I forget where I heard this, but "your left hand is what you know, your right hand is who you are"

[Lectric_Blue]

So much patience and respect from Martin here. Mark didn't want to 'teach' Martin or to patronise him in any way BUT... Martin was trying to slow him down so us mere mortals could follow. Martin waited for a gap and then slipped it in where he could. Great interview technique Martin, well done. Mark, your playing is emotional even when you're doodling!

[TheShantax]

Martin I love your humility! A genius learning from another genius!!!

Damn, I never thought a rhythm lesson would rock my world. 6 minutes in and guitar us already in hand. Thank you for these lessons

Mr Lettieri is quite possibly the grooviest guitar player in the history of music.

Man, I have you to thank for introducing me to Mark with the Purple Rain cover video, his solo had me absolutely floored and I’ve been a fan ever since. Really cool to see you two just jamming and sharing knowledge like this, great video Martin!

Mark is a master at mute control on the strings.

[MrPhrygianmaniac]

I think Mark wrote about 6 or 7 songs that can instantly go on an album here hahahaha, amazing ! Martin, this is excellent stuff, thank you so much for doing this and please keep'em coming !

Mark is phenimenal. I first saw hm in Purple rain and his solo brought tears to my eyes.

[shorerocks]

That's in a nutshell what absolutely fascinates me in Marks playing. Just. Wow.

[johnramsey]

This was ABSOLUTELY FUN AND INSIGHTFUL!! Lots of great musical ideas instead of widdly widdly monotony. Thank you Martin and Mark for all of this brilliant expertise.

I have just started your Guide to Picking Masterclass. There is so much in rhythm. My God. Let's hope I learn the most out of it.

Martin, thanks for sharing this! Mark is like you! A freaking amazing musician!

[swamygee]

This is like watching two highly evolved people having an intelligent conversation, and you're just an ape watching them, and trying to make sense. But I can still appreciate it.

[JorgeOreMusic]

Awesome stuff!...it's great to analyze and break things down this way as sometimes we tend to do things on guitar as second nature but our learning of "why" and "how" we do things increases as we dig further into our playing. I really enjoyed this, made me think about my own rhythmic guitar playing and added some extra ideas to keep adding spice to my chops.
I also like the respect you two show for each other as musicians...it's always good to have that kind of relationship and camaraderie without feeling like it's a competiton of who's better or who knows more...just playing and sharing ideas and growing together...it's what music is all about... Thanks to both of you for this video!

[Calbertone]

Mark is a cool dude! easygoing, modest and real mojo!!!

[patpogoallroundguitarist]

Appreciate alot that you are open to other guitarists approaches at your level, and not let the ego dictate instead. Even if it's a tenth percent of someones concept you take with you in your "backpack" that's valuable. And you are probably very aware of that too Martin, otherwise you wouldn't take these lessons.
