The best thing about Snarky Puppy, apart from the obvious, is being able to find other really great music like this from the various projects of the individual musicians. Mark has just made my list of favorite people to listen to.
I just recently discovered Mark after just recently discovering snarky puppy... I know Im way late to the party but dang... this is fantastic!!! I tried sharing some tracks with friends and they were like "wheres the lyrics?" I just answer "what u mean you dont hear them... they are telling you the story with their instruments..."
I've learned the bad news for Shaun and immediately came back here listening to this masterpiece solo, like a Funeral's music for him. Rest in heaven and thank you for all the love and soul you've brought to planet earth ❤🥹🙏
I was away from my computer when the song started, so when I heard it I assumed an Allan holdsworth song was playing, then it sound like chet atkins, and it just kept evolving into so many different things. Excellent work
ALL you guys are "next level" players!!!! If one's got a pulse this music is gonna find you and single you out for a DOSE!!!! Absolutely LOVE this tune!!!!
The intro guitar tone is simply gorgeous. I need to know how to get that sound! Obviously a lot of tone in Mark’s fingers but aside from the tc hall of fame and the grosh, I wonder what else is in the chain. This guy is fast becoming one of my absolute favorite players. Feel, phrasing, tone, composition, super diverse. What else could you ask for!
Just when I thought I'd hit a rut with my playing, I see you live with Snarky Puppy and my mind was blown. I was at Wembley and I can't stop rewatching recordings of your solo on "What about Me?"
To me this song sounds perfect to being played in a bar at like 2am, it's so chill but interesting at the same time! I discovered you through this song and I became a fan ever since!
Exactly! Its just a total tease up until that moment! And then when it arrives - its still a bloody tease. The piano sounds so lush. The tempo is amazing. And how the drummer pushes and pulls its just hypnotic.
I was just listening to this song. I knew that Shaun was playing the piano hehehe I just looked at it fast. Really it was himself. I really like when Mark and Shaun play together. Crazy sound hehehe.
I just discovered your videos, have watched 3 or 4, and really love the phrasing. I hear bits of some of my favorite players; Jeff Beck, Scott Henderson, and Bill Frisell. You have a really nice combination of blues, jazz, open string chords with a nice variety of close and large intervals, volume swells, and that pedal steel/slide guitar, surfish sounding wammy; beautiful stuff!
I don't know how often I listened to this wonderful song but now, seeing you guys doin' it even kicks my a.. more, what a bunch of musicality, taste and musicianship (knowing what to play and what not!!) all the bass-t from kayo
I'm going to watch this one several times because I have a feeling that this is probably one of the hardest slapping songs I've ever heard. It kicks ass all the way to the last drop
That's how we felt when Shaun played with us a few months ago! He's a monster! And a gentleman and a scholar to boot!! Check it out! th-cam.com/video/q_IjUbuPrMo/w-d-xo.html Hope you Enjoy! Peace and Love!
RIP Shaun. You stole the show in so many ways and still shone a light on the art and your collaborators at the same time.
Wow i did not know he died before now. Thats heartbreaking… Rest in peace Shaun.

Well said...
Damn. That bass player killed it
One of the coolest piano solos

Thanks so much, Wally!
I'm a full guitar head, but jesus christ that piano solo was incredible !!!
Reminded of Ahmad Jamal style.
The sound of a Strat with neck and middle pickup selected - unlimited creaminess.
Folks, the last part is some of the best I have ever heard, bass, guitar, drums and that piano solo, outrageous!!!
Perfect sounds for a rainy day..............
the groove and solo at the end is why i will always live music.

This is just beyond! Such clean playing from EVERYONE! Thanks so much for the work you do! I’m 53 and you are all a breath of fresh air!
I’m 72 and just discovered Mark. Fantastic tasteful player.
David Jenkins hard to get much better!
I've learned the bad news for Shaun and immediately came back here listening to this masterpiece solo, like a Funeral's music for him. Rest in heaven and thank you for all the love and soul you've brought to planet earth ❤🥹🙏
This is one of the most beautiful things I've ever heard
Yes.
4:50 That ingenious riff.
What a tune Mark. RIP Shaun Martin ❤❤
Reminds "Rivera Paradise" by SRV. Awesome!
Thanks for all the great music. Keep it up!
coming from Montreal this is a blessing listening to this song ! WOW
I was away from my computer when the song started, so when I heard it I assumed an Allan holdsworth song was playing, then it sound like chet atkins, and it just kept evolving into so many different things. Excellent work
The beginning successfully makes me cry every time. I will cherish this song until the day I die. Play it at my damn funeral.
Everyone killed it! The end groove with Shaun Martins solo wow....
ALL you guys are "next level" players!!!! If one's got a pulse this music is gonna find you and single you out for a DOSE!!!! Absolutely LOVE this tune!!!!

A good compressor and you're there!
@@svartsjokolade No compressor used here :)
Strat with Texas special pick-up maybe?
Mark is the missing part of the chain.
Tom Phillips you can get very close instantly by using the neck and bridge pickup (second from the top on a strat)
Just when I thought I'd hit a rut with my playing, I see you live with Snarky Puppy and my mind was blown. I was at Wembley and I can't stop rewatching recordings of your solo on "What about Me?"
Lovin the bass face at 6:38.
The solos were undeniably incredible all the way around. Just wow
To me this song sounds perfect to being played in a bar at like 2am, it's so chill but interesting at the same time!
I discovered you through this song and I became a fan ever since!
Wes!
amazin woow
My entire life has lead me to 4:48
Exactly! Its just a total tease up until that moment! And then when it arrives - its still a bloody tease. The piano sounds so lush. The tempo is amazing. And how the drummer pushes and pulls its just hypnotic.
Most underrated comment on the internet.
I know exactly what you mean.
Absolutelty Smoking 🔥🔥 🔥🔥 🔥
making the complex sound and look simple.....knows his craft 😎
The piano sounds fantastic in the mix. Love it.
Just beautiful

Thanks Greg, I appreciate that!
Damn that was hot, the last groove was insane. And Shaun's bass never fails, hopefully there's more on the album. Great work Mark.
I do Ask where such a beauty may comes. 💐🌈
Big thanks Sirs👏
🌺🌺🌺
Every note is played with such good taste...
5:15 onward is just insane
that tone is armazing
Gotta HAND it to a brotha... that tone is ARMazing
Oh my stars . . . Herbie would be certainly approve of that piano solo . . . and the pocket is so deep.
when the drums kicked in, I was just like "ahhh yeah thats comfy"
Btw Wes did a fabulous bass solo ... thumb up !!
Thanks for making Montreal even funkier!!!!
That ending + me = 2 minutes and 12 seconds of pure uninterrupted stank-face. I'm normally quite the metal head but this was fantastic.
Toți extratereștri... respect
one of the best bass solos ive heard on a long time
The most coldest song of his records
I don't know how often I listened to this wonderful song but now, seeing you guys doin' it even kicks my a.. more, what a bunch of musicality, taste and musicianship (knowing what to play and what not!!) all the bass-t from kayo
Rip Shaun ❤️
this is crazy! Amazing also because this is exactly what the city sounds like
I like how these guys enjoy every moment. This makes me just want to go practice and try to better
I'm going to watch this one several times because I have a feeling that this is probably one of the hardest slapping songs I've ever heard. It kicks ass all the way to the last drop
Bravo! Clap, clap, clap......
Absolutely bliss stuff, Mark! Thanks for the music.
Just wow!!!
The main groove at the 1:30 reminds me of a blusey toy story in the best way.
Reminds me of a Julian Lage piece called Nocturne..
Yes, I thought so too! I think this arrangement should resonate quite well with you lol th-cam.com/video/e92VP4RgyYo/w-d-xo.html
You got a friend in me.
Favorite guitar player
That tone...Walls of ear candy!!
heavenly sounding.
oh that Bass!
This song is my ringtone since 2017.....still sounds fresh everytime the phone rings from @5:15
5:47 crazy phrases by Shaun hehehe I've repeated many times.
Wow, awesome
Wow he’s a great guitar player. Great note choices. Fantastic technique. Amazing sound. And a band to match.
love love love!
Doing it for me love the groove feel makes me in my happy place .
At 2:30 my granddad suddenly popped up in my mind, miss him so much
Absolutely a Masterpiece.
Man, you guys killed it. 🙌🏻🔥
GENIALES
Awsome! I would spend hours listening to these guys jamming.
Awesome, mind blowing👍
Awesome!!!
Just killing me with every note. WOW!!
2:25... HE DOES PLAY NORMAL CHORDS!!! THAT'S A DDDDDD. YAY!!
What a great song,killer voicings
Right. This just made my 'favourites' list!
Shaun!
One word: beautiful!
This is one of my favourites
Very Landau-ish. I love it!
Spot on. Great stuff.
Amazing
Cant stop listening..its amazing!!!
Splendid tone
brother... you let me cry with this amazing arrangement! absolutely amazing!
Just been assigned the job of learning the piano solo for a performance in a couple weeks. Wish me luck!
come up with your own?
Might have two. Got some of it down but the performance is on monday so I might have to write my own part for that tricky middle bit
doing both is ideal... we get better by learning what the masters do
Hey! I know this might be late from when you did it, but do you know by any chance how I can get the notes/sheets for the piano solo?
fuck you
This is to funky WHEW 😢😢😢
We have the CD but wanted to come back and SEE it being done.. exceptional as always.
Absolutely wonderful
Brilliance.
Superbe son. Bravo les gars !! Bel exercice artistique !!
This is definetly one of the best songs in the world. Is there anything similar to this out there?
Definitely Listened To Some Bill Frisell Along The Way - So Good To Hear These Guys Work Together. Awesome.
I love it! Very Soulful, very smooth!
Mark's fill at 5:55, wow.
So much feel here omg
Feel like gravity...wonderfull
Brasil!!! O melhor instrumental que já ouvi !
Mark this is awesome !! love this song !!!!
Not sure if Shaun Martin's ending solo is even legal
Yeah, he's pretty good :)
That's how we felt when Shaun played with us a few months ago! He's a monster! And a gentleman and a scholar to boot!! Check it out! th-cam.com/video/q_IjUbuPrMo/w-d-xo.html Hope you Enjoy! Peace and Love!
definitively not
@Matt Bailey They're known to the state of California to give you cancer.
5:50 just kills me
