For The Love of The Guitar: Mark Tremonti's  

Seeing those kids get their minds blown when Mark hands the guitar sure brought a tear to my eye. Mark is such a wonderful human.

not only is he a monster player/ songwriter, but such a caring and gracious human being who cares deeply about his very own fans! thats what you call a guitar hero ladies and gents......

The bird inlays of Mark's should be black. And call it Black Bird series.

It's absolutely IMPOSSIBLE not to feel inspired by this guy. He is a true genius of our era.

Mark Tremonti is the Real Deal!! He is so nice and down to earth. I have the PRS MT15 and I LOVE IT!! I cant even run it past 3 in Metal clubs where we play it is so loud. Thanks Mark for developing gear that is affordable and sounds absolutely fantastic!!

One of the best guitar players of our generation. Crazy that we are alive at the same time

Best damn commercial I've ever seen. Mark is my favourite guitarist in the world right now. A nice guy who won, and continues to win, yet so humble. He's an inspiration.

What a class act. I don't know much about Tremonti or his music but when a musician stands behind a product because of it's quality and not just because it has his name on it and even talks about the more affordable versions... he just seems sincere. Kudos to PRS for designing a guitar for this artist and for making more affordable versions that are still high quality. I don't own a PRS guitar but I've played a few and I believe it's my next guitar if/when I can afford a US made model.

What a great guy and a beast of a player

The greatest player of the last 20 years. Works his arse off. Always gives a great show and a genuinely nice humble guy.

I was at the O2 when he gave away one of his guitars. It’s great to see a crowd cheer for a stranger having something mind-blowing happen to them. Mark’s a great guy.

Mark is an amazing musician and an even better human being.

Mark is just great! His solo band is his best stuff IMHO!

A USA Tremonti is still the dream guitar for me. Has been for about the last 15+ years. It will be mine, oh yes it will be mine.

His feel. The bluesy rock side mixed with metal infused riffs. The drone notes of an alternate tuned guitar. He's inspired me to push myself as a guitarist. Awe-inspiring. Hands down, my favorite guitarist.

I run 2 PRS guitars paired with Marks MT15 and a Mesa cab. Absolutely massive tone from that amp!

I was lucky enough to receive a guitar that was played on stage by Mark last September in NYC Playstation Theater. PRS SE custom is amazing to play and the green burst on it is gorgeous!!!

5:19 pause and screenshot to get the tunings the songs are played in, some may not be the same as the record but sure as hell helpful to know those that are

It was in Birmingham that Mark gave that kid his guitar, such a touching moment that I remember watching from the seating block opposite!

If I can play just 1% as good as mark, I’ll die a happy man 🤘🏼

I finally got a PRS S2 Single cut and everything about my playing changed. Tremonti changed my life in the late 90s and early 2000's and I'll forever be grateful. Music dose heal the soul... everything from a brutal low E to a screaming high E!!!! Forever a Fan of PRS and Tremonti 🤘😎🤘

Mark Tremonti has some of the best riffs I’ve ever heard

This is why we love you Mark Tremonti!!!!

The aesthetic and tonal beauty of PRS is unmatched. Would kill for a Custom 24-08

Down to earth and just real. Never lose sight of who you are.

You inspired so many with your music. It is actually insane. No body talks about your influence in modern guitar players..

Never a fan of his music but I've only ever seen his name on quality product and that alone is respectable.

One of the nicest human beings on the planet, and such a monster player!!!! Mark deserves every accolade he receives.

As big as he is, he might still be very underrated. I don’t know we’ve ever seen or heard as much of him as he can do. I think we’ve heard what’s been required of the songs he’s writing. I imagine he has tons of music sitting on a few hard drives somewhere that contain music that might be better than some or most of what we’ve heard. Maybe even his best personal works are there. But that’s not what was required of the music he was putting out. Class act, humble, gear nerd, undoubtedly one he of the best guitarists anyone has ever seen

This man and all of his band peers are a godsend to us musicians. Such an inspiring video and it makes me want to pick up my guitar instantly. What an honor it must be to be represented by PRS. Definitely the most important guitarist in my life.

What an amazing dude. My hero. Inspired me in so many ways. The greatest modern rock guitar player in my opinion, and one of the greatest songwriters of all time.

How legendary to be given a guitar Mark Tremonti just beat the shit out of, literally right off his shoulder into your hands. What a guy.

OOOOOOOOOOOH YEAH! The internet needs more videos of Mark! I wish they'd come to Turkey at least once...

These guys are great human beings

I would cry too if I won one!!! Genuine tears!! Amazing story and video!!!

So mine didn't come from a live show, but the first guitar I owned was a Tremonti SE that I won from the band, via AlterBridge.com, back in 2004 when they were first starting up. I had no idea how to play, but I tinkered with it and played around, and got together with some friends and started a shitty little garage rock/metal band, and it got my feet wet. That band didn't last, but I did, and I'm still here 15 years later making music. I've gone down a more acoustic path, but I still have that SE in its case and I still cherish my memories of getting up on stage with it with that first band, and learning what it felt like to be on stage making music and be on the other side of that exchange that I'd spent so many years watching from the floor. My eternal thanks and gratitude go out to Mark and the rest of Alter Bridge for giving that guitar away - never would have gotten started if I hadn't won that SE back in the day!

Mark, what a GREAT way to motivate people, even KIDS to play guitar by giving them away! I am a PRS lover and I can relate! ENJOY and....Keep on rockin‘🎸🎸🎸👍🏻😎

Mark is a hero and his contribution to the modern rock/metal world can’t be overstated. It would be good to see him play an SE model as part of his regular touring rig

Es un ser maravilloso por dentro y por fuera. Lo amo! Espero verte con tu banda en Buenos Aires pronto. Necesito admirarte❤❤❤

It was a life changing moment for my son, he plays that PRS everyday x Wembley 2019

The MT15 is amazing for the money! It's the little sidekick to my Mesa Boogie JP-2C and it punches WAY above it's weight. The perfect amp to bring to jams and practices :) In fact I sold my old Boogie Mark V:25 since the MT15 is just as portable and does a fantastic job for a fraction of the price. Kudos to PRS for making such phenomenal gear, I've been playing PRS guitars since 2005 and I'll never be without one :)

Just so totally awesome - sitting here tearing up so happy for them WTG Mark & Crew -- truly great to watch

Go Mark and PRS! Giving the guitars to those kids is awesome!

Great to see Mark giving back to fans and make their dreams come true - Thank You Mark. for all you do!!

A guitar hero, right there!

I remember listening to Blackbird for the first time. The solo cut me in half. I lost a good friend when we were 22. That song reminds me of him. The solo expresses how I feel when I think about it (if that makes any sense). The Tremonti sound resonates with me. I've seen AB and Tremonti five times collectively. That Tremonti sound made every show IMO.

I love mine. Wonderful guitar, Company and Amazing guitar player. Love that you give them away!! Great stuff Mark and PRS!! Just picked up a new 35th Anniversary Core 10 Top. Another incredible guitar from PRS!

I Love my MT15 and is absolutely amazing through my homemade 2x12 with english V30’s. Cannot Wait for the MT100!! May have to sell my MESA to get....OH Well!!! Got to meet Mark is San Antonio about a year ago and what a genuinely nice dude and he is the one that finally inspired me at the age of 52 (now 58) to learn to play. Loving it.

Class Act! My PRS Core “Yellow Tiger” comes in Monday from Sweetwater! 🤘🤘🤘

Salute to the man who made me want to be a guitarist!

Seen em in spokane last weekend....3 hrs clinic with mark....mindcrusher....thank you mark for your time ...insight and wisdom....

Actually it is his signature model BECAUSE it’s his favorite guitar and not the opposite. That’s why I love this brand 🤟🏼🔥

Amazing musician and such a humble dude. Giving away his guitar like that is awesome, he has probably made more future musicians by doing that than he realizes.

Wonderful video. Thanks for sharing. One of the modern greats 🤘

Amazing documentary ... I love it !!

mark tremonti one of my guitar idols! and my love for PRS guitars is because of him in the first place!

World Class band !! Great music and big hearts for bringing someone a once in a life time memory !! I miss those moments that Mark talked about playing soccer and being on stage !! I wish I could have had my son see me play !! Now I due to medical issues I am having trouble playing guitar. Life is short, live, love each day to the fullest !!

Met Mark Tremonti in Chicago after the show! Most humble guitarist ever and wonderful human being,gave me his signed guitar pick, these guys sound clean yet punchy on stage and musicianship at highest level. They are the next Metallica in terms of the musical impact.

I've got a PRS Custom 22 SE and it is phenomenal. Similar price point as my MIM Fender Strat...but twice as good, in terms of quality..across the board! I've also got Gibson Les Paul Tribute which has a satin (re: almost non existent!) finish. While I strongly prefer the double cut body shape of PRS ;and just in general as well),I prefer the tones of the single cut Les Paul. All this is getting to... I couldn't bring myself to buy a Tremonti sig, but if he picked me out and gave it to me...I have a feeling it would become my number one! Just...the PRS playability + phenomenal finishes...combined with the single cut LP kind of ballpark tones. Together, I'll bet it would be dynamite!

Ur my hero mark👍🏻! I have your SE(students edition) model and it satisfies my sound( more than) . Thanks 4 the opportunity mark and PRS! My dream is to possess or at least have the American version but that’s too far a stretch even for my dreams! Rock on 🤘 mark tremonti and PRS” the greatest guitar in the universe”! Love from Mizoram !

How come I just saw this...... lol. Mark is still my fav!!!! Since i was 12 years old

Mark and Santana are the reason I play PRS. He's one of my influences. A great musician and even better person

I've been playing guitar for about 40 years but didn't try a PRS until about 2009. By far my favorite guitars. I own a couple custom 24s, an Artist Package custom 24 and a 7 string. They are addicting to play and to me the perfect instrument.

Amazing brother! Rock on 🤘🏻

what a lovely story behind , i hope see u one day my champion

I've got one of the Tremonti SE guitars and it's amazing! Like Mark's initial problem with PRS, I don't perform with it, but I love playing it in my bedroom. I use the MT15 amplifier in my band and it sounds amazing! We're not metal, but with the gain dialed back a bit, the amp fits the sound perfectly. PRS is really cranking out some great gear!

I have SE Tremonti and MT15, that’s a killer combination for the money 🤟

Such a great guy!!!! Love this band 4 Life!!!

mark is the best... he´s my guitar hero 🤘🤘🤘

I like anything that has Tremonti in it

One more reason I love prs I have the SE custom 24 huge respect for mark giving them away at the shows I can’t believe it what a great person God bless you mark

Those birds were made for Blackbird. PRS and Tremonti are the match made in heaven!

Solid dude! Solid guitar company!!

Man... I'm waiting for the day PRS will give Myles a signature model!

Awesome video PRS.

I love mark

Amazing man 🎸🎤❤

What a great human being !!

Mark is such a nice dude and killer player!🤘🏻

Awesome PRS guitar,I loveit

Jesus christ i love this guy, he is the most awesome guy in heart.

Mark is the most humble dude and a great instructor, as well. I feel grateful to have met him before the world started to go haywire! Feel free to check out my rig rundown videos with Mark! 🙌🏻

I love that first minute of him explaining his experience with buying his first PRS. That's very similar to me. I actually put mine on layaway and paid it off over a couple months. And I couldn't be happier that I did. Best guitar I've ever played. I am 100% a PRS guy now.

He truly is the goat. I'm convinced. I have always been but this guy is incredible.

The most influential Guitarist in the world in the last 20 years!! PRS was Should be proud they grabbed him when they did

Paul and Mark definitely make a great team.

The best👏👏

Mark Tremonti , you are the reason that made me to play the guitar. And the song Blackbird. I got my own PRS. Thank you all 😘🤘

What a great guy. I’m sold to PRS and Mark’s gear. Amazing music!

I recently bought a used SE Tremonti Standard on a whim because it was offered dirt cheap. It had Gibson Iommi pickups and a PRS adjustable wraparound bridge installed and with these mods it blows any other LP type guitar in a wide price range around it out of the water. It's not even a competition. I'm not a fan of his music (never really gave it much of a shot though) but the gear he put's out with PRS is outstanding for the price range.

Awesome human ! And Quality instrument .

God bless you Mark

What an amazing dude

Mark is my fav guitarist

PRS genuinely has great products. I run an SE Mark Holcomb into an MT15 and it’s great. Not only do I use that rig for metal but that rig is what I use in music college. I’m in jazz band and that rig works so well in that setting. Just goes to show how versatile PRS is.

He is my Guitar Hero 👍

Coolest guy right there 👊🏻

I am so excited for the MT100! Might just be the one amp I'll ever need.

Very nice video!!

Honestly, my favorite part? The tech wearing a Cantillon sweatshirt. Fantastic beer for a great tech setting up amazing guitars.
