I was shocked he knew who Danny Gatton was as a kid. Danny was amazing yet mostly a regional act in the DC/MD/VA area. Marcus is really gonna influence a lot of young kids to sing and play.
Marcus King is the shit. imo he is the best act out rn, i hope he brings sum of his bluesy guitar to the radio. this musician plays real music & thats not too common rn. peace and love.
@@moodyvol89 only boring old farts worship SRV, you are Exhibit A. He is the least innovative blues player ever 🤣 If you only listen to one artist you're not in a position to offer a valid opinion on music. Also, he is forgotten, apart from the aforementioned old farts and wannabes still talking about him. He was a raging cokehead who copped all of Albert King's style, with a hint of Hendrix thrown in - hardly innovating, apart from his skin colour 👋
@@moodyvol89 also, i realise you probably live in some nowhere place like Bumfuck, Idaho, and it's still the year 1990 over there, so of course all you listen to is music from the 80s 😎
Just discovered this amazing talent yesterday after I read a feature on him in the NY Times. I looked him up and saw that he's playing at the Beacon theater in a couple of weeks, and there are still a few good seats still available down front. The website had a caveat: prices can fluctuate with demand. So I clicked on one of the down-front seats. $635 a pop. I'm really happy for Marcus, but sad to see those seats so far out of my reach!
11:57 doesn't make sense to me. He says he plays the major penatonic of the flat 3. He plays a Cm chord [kind of ,not full barre chord] the flat 3 of Cm is Eflat. He says he solos over the Cm with the E flat Major penatonic , to get out side. But Eflat maj pen is just Cminor pen. Can anyone sort me out?
To me I think it’s just a different way of looking at it.. the notes are the same but the chord tones are different.. so your target notes change if you’re looking at it as the relative major.. it can make a pretty standard pentatonic lick sound a hell of a lot more jazzy or a “little outside”
Using a minor pentatonic over its relative major has a different consonance (more bluesy) than playing the major pentatonic over it's own root chord and progression. Minor always sounds sad and the blues is sad music. Makes perfect sence to me.

For those that have yet to see Marcus King Band live I HIGHLY recommend it. Him and the MKB will melt your brain every single time.
He is my favorite now.. just a well deserving player.. going to see him in October!.. opening for Chris Stapleton.. win win!
The most amazing musician. An undisputed genius. Period
.
Marcus is a fine young man. So grounded and very gifted. Not to mention generous and quite patient.
Marcus is incredible! And not just for his age.

yes yes yes for sure
The blues are back and alive! Great stuff.
Excellent Interview!!! MK has got a lot of style, as well as humility! Thank you for posting this😀
Love that guitar and sound of the strings
Amazing interview. Thank you very much.
4th King for sure!... proudly American made
Marcus King is the shit. imo he is the best act out rn, i hope he brings sum of his bluesy guitar to the radio. this musician plays real music & thats not too common rn. peace and love.
Must have worked very hard to reach this standard plus natural talent and a king is born
What a interesting young Mann
the way he incorporates jazz into electric blues is stunning and incredibly unique
njdkidd1231 Yup. There hasn't been a blues innovator like him since SRV.
@@AnalogOpher Stevie Ray Yawn was a boring bastard, he didn't innovate
Thomas Cat yet no one has been able to replicate what he did lol, literally every guitarist working now days was influenced in some way by SRV gtfoh 😂

Best young guitaris, period! Im playing since 25 years fyki.....
Marcus is a genuine person, highly influential in his generation, good work Marcus!
Omg marcus you are fantastic
A young master. Brilliant.

I'm seeing his for $35!
Long live the King
this guy is the REAL DEAL.....
Hells yeah! Seems the blues are in good hands. Prosperous Journey my friend.
your riffs, The Album's Groove is claiming for an acoustic show!
Just you and the guitar...
Waiting so badly!
i want that so bad id drive thousands of miles..
he speaks the language of guitar....clearly
When u think every chord has been used.....then u hear Marcus-lol Someone who actually learned the ENTIRE chord book-lol
🤘🏻killer player & vocalist
absolut fantastic
got to see Marcus and his dad play together at Wanee this year... fucking incredible, he is the true successor to Warren Haynes
Is there anyone as talented as him that just sits for an interview for a half hour talking intelligently about guitar...
lovely guy! soulful!
Really talented and sweet person he is. The way he explains the whole story is really interesting and fun to hear. Great guy 👍👍
Marcus King!
14:30 holy molly that was amazing!
Amazing - saw him in Toronto in 2018 and the band was tight. Check out that first fret placement on his acoustic...
A manouche French guitar. You Know Django Reinhardt ;)
that's a 'zero' fret chum
He uses that pinky quite a lot in his playing. The sign of a great guitarist.
Crazy!!!
je découvre depuis quelques semaines , je suis halluciné et les places de concert sont prise a Annecy
I picked this trick up from Scofield . Lol
very nice person....
Interviewer is clueless. Marcus, as always, being genuinely humble and patient.
Boy can play boy can sing
He studied Jazz....Jazz musicians are the most flexible musicians! They are soaked in Blues and Swing! Chick Corea, Benson and many others prove it!
Your behind times we're not worthy. Jazz has them by the balls listening.
11:57 "tease the Donna Lee" reference to Charlie Parker.
So reaL!!!
Did he say that he puts the Tube Screamer in the Amp's effects loop?
There is some Tommy Bolin sounds in there?
I dig
i think the 4th king might be a white guy.... im ok with that
Laura Guirguis Stevie is legend, certainly, and among the icons, but he wasn't a King in name. That's the point I think
5th king....lets not forget ed king
All the blacks will get mad if the next king is a white one.
@@adam_-adam you are a dumb fuck.
@Laura Mounier Oh you mean the dead cokehead who copied everything Albert King did? Yeah I remember him, loved his work with David Bowie.
Marcus forgot more about guitar than most will ever know.
What is the tune that he speaks about starting 9:20 ?
I think it's Thespian Espionage
6:48 Jealous Man starts
Instant classic from its release onwards.
Lol the guy keeps say more slowly please...he wants to steal his licks! Lol!

Reinhardt used that guitar.
So who's his dad then?
cheers
Look up Marvin King.
10:46
sings and plays better than john mayer
?????????????????????? Enjoy the music
completely different... comparing apples and oranges
heard that, Mayer should just play guitar with mouth closed at all times. Marcus is well ahead of mayer, Marcus is freak at that age, truthful grate!
as a huuuge mayer fan who was influenced by his blues stuff, i would have to agree with you there. In my opinion marcus is the best of the living.
You are Truth, and I do Love the Grateful Dead, I think King is the next King, finger look? Please
One more time more slowly 🙄 C'mon man!! You see those eyes...5:42
A little angrier ya dig
To bad he had to deal with a lousy interviewer
