After 12 months out of town, Mark came to Cardiff and played this shuffle based on T Bone Walker's Shuffle...video artfrob If you want to send some money to Mark via PayPal his email is markallen1824@yahoo.co.uk
Mark is uncorrupted and loyal to his passion and plays a free man , thats music . Forget “the best” it’s a systemic way to exclude the real everyday players , check the net the amount of fantastic players couldn’t be counted . Mark’s face says it all .lol I’ll keep plodding !🇦🇺
You know what's even crazier? I can go home and blast guitarists who are 1000 times better than him for free. I would go see them play live, but they're all dead.
I mean Not really that crazy Most musicians can't pay the bills with their music A lot of it is right place right time right right person hearing it in the right mood The cream doesn't always rise to the top my dude
Exactly, William! I was a studio musician between bands, very good at picking other ppls’ music and improving on it. I actually wrote in some neat changes for a few guys, some of them I know you’ve heard of, but they used my changes and I never got a mention! In fact! I got duped a few times. When you know the studio owners, it feels like a real smack in the face, kinda stings after awhile…
@@pugilemoltobene3708 and then you have guys like Tim Pierce, who are complete animals in the studio. He has played on everything from adel to shine down. But ask the average person if they know who he is, and they wouldn’t have a clue, but I guarantee they’ve heard him play lol
@@williamsporing1500 hey, Bill - yeah, I didn't care about the recognition. In one particular case, I was supposed to be paid directly by the band upon completion... and they used my recordings and changes at another studio for their album. I won't mention the studio producer, either, he's quite famous as well...known him for decades; he just said 'well, think of it like this - no contract with you, they know who you are, and they're thinking you can't do anything to enforce getting your money! c'mon! these guys are gypsies!' When I heard my shit on an album that ended up selling a few million copies (this was before everything was ALL digital). hopefully, you'll never know that feeling - that brush with potential life-changing wealth that YOU produced but someone else took from you.
Mark always plays a few miles down from me in Carmarthen town. Plays beautifully when ever he busks, heart and Soul goes into every note he plays. Incredible guitarist and lovely feller. :)
Ha ha, if I was there, he'd be round my place drinking my beer and showing me that bit,nah nah, that bit. Oh okay, let's try that again, yeah that sounds great.
Love to see an genius autistic brother living his best life and surviving on the fringe. Enjoy these guys talent when you see them as you don't see them often.
Wow! What I really like about this guy, less is more! Every notes hits the spot! He is awesome! What a pro and your sound is so gooooooooooood! Thanks for posting this!
The “looking for something unique” sign at the back points straight at the guitarist. Probably was not realised by the camera, but still a great detail. And a touching rendition…!
Great to hear those fabulous guitar tones Mark. The "jam" with the Hare Krishna group was an added bonus. Looked like the enjoyed it too. Cheers from Brisbane Australia
Hi 😊if someone drives to Cardiff, let me know. I will drive too😊Love this swing so much..please Mark stay happy with your guitar, I love your smile😊Big hug Martina
what a pleassnt surprize...thank you gentlement from an old Christan lady here praying you have belived in Jesus who died for all our sins so I can see you all in heaven someday...I have a place in my heart for musicians as I used to missionary work at rock concerts when I was younger...

Not all the best guitarists are playing stadiums, this guy is good and deserves more recognition of his talent.
I’m my opinion, none of the best guitarists are playing stadiums. They’re usually session guys like Pierce.
Yes!
Great playing and fine tone. Not all of the world's greatest players make it big or even go recognized. This guy is great.
He is very good!
This guy is incredible you can tell he plays with his heart and soul. The way a guitar should be played. ❤

I’d be smiling too if I could play guitar like that.
Amazing how people just walk past yet would pay a small fortune to see a guitar player with chops like that in a staged venue! Crazy....

Very true!
Some of the best musicians in the world are backroom players, and we may never get to hear them, this guy knows his skill...
Ive worked with some session guys that are VERY good, but nobody knows who they are.

These guys don’t sell their souls for fame and fortune. 🤫

Excuse me, I'm just going to the other side of the room to retrieve my socks, they've just been blown off. That playing hit's the spot. Wow.
this man knows the blues

Couldn't agree more!
He sounds excellent!
Stop the outside bashing and enjoy what's inside this dude
Please more, makes good times roll...😊❤
Nice and smooth, like travelling in a 64 mustang down route 66
Absolutely loved this version. Just right. Mark Allen if you ever read this comment. Great stuff mate your a blessing to the world.
Very smooth .
The man knows his way around the fret board pretty well
Great playing Mark ❤ you're really in the groove, it's amazing 👏 🤩 cheers 🍻 from Australia 🇦🇺 😊
Excellent Mark.
It's great to hear Mark's skilful playing again - wonderful 😀
Thanks for your support.
Good job I wasn't out shopping there,. I'd have got nothing done because I'd have been watching him all day 😂
Ha ha, if I was there, he'd be round my place drinking my beer and showing me that bit,nah nah, that bit. Oh okay, let's try that again, yeah that sounds great.
Understated and smooth as silk with a fantastic tone and touch. All you need in my book.
Wish I could see this musician live. Really like this music. Thanks.
He's absolutely brilliant.... Check out him playing Albatross by Fleetwood Mac.
Beautiful tone , tasteful. Breaks my heart he's on streets 💔 😪 NO ONE SHOULD BE HOMELESS!
I agree but Mark is not homeless....
@@artfrob3754 Well I'm glad because he shouldn't be! What a talented individual. A gift of expression
Go on lad… get it some … sweet 👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿 had my guitar since December and boom…. Absolutely 💯 loving it…
Nice to see someone play some classic blues on the street.. Tasty guitarist.. Well done!!
Some awesome blues playing there!
Love to see an genius autistic brother living his best life and surviving on the fringe. Enjoy these guys talent when you see them as you don't see them often.
That is the coolest blues Ive heard for a while and some tasty licks in there...brilliant...
Sweet, nice touch 👍
Great rendition. Glad to see you back on TH-cam.
Love listening to this guy!! So much talent
A very good feel in this blues.
Five minutes of pure joy ❤
Wow! What I really like about this guy, less is more! Every notes hits the spot! He is awesome! What a pro and your sound is so gooooooooooood!
Thanks for posting this!
" Dan Fogelberg summed it up.. Its not how much you play its WHAT you play."
@@donsscooters Perfectly said!😉
Holy cow, what a great shuffle grove! Swing it!😊
yay - good to see (most of) you back!
Thanks !
He should record a full album, I'd buy it 🎸😋🎸
Yes me too. Great driving music.
Absolutely awesome!
Love it…good groove, good chops.
Great feel and phrasing Mark and I loved every second.
Great clean playing, love the tones.
He makes every note count. If he were shredding up and down the fretboard, it would get boring real fast. A perfect example of less is more.
Cool, could listen all day to this man
Can't help feelin' there's a little bit of JJ Cale in there. Nice.
Very nice … every note counts .
The “looking for something unique” sign at the back points straight at the guitarist. Probably was not realised by the camera, but still a great detail. And a touching rendition…!
What just came into my mind was the rolling stone Magazin and the top100 guitarist!
Street musicians could replace a lot of those guitarists
Ein ganz toller Blues Gitarrist , man spürt die große Liebe zur Musik. Meine Hochachtung.🎉🎉🎉🎉
Awesome, Man!
Cool man really good swingn'blues
Real nice touch. Smooth, powerful, clean
Nice one!!!! Keep playing the Blues. You do it SO well!!!!!!!
Wonderful ❤
Tasty playing !
Unbelievable, this is I'm sure the guy who use to live and play in Brighton, he's an incredible musician.
As a seasoned player ..this guy has the feel ..vibrato dynamics and chops …😊
Wow, bend it man, great style 😊
Every note so tasteful, and beautifully placed! Thank you Mark
Excellent Guitar player
Nice playing, got the feel..Fab..!
Great to hear those fabulous guitar tones Mark. The "jam" with the Hare Krishna group was an added bonus. Looked like the enjoyed it too. Cheers from Brisbane Australia
Hi and thank you for your kind words.
I always try to join in when I hear the Krishnas are getting near me .🙂
He’s a fking guitar genius. 👏👏👏👍👌✌️🖖🫶😎
Bring it on home boy, you true got the blues.
Smoove! Yeah man. Play that thang, Son.
a beautiful strat! excellent play with feeling and fine nuances!
It’s not a Fender.
Great player, nice rhythm tight player .
Brilliant and soulful, bluesy playing 🎸🎶
It takes great skill and control to play like that.
Cool stuff, man, so groovy...yeah.
Real sweet brother...thank you
We need that stuff at Glastonbury which now resembles a Sunday School afternoon tea party!!!
Sweet sounds, dude,, keep rocking
Sounds great man!
‘Love it ! 😉 This has to be the best buskin’ guitar on TH-cam. Thanks SO MUCH for cheering up my day ! Northern Ontario 🇨🇦 Canada
Sweet Sound , Thank You , Sounds Great !! Amazing !! Awesome !!
Great playing and great audio quality !
thats just what i needed jazzy bluesy , its as smooth as the color of the Guitar. Thanks::::
Gorgeous tone ✨
so sensitive and really beautiful
I wish I knew what he has forgotten on guitar, soooooo smoooooth..........
Im amazed at the clean sound/mix for being outside. Proof you dont need a Fender named Strat kids, to play some boogie woogie Blues. Sweet.
That's a Blade. I played a couple in the early 90s, magnificent super-strats and they make a mean J-bass.
Blade strats are actually very good guitars
Sounds great...love the tone on that Blade guitar
Nice 👍 Playing, Mark! Like your phasing and vibrato! Keep playing the Blues!!!
Absolute class 🤌
Sounds good.
Beautiful and stunning. So much of his Joy pushing through from the Blues of which he's had plenty of, I'm sure.
Loved every minute.
Very nice work Mark - great tool for it too!! Levinson Blade R3! Love my '89 version.
Hi 😊if someone drives to Cardiff, let me know. I will drive too😊Love this swing so much..please Mark stay happy with your guitar, I love your smile😊Big hug Martina
Really nice playing, very tasteful!🤘😎🤘🎸
Excellent, simple raw blues!
Respect to you Mark..............................
Ha un grande tocco e ha un'improvvisazione mai banale! Un Grande, a follower from Italy!
Great Playing 🎉
wow mark ,very impressive

Excellent
The guitar is in pretty good shape. And he knows how to use it. 🙂
Fantastic sounds good, happy fourth
Great tunes....Could listen to this guy all day 😃
Awesome! 🙂 A little nod to the Quo there around 4 minutes, & the child dancing in the pram shortly after that, Class! 👏👏😎
He's a great guitar blues player! 🎸🎶
