Mark Tremonti and his Guitar! part1

[merkury06]

His attack is razor sharp. 

[Jaso0n1986]

I have his guitar strap. Yes that sounds lame but its awesome lol!!!

[iEpicFail247]

i just jizzed in my pants :O

[meer8]

I hate when people criticize Mark's playing. He worked for years to get where he is now by himself, with no teaching. Mark is the best all around that I have seen, buy the instructional DVD and you will know.

[carlopires36]

steffen schakinger, guthrie govan......you must see these guitar player

[carlopires36]

very fast only!! Feeling ? Hummm .....

[Deadlezz]

@carlopires36 lol...what do you expect if you catch someone preshow warming up?

[savagechefdaze]

He is a VERY nice guy. I met him a few years back when Steve Vai and Joe Satch were in town at Guitar Center. He was the main reason I started to play back in the day when Creed first came around.

[dylantallguy]

Nice chin-strap beard! how can I grow one of those?

[ChrisSoldato]

Just let your hair grow in naturally then just shave it down to follow your jawline.

[MrMostWanted146]

Paul Red Smith guitars 4 eva =)

best guitars ;)

[foofighter0724]

Ohh yeah dude got my self a PRS SE a couple months ago it aint the best model out there but its the best guitar I have played period haha

[Brandter]

Same here, got the same guitar. Not the best PRS, but damn its good :).

[Rockbignole]

Mark is great

[jp6l6]

It is as always a question about taste.

I like Mark Tremonti's guitar a lot but not when he plays it himself.

[filionka]

He's just playing his practice amp! His real guitar sound is much better!!

[philbertfwog]

No, his tone at all times is horrendous. He makes PRS sound rubbish.

[IJIIKY9192]

got 1 thing to say..well two..SWEET LEGATO....REALLY LOW ACTION

[meer8]

@IJIIKY9192 I agree with you on the first thing, but a guitar is supposed to be setup for optimal playing condition, there is a lot more than just action involved here.

[kidrockyearrrh23]

there is no other guitarist out there like mark he is 1 of a kind his style is flawless, his execution is pefect, his melodys and song writing is simply unbelivible, he is a real musician and anybody that comes on here looking for tremonti vids then bashing him is just fucking jelous, mark is a really nice down to earth guy, hes an inspiration to me and he is my idol. what a guy

[Ritchie09100]

Couldn't put it better myself.Mark has been my inspiration since i was a kid and still is to this day.Rock on!

[nhdeitmers]

@kidrockyearrrh23

TRUE :)

[MrManson94]

@kidrockyearrrh23 sounds like someone has a crush on Mark

[zin11]

@kidrockyearrrh23 Totally agree, anyone who can play that crazy fast all over the fret but still writes awesome riffs that go with the rest of the music is just an amazing guitarist

[patinhiselement]

What a gun!

[lordofrandomness4]

freakin love the riff at 1:13

[Steeldragon886]

And what the hell is wrong with speed if it's done right. Go fuck yourselves for those who complain about it. Its fucking metal and it takes a great deal of discipline, accuracy (ultimately talent) If you dont like the speed go listen to John Mayer. Tremonti has good phrasing, vibrato, and putting a little bit of some speed picking or legato every now and then animates the solos more.

[skrape110]

that is extremely well-put

very much so

[Formetheus]

I totally agree with what you said, but I definitely wanna point out that John Mayer can play some damn fast blues riffs, and is a pretty fuckin' respectable guitarist himself.

[Steeldragon886]

yea I totally agree. I probably should have used a better example. Perhaps Jack Johnson haha

[cometolife]

wow, all of you guys are retards, look at the man! he's getting the blood flowing.

mark tremonti is all about feel nowdays.

go listen to blackbird or brand new start.

very well rounded...he is leading a whole new generation of guitarists.

[KSB8828]

@cometolife

Agreed! I think Tremonti is the best guitarist to come out of the alternative/modern rock scene. There are so few modern rock guitarists who can even play half as well

[LoyalAngelKisses]

this is just warm up people! i mean i do agree that speed isnt everything, his songs arn't all fucking Throught Fire and Flames! AND HAVE LOTS OF FUCKING THOUGHT PUT INTO THEM!! this guy taught himself how to play guitar, and to come out sounding like this is fucking impressive i tell you!!  so how about we children sit the fuck back, relax and get off of Marks back because his hard work does NOT deserve to be talked about like that!! ROCK ON MARK, KEEP THE SPIRIT ALIVE!!

[codyvidito]

actually he's taken lessons in the last few years..but yeah he's still pretty fucking good for only a short amount of lessons

[mrpinkice]

i agree, he went to music school as a little kid but they didnt teach him what he wanted to learn so he practised by ear. i totally agree with u....

[LoyalAngelKisses]

its called SHUT THE HELL UP YOU STUPID DUMB FUCKS! this is a vid that was taken with a shitty camera folks! it has nothing to do with his guitar or his fucking tone! ive been listening to his guy for years, and if you think he has no soul, you obviously have never seen any videos one him besides this. GET A FUCKING LIFE, WILL YA?!!

[prstremontiab]

how does mark tremonti actually play that fast and know what hes playing its amazing

[moneyquickeasy]

Who the hell cares if he's playing fast? Really. It sounds like shit. Besides, relatively speaking, this isn't really that fast...

[prstremontiab]

it is fast  hes an awesome guitarist i bet you cant do it

[moneyquickeasy]

Wow. You think if a guitarist can play fast they're just instantly some super, duper awesome guitar god, huh? Well let me tell you something. Speed doesn't mean shit. It doesn't prove a damn thing. And, no. I can not play that fast. But I am glad I can't. I'd take soulful playing over mindless shredding any day.

[attwarren]

tremonti is still a mediocre guitarist. yes he has skills and is fast but will never be one of the greats 1 because hes just got no soul when he plays and 2 he has god awful tone no phrasing or anything. also his sound is garbage.

[moneyquickeasy]

I absolutely agree with you.

[moneyquickeasy]

This sounds like shit...

[acidosmosis]

Then go back to your Pantera.

[moneyquickeasy]

But, Pantera sounds like shit, too...

[DimaNewBorn]

You sounds like shit

[moneyquickeasy]

Oh, Snap! What a GREAT comeback! :O

[aarontenderwarrior]

Hmm, as for this "could Mark solo like that in Creed?" stuff... have you actually LISTENED to Creed? I mean... the guy came up with some mind-numbing riffs, even with Creed, even if they aren't "solos"...

but in the end... does it even matter? He was good then, and he's good now... I certainly hope he would get better over time...

[skrape110]

that's right man

even his CLEAN guitar work in creed was just brilliant

while his shredding is impressive, this man is an all-around prodigy of song-writing, technique, and melody

[fodacvc]

that legato reminds me so much of Joe Satriani...that's nice!

[hllstraberc]

yeah at the beginning it kinda sounds like surfing with the alien lol

[sameelatif]

that little finger has a mind of its own

[eroticblack]

oh my God!!! Look at the speed by which he moves across the neck. just have a look at the wayward one solo and you'll know what i mean!

[MuDvAyNw]

what a beast

[Dhruvva]

Wow. Tremonti is pretty cool. He never did this kinda stuff with creed...

[slipknotkid19]

ya, you can really tell that creeds lead singer was holding the band back

[incubrian]

yeah it was scott stapp AND creed's bullshit record label that was ruining this kind of beautiful creativity you see here

[EnigmaBeats2K8]

Well, yes, Scott WAS holding the band back a lot, but Mark actually couldn't solo so well during his Creed era. He said so in a magazine, but I can't remember which one though.

[skrape110]

all that was, was modesty

he could shred for a long time before alter bridge

even the little hidden solo at the end of 'inside us all' is wicked

[EnigmaBeats2K8]

Don't get me wrong, Tremonti could solo in his Creed era, but nothing as complex as what he does with Alter Bridge.

As for the solo at the end of Inside Us All, it was mostly just back-and-fourth speed patterns, so yea, it's cool and all, but nothing too special.

[ReasonsWhyBand]

what combo amp is he using?

[uncleslash777]

i think its a johnson millenium. seen he has it in one or two of his other video's as well.

[incubrian]

nah, if you look at :42, that looks like a fender cyber-twin to me

[incubrian]

actually you know what man, i'm pretty sure you're right. i was unfamiliar with the johnson millennium.

[Sandro666PL]

I saw him in Mesa Boogie catalogue, so he might use their stuff. ^^

[metalgear20]

wtf man! he can shred. omg that's hella tight. he's rock but i wish creed back

[soulsniper7]

i do 2 but i dont want alter bridge to go away lol

[Derrick7777777]

ill replace him in creed.

[lowedt]

alter bridge kills creed.

[jetty1989]

Whats up?! Mark tremonti here! So fuckin cool.

[dimwitpickle]

technically hes pretty awesome. personally i think he could be more creative with his solos

[27bowman]

opinions very!!

[overshadowx]

opinions vary... Tremonti is the bomb.

[joeybignell1]

i couldnt agree with you more frankthetank39

[H2J41]

agreed i know ppl in love w guitar who dont even know him im like he is the best now the only one bringing true rock to music

[drumtarist]

does anybody have a better quality version of this video?

[SDGuitarEXP]

You know, I love Tremonti and I think he is a great player...but good lord that guitar was going so sharp at the end there. I'm gonna go ahead and recommend he use some thicker strings if he's gonna tune that low. It almost hurt to listen to.
