I grew up with Marcus's dad Marvin in the late 60's and early 70's. We both played and jammed guitar in the 9th grade and in high school and both went on to play in local bands in Greenville S.C. and the surrounding area. I first met Marcus many years later when he kicked my butt at a local Guitar Center Blues Guitar Contest. I liked him immediately but had no idea that he would become the musical icon that he is today. Small world.
Very happy to know there’s an album in the works featuring the Marcus King Band! I enjoy the solo albums, but the MKB is something I need to hear more of!
Marcus King is surely not a musician hiding behind studio wizardry. He can belt out a guitar/vocal version of any of his songs in a snap. His singing and guitar playing make me feel equally in awe as well.
Been a fan of Marcus for years. This young man is the real deal, and one helluva rare talent. A true artist that wears his heart on his sleeve, so we can feel it through his music.
Marcus, just wanted to tell you personally, you along with everyone here on earth with us are doing Gods will. Thank you for playing your part while being a gost in the machine.
Got to meet Marcus in 2023 at one of his shows. The total package. I'm glad to see he's back to writing 'his' style of song and hope it continues. The new album is like a Carolina Confessions II, but possibly even better.
I'm definitely hearing the Sir Paul influence in Delilah. Great song. Great key wok and of course, you know the guitar work is going to be awesome, and it is. Great album, Marcus!
Great video Marty!! I’ve been following Marcus since his first record… he is the real deal man… the future of the blues is in these guys hands now ❤ 🎸🎸🎸
Woah, this is cool surprise. Great interview. I randomly discovered Marcus King a few years back, when I came across his video of "Dyin" and his performance of "Summertime" with Billy Strings. I don't know which song I discovered first. I discovered them both artists around the same time. I'm not heavy in pure blues, but I love his song "Dyin".
Thank you M&M's aka Marcus and Marty. Very nice. You sound great Marcus 👍 Thank you for sharing your time. I love your dog! He is awesome! Marty, as always, fantastic content sir! 💯 Thank you very much for this! 😀
One thing you can say about Marcus is there is no one like him. His playing is outstanding but his voice is God given and perfect for this genre. He was bor to do this in my opinion.
My Niece is a big fan of Marcus. I just sampled his new album... sounds kinda soul or mo-town like... which is alright. This here reminds me of the Allman brothers. And he plays Jazz too. That's a whole lot more than most musicans these days.
Please do another video in more detail. I'm watching this at work and idk if I'm skilled enough to learn the song through just this video. Also "This Far Gone" from the same album please. I'd love to learn both.
Hey Marty could you do an updated video on the Epiphone Les Pauls? They’ve changed a lot since your last video 5 years ago. Looking to buy one and wanted your feedback 😁
Just saw him in Reno last weekend. It was a great show but my wife and I were bummed and confused by him not playing Mood Swings. It's the name of the tour and the album and the first song, why not play it??
@MartyMusic, were you travelling from Nashville to San Diego on SWA on March 30? If not, I ran into your doppelganger on the flight. I didn't wanna bug you, but was pretty sure it was you. Marcus rules! Saw him in LA a couple weeks back. Thanks for the awesome videos!
I got to meet Marcus unexpectedly in the back alley of the Top Hat in Missoula, MT probably 8-9 years ago. What a humble guy, so sweet and down to earth. Love this guy. Great interview.
Marcus King is great. Why is the camera man focused on his face?? Show the guitar playing!! It’s a guitar channel. If a man sits down to play guitar, you want to see him play guitar not a close-up of his face. Please
Hey Marty, thanks for all the amazing videos! Questions are on point and the conversational vibe is a joy to watch, thanks to you! Could you tell me what amp Marcus plays through here? His tone is so snappy, which of course comes from his fingers and incredible vintage axe, but I wonder if the amp is adding to that bright and shiny tone.
Hey, Marcus/Marty; that's exactly the kind of dog I've been looking for; can y'all tell me what breed or breeds he is? I love his vibe and he's just the right size for me. Great players, keep up the good work, Marty!
Marcus Lee is a rock star. I was thinking, the dog probably can't play, or maybe he was just holding out for a ham sandwich. Maybe they could do like a trade off there. Good music Marty.

Marcus is the definition of "the total package"....guitar playing is amazing and THAT voice!!! Looking forward to this interview, Marty! Thank you!

Can't wait! Love Marcus! If warren haynes had a child it would pop out Marcus King
That voice is just filled with so much feeling and soul, and as for his guitar playing , first class, and very tasty.

Marcus is amazing. That intro song gave me chills.
Delilah is unbelievable song. Powerful and tender. Masterpiece!
Marcus King is the real deal through and through!
Amazing talent. Both of you. Great interview, getting him into his process. Nice shout out to Gabe Lee, who is also incredible.
The GREATEST musician in the world. The best thing since Elvis Presley.

Good LORD this guy can play! And his voice is fantastic as well!
been dying to see him! glad to see him here
I can’t wait to see him tomorrow with the Tedeschi-Trucks Band & Chris Stapleton. I’m praying to God that they all play & song together.
Mood Swings is one of the best three albums in the past 10 to 20 years. Bless this young man
Marcus! The neighbors love it! Turn it up even more!
I'm definitely hearing the Sir Paul influence in Delilah. Great song. Great key wok and of course, you know the guitar work is going to be awesome, and it is. Great album, Marcus!
Absolutely awesome interview and fantastic jams!!

Saw Marcus at the Crossroads Guitar Festival in LA last September. Fabulous musician. Thanks for the interview, Marty.

King is the king. Idk if everyone realizes what this guy allows us to listen to, pure magic.

Love Marcus but i prefer his old stuff which is more Allmans sounding and heavy prog jazz jams
Awesome voice!
MK is rad. Great video. And Marty, you’ve become a great interviewer!!
It’s really unbelievable how good Marcus is at the guitar.
Talent ( and hard work) by the truckload
Damn, that’s some righteous music. Marcus is definitely not leaking! 🔥🎸🔥
"He's a ham sandwich." Love it ❤
One almost feels like there’s no other young great guitar players as much as I see this guy everywhere.
What a great conversation!!
A dog! Just gets better.. Guitars and Dogs, great combination
Bravo Marcus!!!❤❤❤❤❤
Marcus is such a good dude!
Please do another video in more detail. I'm watching this at work and idk if I'm skilled enough to learn the song through just this video. Also "This Far Gone" from the same album please. I'd love to learn both.

Greenville’s finest!
Hey Marty could you do an updated video on the Epiphone Les Pauls? They’ve changed a lot since your last video 5 years ago. Looking to buy one and wanted your feedback 😁
That's a cool dog, Marcus. Handsome boy
Just saw him in Reno last weekend. It was a great show but my wife and I were bummed and confused by him not playing Mood Swings. It's the name of the tour and the album and the first song, why not play it??

Nice work Marty.
Thank you! Cheers!
Hey Marty, how about a lesson on Marcus’s song Dying? Great guitar on this song!
Blues guitar lore has a list of "Kings", here is a new one worthy of the list.
Marcus, you got it
I got to meet Marcus unexpectedly in the back alley of the Top Hat in Missoula, MT probably 8-9 years ago. What a humble guy, so sweet and down to earth. Love this guy. Great interview.
Hella Derek Trucks vibes at 18:00 I love it
Dude has spot on singer influences
I knew about this guy 10 years ago, truly amazing. Keeping soul, blues and rock alive.
Thanks guys, I had great time 🙏
MANY PRAYERS ANSWERED 🙏🏿 MANY BLESSINGGZZ FAMM TRAIN 🙏🏿 🚆 2U&YOURZZ UNIVERSE 2024&BEYOND ❤
Marcus King is great. Why is the camera man focused on his face?? Show the guitar playing!! It’s a guitar channel. If a man sits down to play guitar, you want to see him play guitar not a close-up of his face. Please
I never complain on TH-cam videos, but for a strictly guitar only channel why the heck are they not showing the guitar?! 😂
Sjeesh, dude, clearly states, "Interview and live session" in the title, not "guitar lesson."
PLEASE DO SAVING ABEL ADDICTED 😊😊😊 PLEASE!! THERES NO TUTORIAL VIDEOS ANYWHERE ON THIS SONG.
This guy is fucking sick. And I just stumbled on to him with the one about showing off at a guitar store.
Marty please do a tutorial on big iron 🙏 🙏 🙏
Hey Marty, thanks for all the amazing videos! Questions are on point and the conversational vibe is a joy to watch, thanks to you! Could you tell me what amp Marcus plays through here?

It's one of my BOSS Katanas actually
@@MartyMusic 😯
How does this only have 1.5k views?
When are we gonna get the ENTIRE interview?!?!
super!!
Wow impressive
Take away the singing and Marty is just as talented
Marty please tell us you have a patch for that STELLAR Markus tone? 🙏
Hey, Marcus/Marty; that's exactly the kind of dog I've been looking for; can y'all tell me what breed or breeds he is? I love his vibe and he's just the right size for me. Great players, keep up the good work, Marty!
This man has me recommitting my routine to practice 😂
Marcus Lee is a rock star. I was thinking, the dog probably can't play, or maybe he was just holding out for a ham sandwich. Maybe they could do like a trade off there. Good music Marty.
love the dog
I would love to learn how to play man of constant sorry by Norman Blake
What’s that rhythm progression for the first jam that starts at 3:59??
