Mac Demarco & The American Professional Stratocaster | Fender / fender
"I dont really know what Im doing" - words of a true artist
Than you could say my life is an art piece...
me second hour day week month and year
KEVIN
Words of most guitarists
Words of AN artist. Lol its okay do have a clue every now and again you dont gotta just be great outta nowhere😂
Fender have done this to encourage Mac Demarco fans to buy a pro-strat, but none of us can afford one. Thanks for the video anyway, Fender!
haha I know right
I mean it's a pro strat emphasis on pro if you can't afford it it's not for you
Alex Garcia pro strats don’t even sound that great tbh
Mexican ones sound good too. My baja tele is my fav telecaster.
I got a pro strat today. Huge demarco fan. I got it because I like the sound and I'm not a huge strat guy, but I loved this guitar
I love how he is so "I don't know man I just enjoy myself", to literally everyone who interviews him. Loved this guy since day fookin one baby
I'm glad Mac is getting the attention he deserves. His guitar playing is a huge inspiration to me.
Yeah same, He's so mysterious I love him.
lolol ahah bet you can't play any better
I think he's a tad bit underrated as a guitarist, but as an artist his fanbase has built a cult of personality around him to the point that it's embarrassing to associate anymore tbh
lolol ahah if you're so sure then lets go ahead and hear some of your stellar playing.
lolol ahah still waiting to hear your masterful playing there, bud. I guess you won't deliver.
Mac DeMarco is not the greatest guitar player of all time and that's why he's such an inspiration and adds to his originality and integrity. He's such a humble musician and I really respect him
James Bings Mac and people like Courtney Barnett are both such genuine people, it's great
+lolol ahah Nice b8, m8. Sure, his fanbase worships him like no other and it's really annoying but you have to give credit where it's due. The man writes solid jangle pop. What's your definition of 'how music works'? Theory?
he obviously has some idea.. whatever he is doing is working. and i know he has some knowledge of theory.
Technical ability is not a direct indicator of greatness. There are plenty of technically amazing, totally unoriginal and boring guitar players out there.
+lolol ahah he took a year of some intermediate guitar classes. and you can tell in some live videos where he's just soloing over the chords. I believe he knows exactly what he's doing. even through his music he uses a lot of jazz chords through his professions. major 7ths, 9ths, all that nice pretty stuff. it ain't super difficult or shreddy but he does now what hes doing, has his own style, sounds good. and look where it got him. sure music has changed alot and back then almost all the guitarists were classically trained which is why they could shred so hard. but anyways back to the topic, he knows what hes doing. :)
I’ve watched this video over and over again and it’s so worth it.
His tone....,his guitar...., his vibe....
I love it all....
Me too lol!
" theres no rules man, play a guitar or play a bass through a guitar amp. Enjoy yourself." This is why I like mac DeMarco and why my dad doesn't.
Yeah but take care, if not youll blow your amp up
i'm fucking dead lmaooo
cliff burton,,,,
mac's sound is like a retro cooking show sound. I love the guy, so likeable and down to earth.
"I need something that is ready to rip... all good to go." Fo' sho' Mac De
I love Mac
marco
@@ConnorJMC41 polo
mac’s stoner slacker vibe hides the fact that his guitar playing is polished as hell. i’d bet he put some serious hours into practicing to have such a distinguished playing style and sound
Yea for real polished ain't the word for it. It's the opposite of polished
Distinguished? Lol, you mean out of tune
he has good feel and ear, and can fingerpick the basics well enough to write interesting stuff
Donathan Campbell it's just his style
@@phillong5035 Did you know that you could use tunings that sounds out of tune to hears that doesn't know better?
mac demarco is the cool uncle ive always wanted to have
lordfarquad420 Mac is everyone’s cool uncle
"It's just one wiggly worm"
what song was mac playing in the video
That's what she said.
"guitar is the only instrument im almost acceptable at" "I really dont know what im doing" >plays the most flawless and beautifully layered fingerstyle ive ever seen
If you like Mac you might like a band called The Doublejumps
I deadass come back to this every few days to hear this version of the stars keep on calling my name.
DreamySteezy deadass
For some strange reason his playing reminds me of spongeBob music
Cameron Long is the vibrato effect, as it sound at the end music of sponge bob.
I almost just lost my shit😭😂
@@hauntedhouseonzillow44 me to hahahha
Can't unhear thanks
I think SpongeBob his spiritual animal
Mac should record the version of "stars keep on calling my name" he's playing in this video cause it sounds amazing
his name is Mac =*
im tripping on LSD right now and this man - i have never listened to his music before, but hes giving me the best vibes ever.
i listened to his music when i tripped and he's honestly one the BEST artists to listen to when on a tab
You’re in a good place, I discovered him on LSD. Changed my musical life.
its great seeing ethan from h3h3 collabin with anthony fantano
i didnt know they were guitar players, ethan even dropped a vape naysh at 2:25
ben swolo oh my god that’s exactly what i thought
Thank you.
He probably owns a wrx
Lmao wtf
Always rep yer naysh
Faith in humanity restored 100%
Fuck yeah
if it means as much to you as your comment suggests then how come you dont even think for two seconds about something original to say
REPLY
yeah! it make me feel almost strange to see such a humble and successful person, which is not a good sign isnt it haha
500th comment, I love all of you😋🌈
This video makes me feel like I'm in heaven
is he playing "the stars keep calling my name"? it sounds so good! they should have showed a full video of that!!
Just saw him in concert last night and met him beforehand in the parking lot. Must say he's a chill ass dude and an AMAZINGGGG performer
I found this vid a few days ago and I’ve already watched it at least 30 times and only for his playinggggg I’m gonna need a whole series of videos with Mac doing literally anything
Fender do a Mac demarco start series!
Everyone does!
Just get a cheap squire, make sure it's out of tune and do some nonsense with the whammy. Boom, you got your signature
Remember seeing this in a movie theater at one point and this ad introduced me to Mac DeMarco in general.
“There’s no rules”
“I don’t really know what I’m doing”
That’s what I love about music, and art in general. This creative process.
Even the intro music and the music in the background really does ease you for relaxation
“It’s like a nice meatball you know what I’m talking about?” Gotta love Mac 😎🙏🏼
i love mac. hes such a chill, laid back dude with not a care in the world.
i love the way he plays so much
i really like how he explains things its so interesting
He’s playing the stars keep on calling on my name chords on capo 2 at the start 😍
This advert is how i found out about mac and this is the ONLY time that an advert has had such a massive impact on me
"studio engineers probably make great sounding records but they're gonna tell you 'this is wrong and that is..' theres no rules! Play a guitar or play a bass through a guitar! Go ahead! Go ahead! Enjoy yourself!" Love that
“It’s music theory not music rules”
-edi van halen
If anyone is looking for the chords, they are 022100, 320200, 242252, and 224242 with a capo on the second fret. For the second chord he plucks the strings individually. (the order is 6th,4th,3rd,2nd string ). Mess around with it, its pretty simple to figure out once you know the chords.
stars keep on calling my name progression but with capo on the second fret
It's the stars keep on calling my name but 2 semitones down
@@joaoreis9650 he plays it so nicely, I wish he made a new version of the song w just guitar and he plays w this nice tone that he has in this video
@@Larey. could not agree more with you. love his playing in this video
How can someone dislike this? He’s a true artist and very honest and humble. We need more people like this 👌🏻👍
It must be the 10th time this week I've seen this video.
Just can't get over how cool Mac seems.
god, he's so underrated..... he records his own music, i mean everything, the drums, the base the synth,,,,, he's great
I need tabs for the songs he played, it just sounds so mesmerizing and absolutely addicting.
Edit: I forgot about this vid, but to answer the question, he’s playing “The Stars Keep Calling My Name” with a capo on the second fret.
Same bruh I need to find them
.
Yo tell me if you find em
Saw a comment saying he's playing a song called "stars keep on calling my name", IDK how true that is but there you go
I discovered it the other day- it’s just the normal songs chords but the strings are played individually idk if that makes sense
I miss you in the scene mac
enough of the old dudes playing blues riffs and bending random notes fender has gotta bring dudes like this to appeal to the younger generation
i get so much aids when i see these reviews of awesome gear and they just play blues rock ...... bruh
LOL, you sound like a huge loser.
@@RegularDude00 Nah, you got AIDs from buttfucking your boyfriend
I swear Matt has the greatest job ever, he just gets to hang out, jam and get high with awesome guitarists. It's my dream job.
Ive watched this interview at least 30 times and i know im not the only one
Same here, something about Mac... I love!
Even though I know close to nothing about guitars I find something very relaxing about listening to this interview with the music in the background.
Mark's chords sound like they're drunk and under water
Mark DeMaco
who's Mark
@gheddi sounds like one hell of an experience you had
Oh hi mac
Mark DeMarko
I'm happy that I'm getting old with Mac
Jimi Hendrix, Jimmy Page, Johnny Ramone, Eddie Van Halen, Slash, Kurt Cobain, Tom Morello, etc. have all inspired so many people to pick up a guitar. They all have/had their own sound and/or style that is easily recognizable. Some of them are considered to have a higher skill level than others. Some of them played different-sounding music than the rest; however, they all have in common that they're responsible for (like i said) influencing so many people, and even inspiring them to learn guitar. To me, Mac Demarco is doing just that. Bringing his style and sound, popularizing it, and inspiring many youth to pick up a guitar. Huge props to him for that. I got much love and respect for him.
The most humbling thing about Mac Demarco, is the fact he's from Nanaimo on Vancouver Island, if you've never been there you don't know what I'm talking about, but let's just say, it's a bit isolated for such a huge star to come from haha
Did he just smash his phone on the floor at the end there? XD Man, this fucking guy
I wonder if its a old Nokia, I literally kicked mine around all the time and it lasted years xD
Well, it had that iPhone ringtone, so I don't think so. Eventhough it would definitely fit him! xD
I could see Mac setting a Nokia phone to use the iPhone ringtone haha
it had an iPhone ringtone but it sounded like an old keypad phone when he smashed it
Jeremiah Fernandez nope, its an iphone. sounds just like that.
this is the video that made me want to do music, thank you mac and everything you have unknowingly done for me. I owe my life to you and a piece of wood.
He is: "On The Level"
ye, he is a good guitarist^
ie watched this video everyday for the past 5 days, this is my inspiration
2 years later and I’m about to buy one of these after watching this maybe 30 times
Dude fender I thank y’all so much, this is how I was introduced to Mac Demarco and I’ve been hocked on him since
matt and mac!!!? yooo why is this not longer?! cmon fender get your finger outa ya ass!
BurningChipotleCornhole mac put his thumb up his butt in canada, I don't think he's opposed to finger's and asses.
I still don't get what's so phenomenal about Matt Sweeney. All he seems to do is listen to talented guitar players do their stuff and ask dumb questions. I have yet to see him do something impressive on guitar but if someone could point me to the right direction i'd appreciate it.
look at his moustache
I love how mellowed and easy going Mac is in interviews. He seems like a really good guy to sit down with and talk about literally anything
Holy shit Mac’s guitar sounds amazing in the background
“I don’t really know what I’m doing” this is Mac DeMarco. I love you
Mac is like that cool older brother everyone wants
He speaks as if he is singing his song...like his usual laid back and chill vocals are captured in his speaking voice
He's an awesome guitarist do not underestimate the man
Please make a series where mac tries out all different guitars and just plays what comes to mind ,answers questions and does interviews

Dear Fender, please post this video in it’s entirety.
Sincerely, Mac fans
Mac is so chill
Mac needs a signature guitar
This is where i fell in love with mac
God I really want a studio recording of this version of the stars keep on calling my name.
I love you Mac. Please never stop just being you.
I was a bit depressed until I watched this, thanks mac
I love Fender and I love Mac Daddy DeMarco and I am just now seeing this. Best day ever.
me watching this video for the 5000th time just to hear macs jamming 👁👄👁
Felt.
Mac is the best. Glad to see Fender and Ernie Ball showing him some love recently. I bought a Fender Telecaster and love it and I also enjoy Ernie Ball strings. Both are iconic brands in their own right.
Good job Fender your finally starting to catch on. You should have given St. Vincent a shot too.
st. vincent is with music man and has released a signature guitar with them
When mac playing the instrument of stars keep on calling my name, it's still hanging in my head. So dope!
inb4 all the butthurt guy fieri-lookin joe bonamasa fans complain about how "this isn't real music"
this comment MINT
I like Joe Bonamassa,but I love Mac Demarco.
lolol ahah literally I've seen you on like every comment and all I've got to say is that you're exactly who this guy is describing. Just stfu, if you enjoy the music then that's all that matters. He's not a musician by your definition but does that really matter to anyone else? No, No it doesn't.
lolol ahah How is Mac not a trained musician? He's an amazing guitarist, but he plays a certain style.
John Danek real music shouldnt be defined as what you like; but what the artist does to define themselves
There would be a lot of happy people if fender released this whole interview
The Prince of Indie Rock.
this guy is so cute and underrated 😭😭I'm glad he's getting the attention he deserves atleast 8 years later
This Old Dog has become one of my favorite albums. so chill
Mac is friggin awesome gotta love him
Fuck it, im buying a strat.
It's also the easiest guitar to build a super clone of.
Absolutely perfect guitar. This was a cool feature.
What a cool guy!
Mac Demarco returns all the color to my life
3:02 I expected Connan Mockasin to suddenly materialize in the room.
hahahaha good catch, definitely a connan lick
uoooOoooh...
The original Mister Chorus
when he played that riff with the whammy bar my heart warmed.
I love Matt Sweeney .
The song sounds like the song “stars keep on calling my name” in the intro but capo on 2nd fret. I tried it myself since I just learned the song and it was exact.
is the song he’s playing at 0:20 from one of his songs or is he just making it up as he goes because it sounds so nice, if anyone knows what song it’s from pls lmk
Sound like “Stars Keep Calling My Name” kinda
Listening to Mac 1:00 AM in the morning and feeling stoned af, without smoking
WHEN GAP TEETH MEET!!! Jk luv u guys
Thanks to this video i fell in love with the vibrato effect
mac is definitely the cool weird uncle that slides you $100 at the family gathering
"go ahead, go ahead, enjoy yourself" Mac is one of the biggest reasons why I play guitar.
ive watched this like 1 million times lol
I lost it at the phone call bit near the end. "She wants m PayPal information to do my taxes. Not today". 😂😂👌🏻👌🏻
someone please post the tabs of what he was playing while doing the interview (background music)
I need a thirty minute video of these two together
A LOT of right in this video! The only wrong is that its not way way longer
Bro I really dig the background instrumental 🦐🐧
