Marcus King stopped by the Guitar World studio recently to show us some of his favorite riffs that he's written. www.marcuskingofficial.com/ #bootystank #thewell #moodswings
@@marcusnolte7476 good for you supporting live music, genuine gratitude. Just don’t go to GVF shows or leave before they play after you’ve heard the opening act. Don’t subject your ears and soul to GVF.🤣
thought the exact same thing. it actually sounds like the rawness of a guitar coming through amp speakers. maybe they didn't put much processing in post on pro-tools like many other vids. sounds awesome and real
Love me some Marcus King jammin!!! Keep hammerin away youngblood keep the blues alive! ❤ BTW i would LOVE someone to do an in depth video on Marcus' 335 guitar. An incredible instrument in the hands a very talented musician.
Absolutely love your music blues are the best. Please do some more videos I’m a 64 amateur guitarist trying to learn your some of these terrific riffs. How about a riff from This Ol’e Cowboy? My favorite.❤
the tone here actually sounds like the rawness of a guitar coming through cabinet speakers. maybe they didn't put much processing in post on pro-tools like many other vids. sounds awesome and real
Well if you listen to the guitar music from the 50s through to early 70s its hard to believe someone would say its hard to believe a guitar can sound this good hahah Nearly everyone he mentions is from that era, even his guitar is that era 👍 its no mystery, its how a guitar is meant to sound haha could even almost call this a bit bland in comparison! This guys great though
I dig Marcus’s ability as a young guitarist and songwriter. But until you live in the tri-state area, (Connecticut, New York, New Jersey) you really don’t know all the extremely talented musicians that has come out of this area. Stamford Connecticut is about 45 minutes from Manhattan. There has been a lot of talented musician and artist develop in this area. Not everybody lives in the South or in Nashville Tennessee that can really play a guitar and sing.
@@zzyzx-road I can’t disagree with you more pal. Marcus’s grandfather and father taught and set him up to be who he’s become. Yes, he’s talented and can play. But any young musician that makes a broad statement about coming stamford Connecticut insinuating like there would never be any talent musician here it’s just disrespectful in my opinion. You realize Marcus King is around the same age as Stevie Ray vaughn was when Stevie first got known with pride and joy. He would’ve never made that comment because he was a humble and respectful guitar/singer songwriter, who plays his ass off. Marcus needs to think before he speaks. Because if he keeps going in that direction, he’s gonna turn people off.
@@zzyzx-road apparently you’re clueless and not a musician. Arrogant musicians end up with a bad reputation with other musicians. Maybe he’ll get smarter as he gets older.
Went to a GVF concert. No idea who was supporting. Walked into the hall and it was going off!! MK was killing it. Top talent.
Greta Van Fleet is a kick ass band for sure brother!🎸🔥💯💥
Gross, stop listening to GVF. Just listen to Zeppelin.❤
My wife loves GVF and we saw Hannah Wicklund open for Marcus King.
@@turdbooger6051 sure, we will next time they're in town... oh, wait!?!

Just a lovely, lovely player.
Next, Marcus King reacts to Marcus King playing his favorite Marcus King Riffs and Licks .
All great songs as well.
Guitar players know MK does have some “simple” riffs but some r next level. Great to see him break them down like this.
The simple ones are the most genius imo
I saw Marcus in NH last year. It took me about a week to come down from that show!
Love this video format
Amazing sound quality, wakes you up. And, a great player using it!

Don’t ever ever stop Marcus aka Youngblood :)
You are terrific.
Just listened to Booty Stank, great track!
Marcus is great! Sizzling tone!
Booty stank has always been my favorite Marcus king song. Glad he gave it some recognition
Love me some Marcus King jammin!!!
Keep hammerin away youngblood keep the blues alive! ❤
BTW i would LOVE someone to do an in depth video on Marcus' 335 guitar. An incredible instrument in the hands a very talented musician.
So very cool whenever you hear directly from Marcus his thoughts and ideas! Marcus King is the Jimi Hendrix of the 21st Century IMHO.
More like this please... Just the artist showing riffs
Yeah, when did this go out of style? Haha. We need a late 80’s style master class riff tape
@@finnmacdiarmid3250 Agreed!
AWESOME!

Marcus the King 👑
Dude, Virginia and Aim High hit so hard and groovy. Definitely my top two Marcus riffs.
Awesome
New to me, great playing!
Nice sharing Vidio 🇮🇩🎸🎶😍💓👍👍
The action on that guitar looks incredible. Great guitar player.
looks low as shit
No slide for Marcus 😊
@@thejamnasium6447yeah, low as shit is incredible
How a 335/355 should be, best guitars on earth
Saw a different interview in which he said he got that guitar from his grandfather. It’s the heirloom in his family.
marcus was just 18 (i thought) when he wrote booty stank. I really hope he plays it live again. its one of my favorite songs
Virginia Tech is in Blacksburg, not VA!! Either way, you got the vibe man. Rock on. Thanks for your work! Incredible.
Such a badass player, goddamn
Lie lie lie is an infectious riff (Starts at 6:36) . I play it while commuting to work. Love that tune!
Saw you at your 1st cd release party at that brewery.
We spoke about Shawn Lane for a second or two .
I remember your drummer was Bonzo-esque
That tone is crazy 😧
the tone here actually sounds like the rawness of a guitar coming through cabinet speakers. maybe they didn't put much processing in post on pro-tools like many other vids. sounds awesome and real
That Virginia riff is killer! Really like that one.
What a cool dude. Great tone 7:40
hell yea!
GREASY!
Best guitar player out there right now 💯
These were weak as hell…and I like Marcus
@@mr.smithgnrsmith7808 doesn’t negate the fact that he’s the most innovative guitar player out there right now
He had the Ryman VIBRATING when we saw him @;a year ago.
hell yeah
That Booty Stank riff. 🙂↔️🤯😁😄
Tone is in the plywood. You heard it here first.
Tone is in your earballs!
Woot woot
the song the well ain't original heard it a million times....but you are an amazing guitarist and songwriter. I am a huge fan.
Thumbnail is outta control 😂
Love MK. Outstanding guitar player and maybe a better singer? Does both outstandingly.
Yes fuckimg yes!!!
@4:58 Crossroads?
Wish Dimebag was around to do this.
Hard to believe an electric guitar can even sound this good.
Well if you listen to the guitar music from the 50s through to early 70s its hard to believe someone would say its hard to believe a guitar can sound this good hahah
Nearly everyone he mentions is from that era, even his guitar is that era 👍 its no mystery, its how a guitar is meant to sound haha could even almost call this a bit bland in comparison! This guys great though

Im not overly familiar with his stuff but his solo on The Beast by Mastodon is killer.
what a tone! Anyone know what he is using to get that crunch out of the Super Reverb? Some kind of pedal or is that amp cranked?!
Pedal in a cranked super reverb
Hello; I was there - just a TS9 Tube Screamer.
What size strings?
What song was that from that he was playing at the start of the video before Our Song?
He sounds baked
Marcus, a 12 pack , two guitars and a log to sit on. can I get a
Amen?
YES! that didn't take long. lol enjoy your day Sir.@@SamBrockmann
Hell yeah!
Standford, Connecticut residents in shambles hahaha
Great player, I don't know if it's the audio, but I can't un what he's saying, sounds muffled
A little bit of Air Blower on Booty Stank😂
What kinda pick is that??
Almost ran out of room intonating the G string without having to flip the saddle.
Mean as

I live in that area. I agree some fabulous guitar players. But if you are suggesting that anyone is on Marcus’ level, just nope.

I said I want a God dang 335 already. That secret envisioning crap don’t work for spit.
For a second...I thought he might be ED KING'S son.....of Strawberry Alarm Clock and LYNYRD SKYNYRD fame.....oh well
Saying UVA when referring to Blacksburg should be a sin 😂
Man, that guitar needs a cleaning! He is sure an awesome performer!
It's like Slingblade got lost at Woodstock.
