I could swear I saw that Prince poster smile !

Can you make a home rig rundown?

[@offgridcurtisstone]

You're a monster of the groove brother. Love all your records.

[@FunkymetalBL]

That’s some Lettierified Princely funk 💜 🎸

[@Jack_95]

Love how he keeps looking into the camera like “I know you’re all nodding too, it’s ok”

[@tomer107]

Hidden lick at 0:30

[@ANUBISULTRA]

That sounds like a live PRINCE concert jam moment

[@stanislawcronberg3271]

I've listened to so much Fearless Flyers at this point, that whenever I hear something funky from you I start expecting Cory, Joe and Nate to come in at any moment 🎸🥁

[@kallebriede]

Cool😊

One of the bass player's function in a band is to get people's hips moving so they get up and dance. Baritone guitar can be the best of both worlds, as seen here, because it can not only produce an infectious dance groove, but it's melodic chording range reaches into guitar range with all its expressiveness. Now, if the baritonist works out their fills tightly with the drummer, holy shit happens.

[@libertarious]

As primarily a bass player and secondarily a guitar player, I can relate to your analysis; thus a baritone is on the shopping list.

I actually recently bought a Bass-VI like baritone guitar and I can confirm every word you're saying. I can swap to bridge pickup to make little solos and arpeggios and sounding like a guitar and then move to the neck PU to just be massively present as a bass. This is the future.

But he's playing with an octaver

Prince docet

[@NonMovingTarget]

Who knew Han Solo does play guitar....

[@element-dh9dx]

Hello, guitar wifey. Dude, join the New Revolution.

[@cagedoctaves]

That right hand technique blends together the best parts of guitarist Al Di Meola and funk bassist Bobby Vega. From the wrist action at its finest.

[@6x21]

Prince on the wall!

[@hunter548]

Does "Stank Face" come packaged with that guitar? 🤪

[@brooksharris3231]

Nice of Chicago Music Exchange to let Mark practice in their main lobby whenever he wants.

[@gimmeagig]

I love the baritone guitar. Until you came along I didn't even know there was such a thing.

[@massivebeatzz]

Fantastic sound - the grunt of that Baritone guitar. I need to have one.

[@mainsblanches8793]

Any special tunings or standard?...

[@jacklare1630]

Dude are you in bari tuning and then tuned a whole step down??

[@cutronixxx]

How am I going to cook eggs while I’m dancing to this? These are going to be some funky scrambled eggs. I hope you’re happy, you groove wizard and face melter!!

Mark must have been a Prince fan..👍

[@gitarmats]

So groovy it's borderline criminal.

[@TheArchiveOfWonder]

I think you should experiment with some 7 string playing! Let's you have the best of both worlds.

[@mjlettieri]

I have a 7, and it's cool, but the scale length of the baritone is where the magic comes from :)

[@chumbo]

1:04 is that an F*** chord?

[@orcharpark]

baritone sales just went up

Are you playing through an amp sim at home, or do you have an amp mic'd? Great groove! Enjoying these videos.

[@mjlettieri]

Thanks! It's just direct into my Apogee interface, with an octave effect added from Logic Pro.

What kind of guitar is that? Please don't say "Baritone".

[@mjlettieri]

H! It's a Leonardo by Bacci Guitars. Italian brand.

Hey Mark. Picked up a PRS SE 277 the other week. So far loving it (have your transcriptions!). What do you use for your drums in these practice sessions? Is it s Logic plugin or similar?

[@christopherkuefler9839]

Mark, this is fire. What baritone guitars are you rocking?!

[@mjlettieri]

Thanks! This is a Bacci baritone, but I also favor the PRS 277, Supro Hampton, Danelectro '56, and Hybrid Guitars Big 6. A world of low-end out there... :)

[@HectorStewe7]

@@mjlettieri Mark, when you use baritone guitars, you run it through a Bass Amp or Guitar Amp???

Wow, I need that on a record !

Thanks! Check out my Deep: The Baritone Sessions records :)

[@lobo537]

I am obsessed with your Baritone Sessions. Grooves so hard. I gotta see you play next time your in fort worth tx!

[@weschilton]

Wow, that is FUNKY. I've never heard a baritone played like that!
Is that p-bass pickup in that thing?

[@mjlettieri]

Thanks! Yes - it’s half a P Bass pickups that engages the bottom three strings through a separate output.
