Mark, you'll always be my idol

@robMD2010 Very well put. I don't even use standard tuning anymore. Sometimes I'll go to E flat for covers but, alternate tunings (especially open ones) really inspire me in ways that standard E can't begin to. Much like Mark, I find that the sounds they have to offer are a better reflection of who I am and what I want to convey as a guitarist. It opens up a whole new dimension to creativity and writing.

E é assim que se faz, crianças... =)

He doesn't talk about the theory and chord types, he refers to the riffs with certain emotions, i guess that's how all the songs he writes are so relatable to certain emotions

[LukzHenrike]

OMG...... this is fucking awesome!

[blenderguitarluver]

hey my band is thinking on doing this song do you think you could split tho's bass notes away from the high. we will be very greatful

[eroticblack]

Amazing guitar!

@ajb2k9 nah mate tis a half a step lower than that :)

[Nemitorsis]

Man! His music and creations always have a feeling-attached to it. And to me that's the greatest form of music. Its not only the notes that are ringing, its the emotions as well.

:p

Respect brother!

@EvilHippy38 Thats is true. I do the same, as Mark says "its all pretty and good" and mostly important, simple. These are some heartwarming tones you can ear from a guitar and this video is a clearly example of that. Hope you'll have the same impact as them, and forward to ear some of your tunes.
