  • one of the greatest guiatrists ever tremonti FTW

  • Fantastic

  • There's no denying he's a good player, but my main issue with this is that he just looks so bored and emotionless while playing. Not much soul or passion going on there...

  • That's one way to win a crowd.

  • He often just looks up at the crowd and nods thinking, "that's right, i'm unreal."

  • Lol its amazing how he put basically not a single new idea in there, and im not even one of those guys who listen to metallica and van halen solos much... but what do you expect from an improvised (?) solo :) Still great

  • i still prefer guthrie govan : )

  • for a guy who never solos like this on the album..i think its pretty damn good

  • crap playing, CRAP tone

    deal with it

  • @daaaaavie ive seen much much much worse

  • @daaaaavie fck u

  • unfreakingbelievable. he amazes me every time he picks up a guitar <3 seeing them in April and I can't wait :)

  • He's a great guitar player, but this was meh.. Seems more like the shitty exercises(with a little bit of eruption, everyone likes that) you show off to people who don't play guitar in the attempt to gain their disbelief at your epic skill.

  • MARK TREMONTI FOR PRESIDENT!!!

  • It'd be interesting to see him try to cover any Gilmour solo lol

  • @c172kid David Gilmour is one of his biggest influences so I'm pretty sure he could do it

  • THOSE ARMS... I just might be turning a little gay, people.

  • boy he can shred! id say he's better than hammett!

    no offense for metallica fans! i love ab and metallica! and megadeth too :D

  • pretty damn messy, but at least tremonti isnt trying to be the best and he never acts like he is, if he was then id be bitter about him but hes ok :)

  • Best solo Mark does is the Stand Here with Me one, THAT ONE IS AWESOME

  • PURO GUAJOLOTAZO Y POCA ACCION

  • 00:40 ahavo rabo taco salad's riff

  • The man can play!

  • 1:19 Nirvana T-shirt

  • whats funny is this solo sucks balls compared to what hes doing now

  • He's style is just a mixture of all the famous guitarists out there. lol

  • slop.... just played eruption rip off like some amateur in their bedroom.

  • @deegz01 Dude, it's called being a performer. He played eruption because people are familiar with it. That why bands play cover songs because people enjoy them.

  • @mr75204 Yeah people enjoy EVH playing eruption.... Not this slop, come on man admit its not the greatest solo, and guys in their bedroom do better than that.

  • I don't get the need that some people have in comparing one guitarist against another all the time, it's pointless. Plenty of great guitarists out there, it's all in the eye of the beholder. Tremonti is an extremely talented musician and songwriter. The last few alter bridge albums have been second to none.

  • Oh Beauty

  • mark tremonti is GOD... nuff said

  • all licks stolen ......... Eddie Van Halen is the godfather

  • shit......

  • uggly wanking

  • @guitarniac .. ARE YOU STUPID?! he played in creed, one of the biggest bands in America, who sold over 30,000,000 records before he left. He now plays in Alter Bridge, about to start a UK Arena tour playing to 20-30000 at each venue.. Go listen to Bieber or someone you ass hole. he does not play in "shitty bands"

  • Wow, pretty talented guy. Too bad he plays in such shitty bands lol.

  • he once fingered a girl

    she died...

  • hum.. that was absolutely mediocre! not bad, but not good either..

  • this is what guitar can sound like if you have a pair of testicals

  • @hellbadger84 THIS SHOULD BE TOP COMMENT

  • @MartyFriedmanRulez66 Fuck you

  • When criticizing Mark, forget about 2005 or any date. That means nothing. Remember that this solo has no beat or time signature. Obviously the solos in his songs don't sound like that. They have more of a melody with all the finger movements. With that said, I'd like to see someone shred like that. Some random European guitarist from a random new alternative band can't.

  • Mehhh. I've never understood the Tremonti hype. He sounds like Kirk Hammett, maybe a little more chops.

  • @seamonkey18 that's cuz you're a dumbass, and Kirk Hammett can't even do legato

  • @MartyFriedmanRulez66 K thanks for the explanation..you're right, KH blows, just like Tremonti. There are dozens of better/more interesting guitarists out there.

  • @seamonkey18 The only one who blows is your girlfriend, and next time you see her tell her I said she sucks at it

  • @MartyFriedmanRulez66 Are you a god damned retard?

  • is that the dimebagg guitar?

  • fuck....... that's why i bought a Paul Reed SmithXD

  • ok he's awesome but really, i can't stand this solo

  • i can do that in my sleep! oh wait thats becuse im dreaming right.....:D

  • After hearing a lot of Mark's solos, I'd say he's definitely better than Clapton, Hendrix, or whoever. People say they were great, but I only ever heard them just play their songs. None of them did riffs like Mark. Lmao, Michael Winslow did a few Hendrix skits where he put on a fake afro and made all the guitar sounds with his mouth.

  • Someone please get the top comment of about Petrucci being better.... He isn't even close to being better!!! This was in 2005!

  • is this how "ahavo rabo taco salad" was born? because i can clearly hear some similar work

  • OK but noisy. If you like this you might like Guthrie Govan or MAB if you prefer lots of notes. The man who was there at the start of the shredding thing, Yngwie Malmsteen, may float your boat too. Or possibly the most sublime conjunction of note density, tone and taste, Shawn Lane. RIP.

  • Floyd Rose on Les paul O.O uaaalll,like never see before.

  • @MOK5151 its not a les paul... its a single cut PRS.... more expensive, lighter, thinner neck on his model, and craps on most lps on that price range.

  • does he have a solo project or something?

  • Kinda sloppy.

  • sounds a bit like eruption by van halen with the h-ons&p-off bits

  • i want his hands...

  • Golfklasse...

  • He's just fuckin' around and shredding here. to say he has "no talent" is just ignorant, plain and simple. And besides, once you get to a certain level of guitar playing, how in the hell do you decide who's "better"? it's all a matter of opinion at that point, good is good. love him or hate him, Mark Tremonti is one helluva guitarist. open your minds people.

  • No talent

  • @Cumulus818

    NO TALENT, DUDE YOU ARE A REFUCKINTARD, YOUR JUST JEALOUS THAT YOU CAN'T DO BETTER THAN HIM. I BET YOU DON'T HAVE THE GUTS TO PERFORM ON STAGE WITH OVER 1,000 FANS SCREAMING. YOU ARE SO STUPID AND DUMB. COCKHEAD SON OF A BITCH MOTHER FUCKER FUCKIN CUNT!!!!

  • @venomsnake101567 he is one of the best guitarestests in the entier state of the milky cumulus818. you are a dumb shit if you think other wise. i would love to see a post of you evn playing something 1/4 this skill level

  • Comment removed

  • @venomsnake101567 you're*

  • @indieindy Haha yehh that!

  • Didn't guitar world vote him best guitarist of the year for like 2-3 years also?

  • @venomsnake101567 1 000 fans???? dude theres more than 10 000 ppl there

  • @venomsnake101567 Ehm.... that answer is a shame, so immatue.. its a matter of opinion, and sure he is quit talented but there are a lot more talented guitarists which id prefer before marc

  • @Cumulus818 That depends on how you define talent, I'd say he's very good.

  • Mark Tremonti's not that good....go look at a couple under-rated guitarists who are better then Mark Tremonti; go look up Cliffs of Dover by Eric Johnson & go look up ANYTHING by George McCann (George is my Teacher...)

  • its not a race.. its about music.. this sucks

  • not really impressive, quite lame actually

  • noise Lukather Rocks ! he figured out how to play fast but that's it where's the feel Gilmour Rocks

  • His solos might not rival Petrucci's, but his riffs are GODLY.

  • @Clincherdydx Depends I guess. I'd probably say Petrucci has more technical talent, but for such abnormal riffs like Tremonti, he's a bit more regular.

  • @Clincherdydx His solos are better now... this was in 2005.

  • @Clincherdydx I'm a huge Mark Tremonti fan, and I'm telling you this is isn't the best he can do. He's the kind of guitarist that combines technique with melody. Petrucci is a little too technical but I'm not saying he's no good! :P He's actually an awesome guitarist! But I like Tremonti better because he gives the proper feeling to the solos he writes, and the technical parts totally fill in (espacially his legatos)

  • @Clincherdydx Totally what i was thinking.

  • @Clincherdydx thats not fair on god!!! :O he can't keep up with mark!!! :o

  • Mark can do much better than this. He's just shredding here.... Not that this is bad. Im just saying people shouldnt judge him by this video.

  • The haters are just jealous. He has plenty of "content" in the solos in his songs. He's just havin fun, shut the fuck up.

  • I just don't like this at all. This doesn't sound good and isn't technically impressive at all. He chugged, played some harmonic minor fast and then played eruption. Pretty lame to me. Just my opinion though.

  • Mark is the most underrated guitarist in the world

  • I don't think this is a clear representation of what Mark can do.

    His music can be incredibly soulful or fast as a bullet. He combines technique and soul.

    The title of this video is misleading, his best solo is possibly his part of Blackbird. It is hard to decide because of how many amazing solos he has written.

  • he is one incredible guitarist end of story!

  • MARK IS A MONSTER

    

  • lmbo people!...just because you cant do it your going to ATTEMPT to down grade the person who can which btw it is one of the hardest task on the planet to down grade mark tremonti considering he was named guitarist of the year 4 consecutive years in a row by guitar world magazine and has just recently been named the 4th greatest heavy metal guitarist of all time by Total Guitar as well as many other awards obtained over the years...so when you achieve that...PLEASEEE let me know :)

  • @irishjuggalette4ever sorry but hes quite shit

  • @TheASBObrown You have lost your talking privileges. 

  • That is such BS ,all crappy little tricks and no content.

  • Seen better!

  • marks a leg-end

  • how can this possibly get 458 dislikes its fucking awsome!!!

  • Yeah, it is good, but it may as well have been Eruption during the tapping.

  • (whisper) no top comment... my time to shine!!

    I PEE ON THE SIDE OF THE TOILET BOWL TO MAKE LESS NOISE

  • mark!! you are the best!

  • He ripped it off from Van Halen's eruption.. :P

  • good...

  • I can undertand why the Crowd wasn't very enthusiastic. Like me, they were in Shock. Rock On!

  • over slash !!

    

  • shit is very good..!!

  • Comment removed

  • fuckin awesome!

  • Whoa, whoa, whoa. Did anyone notice the riff at 0:35 was the intro to their song: ahavo rabo taco salad? I think some of the lead in the solo may have came from that song too.

  • Mark is awsome! He packs more into 2 minutes than Slash can pack into 10! INSANITY!!!

  • Speed ins't enough, even beeing super fast, Mark knows stuff, One Last Breath , Don't stop dancing, Rise Today, The end is here ( inspired by london bridge ) solos are amazing and people here should know that these comparisons are really dumb

  • 455 Peoples Going To Burn In Hell !!!!!

  • The Best Guitar Solo ! Mark Forever !

  • honestly I love Mark's playing to death but I expected better

  • @gbsons So Do Better ! Your Fucked ! All You Know Of Guitar Is "Come As You Are" !!!

  • @WeSLLeYON Somebody's a little sensitive.. Lighten up man.

  • PRS Mark Tremonti/s signature

  • What's his guitar??

    

  • this is nothing.... if you guys want to see a really KILLER guitarist, the person you are looking for is none other than the amazing John Petrucci of Dream Theater....

  • @sheahan99 ok cool. this video has nothing to do with him. He;s amazing but dont discredit mark

  • @NICKWAPPERER117 i think you misunderstood what i said... :S

    I agree, mark is pretty decent.. no doubt about it... But people shouldn't think that this is the peak of guitar playing... This is just the tip of the iceberg...

  • @sheahan99 yea i probly did im sorry. ,and this solo doe pal in comparison to his recent stuff. and this solo whips ass

  • all it is is showing off, but hes a great player, im sure he's entitled to it now again if not all the time

  • Just another wanker on stage. Learn how to play a guitar jackass.

  • Tremonti is talented, no doubt, but between the sour notes(hey you can just call it chromatic licks, right, right?) the sloppy, scratchy beginning, and the many chunks of Eruption, this video would lead those with an ear to believe otherwise. Off night, big time, and titling this "best solo" does as much disservice to Tremonti as calling him best guitarist does to the leagues of more talented and creative players out there.

  • It's 3 types of speed:

    -Speed of light,

    -Speed of sound,

    and Speed of Tremonti ;D

  • now if he did stuff like this i would like him more

  • your parents can be proud

  • awesome

    

  • Now i know haters will hate, and people will have their foolish openions, but Mark Tremonti I (in my opinion:) IS THE BEST GUTARIST OF THE 21ST CENTURY(IF NOT OF ALL TIME!)!!!

  • @Delongis46 You need to listen to more guitarista then

  • @stevegrierson Now stylisticly he is not the best, but technically he is the best. Also its just an openion, and that means nothing!

  • Gaintastic

    

  • It's amazing to see a Mark Tremonti vid get 1 million views. Such a talented guitarist :)

  • Cool...now do Cathedral..

  • @Yusree285 no

  • woooow...amazing...:)) 

  • I hate his wah.... He would sound so much better without it... and his horrible tone.

    Gawd.. 

  • dudes . . .my tone sounds better than that shiz lol

  • holy shit do you think he has enough fucking gain here?

  • its a prs not a les paul

  • Les Paul carved top body, what is the neck? and is that a strat trem?

  • @justinrixx It's a Paul Reed Smith Tremonti signature it's has a 'Wide Thin' neck carve which is more like a Fender a 25" scale length which is PRS' standard and mid way between Gibson and Fender plus the PRS tremolo and locking tuners the pickups are custom. If you go to PRSguitars dot co m you can find out a lot more.

    PRS do two Tremoni guitars the USA one is exactly what Mark plays and the SE version which is made in Korea and costs less (Mark plays these as well at times)

  • not that good... he does so much better stuff than this..

  • He belongs in creed

  • Whats the name of the technic in 0:56 - 1:15 min ?

    Thanks

    MT was live one of the best guitarists i've ever saw!

  • @Pastitics Legato

  • @Pastitics Basically it sounds to me like he is playing arpeggios on 1 string, using the open string and playing legato with his left hand.

  • How did they get popular?? You cant suck and get famous, gotta be good a somn, js

  • this sounds awesome

  • If you can get sponsored by Paul Reed Smith, you gotta be pretty dang good. FUCK YOU. look at some of the asswipers PRS sponsors. You dont have to be good, you just have to be popular, the two have NOTHING in common. This 'solo' is embarrasin if I was this dude, Id be getting it the fuk off youtube or at least get some better shit up. Ive heard better solos at talent shows,

  • For all these people saying him or his tone or whatever sucks is bad wrong. If you can get sponsored by Paul Reed Smith, you gotta be pretty dang good. And if his tone sucked, then why would PRS like him enough to do what they did. And pretty sure none of the people posting negative comments can play better than him, js. The only few people that hate his tone just have bad taste because millions of other people, plus a company who makes some of the best guitars think he great

  • Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.........­....

  • *jizzez in pants*

  • how could he POSSIBLY be that amazing and still have time to go to the gym!? :') <3

  • i cannot believe how closed minded some of you guys are, the tone may be bad, it may be speed and hammer ons, but the man has fucking skill, you try to come up with some of the things he has! No this isn't his best, but its pretty damn good!

  • My Grandma used to play like that 20 years ago .. :P

  • Wow you guys are rough on him-but I don't know anything about playing guitar either. He smokes and I'd love to play like him

  • lot of hammer on garbage with zero feeling. tone is annoying. guy has talent but it's all in speed. this is suited for pre-teens and retarded teens at best. 

  • can it be that this is fucking playback?^^

  • shit nice ;) the best gitarist now no doubt

  • @llllllllllama Well yeah there's a doubt. He's awesome and all but there's better guitarists out there.

  • its sounds like SHIT but this guy really can play the camera SUCKS ASS

  • We all know if this were jimmy hendrix or Steve vai everyone would be sayin how amazing this is

  • how about everyone shut up and watch the performance instead of giving your two cents

  • shit performance, horrible tone, shredding sucks

  • Boring. 

  • People also gotta remember, this was probably in the middle of a set, after playing many amazing Alter Bridge songs :D - I know I'd be tired ;)

  • have you people not thought that he might actually like the tone he's using. i hear that his tone sucks on every single one of his videos. your tone might suck to him so get used to the fact that he has his own tone that he uses to his advantage

  • @destinyrider22 sounds like beatifull ZOOM tone pluged into a jazz chorus amp, great" ädvantage"!

  • 0:56 i have only one word for this and its "awsome"!

  • honestly expected some fred durst shit. not my style, but i'm impressed, creed-man

  • Like a 5 year old....

  • Turn the distortion off, this guy would sound a 5 year old playing...

  • @guidi73 So go post a video of you doing better.

  • @iMensah81

    although I am better, I don´t have to be in order to know that this guy SUCKS big time! If I don´t like a car, do I have to make a better one in order to say that the car sucks?!! I do not think so... go study and pick up better influences!

  • @guidi73 So I am to take your word that you're better than an internationally known recording artist who has gold, platinum, and diamond certified records to his (and his bands') credit, multiple endorsements by world-renowned music gear makers, and multiple Grammy nominations and awards all because you say you are?

    Yeah. Ok.

  • @iMensah81 you absolutelly do not have to take my word, as you probably wont anyway, but be sincere for just a moment now: do you really think that grammys or fame and gold platinums nominations to whatever, really make any one better than another? and as I sayd before, me being better or worse is not really the point here... as someone sayd here, his tone SUCKS, his technique is poor, and a bunch of other things... hopefully you'll grow out of it soon enough and discover what play guitar means

  • @guidi73 True, none of the fame matters when it comes
