It‘s so nice to dive through YT networks of awesome musicians: Lettieri, Wong, Vulfpeck, Nate Smith, Scary Pockets, Fearless Flyers, Dirty Loops, Collier... Hours of joy. And all for free.

@@mjlettieri Ha, already did Mark, from you, Cory Wong-related stuff, Snarky Puppy and others - you really know how to reinvigorate my interest in cool, funky groovy Jazz-Rock fusion-type of music 🎵!
Yes he is very good. But he needs to lose weight. Obesity can lead to heart disease, diabetes, osteoarthritis and many other diseases, if he is not already suffering from some.
I came in here to the comments section… because i had the most clear idea that he was playing a baritone.. I guess confirmed it. cheers.. ;) It sounds pretty pretty great. And .. does what he might have been after.. _ sort of a different touch.
Wes is the man. He is a member of a forum i am on and is a chill dude who took the time to respond to me when I reached out about this session. @@duartepereira6416
Four minutes and fifty-four seconds ago I had no idea what a baritone guitar would sound like. And now I can’t remember what anything BUT a baritone guitar sounds like! Incredible.
His background is in athletics, not music. He got a track scholarship from TCU as a triple jumper, and his college degree is in marketing. Where the hell did he find the time to be such an accomplished player? As a Division 1 college prospect, in high school you know he spent his time training and going to track & field meets. If you’ve never seen a div 1 college athlete compete in high school, believe me the talent jumps out and it’s obvious they are in a different universe than the “normal” kids. My point starting out was he must be a dedicated and fast learner at least in college when he had no time to work on guitar. Well, he found it somehow.
@Augusto Lopez Mark visited TIM PIERCE (search on YT), he shares some details there. At the beginning of practice, the bassist ALWAYS walked away or didn't come at all. Instead of getting angry, he started playing that part as well.
With fine music videos such as this one, there's sometimes the "moment", when there's something you've never quite heard before, an approach to music and the moment that makes you go, "oh! the universe is one notch bigger than I thought." Or maybe, "this music thing is connected to that other music thing", and when it's really special you'll see the musicians themselves reacting, even briefly, like whoa we're in the zone. So here it's Shaun Martin topping out his solo, forgoing the usual climactic cascade of notes, for an intense, melting harmonic layer which harnesses instead the energy of the riff when it comes back in hard to be his own energy amplifier, bending up into an unexpected and bold reharmonization of sorts until his eyes roll up and Herbie's face practically morphs out of his for a Sunlight second. So, yeah, I'd never seen or heard that before (around 4:00 - 4:20)
The muscle of remembering long form, complicated music is VERY similar to the muscle of being able sight read without thinking. If you do it as often as these guys do, coming from the backgrounds of playing in church, high end jazz/fusion orchestras/bands, and crazy intricate gigs, they just have incredible short term memory and recall from all the reps on that muscle. When people ask you “how do you sight read such complicated music without messing up?” It’s the same way that you’re reading my sentences without thinking about reading them, it’s just built in from repetition of learning/doing so much.
once again left completely awed by the sheer amount of work and talent each and every one of the players there put into this. That skill did not come easy and I for one appreciate it
I discovered this album recently and was playing this song in my car today at volume levels that were borderline irresponsible. It’s just too darn good.
Cooler neuer Funky Sound den ich seit langem nicht mehr so gut gehört habe. Tolles Sück. Daumen Hoch an alle :-) Das erinnert mich an die Captain Future Serie. Cool new funky sound that I haven't heard that well in a long time. Great Song. Thumbs up to everyone :-) It reminds me of the Captain Future series.
Thank you, Daniel Porter on keys . . . for supporting the Minnesota Vikings! Loved the sweatshirt. I hope y'all play the halftime show when they win the Super Bowl!
Absolutely gutted hearing that Shaun passed away. Sending much love to all the team and sincere condolences to his family. May he rest in peace ❤
Rest in peace, Shaun Martin.

Next may I suggest checking out Sam Greenfield - he did a song with Mark and co. and it's positivity slappin'!
@achenaemyst Every single name of your list is part of my favorite music at the moment! Mark ‘s music is amazing!
Lari Basilio
Wes is an incredible bass player- the best counterpart to Mark.
Totally agree sir!
@BassWave Wes Stephenson
Yes he is very good. But he needs to lose weight. Obesity can lead to heart disease, diabetes, osteoarthritis and many other diseases, if he is not already suffering from some.
@@nasimreza5347 I think that is his personal choice and has nothing to do with his great skills as a bass player.
@@nasimreza5347 wow you are fun at parties…. 😳😳
Bass player yo!👍🏿
That’s what I said !!!
Thanks!
Came back to see Shaun's solo again, and again.
May he rest in peace
I love the grounded sound of Mark’s bariton. But as a bass player seeing Wes work his ass off on the bass is a treat in itself.

Let’s not forget Jason JT Thomas for the perfect drum sound & play in order to let everybody shine…🌞
This bassist is an absolute beast. Bravo sir.
Wes Stephenson is his name
Play on Shaun🙏❤️🙏👏👏👏
so schnasty so killing - feel honored to be the second woman in the comments of this video
Love it, that the bass is in the mix from the first note to the end, always carrying the ensemble because it’s all about the bass
Bass 👏🏻🙂🙂
This bassist

sweet funky music!!!!!💫💫💫💫💫💫💫💥✌✌✌
Thank God for these young musicians. Keeping the funk alive!
We gotta have the funk in the life: lay down your Funk!
Fav guitarist for me.
He got it all. Harmony,rythm,sounds,uniqness,writing,producing. Cmon!
I think He plays guitar the way a bassplayer would.
@@daitos1955 well he can play the hell out of the bass too.
seconded, I love a lot of things about a lot of guitarists, but this guy is just the total package

Вся команда великолепных музыкантов, БРАВО!!!
Tight, funky, intricate, and articulate. Just everything about this piece is spot-on. Really stellar performance guys!
intricate my ass. classical musicians be reading the music for days to try to play the correct rhythm...
@AndreyRubtsovRU how long did it take you to learn every part of this?
Uuuuuuu yessah!!!
The BASS player is so amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is fucking flawless. RIP Shaun
That bass tone made me almost drive off the road its so good. My Lawd
Came here by accident. All I can say is damn dude.
Just when you think there is no good music anymore! Then you run into this; joyous, universal , life affirming sound by amazing talents!
Amen brother!
They’re all in one room, my neck hurts and I have a stank face while listening. Come on, quick, they’re spreading new Fun-K-oV variant!
Wes on bass
Lets not forget the drummer's groove !!! Awesome !!!
Thank you my good man! And big thanks to the homey Deitchman(Adam Deitch) for laying down such a fun groove to play...
Slick and smooth............and eminently funky..........
And as icing on this incredible, syncopated funk groove, he's killing it on a Danelectro guitar! It just doesn't get any better!!
A Dano baritone, at that! Zowie!
a full package music
love from Rwanda
TIGHT!!!

Theses fellows are funky!!!!
Wes is a monster!~ Damn!
RIP Shaun - you nailed it big time
The drummer's a machine
Yes, I am a "Drum Bot"... LOL... Thanks man!
@@JTonthedrumsexcept letting the boss wait for the final roll 😄
Immediate appeal, foot-tapping funk, interesting breaks and solos, superb tightness and arrangement. Great band.
That bass is heaven.
cant get over JT
Beautiful, incredible Musicianship 👌🏿❤️
Greetings from Uganda 🇺🇬👊🏿🖤❤️
One of the tightest bands I have ever seen live.
I stumbled upon this artist while browsing my Amazon music app. He's the truth. Wow, I'm floored. Loving this.
from a classically trained musician - how the do they all remember the track and not scared to up the recording with a single wrong note? Amazed.

DAT BASS !!!!
My face just cracked from intensity of bass face I made listening to this
Here’s Mark with his trademark baritone guitar work
Most guitars I go to the solo, with Mark I listen for the epic rhythms
That vocoder keyboard guy… daaaaamn ! Talk about building pressure !!!!
Damn my shoes got up and danced by themselves ... Best groove on the Internet
Great bass player. Does anybody know who makes that bass guitar, sounds bombastic.
3:30 Shaun Martin Absolutly KILLING IT
This music makes the world a better place 😲😀
once again left completely awed by the sheer amount of work and talent each and every one of the players there put into this. That skill did not come easy and I for one appreciate it
That's amazing!!!!!!!!!!!
What a sound..... !!!!! 🙊🤓.... !
Que banda incrivel, uma musica desafiadora e excelente, esse baixista é a estrela, surreal
Seeing this piece played live in Paris was the most amazing music experience of my life, thank you so much for bringing some light in my world ❤❤
i'm a..........................speachless. What an amazing bunch of musicians you have there Mark.
I discovered this album recently and was playing this song in my car today at volume levels that were borderline irresponsible. It’s just too darn good.
Brilliant band! Mesmerizing music! (And Shaun Martin is one patient human being!)
anybody who can lay out that long then rip out a screamer solo is a true professional
Love that synth slow bend at 04:00
Yes! This is the goosebump part! 😍
woooooowwww!!!!
Thanks! That was great listening. I love the momentum, driving with purpose and precision
Challenging piece for guitar and bass !!!Good job, everyone !! SUPER!!
Went down the rabbit hole and found myself here. Awesome!
That keyboard solo was incredible
Jesus Christ!!!This is Heaven!!!
drummer is fantastic.
bass lovers! great!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Magnetar! I’m electrified 🔌❤️🥇
0:54 that break down, so good!
Love the bass flare hard charging
Just a few seconds into the song and that rhythm guitar has already got me completely entranced... 🤯😍
Mark is *magic.*
(And the rest of the band too!)
The drummer is deadly!! Vibing Abe Laborial Jr
Wes is on point!
The speed of those changes for guitar and bass look challenging, and so clean. My hand cramps just thinking about it.
It's not a fun song to play for that reason 😆
@@mjlettieri How hyped up were you when Shaun just kept building that pad?!
Guys I’m listening to the two baritone albums on repeat and cannot find anything else that compares 🤩
Next try Mark's work in The Fearless Flyers. It's chunky with chitlin's.
What you see here is a super group ! They just have not been found yet, all 3 are magnificent !
um, there are 5 in this band,
Another Lettieri video that I feel compelled to rewatch immediately...over...and over and over...
That was - pretty much the whole ball o' wax, right there. Doesn't get any better.
Far out Man. Far out. Nice Funk

What a f… groove, you guys! Wooooo woooo woooooo
Красава
Please play this stunning song in your concert in Pistoia, 12nd July!!
Thank you, Daniel Porter on keys . . . for supporting the Minnesota Vikings! Loved the sweatshirt. I hope y'all play the halftime show when they win the Super Bowl!
bass player , thanks man...i play myself many a moon, big Paul Jackson fan :)
Shaun Martin, man... 🤯
Superduper ! and Wes ...what a bass player !!
We like it there!
Saw The bass player Wes was local to Dallas. I’ll have to look him up and see them play! Get some tips….. great job!
Born and raised, man. Come say hi sometime.
@@TheFunkyKnucklesDallas you bet! I’ve discovered bass late in life and love it. Been playing a lot. You got chops for sure! Fun to watch you play.
Thanks Corey Wong, I been here, what a great music...
Oooooooooo awesomeness’s! ❤️🍻🎶🎼☮️✅
Holy crapola! This is some serious mojo. Mark should jam with Oz Noy; that'd tear off some faces!!
I favourited this before I even heard it!!!
Saw them for the first time last night, wow, just great jamming all around. They all destroyed.
Lettieri is like a hot Deaner.
I fucking love music
Mark's playing is just.....magnetic !
