I’ve met and hung around with Mark 6-7 times. Such a nice down to earth guy. He really helped me deal with the loss of my mother. I was at the last show of his solo tour in Jax Beach in 2015 and my mom wanted a signed t shirt. I ended up burying her in that shirt about 3 weeks later. I sent Mark a message a few days after the funeral thanking him to which he responded. The next time I saw him in 2016 he came up and gave me a huge hug. Love that guy.

Mark is such a class act. I loved Creed back in the day and later on Alter Bridge. Tremonti is such a huge influence on me as a guitarist and someone who listens to music in general. Great interview!

@jcollell 2 года назад

Mark is the man. True salt of the earth type guy. I so can't wait to see and hear the MT100. Sounds like the ultimate Frankenstein amp. Speaking of Scream What if and Is this the End are rippin. I had just bought that CD at Tower Records in Rockville, MD and remember cranking that in the car the very first time. My favorite Creed song is still What's this Life For. I remember when I first heard the intro and I was immediately blown away. It reminded me of Knocking on Heaven's Door but with more musical content. It just complimented the vocals so well and then out of nowhere you get pummeled by that wall of guitar. Congrats on the great interview.

One of my mates, who is no stranger to owning and playing very expensive guitars borrowed my Tremonti for a gig and never wanted to give it back haha. Said to me that it just felt better than a Les Paul in basically every way and still sounded monster. Superb value for money conscious musicians. Not to mention its damned pretty.

I was fortunate enough to meet Mark at NAMM in 2000, nicest guy you could ever meet. Was able to meet Dime the same day and he was an absolute sweetheart but it's Dime, 500 people were in line to meet him. No one was in line to meet Mark so it was very awesome to actually talk to him for more than 5 seconds. One of my favorite memories.

@gr070491 2 года назад

Mark Is such a great player and an amazing songwrigter. Everytime I listen to his early stuff (both alter bridge and Tremonti) I think "damn this was great". But next I listen to the newer stuff and I realize that Is equally outstanding. He Just keeps developing and growing, also his vocal skills are getting Better and Better. And he Is also a courteous guy: Met him two times during pre shows and everytime It was a fantastic experience. Can't wait to see the MT100, it's the only reason I'm trying to save some Money right now. Speaking of Guitar tones and heavy riffs: overcome and throw them to the Lions. In general the Guitar tones in full circle album Blow me away every time.

It's cool to see that no matter how big a star you get to be, it's still all about being a fanboy at heart! I've been to two Tremonti clinics, and the at the first one, I had not brought a guitar. I was loaned one of Mark's guitars, and you'd better believe that for me, looking down in my lap and seeing that magical PRS, was like for me what seeing Zakk Wylde's or Tony Iommi's guitar was for Mark. They didn't make me give it back until we were on stage doing the rig rundown, so though not plugged in, I "played onstage" with Mark Tremonti. Mark is an excellent teacher and a heckuva nice guy. One of the classiest guys in rock.

Sick interview. Mark is just so real and a hella cool dude. Met him on the Last Hero tour in OKC. My mom saw him going to his bus and got his attention through the fence.

@ballscmcgallz 2 года назад

When I was in high school I heard the cover of "I'm 18" that Mark and Creed recorded for the movie "The Faculty". The guitar distortion on that track is one of my all time favorite rock distortions I've ever heard. I know part of that is the low end from the bass guitar, but the muscle car-like roar of that guitar distortion is really something special. If I remember correctly, I believe a friend said he used a Mesa Boogie Triple Rectifier. Anyway, man I've tried and tried over the years to achieve that exact guitar sound and never really gotten there. I absolutely love that aggressive roar.

Love the model and owned the SE version. I tested three at the same time and I loved everything about it. Except one thing: It was bottom heavy. Sitting down and especially resting the right picking arm on it made it hard to use the left hand for fretting as I had to use it to counter balance. What's your experience with that particular thing? Thanks.

Conversation around 6 minutes in reminds me of an old interview with Jerry Cantrell of Alice in Chains, talking about touring with Van Halen. Eddie picked up Jerry's guitar and it sounded like Eddie Van Halen. most of the tone is in the hands, fingers, how you pluck.

@JJDon5150 2 года назад

This saying is so cliche and wrong. "Tone" is in the amp and guitar, "technique" is in the fingers. You're not going to make crazy pinch harmonic squeals on the clean setting of an amp. You will sound like how you sound as a player no matter what guitar you use though.
