His pick-up changes are unreal! I think Marco is a real musician, not just guitar player. He shreds, but always keeps up the musical and melodic aspects of the song. Simply astonishing!
he and petrucci are the same guitar player haha, but sfogli is the real italian haha petrucci only has the last name xD sflogi is an awesome guitar player
his playing is his own way to play, nobody plays like him... One of my favorite guiatrist so far, it's time to be much more famous Marco !!! You deserve it !
+dfifty2 You're right, he's very versatile. And according to an interview with James and Matt (James Labrie band), the solo in Slightly out of reach was a first take... I mean... it's one of the greatest solos of the last decade (or even further)
Of course, everybody has their own distinctive style. Marco managed to capture a lot of technical things but also melodic lines and harmonies which seem very similar to me, and a lot of other listeners who appreciate John's particular sound. If you are a guitar player you also have your own style, mixed up between your favorite artists and however you change them around, inserting your own ideas and playstyle aswell.
To be honest... thats not "Petrucci style"... its 100% Marco Sfogli style! And thats what makes him such a great guitarist! Marco has his own unique style and he is kinda more influenced by Andy Timmons.
This reminds me of the Petrucci I used to know, the sound,the phrasing I heard in images and words. Now I really do not understand what JP composes now. Thank god Marco is here.
Thanks Marco for being such a great inspiration. It is because of you,I have picked up the guitar again. For ME,you are the BEST,the #1 Guitarist. Rest are just mere mortals for me.
The little 5 or 6 note lick that he plays early on and then repeats two more times is a great idea for the first portion of the piece, and then he hits that arpeggio sweep lick from 48: to 50: and it sounds like a different instrument. lol so fluid, watch his right hand during those 3 seconds. Peerless control and ease.
If Martin wrote the tracks and Marco and Martin both can write beautiful melodies, Marco and Martin should be playing together. Jamtrackcentral should start pushing artists with complementary styles to join up and produce their album. I loved the ballads album. This could be the next step.
This guys a great player! love his work with james labrie! yet listening to this track made me realize that any of the "petrucci style" or "petrucci tribute" guitar videos I've watched all show his licks and what not, but they're always in straight time. Half of the battle of playing petrucci is playing the barrage of oddtime signatures thrown at you, while playing off of these licks at lightening speed, all while sounding clean, melodic, and having great tone! just food for thought
Here and currently Marco is playing with DiMarzio Norton DP 160 ( bridge) , DiMarzio True Velvet ( middle ) and DiMarzio PAF 36th Anniversary DP 103 ( neck ) , in his Ibanez 6 strings he prefer these to the DActivator set ( which was previously using ), cause they are less output and let hear better the woody tonal characteristic of the instrument .
@bluesjamtracks why not make a jamtrack/tab of Marco's original song? Like sunset lights still hurts that would be nice. I know many would be happy to buy that jamtrack.
Clean. Just clean. And I gotta say as a Petrucci fan, Sfogli shouldn't be compared to another player really. He can stand on his own talent. No need to compare him to anyone. I think Satch needs to invite him to G3.
His pick-up changes are unreal! I think Marco is a real musician, not just guitar player. He shreds, but always keeps up the musical and melodic aspects of the song. Simply astonishing!
I could not have said it better
Marco Philipp just what I was thinking, phenomenal indeed
he and petrucci are the same guitar player haha, but sfogli is the real italian haha petrucci only has the last name xD sflogi is an awesome guitar player
wow... now I can see! wtf... amazing changes...
Perfecto Amigo !!
his playing is his own way to play, nobody plays like him... One of my favorite guiatrist so far, it's time to be much more famous Marco !!! You deserve it !
Marco is the next step of evolution in playing metal, because he is so unbelievable musical.
He is NOT only a shredder....fantastic player !!
+dfifty2 You're right, he's very versatile. And according to an interview with James and Matt (James Labrie band), the solo in Slightly out of reach was a first take... I mean... it's one of the greatest solos of the last decade (or even further)
This sounded a LOT like a solo that would appear on Suspended Animation (Petrucci's solo album). You absolutely nailed the style/sound.
Which one?
I agree totally agree with that.
Marco is amazing, he makes everything seem easy.
At 1:01 the face he pulls is him subduing the powers of the devil.
😁
Hahahaha

1:02 world domination face
Mike Eaton 😂😂
Savage😂😂
Is this the guy from the James Labrie solo albums? 🔥🔥🔥
This is 'Sfogli Style'
1:16 to 2:00 just proves that no matter how much you shred, its still the melody that really counts!! beautiful...
Thanks Marco for being such a great inspiration. It is because of you,I have picked up the guitar again. For ME,you are the BEST,the #1 Guitarist. Rest are just mere mortals for me.
1:30 incredible change of voice when you change picks position. Very Good taste Marco
Ultra SICK!! This makes me want to be the best guitarist I can be with what I have left. Thanks for the inspiration, Marcos.
Wow. His phrasings are so amazing!
i love how he immediately change the pickup position to bridge position at 1:32 to get that screaming note
those shred faces are awesome!
Simply amazing!
love the smooth slick transition between phrases... also sweet melody and solos mix without over shredding, which creates memorable tune.
1:38 the most insane progression i've ever seen, Marco ah you rule ! \m/

This guy is from another planet!!
So amazing
Maestro chitarrista! WHAT A MONSTER PLAYER: SOUL, TECHNIQUE THE WHOLE PACKAGE!
It's now called "Sfogli style" and Petrucci is practicing to reach it :D
No
I second that mate
When kids go too far..
no you wrong 😂😂😂
In your dreams yeah.
I usually post hate comments on "petrucci style" videos, but this one actually sounds a lot like petrucci. Really good job.
If Martin wrote the tracks and Marco and Martin both can write beautiful melodies, Marco and Martin should be playing together. Jamtrackcentral should start pushing artists with complementary styles to join up and produce their album. I loved the ballads album. This could be the next step.
AMAZING!!!!!
Insanely good‼️ I had to give this a whirl
That is one of the best guitar solos I've ever heard!
Killer player!!! Not a simple shredder: tasty licks and enviable precision.
Love phrygian scale, so so good. Love Marco’s playing too.
Nice sound! and the tone is awesome as well.
this is why trying to copy your favorite guitarists is important i guess. amazing player. nobody can come close to JP as this guy has!
I always got shivers down my spine when I read "Petrucci" and "metal" in the same place D:
His tone is simply amazing.
Very impressive. Can definitely hear the Petrucci influence/style there.
Too right mate!! Sfogli is too good to be that unknown!
Marco is the fucking master, everyone should go buy his solo albums because you won't be disappointed.
this is the man who plays on James Labrie's latest solo album ;)
Great stuff
I love this. Hes playing with an rg through a triaxis (i believe) reminds me of petrucci's old days.
Damn that was one melodic lick. LOVED it dude.
Very nice!
Marco n°1!!
This is AMAZING! Song needs to be completed Marco Sir.
His face was like that face when you think its a fart but actually is shart
hahahahaha
As a huge petrucci fan that was spot on
king king king , i have no words to say , awesome
Where can I find what equipment he uses?

Wooooww…amazingly played
wonderful style!!!!! i love this guitar player!
That was really cool! The arpeggio at the end was sick.
Perfect !!!!
elegant breakdown
Insane, I love Sfogli.
Brilliant.
1:16-1:37 wow moment-i love this !!!!
Sei grande Marco !!!!
OMMIODDIOOOOO...
Era da un pezzo che non sentivo pezzi così... decisamente assurdo :D
Desde que escuche a sfogli en su primer trabajo con labrie me impresiono la limpieza de su tecnica, es un pretrucci mejorado uffff!
there are elements of Petrucci, Sfogli, Timmons and lukather in this solo.
Those are in fact some of Marco's influences. Among many many others.
You're amazing
superb phrasing
When 1:15 starts I fall in love.
Same, I need to learn it.
same here :)
Nice
just pure
feels
man
I had an eargasm.
@bluesjamtracks why not make a jamtrack/tab of Marco's original song? Like sunset lights still hurts that would be nice. I know many would be happy to buy that jamtrack.
Nice sound! Nice tone....Fantastic playing....amazing taste = Marco Sfogli. :D
Amazing tone
each time it makes hesitate between being only meloman and immediately taking my guitar to play with as it was my friend playing together
Grande Marco!
Beginning reminds me a bit of Vicious Rumours as well, very good !
nailed it!
awsome guitarist love it
97 000th viewer :) Great job as always Marco, impeccable tone and performance! A true talent!
awesome TONE!!
Mantap bang marco
Damn, Marco you a beast!
the best saludos desde colombia !
I think the backing track is supposed to be on the style of JP, not the playing itself, but I could be wrong, either way, this improv kicks ass!
He's the guitarist of Labrie's band for those who don't know it..
BJT, Can you ask mr. Sfogli for the package on his " There's hope" song from his album?
Você conseguiu pegar o jeito do petrucci. Muito bom
This guy it’s just amazing
0:50 - 1:00 !!!! Daaaammmmnnnn!!! That was fast!!! just amazing Sfogli!
Fera de mais faz um vídeo 📹 pra nós das tuas guitas deve ter muitas abraço mano veio Deus abençoe você ❤❤❤💯
great!
Grande Marco. Bravissimo. Orgoglio italiano!
how to reach this amazing sound ? !!! can you post ampli, pedals, effects, tuning ?
Clean. Just clean.
And I gotta say as a Petrucci fan, Sfogli shouldn't be compared to another player really.
He can stand on his own talent. No need to compare him to anyone. I think Satch needs to invite him to G3.
grande!!
Nope... Marco Sfogli Style!!!!
Very good
Man is he a clean player !
sweet indeed.
уникален!
Oh my god! The overall tastyness is amazing!!
