[JJDR92]

[MrSustainiac]

[turimarino]

mantieni alto l onore musicale italiano ... ma il suono esce cosi dall ampli o usi qualke effetto?

[TheIArocks]

I have to admit, I'm watching this video every frickin day and I just can't get enaugh of it!

Love your playing, Marco, great job!

Hope to be able to play this masterpiece one day! =)

[95ninjakid]

I don't see how you can dis-like awesome stuff like this. It's pure talent!

[Raaaaaaaaaafls]

Hey Marco, a lesson on one of those crazy arpegios would be awesome!

[Turbominchia2]

Well done, Marco SFOLLI!

[Zerbafutsal]

vai marco, mi aspetto grandi cose da te sul nuovo album di James LaBrie.

[tappman85]

Holy crap... this guy RRRRRRRRRRRRRRROCKKKKKKKKKKKSS­SSSSSSSS!!!

[Psyhister]

My favorite guitar player is Petrucci, but I have to admit — I like Marco's shredding style way more, than John's. It just sounds more interesting and beautiful for me.

[metalhead2221]

LiamENGL brought me here, so sick

[Maeguk]

@metalhead2221 the same here

[salmandia]

WHAT THE FUCK !! YOU ARE VERY SUPERR GREAATT !!!! SUPERRBBB!

[killyou45]

I knew Marco from the James LaBrie Elements album doing kickass solos like that of "Drained", but I had no idea he played in Andromeda, who I've always enjoyed too. Bizarre how life works.

[anonimo222]

@killyou45 You mean Andromeda the band? The song's name is Andromeda.

[killyou45]

@anonimo222 Yeah I guess you're right. Dumb error on my part lol

[TricolorBass]

2012! Happy new year!!!

[theblindoc]

Wow...great player!

[kendrummer99]

[Raffael900me]

WHAT? brb im gonna go sell my guitar on ebay

[lintball0190]

what kind of guitar is that ? the finish on it is so sweeeeet !

[justaspectator01]

0:51 i really like that gurgle sound!

[shravanrulez]

@justaspectator01 Me too!! Really fascinating stuff!!

[jareds1007]

this piece here is pure genious.  if you want to play guitar this would be a huge piece to learn.

[jareds1007]

yeah...he plays so well...he sounds like a keyboardist....which is friggen incredibly hard to but...so desireble due the fact that eventually you'll want to hit and bend a squealing harmonic..........

[emosucks89]

This is INTENSE!

[jenn4utube2011]

Marco!!!!! jamming those strings, pure magic.

[TheMrZues]

What prick dislikes this?!

[adjrm]

I hope that guitar was under 18

[AyaKization]

So good man... ORGASMIC

[SuperDelta000]

MADE IN ITALY

[SuperDelta000]

Incredibile!....

[Laarx]

any chance of some tabs for the song?

[jenn4utube2011]

amazing, short but captivating, have to hear more of your music, all the best.

[TheScream432]

spider fingers xD.

[superjarri]

If I could play like this, I would dominate the world. Seriously!

[jareds1007]

maniac! so damn good!

[adamostevanato]

Veramente fortissimo! Marco rules!

[localpm]

Wow.

[strats4ever321]

What amp is he using here? It doesn't sound like a lonestar.

[ikilledsifodyas]

@strats4ever321

He's playing through a Mesa Studio Preamp & 2:90 power amp.

[Raffael900me]

G3!!!!!!!!!!!

[Raffael900me]

Petrucci, Satriani, Sfogli THE ITALIAN guitar masters TRINITY!!!!

[mashafasha5]

@Raffael900me Dude.... Vai..... FOR THE LOVE OF GOD!!!!! don't forget about Vai

[Alexiaden93]

@mashafasha5 "FOR THE LOVE OF GOD" how fitting in this context xD

[GollumeSmigol]

@Raffael900me Aggiungi Vai, Marcello, Gottardo...

[dremel73]

e. questo e' uno bravo.

[rampage222555]

wish i could go to becker fest to see him live. but little holland is a few thousand miles too far from my place :(

[StrappingYoungLawd]

Rob Chappers

[maxpowd3r]

[metallscreamo]

[xXDevour86Xx]

[jareds1007]

[box1467]

butter. spelled b-u-t-t-e-r.  yikes.

of course, if I had $5000 of equipment.... hmmm....

[dimebuckerpickups]

paper player

[Jaydaddyfresh]

Melodically amazing! And that guitar has incredible tone. Love the finish too

[OliverMazur]

im tired of people saying "OHH yeah his playing is a micture of John Petrucci and Steve Vai yeahyeah"...You damn morons! Marco sounds like Marco! Period! All guitarists are inspired by other guitarists. Petrucci and Vai both had their's, but you dont say that Vai sounds like his idol or Petrucci soundsl ike his...you might aswell say that Marco sounds like Petruccis and Vais idols...But NO! Marco sounds like Marco! Get it through ur thick skull, his playing is very unique and absolute genius

[brunellomarone]

Neapolitan Pride!

[Deanosius]

Great!

[JackNRolla]

COMPLIMENTI!!!! VERAMENTE ECCEZIONALE!! DA QUANTO TEMPO SUONI?

[MrIronMaiden96]

Bello! (: Che chitarra è?!?!

[TheNachoFox]

you are god

[mpalin11]

WOW. NICE. I dunno what to say :D This was so beautiful and well played. Geez... Some people have it.

[drummakid101]

This does prove that bright shiny lights on your rig DOES in fact improve tone :D

[ImperoRomano]

ITALIAN PRIDE.

[Ibanez1237]

oh man i love you soloing keep up the good work man!

[wandersonfcastro]

[MrBeams1]

The Monster.

[BurntAtTheStake666]

HOLY SHIT THIS IS AMAZING

[Neyowolf]

[Neyowolf]

Good christ thats amazing melody and tone

[AlessioDan]

[silentmjsty]

[DoV690]

A quel rack là manca solo la parola :D

[maxomilian]

p90x for your fingers

[uidsea]

A very quick solo but so much is put into it!

[Maiodidi]

Great Italien Master !!!!!!!

[riffdude1]

@Maiodidi  It alien?

[NEWCtheSHOW]

Shit... I quit. Who wants my guitars? lol

[drummakid101]

His tone make me cum out of my ass.

Unbelievable.

[jareds1007]

@drummakid101 it'll never be matched...he did it with axe fx i saw somewhere around here...but...something different we'll never find...maybe....keep looking though!!!!

[NKAuror]

@drummakid101 It's unbelievable that you could even come up with a thought like that, let alone to share your filthy thought with teh internets. You disgusting fag.

[jesperstotzchannel]

a great example of somebody using flawless technique on behalf of making awesome music, and now the other way around.

[peppetartamella]

Grande Marco, bellissimo solo....che chitarra utilizzi??

[metalpraxis]

WOW! Its the first time I see a video of this guy or hear is music, really impressive !

[Psyhister]

I don't really like sweep picking too much, but in this song it seems so... natural.

And, btw, which guitar he use?

[maxomilian]

@Psyhister Rash guitars.

Very nice but very expensive and 2 dimarzio deactivator pickups.

[sen0you]

@Psyhister dont like sweep? ooo man listen to this: 'btbam selkies sweeps'

[Nickkk3306]

@Psyhister He uses the Rash MT monster sfogli sig.

[GoodMetalFTW]

@Psyhister

that info was wrong. the pickups he uses are the dimarzio d sonic in the neck and the air norton in the bridge.

[GoodMetalFTW]

@Psyhister

whoops, that info was wrong too. the d sonic is his bridge pickup, the air norton is his neck pickup.

[warhead1970]

fucking master!!!!!!!

[juanperez0505]

O.O!!!!!

[bartoszdrum]

WoW :)

[guitarpicking]

Marco Grandissimo, sono Italiano ma abito in Venezuela...suoni meraviglioso..volevo domandarti...cosa costa il tuo model rash e che tempo hai esercitato per arrivare a questo livello...grazie un abbraccio e tante belle cose

[deathscythekim729]

Whoah!

[5t3Maiden]

was this the take used on the album? It sounds so similar, although I wouldn't put it past Marco being able to reproduce album quality repeatedly.

[McSnurk]

Excuse my ignorance, but what model is the Mesa Boogie?

[GuardianOfFate12]

@McSnurk I'm pretty sure it's a Lone Star.

[GuardianOfFate12]

@ikilledsifodyas Yes he has a Studio Pre in his rack, but i'm pretty sure the other guy was asking about the head.

[r1ku97]

questa canzone mi ha supportato nei momenti più tristi in questi mesi in cui non ho potuto suonare a causa della tendinite, oggi finalmente posso riprendere.

Un grazie vero, Francesco.

[pochankitty]

Is he playing through the Mesa Lonestar in this video too? I love that tone!

[warhead1970]

no me canso de ver este solo,,,fck"·$%awesome

[guitarristaheavy616]

Gotta love the ):< face at 0:40

[r1ku97]

chi ha votato non mi piace sta veramente male, mi dispiace dirlo ma è vero

[mediblue9]

This dude is sick!

[RicardoTheTardo]

hey all! forget this guy. I mean, he's okay on guitar, but for a real master, check out the website on my channel.

moondancer33 is his(my) sn on youtube!

[VirtualShapeShifter]

AWESOME!! :D :D :D

[echosistema]

mitico!!

[HiiITzJames]

Whoa, marco my face was like :D for like 5 min....yes i watched it 5 times haha

[Alexinchains81]

sticazzi...mitico!!!

[FREAK9364]

00:06 =PERFECTION. Holy ****, simply amazing. 

[FMGuitarChannel]

Bravissimo Marco!!!

[RicardoTheTardo]

@FMGuitarChannel

"Bravissimo Marco!!!" wtf? Shut up stupid! YOU'RE NOT ITALIAN! :@

[Coverguy88]

OMG, your rack is brutal, whats in it?

[warhead1970]

those 27 momnerds home childs need to medical ear service right now.....

[NiekGrootmusic]

He reminds me of Fedor Emelianenko, with insane guitar skills

[biglu30]

Marco is doing work with that pinky of his

[44SuperShredder]

0:11 ...Enter the Neighboring Galaxy.

[gg5erick]

Dude..... When can I play like you? lol XD

[rengelgabriel]

@summitthescale X'DD HAHAHAHA

[Fluffypopcicle]

@summitthescale

his farts most smell like outer space so they can't smell all that bad.

[shardprime]

@summitthescale Gross.

[Dazzler59]

@summitthescale that all you have to say? no comment on the modes/scales employed or time signiature changes?

[summitthescale]

@Dazzler59 Oh come on dude, i had to ;) By the way, i'm pretty sure i've commented on this vid if not others of him praising his technique and style :] so don't worry, it's all in good fun!

[luigiperso]

@summitthescale , and yet even when he farts, he plays your ass off until the end of times.

[summitthescale]

excellent legato and runs. you never missed a single note. this is amazing.

[Scott1305]

This is why I am so bummed that the James LaBrie tour didn't happen!!!! By far one of my favorite guitarists out there today!!

[jvbalai]

OMG !!!!!!!!!!!

That was simply amazing. Your fingers where flying over the fretboard and it all make so much sense.

I wish i could play like that . Thanks for keeping me inspired to play the guitar

Great video !!

[44SuperShredder]

Dude...you are polished as all get out. I wish my pinky flowed that freely

[freakguitar1]

wow flawless.. and nice tone.

[JURGMANDR]

tbh i like marco more than petrucci

[ericpetrucci]

it's Dimarzio D-Sonic or Crunch Lab ??

answer marcoo pleaseeeeee!!

[Klopeee]

I think marco uses the D-Sonic

[ericpetrucci]

@Klopeee ... oh. thanks... its better the d-sonic for me.... what you think ???

[ericpetrucci]

@Klopeee ... it's better the d-sonic tone for me.... what you think ???

[Wainster]

I just stumbled across his solo project by accident! What a crying shame, there hasn't been another yet! There's Petrucci, Vai and Satch within Marco's talents...

27 dislikes WTF! If you don't like this kind of progressive playing, why view? Fekkin FREAKS!  I don't play, but I know talent when I see/hear it. Make 2011 a 'return to studio' year MS! 2 years gap in solo projects is, errr, hmmm, hard to deal with emotionally!

:)

[ciroguit]

grande marco

[suprjnt420]

fuck yea dude shred that shit!!!!

[deathscythekim729]

Yeah!! that was sweet!

[BOULDERDP]

Look ma, no hands (or at least too fast to see them)!

[jeffdisario]

ciao marco...ho visto che usi l'axe fx...volevo farti 1 domanda dato che non lo conosco molto....può essere utilizzato anche senza power amp?

[blumax68]

Interstellare!

[ajackp]

26 dislikes.......this is proof that not everyone should be entitled to an opinion

[BOULDERDP]

@ajackp I think his work is great. The dislikes probably come from jealousy. But then again I am more likely to listen to a Clapton slow blues CD than this guys music so maybe its just a style thing.

[CNEI1987]

@ajackp you can say that again friend some people are just very ignorant.

[FtKiVeR]

There's so much Petrucci in your playing :D

[Fluffypopcicle]

@FtKiVeR

that's true, but there seems to be more of an outer space vibe to marco's playing. when i hear it i feel like im in one of those super cool dreams where im wandering around a beautiful outer space.

[tekken3y0sh1m1tsu1]

MARCO'S FINGERS LOOK COOL WHEN HE SHREDS!! ^-^

[higher99]

key change Marco's style !

[nickmatthew]

Marco reminds me of Uncle Fester from the Adams Family... Hahahaha...

Cheers Marco! Fantastic playing...

[agusboy20]

maravilloso!!!

[MrBlackMorgoth]

I WANT G3 TOUR SATRIANI-VAI-SFOGLI

[Nikola85ZgCRO]

Grandma mary

[psychostew911]

Such incredible legato, my god!

[IMakeVideosYouWatch]

[shreddy666]

Amazing work Marco.  Effortlessly creative, fantastic groove & impeccable technique. An inspiration to us all. I hope you continue getting the recognition you deserve!

[thepanostube]

[gtrpimp76]

This dude owns!!!

[JHNigromante]

[lovepuremetal5]

00:07 - 00:24 was just mind blowing :O

[carlocecio]

Questo si chiama suonare. Poi sei pure Italiano. Complimenti.

[viciatul]

what guitar is that? someone can help me on this please? Marco... are you using the MM... petrucci model?... or something else?... Thanks.

[TommasoDiPietro]

@viciatul This is a Rush guitar :D

[TommasoDiPietro]

@viciatul Ops....Rash guitar XD

[leonardthecow]

He plays the cleanest solos I've ever heard. Wow.

[jeffdisario]

ciao marco, intanto complimenti per quello che stai facendo, veramente un ottimo lavoro!

potresti per caso dirmi che cosa stai usando in questo video apparte l'ampli e la chitarra? effetti pedali ecc... veramente un sound pazzesco!

grazie

jeff

[bradneedsmorebullets]

Does anyone know any bands that sound like this? I really like his tone and style and would like to hear it on a mainstream level lol

[dorianpod77]

@bradneedsmorebullets Maybe Symphony X?..

@bradneedsmorebullets you can try the lastest solo album by James LaBrie 'Static impulse' Sfogli is the guitar player on the album maybe you'll like it
