Even the quieter sections feel and sound BIG. As a lifelong metal fan I approve 😃
Negah Santos is like the queen of "exactly enough"
its absurd. i like to solo everyone out with each play through to see exactly what they add and where and Negah is ALWAYS just on the right amount. she knows when to come in, when to leave, when to add some accent and when to sit back. It's really crazy how auxiliary percussion can add so much but not even be on 99% of peoples radar
That slight moment between falling several hundred meters and jumping off a cliff is when Mark went back to the main riff after that insane solo. What a player.
Killer comment :). haha, for SURE!
For real. That shit's so good it feels like it was edited in post.
I love the moment at 3:00 where it sounds like Nêgah Santos replies to that rhythm Mark plays! Such great musicianship!
Every Cory Wong video notification gives a strange mixed feeling of "whaaat already? How did he..." and "Man..what a pleasure". Christmas every month with this beast ❤
"Are cOrY wOnG a JaM bAnD?
Every month? More like twice a week!
Mark is phenomenal, period. Full of soul, feelings, technique, accuracy, superb timing and incredible dynamics. I honestly think he is super underrated and imho among the top very best players alive currently. Please never change Mr Lettieri, you're awesome and unique!
I'm late to the party with Mark after hearing Fearless Flyers when they got together, but you're right, incredibly underrated.
His phrasing is really distinct and original and his tone selection is so nuanced and varied.
Well said. Completely agree.
Holy shitttttt Mark’s guitar’s tone is so goddamn good
Yep it's a baritone guitar.
@@inspektorsowa this is not a baritone guitar. This is his signature PRS Fiore, a traditional electric with HSS pickup configuration
Mark’s approach to melody and guitar tones is amazing and unique, very characteristic of his work. Loved this tune and execution!
Both of my current favorite guitar players together, it cannot get better!
He's nasty
He really created his own style. Those cats are the best ones
He's not a guitarist, he is a real musician... same for cory...
This song made me realize how much of a role Mark played in the sound of the We Like It Here album by Snarky Puppy. Do not know why I have missed it until now but I am glad I have been awoken.
For sure. I actually didn't know the guitarist by name, as that album was my first intro to SP and Cory Henry and Larnell Lewiskind of overshadowed a lot of what happened there, but after the first two bars of the song I googled "Is Mark Lettieri in Snarky Puppy because it was so identifiable. I went back and listened closer to the guitar on the whole album after my first listen of this song, and really appreciate what he was doing there. It's funny, because I am a guitar player, but when I heard Lingus for the first time I heard the keyboard and the drummer going nuclear, and after reading that the drummer learned the song on the flight over and then played like that under Cory Henry's nuclear solo, it was mainly what I was listening to in that tune. But clearly the great lick he plays really ties the whole song together in a very important way, and his playing throughout is superb. I mean, all those dudes are insane, to be fair
I also didn't realize he was a a founding member of the Fearless Flyers. Holy crap.
also don’t forget how much pressure was on the brass instruments after the solo 😂, they nailed it
I feel like Mark is one of the first non-country or non-surf guitarists to make his mark playing the low end of the guitar. Great track.
Nice observation.. Love that element of his playing. Mark can really rock a baritone too..
@@willpopemusic Agree! Anyone even remotely interested in Mark after this should check out his "Deep: The Baritone Sessions" albums
I always think of Greg Brown of Cake too
Tony Iommi
You should pay better attention.
I love that Cory’s able to keep the whole sound of the band at the forefront of our eat yet showcases the talent of his guests in such a precise and unique manner
One of the tightest, most in the pocket bands I've heard. Really incredible.
4:16 oh my goodness! The energy almost blew the roof off of that place! Insane. ♥️
Best part in this video
Petar echoing Marks phrase at 4:22 was... chef’s kiss
Dang. Cory and Mark. Two of the absolute best in the biz right now. Straight fire! This is my new jam.
Arrangement felt *very* Snarky Puppy, esp. in the beginning. Mark must've felt at home! This is a great track!
Not a bad thing for sure!
This is definitely a masterpiece that makes you feel powerful sensations!
I had this on in the background. I've got auto play on, this came on with me knowing what it is. I 100% presumed it was a snarky puppy track i'd never heard before haha.
Mark was already home with Cory around
Yes! It sounds like a blend of both snarky puppy and Cory Wong.
Mark has the most beautiful of phrasing and tone. He has that distinct sound and funk to it. Love it.
And i don’t think i have seen anyone that enjoy rhythm guitar as much as cory. Love it!!!!
Loved that solo. Thought I was listening to Scofield for a second.
I haven’t heard something THAT good in a long time 🤯
Mark is a perfect addition to the Wongverse. Funky, chops for days, and so rhythmic. Great collaboration! Thank you Cory!
The drummer’s keeping it tight! Well done, everyone!
Sweet mother of heavy funk, that song was slammin’”. This new album is going to be soooooo good
It's already out!
That Fiore is amazing! The energy in this track is incredible. Wong + Lettieri is a killer combo IMHO.
what a good Groove
Mark is such a star. Loved by the jazz people, funk people, rock people. Dude is Van Halen, Frank Gambale, and David Williams in one.
I think you must include some Jeff Beck influence in there too.
@@johnb7889 Look up his solo on Snarky Puppy's "Grown Folks" live at the 2018 Django Reinhardt festival. It has Beck written all over it.
this is ridicolously good. Mark taste on every note and phrase he plays is outstanding
Lol, the happy trumpet guy never stops grooving
These guys stand on the shoulders of the greats - and simultaneously forge new ground and in their own way stand alone... Frankly amazing
Big Snarky Puppy vibes while still being unmistakeably Cory & the Wongnotes
My first thought too. Had to scroll down to find this gem.
The only thing that gives it away is that crazy funk in between the heavy riff
the funk breakdowns on this whole album have been great, but the one on this song really speaks to my soul - love it!
What incredible choices Mark made within his playing and with the selection of the WHITE PRS FIORE!
LOL, yeah, she's a beaut', Eric! (I love my Amaryllis Fiore.) Amazing performance all around by everyone!
Mark's tone is insane!
4:10… wow what a transition out of that solo
that fuzzy baritone is NASTY 👏👏👏👏
Thanks! But it's not a baritone ;)
@@mjlettieri AH! Bamboozled and called out by the man himself 🤣
this is soooo good, you are all the best, what a fantastic musicianship. love it.
Im still impressed how good their live records sound, musicians and engineers are insanely good !
Started listening to funk again after years of not, it feels like I’m a kid in the 70’s with a transistor radio pressed to my ear! Love this stuff, and let me just say one word about Mark’s solo: whoa! Keep tearing it up guys, I’m all in.
If you've ever seen Dave Matthews Band live, this feels the same. Love it.
The snarky puppy vibes are ooozing from this song. Mark and Cory need to collab for a full album. Until then, flyers 3 is so LIT!
Dope performance. It is great to hear a Fender Strat in convo with a PRS Fiore....they complement each other
Probably the first time i see both bassist and drummer left handed
One of my favorite guitar solos out there. The way he ends it is just so incredibly musical. Love his feel.
Damnation!!! THAT WAS ABSOLUTELY OTHERWORLDLY!! 🤟👏👍
Not even close.
I don't know if anyone will enjoy this as much as Lampley did.
He's my favorite to watch during these songs 🤘
Concrete is an accurate description for what I'm feeling after Mark's final lead phrases - Rock hard 💦
Amazing arrangement
Ew
Fine, but we didn’t need that emoji…
Cory is such an awesome supporting band member and an amazing rhythm guitarist. This whole vibe is so good
far out, as well as a grin-inducing groove, what a triumphant guitar solo
The energy of this song cannot be matched. 💯
Well I'm in my 50s and was getting fairly dissolutioned with new music. In short I found dirty loops and Corey Wong and now Mark. They're all fairly different but one thing they all share besides wonderful chops is exquisite musicality. Pure joy.
Heard of Snarky puppy? You should definitely check them out if you haven't
Oh my freaking Gawd!! This is fN nutz!! Soooooo goood!
Magical things happen any time Mark and Cory get together. So good.
3:58 holy crap Mark is on fire with this run
OH HELL YEAH!!
The question is, did you record a reaction before posting the above comment? 😂
Can we please get a “tour” video of Petar’s gear?! I need sizes, heads, hacks and all. He has become one of my favorite players.
This band is fabulous
That climax at the end was... climatic!! 💣💥
Mark is as good as it gets. His playing literally keeps me on the edge of my seat wondering what he's gonna do next. I love going on that journey!
Great observation!
Very well said sir
I just keep coming back to this..so good
Ok the ending was amazing!!
Wow! Absolutely stellar. Definitely getting some Jeff Beck vibes with that solo (among other inspirations that I can't think off the top of my head, lol). So amazing!
Beck would play higher....
@@levondarratt787 true, but I meant just the style of playing in general. I like Mark Lettieri's slightly deeper sound.
1:57 Nice drumstick spin, Negah!
This is as funky as funk could ever get. Dayummmmm
Insane solo. Simply a genius.
That lightshow on the floor is super cool too
4:31 holy crap that lick rules
Props to the tech staff for the delightful lighting effects.
Props to Cory-he knows how to lay back and out! Giving plenty of space for Mark. What a Pro! Total killer track!! Thanks!
beautiful phrasing, lovely use of octaves.
Mark is effortlessly brilliant.
Right!!....and frankly I've been looking for that same attribute in myself all day...I could be jealous like 8 billion other people...but I tend to be grateful that I was here in his time.
PRS really built the perfect guitar for this guy. That solo was insane.
Wow!
This groove is insane !
This is fykking AMAZING.
Dude that was the nast. Thanks for giving me some hope in all things man made.
Anything / everything Mark plays is just GOOD!!
Horn line reminds of the "grooveline" riff. dope.
Authentic, dynamic, thoughtful music is still alive and well. This music made my brain better.
This is the best fucking instrumental in the last 20 years
Not even close.
Its rare that an instrumental gives me goosebumps, this one did!
You guys are almost against the natural world. God bless you all. I'm so blessed by this. 🎉❤
TIGHT!!
Wow... Cory/Mark un'accoppiata vincente!!!! Grandissimi!!! Grande Groove, Grande Funk! Grazie 1000
Verissimo. Musicisti veri.
Shout out to the lighting engineers on this one!
These guys shine without light I bet...
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!!
That middle where it fades out and Cory holdin down the groove 🤌🤌
4:12 to about 4:20 is insane; and the whole piece of music is great!
def hearing mark's influences in the horns also! great tune!
*euuuuuggggh* that Cmaj7 in the B section 💖
Speechless...
Absolutely RIDICULOUS!
I like the live format. Real musicians. Neat.
This show is criminaly underrated. Man that's so goooood !
Cory that was so good. You’ve just been turning it up every week. Such a crazy time that you’re making music…right now. I’m starting to think Funk might be the answer!
Lampley is such a vibe on this one
Are you kiding me!!!!!!!!!!!!
No!!!! It’s frikkin awesome, right??!! 😆👍
Round Mark totally randomly playing a Spotify radio, fell in love with his baritone stuff, crazy groove
Man Cory and Co, you all never cease to amaze! Thanks for another killer jam
Thank you, shared!
Why have I only just found out about these guys? Loving everything I hear!
Feels good 🔥
somebody here listened to John Scofield, for sure! What a great colabs you are doing Wong!
