- In this episode Snarky Puppy Guitarist Mark Lettieri Sounds Off about his Playing, Guitars and Gear.
Here’s some more about Mark:
Mark Lettieri is a guitarist, composer and producer based in Fort Worth, TX. Proficient in a multitude of styles, he records and performs in virtually every genre of popular music with both independent and major-label artists. He also composes and produces original instrumental music under his own name.
Born in the San Francisco Bay Area, Lettieri came to Texas via Texas Christian University (TCU), studying advertising and public relations, and competing in track and field. A passionate guitarist since middle school, he began his music career in the Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex area upon graduating from TCU.
Playing in the vibrant Metroplex gospel and R&B scene led Lettieri to join jazz/world group Snarky Puppy in 2008, where he contributes as guitarist, as well as arranger and composer. The group has earned three GRAMMY Awards: Best R&B Performance ("Something" feat. Lalah Hathaway in 2014), and Best Contemporary Instrumental Album (Sylva in 2016, and Culcha Vulcha in 2017). Snarky Puppy tours constantly, having performed on every continent except Antarctica.
Aside from the Pups, Lettieri has spent time on the road with neo-soul icon Erykah Badu, gospel singer/actress Tamela Mann, and American Idol: Season 11 winner Phillip Phillips. He's also performed with a myriad of other artists, including Anthony Evans, Chrisette Michele, Myron Butler, N'dambi, Bilal, and even Pat Boone.

This channel is a dream come true.
Can't wait to see Snarky Puppy live in Luxembourg in May.
catlypso How was it! I saw them in London a few days before you
I wish Rick would do an episode on their song Tarova
Before I even watch- this video is the greatest. Man I love Snarky.
Holy crap now we get Mark!? Next we will be treated to Jacob Collier I can only assume.
Well yes, but no
Mark is the nicest guy, a true gem. This is great!
Awesome another great guest. I'm hoping for Jacob collier, Julian Lage, Kurt Rosenwinkel in the future. 🙏🙏🙏
+GridZone They will all be on
AWESOME! Thank you very much for such great content!
Sounding off with JOHN McLAUGHLIN.......I can only dream! Great series Rick, thanks.
I will make it happen
Rick brings tears to my eyes
Great interview series Rick! Are you not spending all your time editing videos? The amount of videos is mind blowing!
Rick Beato is a gift from God.
Lettieri is a master of "in the pocket". Huge fan. Thank you once again, Rick. You rule, man.
Is this the best channel in all of youtube?..... I think yes.
This is awesome, Mark rules!
Awesome stuff! Julian Lage a possibility??
This would be great!
please!
I love to listen to all of these inspiring stories. Thank you so much Rick.
WOW!!!
I discovered Mark like 3 days ago and was absolutely smitten by his playing, have been watching all his videos on youtube.
just came home and was going to through daily web surfing and this popped up.
Thank you so freaking much Rick.
Thanks for turning us on to Snarky Puppy sensei - my kinda music
Man, this interview series are so good. If you could get Ron Jarzombek it would be awesome. Great work Rick!
Wow.
Thanks for the terrific interview choices and questions Rick.
🎶☮❤😎
I agree with everyone else. This channel is a dream come true.
Love your channel. You´re so selfless. Thank you. Awesome videos about sounding off!!
Mark is a great guitarist. I would love to see Charles Altura too. Make it happen Rick, make it happen! Love the channel and all your videos. thanks for all the personal time you spend making them. Love from Portugal.
Cool dude... great interview. I'm definitely a fan!
Wonderful show again.
Great funk player, great interview! I met Bobby Sparks (I didn't know he plays with Snarky Puppy) whilst browsing records at HMV on Oxford Street London... He was playing with Marcus Miller that evening... Great gig..:-))
Thanks Rick, I think that Mark is one of the most talented and flexible guitar player out there!!!!!
the "blend knob" made my day, it's fantastic!!!!!
Mark is a killer player. I like Snarky Puppy, but I LOVE the Fearless Flyers, where Mark plays baritone guitar. Great interview, great player.
WoW Rick!!
You finally interviewed a Christian artist on your second to none channel.
That wasn't so hard was it?
Thank you &
have a great day!!
Going vertical soon
From the 63 year old carpenter
Great interview! I'm going to be seeing snarky this time next week! can't wait!
Just halfway watching it but can already say this guy is hilarious and really interesting to hear, amazing interview!
I love how passionate Mark is.
I can't like this enough, Mark is one of my biggest inspirations, and I just found your channel after seeing your tribute to Allan Holdsworth. You're fantastic, informative and I love hearing the little stories and historical tidbits you throw out during your videos. I'm subbed!
Hmmmm. An episode with Lage Lund would be amazing. Ask him something about harmony, haha.
He is awesome, see you guys in London 5th of May!
Rick, Great interview. Big fan of Mark's and love what your doing on your channel. I grew up in Rochester too. I was up near Ridge Rd. and Mt. Read Blvd. How about you? All the best.
great interview questions!!
Hi Rick!Thanks a lot for this interview. I don't know is it make a lot of additional work but I think it would level up this show if guest will record entire interview on mic and then send rec to you. Even same pc mic will works fine. Anyway Thanks a lot for these guests. Waiting for Victor Wooten sounding off. Cheers from France (originally I'm from Kazakhstan)
You are correct about the sound. It's still a work in progress. You notice we are both wearing headphones. It really improves the sound.
Hi Rick. You and Mark were so great. Mark's also very humorous. The 'Growler' story was really funny. I had a few suggestions for SOUNDING OFF guests that I haven't seen in other comments: George Benson, Lee Ritenour and Steve Gadd. Maybe Marcus Miller too. Thanks Rick.
It's like a living Guitar/Music Magazine. lol Without the ads.
love this
SOUNDING OFF ...with Keith Jarrett please :-)
I will try my best, and make it happen!! haha!
WHAT? You're getting amazing people!
Great video! I enjoy snarky puppy, Corey Henry too.
still hoping for mr metheny :-)
Rick, you should bring John Davis, the bass player of nerve (Jojo Mayer's band). he makes really crazy stuff on bass, but he is also owner of The bunker studio, and i think like all the new york jazz cats have recorded there, Donny Mccaslin (another person you should bring, he and his band played in the last david bowie album).
I could say a million people for you to bring, but there's almost no interviews with john and i think he knows a lot.
Thanks for all of this, i'm from Uruguay and if it wasn't for this and some other channels, we could never get this insights. So REALLY thanks!!
+Nando Peyton I would love to have Jojo as well!!
I know!! but there's plenty of interviews with jojo (not that i dont want another), it's just that john seems overlooked, and he seems to know a lot.
Thanks again rick i'm learning a lot.
That was great!
Awesome!!!!!
Rick, you struck gold.
Getting Derek trucks and tosin abasi in here would be amazing
_Derek Trucks would be awesome_
Great interview
Great podcast and great guitar sound, even through that Skype mic.
Damir
Hi Rick, for one of the future vids, if possible could we have the guitarist tom quayle as a guest?
also as many have mentioned: jacob collier would be amazing!
Those funk licks are sick.
Great interview! I got introduced to Lettieri through Cory Wong. I think they also did some Fearless Fliers work together.
Woooooow amazing Stuff here!
Mark is 1. A great guy 2. An incredible guitar player who can really do it all…rhythm, lead, you name it. He can do it.
That was awesome. I will not confuse Snarky Puppy with Skinny Puppy after this.
Yeah, kinda different.
Man this is so badass.
Hey Rick. I know I keep asking but PLEASE upload all these wonderful interviews to podcast on iTunes. I don't have the time to watch but plenty of time for my commute. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE!
Will do!
Thanks Rick. I hope I am doing it right. I keep checking iTunes but the only one I see is Steve Vai episode 1. Really excited about all the great musicians you are getting. Vic Wooten will be wonderful. Suggested interviewees: Norah Jones, Esperanza Spaulding, Ian Shepherd, Robert Fripp, Todd Rundgren or any of the great audio engineers, Herbie Hancock, Quincy Jones, and on and on and on..... Thank you so much. Can't express how much I enjoy what you do. Music teacher myself, hailing from Northern Virginia. Cheers sir!
Brett Gatsed will be a dream.
Underrated guitarist but soo tasteful.
Hey Rick?
Would you invite him again? He’s awesome!!!
Thank you!
awesome...love snarky puppy...maybe Ron Jarzombek :D?
Mark is already a legend
Great Video! Would like to see you get Steve Morse if you could. Not because of a complex harmonic vocabulary, but because of his unique approach to playing riffs that just don't seem playable on guitar with strict alternate picking, yet he does it. Almost in a class of his own with alternate picking.
Maybe Michael League next?
Rick's the man
What about an episode with Michael League?
Hey Rick! Thanks for the great interview. What pedal is Mark playing at 28:03.. i could figure it out! Thanks :)
It's a Line 6 M5 Stompbox Modeller with the Growler preset on it. I think he tweaks it a bit cause on his song 'Crystal Palace' it sounds super clean and i love it!
Fine choice
Isaiah Sharkey!!
Tim Sensbach Yessssss!!!!
Good you made this, just wish you guys talked more about theory, scales and guitar technique instead of hardware..
Hi. I thought Mark used and loved Pure Sixty Four amps by Mark Giammattei?
I’d love to see you do a reaction video on the famous Lingus video by Snarky Puppy
Or "What about Me", "Outlier", "Shofukan" .....
😱🎸
Hey Rick, can you get Robert Fripp on?
sounding off with Steven Wilson
Sounding Off with Annie Clark?
You forgot his instagram! It's @mjlettieri
Rick, hook us up with some Julian Lage and Jacob Collier.
Once a guitarist picks up a guitar, he wont ever put it down again. Rick should have known and tried to get some more stories and Snarky Puppy stuff out of him first!
Please work on improving the sound quality
Such good content otherwise
The description - "... having performed on every continent except Antarctica." 😂
Sounding Off with every snarky puppy member?
666th like.......don't know what that means but everyone comments it when it happens so...lol
Correction. Snarky Puppy doesn't have a guitarist... they have at least three. Like nearly everything else in the band.
All the sack...
dude get cory henry in this piece
Next time sounding off with Justin Bieber!!! hahaha....... I'll see myself out
Music saved your soul from Satan!!
sounding off with Steven Wilson
Would be interesting for sure.
