriter4God]

@ITMeCE K, well, I haven't really seen him perform much, but the videos I have watched I agree, he's pretty enthusiastic on stage and very energetic, but Myles rocks out too, and, showmanship doesn't overcome musicianship. Just watch Brian MArshall Lol! :P And, where did he say that? Easiest made doesn't mean easiest to play and sing. And, does Scott play that song on stage while singing it?

[ITMeCE]

@Songwriter4God well, using Isolation as an excuse for him not playing and singing at the same time is pretty.. unfair, Scott isnt apart of Alter Bridge and Mark already said that singing a Creed song with AB would be weird and singing a AB song with Creed would be weird, The songs he HAS played while singing, are some songs he wrote, he even played With arms wide open, except, he didnt do much because most of the song uses one guitar anyways, so yeah he's sung plenty of songs while playing.

[Songwriter4God]

Oh, really? Didn't know that. I didn't even know he could play guitar, point still stands though that Myles is still leagues better than Scott on guitar. And, I'm using Isolation as an example, 'cause it uses all riffs, I never said Scott needs to prove he's a REAL guitarist and play and sing Isolation at the same time, I couldn't, most people probably couldn't, playing riffs and singing is an acquired skill, and if you don't need to do it then you shouldn't care about learning to.

[ITMeCE]

@Songwriter4God before this conversation is over, i just wanted to say. thank you for not cussing at me, you actually had a friendly argument with me, unlike other people that would have just said Scott Stapp sucks which he doesnt, when one of these haters sells over 30 million copies multiple platinum albums, and get all of their hits on the music charts at 1, 2 and 3 for multiple weeks.. Hes one of the best singer's to ever live, thats a fact, same with Myles, and AB deserves more attention to

[Songwriter4God]

@ITMeCE :D Thank you too for also not being the casual Youtuber who gets in arguments. :P But, I again must respectfully disagree, Justin Bieber isn't one of the best singers ever, he just makes supposedly "good" music which young girls like and buy. There's two kinds of "music" these days, commercial music, like pop music such as Justin Bieber, Katy Perry, etc. and artistic, otherwise known as "real" music. Artistic music generally doesn't sell anymore, Commercial does and makes charts.

[Songwriter4God]

@ITMeCE And I brought that up because you say when they get all of their hits on 1 2 and 3 for multiple weeks they're one of the best singers, that statement is untrue for the reasons I specified in my other comment. I don't know if you meant to say when the haters do that they can complain or if it was the same sentence, but it looks incomplete and like YT interrupted or something. Dunno, it's still a good point though, even if it was totally off topic. :P Yes, Scott is good too, though.

[ITMeCE]

@Songwriter4God i honestly dont know, and could care less anymore XD

[Songwriter4God]

@ITMeCE XD Yeah, this conversation has ended. Well, thanks for being respectful! Great to see some other YTers with a brain bigger than a peanut. :P

[ITMeCE]

@Songwriter4God mhm :) not everyone is a retard... but.. almost the majority of them are ^^

[Songwriter4God]

@ITMeCE Lol! I've had that observation too. Quite true, unfortunately. It's the whole problem with the fact that you're not held accountable for what you say to rip on people on here. :P

[ITMeCE]

@Songwriter4God but im not ripping on people. im stating a fact x)

[Songwriter4God]

@ITMeCE XD yeah. :P Trolls, they'll never grow up, I've found the best way to deal with them is to just ignore them though, as hard as it can be not to call them an idiot becuase they are. :P

[ITMeCE]

@Songwriter4God totally :3 oh and *sends friend request* >>

[Songwriter4God]

@ITMeCE Too late, already sent you one. :P

[ITMeCE]

@Songwriter4God D: nooooo!!



[Songwriter4God]

@ITMeCE :P See ya around Youtube.

[RsPker141]

@DSGisNOTapuss omg dude u made me lol. first of all scott stapp cant even fucking play mary had a little lamb on the guitar second of all why would u try n troll when alterbridge fans (real men) will make fun of you for being that dumb???

[BL00ZnT00Z]

@DSGisNOTapuss ... LMFAO .... I reckon your real name is actually Scott Stapp .... Now run along and restring your Guitar Hero controller :-D

[apsinthion]

@DSGisNOTapuss epic fail

[pulse101111]

@DSGisNOTapuss

LMFAO.... What?

[schmaltzization]

Creeds lyrics are repetative but thats not Marks fault Creed is good i perfer Alter Bridge just a personal pref. i do listen to both bands as well as slashes stuff with MK and the Mayfield Four witch if you didnt know was MK band befor joining AB

[WolverhampBand]

40 losers tried to play the intro. TREMONTI RULES, BRAZIL WAITS FOR YOU!!!

[PIlotrcm]

I always thought Creed sounded good and was pretty talented, all of them.

But as an athiest I tend to find their songs message annoying and fuckin' gay.

[ShaggyPker]

@PIlotrcm Creeds lyrics are the best part. Lol.

[Songwriter4God]

@PIlotrcm That's nice, 'cause they're nowhere near a Christian band, no way Stapp is a Christian, and go look at the Higher music video, I think it is anyway, I looked it up once 'cause I wanted to hear the song 'cause I haven't heard too many Creed songs, just enough to know I don't like them, and there's no way that's Christian music. I have a problem with people like you who are obviously intolerant and can't see good music for what it is if you disagree with the message, listen to the music!

[EPICVOLUME101]

i dont know why one of my friends dont like him or the bands that hes been in

[frankratox]

Mark Tremonti Boss of all Guiatarrist

[lifeson46]

@frankratox yeah boss of all really bad guitarists lol

[pantokrator1988]

@DSGisNOTapuss

AHHAHAHAHA fuckin poser AB>creed FOREVER dumbass

[SpankyMcGrits]

@pantokrator1988 You, sir, are mistaken.

[soul2676]

always the best mark, i adore you technique, keep playing for all of us ok? =)

[zeppguitarded]

@DSGisNOTapuss Your stupidity levels are off the charts. I don't even know what to say.

[flash7241]

@zeppguitarded u dont say anything to disfunctional retards. u just pity them and hope the best for them

[KyleJPie10]

Not an amazing guitar player, but one of my favorites. Such emotion in is writing.

[TheNohcim]

Ghost of Days gone by!!!!

[zeppguitarded]

That is a sweet bogner.

[gavquinn]

Sounds very like my sacrifice. I mean it's nice, but sounds a bit too familiar.

[sleepe002]

37 people can't fight the ghost of days gone by

[pulse101111]

I wonder what tuning he uses on this song? Anybody?

[ABMD92]

@pulse101111 open d5

[pulse101111]

@ABMD92

Sweet thanks

[laidlaw3]

@pulse101111 Drop C#

[MrDarkSanity]

an alright guitarist?? lolol he owns you He is an amazing player..and Creed id Awesome in MY opinion.

[Gageheartlizzie]

I know Bogner is great and all.. but I would've picked the half stack.. :3

[apophis135]

He actually could be an alright guitarist if he wasn't in such a gay band

[rch456789]

@apophis135 lol.. I agree

[ABMD92]

@apophis135 in what way could alter bridge possibly be considered "gay"

and multiple guitarist of the year awards would suggest he is more than an "alright" guitarist

how about not being a hater? faggot

[apophis135]

@ABMD92 You are obviously an Alter Bridge/Tremonti fanboy. Who gives a fuck about the comercialist "guitarist of the year awards". He is no where near guitarists such as: Allan Holdsworth, Guthrie Govan, Shawn Lane, John Petrucci, etc. Look them up and tell me if you still think he's the "guitarist of the year."

[MattKimDemos]

@apophis135 but you know, one of the cool things about Tremonti is that he's pretty damn humble about it. Like, he talks about his friend Michael Angelo Batio, and how he is always just totally out of his league. Its quite inspiring that at this level, he still is really chill about all that stuff. He might not be the best, but yeah, he's still pretty damn good.

[ABMD92]

@apophis135 well look who's pretentious, try learning some things before you go running your mouth troll, because if you did then you would know that i am a MASSIVE fan of all of those people bar allan holdsworth who (to be fair) i will now look up, and commercialism my ass , if you knew anything about being a guitarist then you would know that its not all about building chops, sure a good technique goes a long way but i cant think of anyone whose music speaks to me the way tremonti's does.

[apophis135]

@ABMD92 That's a quite a long response!

[ABMD92]

@apophis135 indeed it was =D and i looked up allan holdsworth like i said i would, hes awesome ;)

[apophis135]

@ABMD92 I know haha he might be my favorite...him and Guthrie are definately my top 2.

[amithabajan2]

This guy kicked ass live! He is very underrated in the uk!

[Harrysound]

@amithabajan2 You might not have noticed the album going in the top ten in it's first week of release, numerous guitar magazine covers, download festival apearences , Live DVD making it to number 1 on all music videos on amazon......blah blah blahHe's rated enough, in my world anyway.

[demrayhalen]

Bet it would add more character to hear his playing like this, on acoustic.

[groovey65]

CREED fucking suck!

[Guitardemonsj]

@groovey65 suck this .I.

[MaartenIB]

Now play that on a Telecaster and the tone matches the piece.

[ShSwStudios]

@MaartenIB totally agree

[ElGbayRGX]

He is so amazing Creed and Alter Bridge are really cool bands !!

[DamoG93]

Is this an actual song or jus a riff he made up?

[Thehideby]

@DamoG93 ghosts of days gone by-alter bridge

[Thehideby]

Seriously, It's the sixth time i'm here because I can't get enough of it XD I know I can listen to the song but it's not the same..

[musicsmydestiny]

The misery I know like a friend that wont let go is creeping up on me now once again. I first didnt even recognize that i was singing^^....

[rockandrollforever23]

underated guitar player

[TurdFurguson420]

@rockandrollforever23 eh.. i wouldnt say that... hes pretty highly regarded... and with good reason.. lol

[RandomGuitarist96]

@TurdFurguson420

The guy said UNDERated, meaning not enough people appreciate the dude.

[TurdFurguson420]

@RandomGuitarist96 because creed sucks... lol.... just kidding really.... i always liked them and AB... but thats why he isnt as well respected i guess is the best word... but thats just the general public...

[Thehideby]

The tuning is made so every open note on more than 1 string is a rock chord, kinda.. It's very hard to understand but very comftarble to play with :)

[DiveBombProductions]

The Song is in Open Db

Db Ab Db Ab Db Db!

[SHIFThoustonTX]

open d tuning?



[SevenStringShredHead]

@SHIFThoustonTX every string is in the key of d

D A D F# A D

[Guitarmazdur]

i love this song :)

[TurdFurguson420]

reading a videos info tab is a lost art it seems....but for those too lazy.. the full video will be a lesson of ghosts of days gone by.. aug issue of gw... ;)

[brcalzbastru]

You know what...Its about 21 dislikes from Metalheads, who have their music suppressed by...this guy !!!

[CreepingMetalDeath]

sex to my ear o_O

[seifersgrant]

does anyone know if this is part of a song or anything? Or is it just something he is playing, because it sounds awesome.

[redevil4evr]

@seifersgrant Ghost of days gone by.

[koalascandraw]

@seifersgrant Ghosts of days gone by. On their new album

[seifersgrant]

@koalascandraw thanks a lot!

[duder6666]

tremonti never fails to impress



[MercyStudios]

I love that riff!

[peterstrohm]

Mark is not just another guitar shredder, he's an awesome composer and writer as well, a rare treat these days.

[Adamisarocker09]

ghosts of days gone by <3

[soul2676]

wooow¡¡¡¡¡ mark nice riff ABIII =),you're the best, keep play for all of us ok? =)

[MajorPonch]

I may have to refer to this for later songwriting.

[jcstumpy1]

too pretty:)

[WalrusDoom]

I'm just waiting for him to snap the neck of the guitar off in a moment of rock god rage, like he did in that one shitty video from that shitty band he was in where he played really shitty riffs and made goofy faces.

[MadCatChiken]

PRS's are such nice guitars, love my SE 24.

[musiciskey15]

@buttsniffjackwagon1 YOUR one sexy guitar! Oho! Please put that in your pipe and smoke it good sir!

[stratorarious]

MORE!

[buttsniffjackwagon1]

that is one sexy guitar

[predz23]

I'd like to have the PRS Tremonti SE, but I'm not really into Tremonti and never listened to his music. Would it be weird to own a signature guitar of someone I'm not really into?

[sixxthunderbird]

@predz23 I wouldn't think so. You should be buying the guitar for the guitar, not the name on it.

[ahvaimusicom]

sick~

[Mirshahia]

is he playing a song or is that just some riff?

[PetrucciLifeson12]

@Mirshahia It's "ghost of days gone by"

[RichardA5150]

@Mirshahia Hes playing Ghosts of Days Gone By

[SuperGuitarMark]

@Mirshahia He is playing the main riff to the song Ghost of Days Gone By

[TheVeryAngryGoose]

Amazing riff :]

[HaruUnite]

Next month issue! Trivium GUITAR LESSON ;D!

[LoULoU60500C]

one of the shorteset video of GW but, maye the better guitar riff ? Yeah ! :)

[kevdog330]

Sounds like a fresh pair of  new strings! Love that sound! :)

[Spacca189]

GHOST OF DAYS GONE BY O_o

[jscott2250]

so everybody knows, it's ghosts of days gone by from alter bridge's third album, ABIII

[ooberpwnage]

God is sort of like that really good Creed/Alter Bridge song, it doesn't exist!

[Dreamscapevirus]

@ooberpwnage lol fantastic comment that made me laugh way to hard thank you!

[MetallicaRush101]

Sounds kind of like In Flames.

[87kittygirl]

What ever happend to Creed?

[SuperGuitarMark]

@87kittygirl They are still around. Its just when Mark, Scott P, and Brian are not working on anything with creed, they are working on Alter Bridge stuff and when They are not doing anything Alter Bridge related, they are with Creed

[horsee45]

@87kittygirl Creed came back in 2009. Check out their new album Full Circle. Its AWESOME.

[nosidamde]

Tremonti = Modern Rock God!

[gunsnrosesfreak29]

@nosidamde No way he is way more than a "modern" rock god he is a music genius!

[aeropagitica]

Nice to see a casual video from GTHQ. It would be nice to see some more of the interviewees outside of their interviews/lessons when they're at the studios in future!

[Blizzard56k]

Delicious riff

[Harrysound]

dunno what that last comments was all about....but this tune is mighty fine.

[YAGGAAA]

mark tremonti is what makes alter bridge viable. sad but true

[vermillioneffect]

@YAGGAAA I guess you haven't listened to Myles's amazing voice then. An opinion is an opinion, and you can have that; but I respectfully disagree.

[YAGGAAA]

@vermillioneffect i like him too but mark tremonti is what makes them viable. they wouldnt be famous like that without mark. you got me wrong dude, i listen to them also and i like them as a band :)

[vermillioneffect]

@YAGGAAA Yeah I understood what you meant. I could tell it was a thought, rather than a trolling attempt. Carry on sir.

[YAGGAAA]

@vermillioneffect cheers :)

[SuperGuitarMark]

@YAGGAAA Not true! What about Myles Kennedy, the best singer in Modern Rock?

[YAGGAAA]

@SuperGuitarMark haha :D

[SuperGuitarMark]

@YAGGAAA Kids these days :( They don't understand or appreciate great vocal skill, passion, and technique

[cdsnzeevng]

Mark Tremonti ftw!!

[Josh111597]

nice, 1st
