There arent a lot of bands that have created their own style of playing but id say mark and willie have done that. Strip away everything else except those 2 riffing and you immediately know its them. Amazing talent and synchopation between these 2. Not to mention mark seems like a genuinely good person. Congrats on your success mark and your sobriety.
It’s true. I’ve seen posts from folks asking for bands that are similar and there really isn’t anybody.
Don't leave out chris. Wish he was back in the band
you mean their play everything on one string style? it is unique i guess.
@bradbutler
That would be said about like 99% of metal, a note is a note, really doesn't make a massive difference what string its on, but if thats what your worried about then why don't you give the passing/in your words a try... or the song's ashes of the wake, king me, another nail for your coffin has a pretty melodic outro too, or grace
They have unreal chemistry. I always think back to the outro to One Gun, where they bounce back and forth off each other.
Mark is such a chill guy. Like he'd be 100% down to sit on his porch and drink sweet tea with you and talk guitar.
He’d prolly wanna talk muscle cars lol
@@ericgardner5969That's ok too haha
I can’t play guitar, but love watching Mark in action!
Hey Karl i hope aapke ghar me sab ache hai, glad that aap v humare jaise metalhead ho, Jai Lamb of god ❤🙏😁
Arey bhaiya ram ram
Time for you to learn 😊
Arrey ram ram karl bhai! Aap yahan ?
Banglore open air me aap aao… maza aa jayega
This dude and his band are the reason I haven’t put my guitar down in 17 years.. I’ve learned probably 60-70% of their entire discography I just can’t get enough of it. That second riff in Now you’ve got something to die for is beautifully chaotic and seriously the most fun riff I’ve ever learned to play in any metal song. Thank you Mark for taking the time to show us these riffs! Watching this makes me realising I’ve been playing some of it 99% right with the odd note wrong here and there all these years later 😂 truly musical geniuses these guys are!
The insane blend of speed, technicality, and just straight up GROOVE these guys can capture all in one riff is crazy
Watching Mr. Morton
Me: that's amazing riff
My wife: that's beautiful hair
Mark and Willie are awesome players! Way to go Gibson. 🙂
I had a lesson w mark back in 2012. Really stellar dude, I paid for an hour but he chatted with me for like 3 lol talked all things music life composing. Great guy.
Pathetic is one of the most badass riffs of all time in my opinion. Requires a lot of hand eye coordination and a lot of really fast pull offs, but all the while it just sounds so fluid and powerful.
Mark seems like the coolest friggin dude ever...seems like a very humble fella, Gibson blessed to have.
Learning this bands riffs when I was 16 changed my life, mark and Willie are massively underrated guitarists
Yep same
Full speed, the riffs are brutal, slowed down for demonstration purposes they still absolutely slay.
The clarity in his tone is always so good. That LP/Mesa Boogie combo is sweet
people who even in 2023 still believe an LP or any other guitar on its own has any contribution to "tone" are irredeemable
@@thetej1098 You obviously have no ears 🤣
@@thetej1098bro what. My lp sounds wayy more thick and huge sounding than my charvel and Jackson.
@@thetej1098Have pacifica with black winter and schecter c6 fr and those sound way different and both strats but different necks and mics and wood and the difference is huge but both still sound great
As a guitar nerd : short scale guitar (24.75 inches) and the Mesa Boogie "au naturel", without any kind of boost in front. That's what makes it sound so thick and clear.
Such a good artist to sponsor. Been a lamb of god fan since early 2000s
That's such a beautiful burst on that Les Paul
Custom shop 1960 Re-issue! 🤘
with all the modern metal tones out there, lamb of god's guitar tones are still my favorite.
Now thats a real riff lord 🤘
Mark and Willie are two of the most bad ass riff masters of the past 20 years. Like Hetfield and Hammett, Skolnick and Peterson, Murray and Smith before them, they have churned out some of the most memorable metal songs. Hope they keep at it for another 20.
Mark and Willie are living legends
No duo like Mark and Willie! Insanely tight and technical riffs like no one else. 🤘🏼
Mark Morton, my fav metal guitar teacher I never had.
Consistently some of the hardest riffs to play. They're so tight and precise
Wow, I'm a 70 YO classically trained pianist but listen to liquid metal on Sirius when I'm driving.Somehow, it relaxes me. This video was terrific and you are obviously a master at what you love and a great teacher!Thank you.👏🎸🎹
that's awesome to hear
Maybe cause there’s no piano in it , ha
Probably because as a classically trained musician, modern metal is very close to what you are familiar with.. they are very similar in their chord progressions and voicings. Pull up some Beethoven or Bach and throw some distortion over it and you'll see what I mean.. maybe speed it up a notch or 2.. throw in a growl... Boom.
Mark is the Man!!
I WILL watch this over and over 🤘🤘
Such a cool and humble dude who absolutely shreds! Mark and Willie are powerhouses of the riff. 🤘
The man the myth the legend Nd the reason I ever picked up a guitar which save my life countless times thank you agin mark loves brotha ❤
I love the Riff Lords series. Please keep this going! It's 8:20 a.m. but I'm definitely starting off the morning with some Lamb of God now.
Thanks for watching! More episodes coming soon!
It is currently 8:18am and I am also doing the same!
Wow what a surprise! Love that fact that you got Mark Morton here!
Genius behind the band which has inspired the globe
I wasn’t planning on a late night practice session but I couldn’t resist grabbing my guitar when I hit play on this one. Thank you Mark and Gibson! Learned a ton here, including how much fun drop D is.
No question my absolute guitar hero, playing on the greatest guitar ever made!!
I was about 15 when Pantera first 2 albums came out….spent years looking for a similar band and in 2012 found LOG…
Sheeeesh, what a time to discover them too. Resolution is my favorite album of theirs.
Lamb of god always sounds good when played on a drop tuned Les Paul. And now Mark is finally home 😊
never thought i’d see a riff lord from the goat himself maaan
That Les Paul is absolutely stunning, and sounds incredible!
Custom shop 1960 Re-issue! 🤘
These guys are the real deal, always tight as hell and they all are so damn talented it's crazy
I've been a Lamb of God fan for a very long time and I'm so glad that Mark is getting the attention that he deserves. We didn't even touch on his solos which are amazing as well. Great video and great idea to ad Mark as a Gibson artist. Love it! 🤘
Laid to rest is still one of sickest riffs I’ve ever heard and it sounds decent on other drop tunings at least in my opinion.
Love Lamb of God, Mark and Willie are amazing musicians! Seen them live 5 or 6 times in the last 20 years! Forever a Fan! Thank you guys!!
Thanks Mark, 30+ year player and always looking to help writing killer riffs. Videos like these help me to not steal riffs but maybe branch out on some riffs I have. Love your band and content. Keep Rocking my friend!!
this Gibson plus the Mesa!!!! Pure GOLD
Seeing these guys live is incredible, Their musicianship is as tight as it gets, Mark's playing is crazy good, Paired with Willie it just gets that much better! This is good stuff!
So awesome! Give us more Mark Morton!
Would love to see some Epiphone Mark sigs, I understand we’ll probably see a Gibson version first but regardless glad to see him part of the Gibson family.
What a player what a band ! Cheers a million times !!! 🍻
Love Lamb of God!
Gibson is the GOAT for the this! More Mark Morton please!!!
I love Riff Lords! So excited to see Mark🤘🏻🤘🏻🎸🎸
Yes please
Riff Lord indeed ! Thank you Gibson and Mark Morton , I love the lessons /stories. Left me wanting more...for sure, great stuff !
I really love Mark's riffs, I used to struggle a lot learning them.
Lamb of God is one of my favorite bands, they made love rhythm guitar !!!
It’s amazing how both guitar players in LoG have such cool unique picking techniques
i love you mark morton and all your great riffs ❤🔥❤🔥❤🔥
I love how he called Wille as a "Partner".
These 2 guitarist are Top 3 Riff Lords 🤘
Mark rips. I was super pumped to see this pop up from Gibson. Keep showcasing rad metal players!
Mark is the best !! I love him , he created so many awesome riffs!! Thanks Gibson ❤
THANK YOU for having Mark break these down!
What a great session. And what a great dude. Such great stuff. Thanks, Mark. And thanks, Gibson.
Im gonna be stoked to learn these...at half speed!
Mark seems like such a damn good,cool dude for real and i have always loved his playing and tone🤘
Ive seen these guys a few times and seriously f**kin' killed it everytime!
Absolutely a Riff Lord🤘
I can’t express how much I fucking love lamb of god! The drumming, amazing riffs, great vocals and one of the tightest bands I’ve ever heard live. Seen them atleast 12 times. And will continue seeing them every time they stop by 🤘🏻🤘🏻
Riff god!! Best tone for groove metal IMO🔥
He sounds like a beast. I really really love their tone.
"Lies of Autumn" has some perfect beginner stuff as well!
"One Gun" also has a straight forward riff that isn't too difficult, if you're feeling frisky lol
5:20 that is a pure Mark Morton signature move. Along with the aggressive legato, with Mark you can still sometimes hear the downstrokes vs upstrokes, but Mark really emphasizing the upstrokes makes the LoG riffs really distinct. If it's not aggressive legato, no weakness in chugging at this pace, is a pure Mark Morton sound. Solid balance between upstrokes and downstrokes. Very important to practice for that signature LoG tone
the new titans, lamb of god always so good
Gracias Mark!!
We love you mark and all LoG🤘🏻
Great Guitarist!! Really Cool He Mentioned Testament as A Influence. There is A Song Off The Gathering Album That Sounds Like A Lamb of God... Tho the Style was Before Lamb Of God! 🤘
Idol🔥🔥🔥🔥
Always a pleasure to watch Mr Morton !!
the importance of practicing down picking / up picking....100% agree
this man is a badass
Appreciate you breaking those riffs down for us brother. Some of those are hard to catch by ear . Your a great teacher of the riffage.
Love the Riff Lords vids! Please keep them coming. 🤘🏻👍🏻 Thank you Mark. Always loved your style of playing.🤘🏻
He seems like a really friendly dude!
I love riff lords. Such badass videos
Love this... this guy is one of the reasons I play guitar
Watching another great video from Gibson/Mesa Boogie team on the over night shift wishing i could buy up Marks guitar setup on this video and try my hand at these riffs. 💰🎸🤘🏻
That Les Paul is my dream guitar
So freaking good. Thanks for this, Mark & Gibson!
Best video ever, thanks to Mark for breaking down his riffs
Don't know much about the band and the musicians but Mark seems like a real cool guy. Thanks for posting this and letting him explain his magic. And I'll be dreaming about that Les Paul this night for sure 🤩🤩🤩
Love lamb of god and their music! Super awesome video! Mark seems such a down to the earth guy
This man is AMAZING!!
Yep saving this 1!! Thanks!
That Les Paul is killer!!
Custom shop 1960 Re-issue! 🤘
Love love love Mark! Great work Gibson! Keep it up 🤘🏻
Marks riffs always have a "flight of the bumblebee" feel to them to me
Just saw lamb of god live last night in Tampa 🤘🤘🤘
Great job bringing Mark to Gibson!!!! LOG are amazing!!
They bought Mesa boogie,boogie brought him lmao
Most significant and impactful band of my life.
Nice choice of riff. All bangers and acknowledging the classics
About to plug in and wake up my family and neighbors.
mate❤ now i don't feel alone anymore ...i always forget suddenly in the lives of mine own riffs i've been playing millions of times 😂
you made amazing riffs !!! thanks for the lesson🤘
Mark is awesome!! Pretty rad dude too! 🤘🏼🤘🏼
Mark is a beast. The riffs from LOG are really technical in Metal. Love to see him to teach us some cool riffs 🤘
It’s absolutely wild how effortlessly he plays those songs “normal speed” crazy fast movements
Your telling me, when he played the slow riff for memento mori that was like my normal speed 😂 I was goddamn
love the tobacco burst
Ruin is so cool to play
And it sounds so damn bad ass too!
