*Joseph I met your brother Jimmy and Paul Harwood in Atlanta during another tour Mahogany Rush was on and he and Paul were so engaging and friendly, we musta talked for about 10 minutes after a soundcheck at the Electric Ballroom. Also Paul Levesque left me 2 tickets at the Omni Arena Will Call when Mahogany Rush was on tour with Aerosmith in 79. Your brother's band inspired a lot of people including me.*
@zandig666 *I met Frank over the phone and visited him at his hotel room just before a show that I described here in the comments section. Frank was very gracious to me and my friend Mike Sims who got a chance to tour America's Eastern Seaboard circuit playing his guitar at college town clubs and campuses. Frank signed a Jimi autobiography book I had, and when he looked through the book he paused for a few seconds when he saw a picture taken at Jimi's funeral. Also Frank said "Wait by the elevator in the lobby." About 20 minutes Frank later with Jimmy and Paul exited an elevator and he tolded me to join him as we went into the The Electric Ballroom Club, we got to see the show for free.*
I find your voice to be such a refreshing change to the standard TH-cam Guitar videos that are basically just some dude shouting at you. Very chill, non-intimidating.
So cool! I was a big Frank Marino fan when I was a kid, I was in my third band by then, 16 years old in '79 playing a pre CBS Jazz Master. Btw your pre CBS Strat is a beauty! I sat home after school for hours trying to memorize Frank's licks and driving my parents up the wall while doing so! Eventually got into a good band playing bass ( got in playing Johnny B Good riffs like on the live album.) Love those bass lines. We got tapped by Steel Breeze to dial in their brand new Yamaha sound system. Damn that was loud for a bunch of teenagers to get that kind of opportunity. Thanks Frank Marino for the big influence you had on me.🤘
Love to see Frank getting some recognition! Frank was tapping before 79' just listen to King Bee versions as early as you can find his versions. Def in 77' but I'm sure he worked on it for years. Also Lenny Breau was doing two hand harmonics in the mid 60's. EVH carved his version into homes around the world for sure!!
Playing Frank Marino one a strat is sacrilege, and Frank is still Jamming!!!...Frank is extremely underrated "It's all about the blues" - Frank Marino Frank also plays slide without a slide, he uses a bigsby...I still can't figure that one out I also found Pat travers back in the mid to late 70's with "Puttin' It Straight"
Thank you so much for this video! Sends me back over 40 years. Still have that live album, it ran a million times and all the neighbours knew it as well! :-D Best Johnny B Goode cover EVER!
Great job, Frank along w/Pat Travers was one of the few great guitarists who could sing and lead a band. Both from Canada, maybe something in the snow...
I'm from the U.S. ...I believe your right about the Canada snow! It kept them indoors honing their craft. And while he didn't sing Alex Lifeson gave us some of the most memorable guitar moments of our time!
Frank Marino had his first album when he was 16 years old post a bad acid trip at a very young age people today don’t understand the genius of him and his mastery of the guitar and music
My dad had that album when I was growing up. What caught my ear at that early age was Frank's cover of "Purple Haze". Our house had the best childhood music that I was exposed to. Frank, Free, Pink Floyd, etc. ,all guitarist related bands. It's what made me the man I am today 😝👍. Thank you Dad (r.i.p.).
My band had the fortune of opening for Frank Marino and Mahogany Rush in 1984 in Dallas,Texas. He put on a clinic that night,absolutely a monster player. Made me wanna sell my gear after his first song. Thanks for the lesson.
I saw Frank Louisville, Kentucky jam 78. With Ted nugent journey Eddie money. Ted was acting all cocky. I was front row. Talking smack I think trying to get at Frank. At the time. Ted was super famous all the rock mags had him on. Tv etc. and crowd. Loved Ted but when Frank came on. The crowd got quite were zoned in on frank. Frank was on fire. Kicking up notch by notch blowing Ted journey away Eddie money was cool. He sat on edge of stage.getting into frank. Loving it. Ted looked a little bugged walked off but. Frank. Won that battle
It drove me crazy. I just started guitar. I just learn blues box but I could not figure it out at all. Drove me crazy. But the blues scale does not work on this song but as a beginner I thought it would. But it follows the chords. And you play the roots of chords with changes etc
First heard of Frank Marino in 1975. While not mainstream in terms of commercial success he is one of the baddest axemen to ever saddle up. Would love to see him and Bonamassa hook up for a friendly blues duel. What melodic riff mayhem that would be to hear. Thanks for sharing.
Love your Channel David much appreciated! Being from Canada .....Frank is a BMF guitar playing , recording and producing guru. Tapping was just one 10th of what one could expect from the tickle trunk go back to the early 70's his tapping sounds like a harmony pedal in overdrive even before EHX came out with a gadget. Bad bad bad in a good way
My playing started off w/ Hendrix meets Johnny Winter/ Robin Trower but when Frank's 78 live album hit the scene, that was it. Blew me away. Saw him 11 times plus met him. Major influence. Just purchased his long awaited DVD/Blu-Ray set. Worth every penny. God smiles on Frank Marino
Yeah. Hendrix, Cream Clapton, Santana, Winter and local boy Michael Wright from '72 who was our version of Frank. Then of course, Trower. When I heard the Live 78 Frank was already playing everything I had aspired to be.
My brother and I were at the show the live album was recorded. Frank co-headlined. The lineup was Blackfoot, Mahogany Rush, then Nazareth. It was at the Municipal Auditorium in San Antonio in 1979.Four years later, I became a tech for many 80's artists.
Yes I heard Hendrix on that last riff just before you said Jimi , I've been a frank Marino fan since he came out I turned many people on to Frank and Roy Buchanan to of the greatest nobody heard of,,, I saw Roy tap tunes in the early 70s and Adrean Balue also with Zappa in the 70s great video bro GOD BLESS YA
@@FURDOG1961 Frank was is and will always be a master. Before releasing Maxoom in 73 he was a young outstanding guitarist. He would blow us away with his knowledge of blues, jazz, rock licks. I never saw him tapping in the early years but he has demonstrated it in live shows back then. During the 80's he scaled down to clubs and smaller stages. My buddy did the sound for him then and he would say, that he's aging like a fine wine.
Awesome!!! You totally picked some pinpoint exemplary samples of what makes Frank great and sets him apart!! He has been and still is a huge inspiration to me. Great lesson and introduction to those who are unaware of what an incredible player he is!! So cool!!!!
Thanks brother.. Frank is one of my favorites. Got my first guitar in 76. Stole a lot of his licks. Worked several shows in the mid 80s in Chicago for his band. Lights and follow spot. Very surreal. Coolest guitarist ever.
I was lucky enough to see Frank in my home town of Chicago heights at a tiny place that was only open for a couple months,, never in a million years would I have ever dreamed of that happening..great show and toked with Frank after words, what cool dude..
Great job on the Frank riffs. You’re an awesome player and educational TH-cam channel thanks for the lessons. Please do another Frank Marino lesson for us. Frank is the man!!! Keep up the great guitar playing
Awesome .I saw Frank Marino live in 79 one of my favourite guitarist and inspirations. The you broke those licks down was also inspiring thanks for your knowledge
Frank is one of the very best players ever. You can feel his playing which most guitarist don't know how to play like. When you hear frank; his guitar playing is real and goes right to your soul. Truth be told ,The devil ,didn't go down to Georgia, no , he in fact went up to "Montreal, Canada' and grab Frank Marino!!!!
Thanks for turning me on to Frank Marino. Never heard of him before this. Cracking lesson too. These are about the best lessons online. Thanks for the great work!! Much appreciated.
Thanks David! I'm long time Frank Marino fan. I'll be giving the tapped harmonics a try. For those that may be interested he is planning a 2020 US tour. Dates are posted on his YT channel.
Thank you for spending more time and repetition on these licks, IT is very helpful that way instead of rushing headlong into the next so quickly, much appreciated..
“This is dedicated to those who have unsuccessfully tried to hamper the inevitable forward movement of this band” … that’s on the back of the live album and I have never forgot it from the first time I read it … I’ve seen Frank Marino several times and he never disappoints … the last time was at a dinner club in New Jersey on the shore somewhere … incredible player … go check his cover of “I’ll play the blues for you” … so good 😎
i was 15 years old when i heard this album, one of the reasons i play guitar, so all these years thats how Frank done it, amazing thankyou keep up the good work, that lesson i never thought i would ever learn that, respect
this was awesome David, thanks so much for bringing Frank to light. I remember way back in the day watching Frank and Mahogany Rush live at Cal Jam at my friend's house on HBO. It was mind blowing watching Frank just killing it. I went right out and bought the Live album you showed. I have listened to King Bee & Back Door Man so many times it's crazy. The solos on those songs are insane, and so tasty. Man if you could ever find time to expand upon that solo on King Bee starting at 3:15 that would be so cool. I know there would be a lot to cover, but it would be amazing to have you show us what you can.
I am happy to see that Frank is seeing a bit of a resurgence in popularity these days - he's still going strong! One of the great things about older brothers - you get introduced to players like Pat Travers and Frank Marino :) First song I heard was "Electric Reflections of War" (or something like that) - and I had yet another guitar hero.....
So much fun watching you discover something and then just lose yourself in the technique you are an amazing guitarist, I love it when you say “something like this” and you play it exactly like the artist! hilarious.
great video. re: the harmonic tapping technique, yes, Frank was doing it before the VH phenomenon and it can be heard on earlier studio recordings where for many years i believed it to be an octavia effect. in addition to the harmonic tapping Frank does an amazing faux slide guitar using the whammy bar. it has to be seen to be believed as on studio recording it really does sound like he's using a slide. i saw Frank do a show locally a few years back and he has not slipped one bit and performs at the highest level. truly amazing and very underrated indeed.
saw Frank live 2 times .... he's straight up a rock guitar legend and just amazes me to this day... He can really play those octaves which might seam simple but try it for 5 minutes and your hand will fall off
Frank Marino is one my all time favorite players ... as for live albums ... there are three ... Kiss Alive, Rush-All the Worlds a Stage, and Frank Marino and Mahogany Rush Live ... I have listen to those recordings thousands of times and they never get old ... a true representation of live music from the 70's ... Frank Marino covers Albert King's song "I'll play the blues for you" on A Tribute to Albert King and it is absolutely one of the best ... Frank gets a lot of mileage outta the pentatonic scale with such conviction, articulations and speed ... its easy to see why those who have listened to him cite him as being such an influential guitarist in their lives ... Thank you for the three for all ... love the channel and the videos ... Thanks for sharing ...
@@tarasbulba3190 No shame brother. Lotsa great music out there and I totally agree with your choices! Oh heck, UFO- Strangers in the Night, Queen- Live Killers, I could go on! 😂
First introduction to Frank Marino was on late night TV, seeing him play at the California Jam 2, 1978. Saw him open for Ted Nugent in 79 and he proceeded to lay waste to poor Ted. He is one ferociously tasty player.
Yeah , Frank still talks about that crazy deal , at the end of Franks set , ted wheels out his amp and wants to have a duel , lmao , bad move teddy , he got his clock cleaned
@@larrylauner9671 no comparison Ted was theatrical running and jumping stuff but musically frank stood in one spot and put every once into playing masterpiece full on 10 min jams that were not boring
I went to Cal Jam 2! I was in HS, 16 at the time. It took hours to get to the site (Ontario Speedway - now Ontario airport) - traffic was backed up for miles. Lots of great performances but what I enjoyed most was Mahogany Rush, Heart and Santana. Frank’s playing is phenomenal, was then, even more so today 😊
Awesome Channel, I'll be tuning in . I saw Frank in 1978 St Louis Missouri... up at the stage ,unbelievable!!! Frank is so underrated and I would say the most down to earth musician I've ever encountered ....by the way everybody ,Frank is going out on tour and he's coming to st. Louis .WOW can't wait to see him . love your channel ,I'm going to share it!!! I've been playing guitar since 1966 and couple of channels like yours has gotten me pulling the old Les Paul out and a Half Stack thanks brahhhh!
Ask and you shall receive! Thank you so much Dave...honestly I didn't think it would happen 'cause I figured I was the only old fart on here asking🤣 I've said it before, best teacher out there! Thanks again for sharing your vast knowledge to us mere mortals 🤘
I had/have that same album ,I remember very well how I was drawn to Franks style of playing. Growing up in Illinois in the 70’s,I was able to see Frank in Chicago at Cominsky 1978. I went on to become a huge SRV fan just a few years later. Thank you for this lesson.
LATE NIGHT, Frank marino came out with a 3 DVD box set of his live concert it cost $100 dollars but I'm sure there is some good licks on it. Also there is a japan Midnight special show of frank marino harmonic tapping on the song King Bee in 1979 to check that out also. There is a lot more of frank marino jazz licks he uses in his album IV
Got turned on to Frank n M Rush back in the 8 track days After liberating 🤣 my Dads Johnny Winter And Live at age 9 I was kind of spoiled But Frank like Johnny plays RocknRoll ! Analyzing my playing now 100 years later I hear where alot of my style comes from Thanx Dad Rock in Peace. Great lesson Sir please keep up the Great Work
Unfortunately given Frank's latest announcement regarding his health, I don't think anyone will be ever seeing him perform live ever again. I'm gutted at that news and the only compensation for me is having his recent live at the Agora box set which is staggeringly brilliant.
It used to be a cool way of discovering new music; reading an article in a guitar magazine and then buying a record by an artist mentioned in an interview. Now with iTunes I think music isn’t as appreciated as you can just stream it and move on to the next artist. When you bought a record you listened to it over and over and really appreciated it
Us canucks are certainly are proud of Frank Marino, great lesson & playing cheers!
Hello... my brother was the drummer of Mahogany Rush so it was fun for me to watch your video. It brought back a lot of memories. Thanks... :)
Your bro Jimmy was a very good drummer !
Jimmy was killer , still a facebook friend
Frank, Jim Ayoub and Paul Harwood on bass. Killer band
*Joseph I met your brother Jimmy and Paul Harwood in Atlanta during another tour Mahogany Rush was on and he and Paul were so engaging and friendly, we musta talked for about 10 minutes after a soundcheck at the Electric Ballroom.

EVH too.
Thanks for giving Frank some love !

It's amazing how light his strings are on the short 24.75 scale. .008 .009
.012 .015 unwound. .026 and .038.
Wore out Mahogany live back in the late 70s and 80s. Still on my playlist today. Thanks for the lesson!
Playing Frank Marino one a strat is sacrilege, and Frank is still Jamming!!!...Frank is extremely underrated "It's all about the blues" - Frank Marino

Johnny B Goode from that album absolutely shreds. Best version ever. Thanks for the lesson of course.
OMG!.. I’ve been wanting to sit down and try to pull these licks together forever and just not ever done…. Thanks so much, great job!
Another underrated guitar player is you..... you never miss a beat

A lesson i will work on - thanks ! your explanations and examples are perfect - merci de Montreal
Thanks for turning me on to Frank Marino. Never heard of him before this.
Cracking lesson too. These are about the best lessons online. Thanks for the great work!! Much appreciated.
Thanks David! I'm long time Frank Marino fan. I'll be giving the tapped harmonics a try. For those that may be interested he is planning a 2020 US tour. Dates are posted on his YT channel.
shame he cancelled i was going to be there accross the lake
Frank is one of my favorites.
I had this live record when I was 15. I was just learning to play guitar. Frank Marino fan to this day!
I've been wanting to learn that jazz blues lick since I was a kid. Thanks for posting this, well done!
This is awsome, please do some more Frank Dave!
Love the sound of your Tone.Its so raw.Atleast to my Ear..
Franks not forgotten. He was a beast on guitar. The runs in Tales Unexpected were phenominal. Thanks for sharring.
if i could only have one album it’d be Frank Marino’s “The Power of Rock ‘n Roll”. Amazing album.
Your own tappings at the end of your lesson were the best!
Thank you for spending more time and repetition on these licks, IT is very helpful that way instead of rushing headlong into the next so quickly, much appreciated..
I love the way this cool guy describes the whole thing and the story behind it all so cool I'd love to hang out with that guy learn so much
Excellent. ..ive watched that king bee clip a bunch of times...tried to figure out what he did there with the jazz stuff. Love that
I got in Frank few years ago. Fabulous player! Thank you for another great insight into his playing.
Franks live version of Purple Haze is by far my favorite version of this song.
Frank m. Has been my favorite sence 1980? A long time ago, an uncredited genius.
FYI...his US tour dates for 2020 were recently released. A legend you dare not miss out on!
ACES! loved this review of Frank's style; thanks for carrying the fire!
Glad to have seen frank a few times !!!!
Thanks man! That jam you did at the end was phenomenal!

I bought Frank’s DVD…but I’m praying for him to someday make a final appearance. He knew how to put on a show.
First introduction to Frank Marino was on late night TV, seeing him play at the California Jam 2, 1978. Saw him open for Ted Nugent in 79 and he proceeded to lay waste to poor Ted. He is one ferociously tasty player.
Yeah , Frank still talks about that crazy deal , at the end of Franks set , ted wheels out his amp and wants to have a duel , lmao , bad move teddy , he got his clock cleaned
@@larrylauner9671 no comparison Ted was theatrical running and jumping stuff but musically frank stood in one spot and put every once into playing masterpiece full on 10 min jams that were not boring
I went to Cal Jam 2! I was in HS, 16 at the time. It took hours to get to the site (Ontario Speedway - now Ontario airport) - traffic was backed up for miles. Lots of great performances but what I enjoyed most was Mahogany Rush, Heart and Santana. Frank’s playing is phenomenal, was then, even more so today 😊
Thanks for making my childhood guitar legends come to life under my own fingers!I had forgotten some of the masters of the craft,Thanks!
Awesome Channel, I'll be tuning in .
I saw Frank in 1978 St Louis Missouri... up at the stage ,unbelievable!!!
Frank is so underrated and I would say the most down to earth musician I've ever encountered ....by the way everybody ,Frank is going out on tour and he's coming to st. Louis .WOW can't wait to see him .
love your channel ,I'm going to share it!!! I've been playing guitar since 1966 and couple of channels like yours has gotten me pulling the old Les Paul out and a Half Stack thanks brahhhh!
Very cool.thanks for lesson.
Frank Marino is a primal force in guitarplaying!
The Boston one was only a day ago - you're on fire dude!
Ask and you shall receive! Thank you so much Dave...honestly I didn't think it would happen 'cause I figured I was the only old fart on here asking🤣 I've said it before, best teacher out there! Thanks again for sharing your vast knowledge to us mere mortals 🤘
First, you play great man! Second, I got to see Frank around 2012 in a small club. Guy still ripped it up and sound was just right.
I had/have that same album ,I remember very well how I was drawn to Franks style of playing. Growing up in Illinois in the 70’s,I was able to see Frank in Chicago at Cominsky 1978. I went on to become a huge SRV fan just a few years later. Thank you for this lesson.
After 40 yrs playing, Frank was a early influence, King Bee whoa, great lessons, 🤟😎
Love Frank Marino. Keep it coming please.
LATE NIGHT, Frank marino came out with a 3 DVD box set of his live concert it cost $100 dollars but I'm sure there is some good licks on it. Also there is a japan Midnight special show of frank marino harmonic tapping on the song King Bee in 1979 to check that out also. There is a lot more of frank marino jazz licks he uses in his album IV
This is Awesome ! Nice way to start the day ! Thanks !
Got turned on to Frank n M Rush back in the 8 track days After liberating 🤣 my Dads Johnny Winter And Live at age 9 I was kind of spoiled But Frank like Johnny plays RocknRoll ! Analyzing my playing now 100 years later I hear where alot of my style comes from Thanx Dad Rock in Peace. Great lesson Sir please keep up the Great Work
Haha I read those same Paul Gilbert interviews about Frank and Pat. Went to local used record shop and got confused ended up with a Pat Martino album.
Can't go wrong with Pat Martino!
I saw Frank in '79 with AC/DC, Aerosmith and Ted Nugent and I'm going to see him in September! Thank you for doing this lesson!
Unfortunately given Frank's latest announcement regarding his health, I don't think anyone will be ever seeing him perform live ever again. I'm gutted at that news and the only compensation for me is having his recent live at the Agora box set which is staggeringly brilliant.
Love your playing. Great touch.
Saw him 5 times. Amazing player. One of my heroes...and a Christian at that.
Fantastic tapping. 👏👏Please do a lesson about it🙏
Great lesson! I found it while searching for Frank Marino guitar lesson, I think yours was at the top!
Frank was tapping long before Eddie came along.
Thanks for sharing this. Sadly I don't play. Frank playing what an amazing talent.
Very good! Thanks very much, the first licks off 1977 Live are just fiery
Sorry from King Bee
It used to be a cool way of discovering new music; reading an article in a guitar magazine and then buying a record by an artist mentioned in an interview. Now with iTunes I think music isn’t as appreciated as you can just stream it and move on to the next artist. When you bought a record you listened to it over and over and really appreciated it
Frank is such a gentleman and a master .
dude love your stuff ive seen Marino 4 times !!!!! his solos were juggernauts !!!!!!!!!!!!
im 55 saw him in the 80's 90's and 2000's !!!!!!!
