Seeing those kids get their minds blown when Mark hands the guitar sure brought a tear to my eye. Mark is such a wonderful human.
😭
as a dad and a guitar player i 100% got choked up
He's incredible in person. I've had the chance to meet him several times and he's nothing but gracious and an awesome guy.
Did me too. Im not a fan of his music but I think I am of him. My girlfriend loves him. Lol
I want that feeling!!!!! But they only make righty's!!!!! Affordable, if I get a Tremonti model, $5500.00 or more....
It's absolutely IMPOSSIBLE not to feel inspired by this guy. He is a true genius of our era.
not only is he a monster player/ songwriter, but such a caring and gracious human being who cares deeply about his very own fans! thats what you call a guitar hero ladies and gents......
❤️❤️❤️💯
The bird inlays of Mark's should be black. And call it Black Bird series.
That's actually pretty genius. I would say it should be a limited run though.
Jesse Claborn but not roasted
Hmmm...
Loooove the black birds on a maple neck.
Hey I will SHELL OUT!!!! WHAT About abolinee birds!!! They will be amazing as well!!!!
Mark Tremonti is the Real Deal!! He is so nice and down to earth. I have the PRS MT15 and I LOVE IT!! I cant even run it past 3 in Metal clubs where we play it is so loud. Thanks Mark for developing gear that is affordable and sounds absolutely fantastic!!
Justin Roark sweet amp but good luck with cleans! It just wants to rock the fuck out!
The clean channel is actually amazing..
And that's why we love that man!!😁🤘
My first tube amp!!! It’s incredible
@@Kabz8 seriously though the cleans blew me away. sometimes if im not playing metal ill plug the strat into it with a tube screamer flip that switch push the clean channel it sounds some what like a fender twin somewhat. ive got a lot of headroom to work with though as mine runs through a 4x12 which btw a 4x12 on the distorted channel sounds massive. killer amp its my favorite sold one of my other amps cause it didnt get used anymore now im down to the mt15 and a bugera t5
One of the best guitar players of our generation. Crazy that we are alive at the same time
@@davidfaustino4476 agreed.
Joe Pass was much better. Wouldn’t it be better to see him?
Agree, love Mark style, the best!
That's the same thing ppl said about Vivaldi or Beethoven or Mozart and ppl will say the same thing about their favorite artists in 500 years.
Best damn commercial I've ever seen. Mark is my favourite guitarist in the world right now. A nice guy who won, and continues to win, yet so humble. He's an inspiration.
What a class act. I don't know much about Tremonti or his music but when a musician stands behind a product because of it's quality and not just because it has his name on it and even talks about the more affordable versions... he just seems sincere. Kudos to PRS for designing a guitar for this artist and for making more affordable versions that are still high quality. I don't own a PRS guitar but I've played a few and I believe it's my next guitar if/when I can afford a US made model.
I was at the O2 when he gave away one of his guitars. It’s great to see a crowd cheer for a stranger having something mind-blowing happen to them. Mark’s a great guy.
Mark is an amazing musician and an even better human being.
The greatest player of the last 20 years. Works his arse off. Always gives a great show and a genuinely nice humble guy.
Well the last 20 years ain't saying much. I've never been impressed by this guy's playing, nor understood why anybody else would be.
@@tmorelli1982 then why would you watch a video of him?
@@wolfbrother2474 because it popped up and I like PRS guitars
@@tmorelli1982 stop with your arrogance. You only sound tone deaf in doing so
@@tajbirsingh5205 wtf are you babbling about
What a great guy and a beast of a player
His feel. The bluesy rock side mixed with metal infused riffs. The drone notes of an alternate tuned guitar. He's inspired me to push myself as a guitarist. Awe-inspiring. Hands down, my favorite guitarist.
Es un ser maravilloso por dentro y por fuera. Lo amo! Espero verte con tu banda en Buenos Aires pronto. Necesito admirarte❤❤❤
So mine didn't come from a live show, but the first guitar I owned was a Tremonti SE that I won from the band, via AlterBridge.com, back in 2004 when they were first starting up. I had no idea how to play, but I tinkered with it and played around, and got together with some friends and started a shitty little garage rock/metal band, and it got my feet wet. That band didn't last, but I did, and I'm still here 15 years later making music. I've gone down a more acoustic path, but I still have that SE in its case and I still cherish my memories of getting up on stage with it with that first band, and learning what it felt like to be on stage making music and be on the other side of that exchange that I'd spent so many years watching from the floor. My eternal thanks and gratitude go out to Mark and the rest of Alter Bridge for giving that guitar away - never would have gotten started if I hadn't won that SE back in the day!
I was lucky enough to receive a guitar that was played on stage by Mark last September in NYC Playstation Theater. PRS SE custom is amazing to play and the green burst on it is gorgeous!!!
What an amazing dude. My hero. Inspired me in so many ways.
The greatest modern rock guitar player in my opinion, and one of the greatest songwriters of all time.
I remember listening to Blackbird for the first time. The solo cut me in half. I lost a good friend when we were 22. That song reminds me of him. The solo expresses how I feel when I think about it (if that makes any sense). The Tremonti sound resonates with me. I've seen AB and Tremonti five times collectively. That Tremonti sound made every show IMO.
A USA Tremonti is still the dream guitar for me. Has been for about the last 15+ years. It will be mine, oh yes it will be mine.
One day...
Soon precious, very soon.
You will not be disappointed.
But even just get an SE Tremonti and toss his signature pups in it. It would be killer. And not totally break the bank.
I feel you so hard on this.
Mark is just great! His solo band is his best stuff IMHO!
I finally got a PRS S2 Single cut and everything about my playing changed. Tremonti changed my life in the late 90s and early 2000's and I'll forever be grateful. Music dose heal the soul... everything from a brutal low E to a screaming high E!!!! Forever a Fan of PRS and Tremonti 🤘😎🤘
I run 2 PRS guitars paired with Marks MT15 and a Mesa cab. Absolutely massive tone from that amp!
My Rig is a PRS Clint Lowery SE, Mark Tremonti Wah, Horizon Precision Overdrive, Phase 90, PRS MT15 amp with Mesa 6L6 tubes, Orange vertical 2x12 can with Neo CreamBacks, and a Horizontal Mesa 2x12 with Vintage 30’s. Best sounding setup I’ve ever had!
Guitarist I play with his rig is a PRS 245, Jerry Cantrell wah, Horizon Precision Overdrive, MXR Micro Flange, PRS MT15 revoiced with EL34 tubes, Marshall vertical 2x12 with Celestion 70/80’s, and a EVH Horizontal 2x12 with G12H speakers.
KS Millennial Seedsman what tubes does the MT-15 come with stock?
T P Ruby 6l6 tubes. We found the mesa 6l6 have a little more bite to them.
KS Millennial Seedsman nice. Would you say it would be good for replicating Adam Jones’s tone?
As big as he is, he might still be very underrated. I don’t know we’ve ever seen or heard as much of him as he can do. I think we’ve heard what’s been required of the songs he’s writing. I imagine he has tons of music sitting on a few hard drives somewhere that contain music that might be better than some or most of what we’ve heard. Maybe even his best personal works are there. But that’s not what was required of the music he was putting out. Class act, humble, gear nerd, undoubtedly one he of the best guitarists anyone has ever seen
OOOOOOOOOOOH YEAH! The internet needs more videos of Mark! I wish they'd come to Turkey at least once...
Seen em in spokane last weekend....3 hrs clinic with mark....mindcrusher....thank you mark for your time ...insight and wisdom....
Mark Tremonti has some of the best riffs I’ve ever heard
One of the nicest human beings on the planet, and such a monster player!!!! Mark deserves every accolade he receives.
Met Mark Tremonti in Chicago after the show! Most humble guitarist ever and wonderful human being,gave me his signed guitar pick, these guys sound clean yet punchy on stage and musicianship at highest level. They are the next Metallica in terms of the musical impact.
How come I just saw this...... lol. Mark is still my fav!!!! Since i was 12 years old
You inspired so many with your music. It is actually insane. No body talks about your influence in modern guitar players..
mark tremonti one of my guitar idols! and my love for PRS guitars is because of him in the first place!
Salute to the man who made me want to be a guitarist!
5:19 pause and screenshot to get the tunings the songs are played in, some may not be the same as the record but sure as hell helpful to know those that are
How legendary to be given a guitar Mark Tremonti just beat the shit out of, literally right off his shoulder into your hands.
What a guy.
Down to earth and just real. Never lose sight of who you are.
Those birds were made for Blackbird. PRS and Tremonti are the match made in heaven!
This man and all of his band peers are a godsend to us musicians. Such an inspiring video and it makes me want to pick up my guitar instantly. What an honor it must be to be represented by PRS. Definitely the most important guitarist in my life.
The most influential Guitarist in the world in the last 20 years!! PRS was Should be proud they grabbed him when they did
Actually it is his signature model BECAUSE it’s his favorite guitar and not the opposite.
That’s why I love this brand 🤟🏼🔥
It was in Birmingham that Mark gave that kid his guitar, such a touching moment that I remember watching from the seating block opposite!
I was also at that show and it was a great moment! It's the kind of thing that hopefully will make a lifelong player out of someone.
This is why we love you Mark Tremonti!!!!
A guitar hero, right there!
These guys are great human beings
Mark, what a GREAT way to motivate people, even KIDS to play guitar by giving them away! I am a PRS lover and I can relate! ENJOY and....Keep on rockin‘🎸🎸🎸👍🏻😎
The aesthetic and tonal beauty of PRS is unmatched. Would kill for a Custom 24-08
It was a life changing moment for my son, he plays that PRS everyday x Wembley 2019
Never a fan of his music but I've only ever seen his name on quality product and that alone is respectable.
Jesus christ i love this guy, he is the most awesome guy in heart.
If I can play just 1% as good as mark, I’ll die a happy man 🤘🏼
The MT15 is amazing for the money! It's the little sidekick to my Mesa Boogie JP-2C and it punches WAY above it's weight. The perfect amp to bring to jams and practices :) In fact I sold my old Boogie Mark V:25 since the MT15 is just as portable and does a fantastic job for a fraction of the price. Kudos to PRS for making such phenomenal gear, I've been playing PRS guitars since 2005 and I'll never be without one :)
I have both the MT15 and the Mesa Mark 5 25 and I love them both, but for the money the MT15 is great value
Mark is a hero and his contribution to the modern rock/metal world can’t be overstated. It would be good to see him play an SE model as part of his regular touring rig
I would cry too if I won one!!! Genuine tears!! Amazing story and video!!!
I truly respect this man he has such a big heart and you know he’s passionate abt everything he does and cares about the world yk. He doesn’t see himself as the best even though he is 😂
Tremonti was always such an awesome musician. Creed halftime show in Cowboys stadium is alltime fave halftime shows, simple, played with Diamond precision. 🍀😎🎸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🏁🏁🏁
Class Act! My PRS Core “Yellow Tiger” comes in Monday from Sweetwater! 🤘🤘🤘
I Love my MT15 and is absolutely amazing through my homemade 2x12 with english V30’s. Cannot Wait for the MT100!! May have to sell my MESA to get....OH Well!!! Got to meet Mark is San Antonio about a year ago and what a genuinely nice dude and he is the one that finally inspired me at the age of 52 (now 58) to learn to play. Loving it.
I like how people forget it's a sig amp and it's just a standard in high gain smaller amps for people, not just Tremonti fans.
Man... I'm waiting for the day PRS will give Myles a signature model!
I'm not the biggest fan of most of his music but he's a good dude, a legit player and has awesome taste in gear and tone.
Mark is such a nice dude and killer player!🤘🏻
I have SE Tremonti and MT15, that’s a killer combination for the money 🤟
Mark is the most humble dude and a great instructor, as well. I feel grateful to have met him before the world started to go haywire! Feel free to check out my rig rundown videos with Mark! 🙌🏻
Amazing documentary ... I love it !!
Great to see Mark giving back to fans and make their dreams come true - Thank You Mark. for all you do!!
Mark and Santana are the reason I play PRS. He's one of my influences. A great musician and even better person
I've been playing guitar for about 40 years but didn't try a PRS until about 2009. By far my favorite guitars. I own a couple custom 24s, an Artist Package custom 24 and a 7 string. They are addicting to play and to me the perfect instrument.
Just so totally awesome - sitting here tearing up so happy for them
WTG Mark & Crew -- truly great to watch
Go Mark and PRS! Giving the guitars to those kids is awesome!
I've got a PRS Custom 22 SE and it is phenomenal. Similar price point as my MIM Fender Strat...but twice as good, in terms of quality..across the board! I've also got Gibson Les Paul Tribute which has a satin (re: almost non existent!) finish. While I strongly prefer the double cut body shape of PRS ;and just in general as well),I prefer the tones of the single cut Les Paul.
All this is getting to... I couldn't bring myself to buy a Tremonti sig, but if he picked me out and gave it to me...I have a feeling it would become my number one! Just...the PRS playability + phenomenal finishes...combined with the single cut LP kind of ballpark tones. Together, I'll bet it would be dynamite!
PRS are the best hand made guitars in my opinion. their violin double cut aways, headstocks, neck inlays are a work of art! they feel and play the best out of everything else ive held n ive held n played them all, theres no comparison.. they are exstreamly consistent and their quality control department are obviously doing their jobs bc ive never picked up 1 that was off.. not 1. the other expensive leading brands are all over the place, every single 1 feel and play different even when their the same model n thats just pathetic and unexcusable when yr charging the money they are. as of most of society, i dont have 4 or 5 grand to lay down for a guitar but if i did it would definitely be layed down on a P.R.S. guitar! absolutely 100% their not just a guitar,their also works of beauty!
I love mine. Wonderful guitar, Company and Amazing guitar player. Love that you give them away!!
Great stuff Mark and PRS!!
Just picked up a new 35th Anniversary Core 10 Top. Another incredible guitar from PRS!
Such a great guy!!!! Love this band 4 Life!!!
Mark is my fav guitarist
mark is the best... he´s my guitar hero 🤘🤘🤘
Amazing musician and such a humble dude. Giving away his guitar like that is awesome, he has probably made more future musicians by doing that than he realizes.
Mark Tremonti makes me proud to be Generation-X.
Oh my God. So cute surprise from mark..
I love that first minute of him explaining his experience with buying his first PRS. That's very similar to me. I actually put mine on layaway and paid it off over a couple months. And I couldn't be happier that I did. Best guitar I've ever played. I am 100% a PRS guy now.
World Class band !! Great music and big hearts for bringing someone a once in a life time memory !!
I miss those moments that Mark talked about playing soccer and being on stage !! I wish I could have had my son see me play !! Now I due to medical issues I am having trouble playing guitar. Life is short, live, love each day to the fullest !!
I like anything that has Tremonti in it
what a lovely story behind , i hope see u one day my champion
Wonderful video. Thanks for sharing.
One of the modern greats 🤘
Awesome PRS guitar,I loveit
Amazing brother! Rock on 🤘🏻
He is my Guitar Hero 👍
He truly is the goat. I'm convinced. I have always been but this guy is incredible.
I love mark
Ur my hero mark👍🏻! I have your SE(students edition) model and it satisfies my sound( more than) . Thanks 4 the opportunity mark and PRS! My dream is to possess or at least have the American version but that’s too far a stretch even for my dreams! Rock on 🤘 mark tremonti and PRS” the greatest guitar in the universe”! Love from Mizoram !
Amazing man 🎸🎤❤
One more reason I love prs I have the SE custom 24 huge respect for mark giving them away at the shows I can’t believe it what a great person God bless you mark
Awesome human ! And Quality instrument .
Mark Tremonti , you are the reason that made me to play the guitar. And the song Blackbird.
I got my own PRS. Thank you all 😘🤘
Solid dude! Solid guitar company!!
What a great human being !!
What an amazing dude
I recently bought a used SE Tremonti Standard on a whim because it was offered dirt cheap. It had Gibson Iommi pickups and a PRS adjustable wraparound bridge installed and with these mods it blows any other LP type guitar in a wide price range around it out of the water. It's not even a competition. I'm not a fan of his music (never really gave it much of a shot though) but the gear he put's out with PRS is outstanding for the price range.
I've got one of the Tremonti SE guitars and it's amazing! Like Mark's initial problem with PRS, I don't perform with it, but I love playing it in my bedroom. I use the MT15 amplifier in my band and it sounds amazing! We're not metal, but with the gain dialed back a bit, the amp fits the sound perfectly. PRS is really cranking out some great gear!
What a great guy. I’m sold to PRS and Mark’s gear. Amazing music!
The best👏👏
Paul and Mark definitely make a great team.
Genuinely nice guy.
