If you're new to the channel, please consider subscribing. I joked about it in this video but a simple click of the button on your end has a big impact on whether or not youtube shows my videos to a larger audience. I really do appreciate your support either. Don't forget to hit the like button and leave a comment. I respond to 100% of all comments.

Lastly, a big THANK YOU to my buddy Rob Brun for the inspiration to do this video. Rob is a full time artist but you wouldn't know it by his bass playing. He totally crushed on this one. Thanks so much for watching. Take care and be well! -Mark

Great job. This is as good as America's version. Dewey Bunnell, Dan Peek, and Gerry Buckley would be proud.

Takes me back to driving through the desert in Spain as a student. Awesome.

I watched this shortly after I got the notification (because it's America), but woke in a cold sweat last night when I realized I'd neglected to leave a comment. Which is a tragedy because this video richly deserves it. It also deserves *all* the thumbs, but YouTube limits me to one. As enjoyable and instructive as your videos can be, Mark, it's been nearly as good just to see your evolution. Sure, they've always been good, which is why I decided to 'get in on the ground floor' as a subscriber, but you're taking them to new places with your growing production skills. This might be the best 8 minutes and 56 seconds I spend all day!

Wow that was perfect. One of my first concerts back in about 1977 was America. That's when I got a Harmony acoustic guitar are started to learn to play. Thanks

Dude - we got America back again too! I grew up on this one. Super nice to hear it. I will get out the 12 string tonight.

One of my favourite driving songs. Inspired to try on my Ovation 12 string now.

One of those songs that if you stop playing it, it just keeps on going. Lol.

All likes and no thumbs down?! I think that’s a first on YouTube lol. Just can’t dislike pure musicianship! Y’all did America proud for sure

Hey, Mark, Rob, this is just awesome! Such a great harmony, congratulations! And many thanks for such a detailed lesson. I don't know about different countries, but in Brasil, because of Santa Cecília, today Nov 22nd is the Musician's day. So God bless we all with good music, peace and friendship!
