Slash is popular because his riffs are catchy and memorable but in terms who the most skilled is, its not even close. Tremonti is more skilled than most guitarists, plus not only is he technically great, he also puts so much emotion in his music. Blackbird is beautiful.
@@dopler7922 no when alter bridge or Tremonti tour, mark does a guitar clinic hours before the show. You get up on stage with him for about an hour. You chat with him while he shows you licks and tricks and other song writing stuff. Then after that he takes you to the bands sound check and they perform 3 songs for you and a small group. Then you take pictures, he signs whatever you want and off you go
This is the result of having Batio as a guitar teacher...love Batio, Love Tremonti, Love Alter Bridge...this is all just so fantastic and now I'm gonna go pick up my guitar and play. Tremonti, you're a huge inspiration!
I just ask myself how I can have been neglecting Alter Bridge for so long. They really kick asses, Tremonti is fucking talented and can easily compete with other guitar monsters of rock history. Can't wait till I see him on stage at the end of May, as pleasant anticipation of next AB world tour. I cannot miss them.
Tremonti is the best in the world right now. Vai and Satriani are not able to wrench emotions out of the guitar like Mark can. Back in the early Journey days, on their first two LP's, Neal Schon was such a guitarist. So too, was Buck Dharma of BOC. It is a rare talent to be able to translate pain, joy, sorrow or any feeling through an instrument.
I think Mark Tremonti and Slash should not be compared, Tremonti has more technique than Slash, but do not think that makes him any worse or better than the Slash up because they both have different styles of soils and both make great music. sorry my english, I'm from Brazil :)
Depends on the criteria to define what makes one better than the other. Slash is my favorite but there’s a reason why Mark is called “The Tremonster”. Slash is more marketable because of his image, but Mark is a far better musician.
Slash is a good guitar player but he's not anywhere remotely close to Mark. Slash does a good job riding some catchy riffs. But Tremonti is an all-time great guitar player. And the best living one now that Eddie Van Halen is not alive.
Pra mim eles tem algumas características parecidas.... O que mais chama a atenção é o uso do pedal wahwah nos solos. Sou fã dos dois, Slash usa basicamente escalas pentatônica o que faz os solos saírem mais melódicos, mas o Mark faz os solos saírem de forma tão melódica quanto, já a qualidade do som, se você ouvir ambos tocando solo no violão, fica bem descarado que Slash suja muito as notas, ou seja, não deixa a nota soar de forma clara, característica comum pra alguém que está aprendendo rsrs... Toda via, ambos são legen...espera um pouquinho... Dario!!
Guys, here's another great example of what Mark is showing! Using technique in order to make great music and melodic guitar solos. Brand New Start guitar solo really proves it! Such an amazing and in my opinion very underrated musician.
@@RG049 I would suggest 'under a glass moon' or 'fatal tragedy' or 'as I am' The above songs are not very proggy so easy on the ears for a first time listener. But the solos in there are absolutely monstrous
Mark is one of my favorites great guitarist and person in general I talked to him at a concert he is very humble, polite great guy. Any guitarist out there should look up to him his new album is very good too. Best solo on this video too me is Ties that bind the ending tech riff is what makes it so unique just my opinion though no one take it seriously please.
It's not just about the performance, it's about the songwriting. Tremonti is good, so good. So fucking good at what he does. What's the problem in using a wah? It's his way, stop blaming about it. Are you a fanatic of metal-head-musical-surgeons?
He actually did some great stuff in Creed, but it was always in the background because Scott Stapp is an egotistical sociopath. He had some really tasty riffs. Listen to Bullets and you can definitely hear where songs like Metalingus and White Knuckles came from.
Wtf is going here? Creed was great, too. They had a different style and their music wasn’t that aggressive. The solos at Alter bridge are also great but the combination of Tremontis guitar and Stapps voice was just amazing. By the way creed was way more successful and weathered is the most successful album in America of ALL TIME. 74 Weeks Number 1 just the Beatles did that too. If you just look at their music it was one of the best bands ever. I also like Alter bridge but I’m tired of this Scott Stapp bashing. He made mistakes but he also had one of the best rock voices that ever existed.
in my opinion, they are both amazing players. Slash has a very unique feel which i personally LOVE. His feel can be sloppy but in my opinion perfect. While Tremonti is just fucking amazing too and nails his legato stuff every time.
I agree it is kind of predictable when heard like this but listened to in context in the albums and the guy is a songwriting genius. I personally know a guitarist, no one of any note, who can write superbly crafted song but as a player is quite limited. Tremonti has both these skills, in his head he has access to an bottomless pit of excellent riffs, knows emotive soloing and can piece it together with his signature sound. In this regard he reminds me of Steven Wilson.
Because he is playing live here. Studio versions are always double-tracked, which means you have basically 2 guitars playing the same part, with slightly different tone settings, making it sound bigger. And lead guitar parts and solos are often quad-tracked, which means you have 2 guitars in the left speaker and 2 guitars in the right speaker. Here is just one same track split between two speakers. Hope this clarifies the case :)
Mark is a guy who has actually worked on improving his guitar playing AFTER he got famous with Creed. If you see mark's playing of the past 20 yrs hes gone from a noob who played the basic stuff to more n more complex stuff and its great to see his growth.
Dude definitely improved his playing over the years but he was always far from a noob. Creed had a certain style where he couldn't incorporate all this fantastic playing because of Scott Stapp but you can hear his skill even on early Creed albums... But he definitely keeps getting better and better and he's said many times about new songs being old ones he wrote even before Creed or during that he just never used
If you say he's not a good guitarist then you either don't play, or you haven't a clue what you're talking about. He's technically sound and clean. Whether or not his playing makes YOU happy, is you're personal opinion and not a judgement of him.
Tremonti is very good at creating very interesting sounding riffs and catchy tunes that made Creed a very popular band. In Alter Bridge this only improved allowing his riffs to become more developed and interesting. However, if you do any listening to Guns and Roses and Slash's Solo albums you will find he has much more mastery of tone and riff development. To say he can only play blues shows you have little understanding of Rock Guitar, as Rock itself came out of blues, the two go hand in hand
I would love to see a second DVD showcasing his solo album and Creed. The Creed guitar solo's go overlooked because even Mark himself says he didn't enjoy them, but I strongly beg to differ, and I think "Pity For A Dime" is an iconic solo that belongs high up there with some of his best :3
Did you ever listen to Blackbird? Ties That Bind? Buried Alive? Or anything other than this video? And he can perform this songs live too. There's a reason he won guitarist of the year 3 times, sold over 30 million albums, and is one of the most popular guitarists in rock today. BECAUSE HES FUCKING GREAT
Ok!... Let's cut this really, really, short!!!!..... John Mayer, Joe Perry, Brad Whitford, Mark Tremonti, Guthrie Govan, Joe Bonamassa and Saul " SLASH " Hudson all have one thing in common, they all great musicians in their own way! No matter what type of music they play, the style of music their into, how much records they sold or the guitar playing skill they pose. THEY ALL KICK MAJOR FUCKING ASS AS ONE WHOLE!!!.....
there was a time when I tried to cover Tremonti's solo in Open your eyes song, that was fun, I guess that was one of my first attempts to start playing solo on the guitar.
I'm sure Slash has taught Mark something. They've been friends for years and have done several shows together, Slash has even played Rise Today with AB. There have been plenty of opportunities for them to get together before a show to play.
wow mark Tremonti's solo is cool! I came here for ties that bind from Guitar hero and I wonder how to play in a Real guitar for a solo outro. The solo after the second chorus was Myles Kennedy but you thought it was mark Tremonti on a solo after the second chorus.
Great player especially when he puts more focus on his bends and vibrato and slowing down to 'feel' the solo. He can have a tendency sometimes to just play too many notes. A pretty common fault of many new rock players. 2 is by far the best. A few of the others are rather run of the mill.
Okay, I've found some time to give you some points now. First of all Mark Tremonti has received one guitar lesson in his entire life, after one lesson where his teacher refused to teach him Metallica he became self taught…
You answered your own question, they play different styles and genres of music. Often times one of the best ways to learn more is to learn a genre that isn't your preferred one.
We all have our own preferences, I don't belive in saying that some guitarplayers are bad, because we all have our own favorites. I like them both, they're awesome guitarists. To say Slash ain't a good guitarplayer just doesn't do any good when 10 780 240 people like his Facebook page and thousands of them love his playing. Show respect to one another!
I like the sound of this model, can get a nice howl and scream out of it, plus the right Les Paul midrange frequency 'snarl' that has some greasy fatness to it. SWEET.
As far as technique goes, Mark is better than Slash. Slash is famous because of the success of Guns and Roses and his now iconic look. Slash has written some amazing songs and solos, just like Mark has, but Mark's technique is better. When it comes to their practices, Mark focuses a lot on technique, but I believe Slash has said that he (Slash) just kind of plays music and doesn't really take out a metronome and drill.
PunkJ Singh if you go through the back plate of your guitar, you will find some screws and springs attached to the underside of your bridge. Loosen these springs and the tail-end of your guitar Bridge will raise away from the body allowing your Bridge to be moved either way to give an almost Floyd effect. Obviously you need a trem Bridge like you’d find on a strat-style body, bridges like those on a stock Telecaster won’t be able to be adjusted. Hope this helps!
Every time I hear his solos I just think how good he is, it's crazy. It's just his phrasing and solo structure that blow my mind.
I could be blindfolded and hear one lick of the guitar and know it's Mark.
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Tremonster
Mark Tremonti soloing is the perfect mix of technique and emotion. Probably the best in metal at doing both since Dimebag.
Slash is popular because his riffs are catchy and memorable but in terms who the most skilled is, its not even close. Tremonti is more skilled than most guitarists, plus not only is he technically great, he also puts so much emotion in his music. Blackbird is beautiful.
Who's here at least once a week? thumb up :)
He's brutally efficient, never any wasted motions or uneccessarily empty beats.
Honored to have taken a master class from him. Really learned alot and had all my questions answered. Awesome guy.
Is there an online masterclass?

Dude go listen to his band Tremonti. It's heavy as fuck.
mark tremonti is a guitar god. keep rocking!
unpopular opinion : my favourite solo out of the bunch is brand new start
Me too.
100% agreement.
Its Mark's favourite too
@@RG049 I think they might be from the tutorial DVD he did.
Total Guitar
I just got a PRS Tremonti, so I came to hear the man, and am not disappointed!
He should be placed as one of best 2000s guitarist
Tremonti is the best in the world right now. Vai and Satriani are not able to wrench emotions out of the guitar like Mark can. Back in the early Journey days, on their first two LP's, Neal Schon was such a guitarist. So too, was Buck Dharma of BOC. It is a rare talent to be able to translate pain, joy, sorrow or any feeling through an instrument.

Mark tramonti out classes slash. And yes he is better then slash. In my opinion.
Slash is so overrated
Slash is a good guitar player but he's not anywhere remotely close to Mark. Slash does a good job riding some catchy riffs. But Tremonti is an all-time great guitar player. And the best living one now that Eddie Van Halen is not alive.

Sou fã dos dois, Slash usa basicamente escalas pentatônica o que faz os solos saírem mais melódicos, mas o Mark faz os solos saírem de forma tão melódica quanto, já a qualidade do som, se você ouvir ambos tocando solo no violão, fica bem descarado que Slash suja muito as notas, ou seja, não deixa a nota soar de forma clara, característica comum pra alguém que está aprendendo rsrs... Toda via, ambos são legen...espera um pouquinho... Dario!!
God, Blackbird is a perfect album.
Underrated player
Buried Alive solo is so fire. Heavenly

Mark Tremonster!
uhuuuu i'm shivering and excited!!!
I had always written Tremonti off because of Creed, but this guy has talent
Nathan Fazekas could see his talent in creed. But never had as much input like he does with alter bridge
Mark Rawson Especially in his solo band
He actually did some great stuff in Creed, but it was always in the background because Scott Stapp is an egotistical sociopath. He had some really tasty riffs. Listen to Bullets and you can definitely hear where songs like Metalingus and White Knuckles came from.

Just listen to Creed's Full Circle album. His talent is very apparent.
AMAZING much respect to you tremonti
this vid is awesome thx 4 uploading
I want to play like him it give me chill
Why say that he's not great? Say that when a solo you wrote is voted best ever in Guitarist Magazine!
I was raised on Hendrix, Page, and Clapton and Mark Tremonti is on par with them. They all have completely different styles. All Great.
in my opinion, they are both amazing players. Slash has a very unique feel which i personally LOVE. His feel can be sloppy but in my opinion perfect. While Tremonti is just fucking amazing too and nails his legato stuff every time.
Almost all his guitar solo always with wah effect.. His guitar solos not easy to play.. What a brilliant guitar works
mark you are the best yeah!!!!
We're definitely in agreement there!
I agree it is kind of predictable when heard like this but listened to in context in the albums and the guy is a songwriting genius.

Even Tremonti doesn't sound like studio Tremonti exactly. Now I don't feel as bad.
Because he is playing live here.

And lead guitar parts and solos are often quad-tracked, which means you have 2 guitars in the left speaker and 2 guitars in the right speaker. Here is just one same track split between two speakers.

To this day not many things hit me in the feels like a Tremonti Alter Bridge solo. Maybe Metallica S&M. So soulful.
this is in his dvd i have his full DVD, cool stuff he does
THE guitar god.
Nope
Dan Davidson yep
William Heacock He's good but not close to become a God.
samir rashid you must not know how to actually play... hes good but sooooooo far from even being considered one of the best

His playing on human clay album was the best!
Is it just me or does he look super skinny in this? Dude must have packed on some major muscle in 9 years
Would be crazy to just have the instrumentals from the alter bridge songs

The thing is it isnt. Just because Slash came before Mark doesnt mean its a teacher vs student thing. Also your use of all caps does nothing for you.
hands off...

PRS are often said to be higher quality for the price, but ultimately Gibson and PRS are both high quality guitars and it'll come down to preference.

How does he do divebombs on a non-floyd rose guitar? Is there something about that bridge of the guitar that I'm not aware of?
PunkJ Singh if you go through the back plate of your guitar, you will find some screws and springs attached to the underside of your bridge.

Obviously you need a trem Bridge like you’d find on a strat-style body, bridges like those on a stock Telecaster won’t be able to be adjusted. Hope this helps!
