Great &mdash 03/18/08 - 02:17:33 AM
artistry and a wonderful listen too. I don't think you could play badly if someone paid you to Mark.
Cheers

I'd certainly &mdash 03/18/08 - 07:18:50 AM
be willing to try!For the small sum of $100 I could send you something absolutely horrendous!

What to say.... &mdash 03/18/08 - 06:41:40 AM
you have what the kids refer to as "mad skills". You sure this wasn't just one guitarist... whose trip happened to peak halfway through this warmup?

Great playing- as per your norm!

2 guys I am emulating I think played back to back at Woodstock.Thanks for the comment!

Ladies and gentlemen... &mdash 03/18/08 - 06:45:36 AM
...let's give it up for the only guitarist who played a chord with a number in it at Woodstock...

And Mark, I'm still waiting for that definitive version of 'Listen To The Flower People' that I know you have in you...

Dig it &mdash 03/18/08 - 07:58:03 AM
man-I've seen Jerry play some far out chords.Like once during "Dark Star" I swear I saw him play a chord using all 4 fingers of his left hand!Actually at one point it looked like he was using 6 fingers.Like really far out.

[ Reply to This ]
Great idea - not surprising from you &mdash 03/18/08 - 06:54:35 AM
even better execution. Love it when Deal comes together - one of my faves. Never realized you were such a head.

[ Reply to This ]
Nice to know &mdash 03/18/08 - 09:22:48 PM
that there is another Dead Head here.I'm glad that you didn't point out that the 1st performance of "Deal" wasn't until June 3rd 1971 10:53pm at the Roseland Ballroom.

[ Reply to This ]
1967 at 11:22 &mdash 03/20/08 - 06:29:25 PM
at the Fillmore Jerry slipped the Deal lick into the jam at the end of Born Cross-Eyed into Caution - so you're OK.

[ Reply to This ]
Wait a minute man! &mdash 03/23/08 - 02:40:45 PM
Jerry never played that lick in Born cross-eyed! You must be thinking of Alligator!

This song is so not far from the truth... &mdash 03/18/08 - 07:44:38 AM
I didn't make it to woodstock but friends did and they said that often hearing the primary stage artist was tough because of the jammin going on all over the place!

Sweet guitar work and I agree... probably even if we coughed up the $100 you'd still turn in something worth posting here on MJ

Woodstock Warmup &mdash 03/18/08 - 08:20:11 AM
You are the MAN! Your guitar playing just blows me away Mark! The only crime is that you weren't ON the stage - oh how I'd love to have you on that incredible Woodstock triple album.

[ Reply to This ]
Well &mdash 03/18/08 - 11:20:51 PM
at the time I didn't even play the guitar.I would have gotten booed off the stage playing "Home on the Range" on the clarinet!

Your Guitar &mdash 03/18/08 - 08:35:57 AM
Your Guitar playing make me stoned our stunned... Wow this is so cool.
I'm so impress.

a title for my next song-"Horrendous".Thanks very much for the comment.

Amazing. &mdash 03/18/08 - 08:49:50 AM

Hi
this was superb to listen to wow your guitar playing blew me away so
sweeet. I am still learning to play mine. Thank you so much for sharing this really good sound. You are so talented I could listen to this all day as well. I am going to download your song to my ipod for sure.

Peace Dee.

Thanks &mdash 03/19/08 - 08:25:43 AM
very much.Great that you are learning guitar.If you are not taking lessons I'd recommend trying to find a teacher.Just try to find someone who doesn't force you to play Twinkle Twinkle Little Star from beginner book #1!

Classically '60s &mdash 03/18/08 - 10:09:36 AM
Like a smorgasbord of '60s feels and licks, man. It's like... ooo... whoah, man... are you melting? lol

This is just the warm up??? Sounds pretty close to the main event to me. I could listen all day to this sound, regards M

[ Reply to This ]
Well &mdash 03/19/08 - 02:48:58 PM
you might get tired of that E chord after 5 or 6 hours!

[ Reply to This ]
2nd guitar... &mdash 03/18/08 - 11:36:45 AM
...Country Joe and the Fish comes to mind...except much, much better on the strings...

Cool stuff, Mark...excellently played...

[ Reply to This ]
Bud &mdash 03/19/08 - 02:52:46 PM
determined the identity of the 2nd guitarist- I probably should have tried to mimic him better!

[ Reply to This ]
Really nice! &mdash 03/18/08 - 12:09:21 PM
. . . but I see you got a Woodstock ratings bomb. Did my part to fix it.

This sounds very Credence Clearwater Revival, so fits real good. Thanks for posting.

[ Reply to This ]
Thanks &mdash 03/19/08 - 02:57:28 PM
for trying to un-bomb me.It doesn't deserve super high ratings anyway.I only spent about1/2 hr on it!(You are correct with the 1st guitarist being John Fogerty.)

[ Reply to This ]
great stuff &mdash 03/18/08 - 12:37:25 PM
as always.

I look forward!!

you are a master player

How &mdash 03/19/08 - 04:51:28 PM
many times do I have to tell you-I prefer to be called Maestro!What's that chord you are playing in the photo-is that an Eb demented 7 sustained?

Do I detect a person with M.P.D. &mdash 03/18/08 - 03:27:52 PM
Oh yeah that right, it's only Mark. Say, I have a question for you Mark. What the name of the other personality you have living in your head, and does he also play guitar?

Well I guess that's really two questions but what the heck, I'm with the press.

Great licks as always Mark and you make it look so easy. Kudos my friend

Well &mdash 03/19/08 - 07:56:31 PM
in this case I was trying to split off into John and Jerry (Fogerty and Garcia)I may have gotten sidetracked with a little Chet,Charlie,Ibstrat and that guy-I forget his name-who keeps playing wrong notes.

[ Reply to This ]
Nice interplay &mdash 03/18/08 - 06:38:31 PM
Neat idea, but this is ready for the stage!

[ Reply to This ]
I appreciate &mdash 03/19/08 - 08:03:05 PM
your listening to my fairly aimless noodling.I think at one point I may have played an original lick!

[ Reply to This ]
love that &mdash 03/19/08 - 08:02:08 AM
sound.....yes i do.....danny gatton warming up......limbering those fingers before they go to the races...hehhehhe....nice..very very nice.....

[ Reply to This ]
In the last &mdash 03/19/08 - 08:10:41 PM
few songs I've been compared to Danny Gatton,Robben Ford,Pat Metheny,and Duane Allman.If I was that good....maybe if I practice for 75 years or so.There is one guy I have heard who actually is that good- calls himself Mcboy...refuses to reveal his true identity...

[ Reply to This ]
Groovy &mdash 03/19/08 - 12:53:17 PM
Wow, what a great idea and what I love so much about this is just the feel of the whole thing. Guitar teachers should play this for their students to show them that the vibe and what you put of yourself into what you play is as important (or more important) than the notes you play. This has flava, which is not a very Woodstockian term, but so what? :-)

[ Reply to This ]
Thanks &mdash 03/20/08 - 06:42:34 AM
Glad you liked the song.I always record in straight thru takes-I left in a bunch of mistakes,but I didn't do it over.I was supposed to be stoned!

[ Reply to This ]
Maybe Tony Joe White was there? &mdash 03/19/08 - 08:43:35 PM
I seem to hear a bit of Polk Salad Annie in that intro...but then John Fogerty did tap into that vibe a lot.
Is this a strat? Jerry in his strat stage?
...no matter; great stuff!

[ Reply to This ]
I &mdash 03/20/08 - 07:25:40 AM
had to look up Tony Joe White.Some how I missed out on him.Polk salad Annie is a fun song.I was thinking of CCR songs like "Green River" where he plonks on the low E string while playing a riff.I meant to quote "Suzy Q" but I forgot.The guitar is an old Ibanez Strat copy from the 70's.(There's a picture of it on my song Silver Minor)I have this bizarre problem with my left hand-I am only able to play this one guitar.I hurt it years ago and had to stop playing for over a year.When I started playing again I somehow got used to this guitar.Any attempt to play a different guitar,even with the same strings, etc. causes a very nasty pain.I am told that it's a nerve condition called RSD.Can't seem to find anyone with these same symptoms though! Thanks for commenting on my song.I really enjoy your music.

stoned but groovy &mdash 03/19/08 - 10:33:56 PM
has anyone said groovy yet?

I'm digging some of the CCR references here. (they never made it on the film)

swampy and jazzy. and the crowd was in muddy waters!

[ Reply to This ]
Someone &mdash 03/20/08 - 07:32:38 AM
must have a film of the whole concert somewhere.I saw the full Hendrix set which was very cool.I'm pretty sure CCR and the Dead played.Thanks for checking out my song!

mark is &mdash 03/20/08 - 12:18:44 PM
writing a rock song. nice. i might be rubbing off on you.... as always your style is infectious. fingerstyle needs a comeback kid. you are that posterboy. what is your tuning? is it standard, or do you utilize an open key for your style? i am an uneducated metalhead who only recently found dropped tunings, so any help you can give me to further culture my ways would be appreciated.
Allen

[ Reply to This ]
Don't &mdash 03/20/08 - 12:42:47 PM
know if i wrote it-just messed around in E for awhile then improvised over a stolen chord progression.It's standard tuning-I guess I've worked alot on keeping a steady thumb while playing something else on the high strings.There's a jazz guy named Lenny Breau that I like alot that's really good at that.Look him up on youtube-he's amazing.Don't worry about being "uneducated".You have an amazing ear that's all you need.By the way how did you develop your picking?Are you angling the pick or playing straight on the string?
