[xMaSTerOFtHeWicKeDxX]

Great playing and tone!

[Luccaguitar]

the tone is perfect.....excellet Mark

[funkyjones]

You're a great player and have nice tone.

But I think you would sound better if you played fewer notes.

Mark:

That soldano sounds better than "Most" of your other videos where you use the Carvin! Hint: lose the carvin Just found your video collection, and have to say "Thank You" for all the great lessons. Very nice. You are definitely one of the better instructor/players on the tube. After listening to about half of them, I can tell that Steve Vai is your idol. You have Vai's playing style simply nailed down, most impressive. Thanks again, I'll be checking back to see what your up to.

Thanks man! :)

I regularly gig the Soldano as it's far easier to carry! But I do also love the Legacy sound, the clean channel itself is sublime :).

[frannyp46]

Do you get a free disposable lighter to hold up with this one? Oh,nice phrasing by the way.

[weezerbub]

WOW, OK, I think I'm sold on the Astroverb head now(w/2x12 greenbacks). It was on my finals list, but I think it's #1 now. Are you plugged straight in? Also, how do you like the cleans?

Great playing too! ;-)

[markmcguigan]

Setup for this was guitar ->CAE Boost->Soldano with its preamp set to 7. So boost was giving me that extra edge :).

It's a single channel amp and 18W so not much headroom there for cleans. Live I tend to run it as I used it for this improv. Control the cleans with vol and pickup selection on guitar. They're not pristine but on single-coils it does the job OK :).

You inspire me to practice. Keep up the good work.

[Luccaguitar]

interpretation with great feeling

[Lahed92801]

Oh gosh, the 80's are coming back =))

Great playing, though

[Jinskee]

beautiful. great job mark.

[fenrirloupblanc]

Doesnae sound like that when I play through it :p

Which backing track was it? Sounds like one I have

[markmcguigan]

Yes! It's that C Major Ballad one :)

[sportsportsport]

I wish I could play like you!

[nathanguitarguru]

nice playing, it's a bit to epic to be cheesy!!

[markmcguigan]

Maybe Epic Cheese ?

[Hezus3Christo]

epic cheese could work, maybe ultimate cheese?  either way great job!

[tq105]

Great playing Mark and awesome tone - I'm gonna have to check this little amp out! Your Suhr is making me hungry for mine. Just a few weeks to wait now for my beautiful standard...

[markmcguigan]

Woah! Thanks Tom! Coming from such a great player as yourself that means alot man :).

I'm currently gigging the Astroverb and it does indeed pack a punch! I have swapped out the stock Eminence speaker for a Vintage 30 though. The original speaker was a tad harsh sounding and I just love Vintage 30s!

I heard from Laurie that you had a Suhr coming, many congrats! They are truly wonderful instruments. I can't wait to see you ripping it up on it when it arrives! :)
