Haven't listened that much to periphery, don't really know much about them at all. This video was recomended to me by youtube so I clicked it. One hour and 19 minutes flew by, this guy seems like a really cool dude and I'm gonna check out more of their music now.
I think that's a great idea. You won't regret having such an open mind. They are all amazing people. They have really creative writing and music so enjoy your journey
@@JessyWessy_ Yeah, they all seem like great people doing what the do for all the right reasons. Loved the music, not a super fan of the vocals but that's not their fault :D
i recommend u not to skip this one, but just in case u just wanna watch Mrak's gnarly string bend. 19:28 Reptile 45:21 Omega 1:01:52 The Way The News Goes... 1:14:45 Scarlet
@@oscar.leon003 fr the Marigold arpeggios are a nightmare. Especially the ones from higher like you mentioned. My hand still starts to cramp after I play the riff
I remember them talking (on some interview) about playing a show with all their longest songs; imagine them playing reptile, omega and racecar all in a single show, I'd pay good money to watch that!
@@josuastangl7140 Hahaha well hopefully not just a 3 song show (though that could well be half a set already). Imagine those 3 songs for an encore... epic.
Coming from someone who grew up as a tap dancer: Rhythms sing a song, even if they don't have different notes. Rhythms ARE their own song. Thinking about it like that has helped me get some of the weirder chuggy rhythms in metal music.
it's extremely badass of him to leave his gear setup for others to try out. I got to play his PRS 7 string at a clinic in KC a few years ago and it blew me the fuck away. Absolutely the classiest dude
*Mark is so humble, writes such amazing riffs and it's such a nice person, it was a delight to watch him play and listen to his insight about songwriting
Gene Wong hey man, thanks for letting me get in front of you to record when Mark played The Way The News Goes and thanks for just being a super cool dude at the clinic!
There's something a lot of these genius guitar players have in common and that is the simplicity behind writing complex riffs. If that makes any sense. it's like building a house: you start from something simple(a base foundation) and build upwards from there.
I saw you guys in Columbus and I nearly cried because I've always wanted to see you and it was even better than I already thought it was going to be you guys are amazing I swear
Watching this guy, so cool and laid back. Glad I bought one of his signature models, great guitars and I hope he gains some satisfaction from knowing people are buying them and loving them.
Not always buying, his personal guitar that he cherished and had for a long time was stolen a while back while they were on tour. Mark acts as though it hasn't affected him but it was a signature of his, the first of his, and his favorite.
Ahhhhhh that's why the beginning of sentient glow had that 2010 feel to it. When I first heard it I thought it was a great unique take to that style, idk what it's called. It was kinda overused back then but slowly died, so it's definitely the perfect timing to do sentient glow.
Mark is such a humble down to earth dude, what a great guy and amazing guitar player. Been loving Periphery since the beginning and they just keep pushing out more every album.
Mark is truly an absolute genius for the riffs he gave us on Reptile, they definitely have his chord-based approach to them like he's always done but he's taken them a step further here. I find it so refined and it's a beautiful progression on his style.
Mark! I love all the thumb strums on this album. Your playing style is ever evolving, but still very Mark Holcomb. The drop GG is similar to Architects drop GG. Love it
It is so fucking stupid how good this video is. Such amazing insight and technical talk watered down so that even my 11 year-old understood him and enjoyed (my little one was raised a metalhead so this was captivating for the little guy). I'm teaching basics and we were talking about sound style. He asked me about reptile and the song led us down the rabbit hole to this video. So glad we caught it.
Mark, you're a great musician and as a part of one of my favorite bands I eternally applaud you. Speaking of which, 3:34 the dude in the VoM shirt claps like he's beating it lol
Hi Mark, I just purchased your signature SE with bone nut and plekd from Sweetwater. The instrument came to me perfectly tuned to drop C. I wanted a new challenge with an unbeatable instrument and I found it in what you and PRS have created !!!! Wish me the best, as I do you Mark! PEACE BROTHER MARK C STEELE
I bought his sig off you guys last year - saw it on Reverb I think - and it's my favorite guitar I've owned to date. He's one of my biggest inspirations, so it was really sick for you guys to host him for a clinic
I love Periphery so much but I wish they new theory!!!!! They have such a musical ear! I love theory so much and it’s weird to me that musicians like them don’t know theory!
as an owner of marks SD alpha and omegas, id have to say they definitely make you play differently because my 5150III stealth’s gain through them is so hot but clear
You guys killed it at the Anaheim show, and now you're shreddin the gnar with these playthroughs! The new album gives me the big metal horn, and Reptile is a mastapiece. You and the guys are true craftsmen. Thanks for the wisdom in this clinic. Also, can confirm that this guitar can make you sound amazing whilst playing poorly.
So cool to see Mark’s PRS thru Tremonti’s Mt15. This pairing is exactly what I have, but why no name check for Mr Tremonti?? At Tremonti clinic Mark asked me what guitar I had with me (MH SE), surely these dudes know each other?
@@xFindThers it's not too bad honestly, it stays in tune pretty well for me. With a good nut and locking tuners though it'd be more stable especially in a live situation.
lol as soon as i saw pics with a black nut on it every time he plays i was like yeah... thought so... the nut on my macassar ebony version is trash but i love the guitar
Considering he is a PRS artist, he would likely be using Phase II/III tuners. The nut may be from PRS too. As for locking SE tuners, MannMade makes drop-in replacements for SE models. (Sorry, I realise this is a few months old.)
Mark’s stuff is my favorite. I feel Iike his chord voicings, slides, and bends keep it from being cheese-ball technical like the other dudes. Also, the instrumental music is so much better than with vocals. Spencer’s talented, but I can’t take his voice any more. I wish these dudes the best.
