  • Hey Mark, brilliant playing. Bang on with Johns astonishing playing as always. James Birkett would be proud. Do you know James, he teaches guitar at the Sage....your neck of the woods....

  • LOL , am speachless... incredible! fajnie basiawes, i swear =)

  • Mark beutifal teqnique those are tough lines ;Ive been playing my whole life and it would take me months to woodshed that stuff keep it coming also my all time favorite jazz guitarist is lenny breau I love all the jim halls wes coryell etc but lenny dos it for me

  • We have 1,000 excuses to explain why we can't play John McLaughlin. Hats off to Mark, you took the time to learn showing a level of commitment that is beyond most of us. I choose use Mark's video as inspiration and realize that, it can be done! Thanks for inspiring me Mark! Vittorio from Singapore

  • with such long fingers ideal to play guitar. But also: respect - why hiding? is there some more from you?

  • Boring to watch someone copy and completely pointless except for learning and developing. Should be done in private. I don't get this at all.

  • It's just a cheap Yamaha - cost about £225. Plays really well but is a bit light.

  • ps - love the clip. What kind of guitar os that?

  • The other thing is note choice. Alot of guys are just running up and down scales as fast as they can, or playing mechanical patterns. Impressive like 500 push ups would be or whatever.

    But if you're faced with having to come up with coherent melodies over one complex chord after another, then you'd better be good!

  • Yea I play, otherwise I wouldnt make comments on stuff I dont know anything about haha. Oh yeah I definitely think its good to show virtuosity, but just with a purpose and maybe sometimes just for flash. You can get more out of listening to Wes Montgomery tasty lines then listening to really fast illogical stuff. Mclaughlin has a good mix between melodic and virtuosic stuff though.
