- Here's the next Three-For-All lesson with 3 Frank Marino Licks From 1979.
This lesson came directly from your requests and I was surprised to see so many asking for Frank Marino and his classic fiery blues-rock playing. This lesson takes a look at a number of cool ideas from a live concert from 1979, which was a year after Frank and Mahogany Rush released their famous live album in 1978.
This episode features some interesting jazz-flavored blues/rock sounds, and the bulk of these ideas came from Frank's performance of the Muddy Waters classic 'King Bee.' These licks include a choice blues-influenced targeted ideas over chord changes, a few chromatic phrases, and lots of nice blue-influenced melodic runs throughout.

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. 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.*
Sick lesson. Frank was out of his mind crazy good.
was? ...IS!
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 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.🤘
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!
Its that extra 1% alcohol in the beer.
@@sebastianfibes2126 BACK IN THE 70S AND 80S, IT WAS EVER MORE THAN 1%
Yes! Both early influences of mine. Saw them live in 1977.
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.).
Skummtoons 66: I almost cried reading your comment. That's so cool.
@@ubda1 Thank You 👍
Your dad sounds like he was awesome.
@@97stratocaster21 Oh definitely. All around great guy and friend of the working girl! Haha. Yea, I miss him a lot. Thank you 😊
Feel you. Had the same thing. Definitely was the influence on my musical mind.
Us canucks are certainly are proud of Frank Marino, great lesson & playing cheers!
if i could only have one album it’d be Frank Marino’s “The Power of Rock ‘n Roll”. Amazing album.
Frank Marino is a primal force in guitarplaying!
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.
Historically very underrated player! Good choice! Excellent new DVD concert 👍🎸🎼
FYI...his US tour dates for 2020 were recently released. A legend you dare not miss out on!
Your own tappings at the end of your lesson were the best!
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 😊
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!!!!
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.
“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 😎
He played the House of Blues Atlantic City in early October of 2006, the 35th Anniversary Tour. Did you see that concert?
Frank was tapping long before Eddie came along.
I've had the #2 lick in my head for 40 years man. Yeah that lick is top three in my all time book. Might be #1.
Yeah...absolutely the best lick ever
I used to watch Frank jam with my friends back in the early 70s and he was mind blowing.
@@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.
Pat Travers live go for what you know is a phenomenal live album. Frank is awesome. I grew up listening to this stuff. Great lessons.
Johnny B Goode from that album absolutely shreds. Best version ever. Thanks for the lesson of course.
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
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..
Early 80's at a dinner club in Redondo Beach, right against the stage. Awesome show...my ears are still ringing...
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.....
I had this live record when I was 15. I was just learning to play guitar. Frank Marino fan to this day!
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"
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
The Boston one was only a day ago - you're on fire dude!
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.
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.
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 🤘
1. 2:45
2. 5:22 (really cool lick)
3. 6:50
4. 8:38
Thank you Mr. Late night Lessons.
After 40 yrs playing, Frank was a early influence, King Bee whoa, great lessons, 🤟😎
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
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
Lick #2. Always struggled with that lick. Thanks for showing how he does it - only waited 40 years to see it done! Great stuff Dave
Glad to have seen frank a few times !!!!
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
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
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!
Dude! I love Frank Marino! Thanks dude!
Thanks for hipping me up to Frank Marino; don't know how I missed him along the way!
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!
You are one of the very few YTubers who covers all these different style. Much respect.
Frank Marino and Mahogany Rush Live! LOVE that album! I used to own it. Heard it so many times. Great lesson. Thank you
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.
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
Vito Bratta and Zakk Wylde mention Frank Marino quite often in GW magazines. 1991 and 2004 respectively. I'm a huge fan. A big influence and quite the inspiration. Eddie Van Halen is my main influence. And Marino is my my #2. I often asked the same questions as you. EVH and Marino did play a few festivals together in the Cal Jam being one of them. Thanks for the video.
By far the best / coolest instructional videos on the tube.
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!!
Amazing that in all the years of listening to " Classic Rock" I don't I every heard him on the radio.. . Aero Smith every 20 minutes for 40 years sure ...egads
Jim his most popular radio song was Strange dreams off of the Juggernaut album that got quite a bit of air time I remember for a couple of years then the local radio stations in Minnesota just quit playing it ! He said that it was funny because that was one of the only songs he did with no solo guitar just harmony & rythem guitar that got played the most air time out of a bunch of his records & music lol .
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 for the video man. It's a sad time with Frank no longer able to do his thing for us to enjoy, but man we got the memories.
A great Montreal band. Mahogany Rush was very popular back in the seventies. Frank actually lived across the street from one of my friends. He was considered a virtuoso and his style was often compared to Hendrix. Great guitarist. 🤘🤘
Btw Your last tapping lick was sick!!
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!
Frank is one of my favorites.
Just checked out the most recent Frank Marino and he was absolutely ripping it up, never heard of him before this.
Wore out Mahogany live back in the late 70s and 80s. Still on my playlist today. Thanks for the lesson!
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 ...
Barry Haynes three of my favorite live albums as well.
BINGO on all 3 albums!!!👍👍👍
Better throw in Live & Dangerous also! :)
@@LJA46 You are right!!! Shame on me!🥴. Live and Dangerous!!!👍👍👍👍👍👍
@@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! 😂
Great !!!!!!!
What a great guitarist player , power of rn'r !!!!!!
I have no idea who he is but damn.. after that first lick, I better find out! That is awesome!!!
Check out Frank Marino's solo on "Something's Coming Our Way". Prepare to be amazed.
In my opinion, one of the greatest solos ever recorded.
You've got some homework to do, Brother!
Check "he's calling" on Frank's Reallive album...its on youtube... just simply amazing
Frank will blow you away a hundred times a day , a really good friend I talked to him last night
Frank Marino & Mahogany Rush Live is an essential album, not just for guitarists but for music lovers.
Great lesson… Frank is truly an amazing player
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 saw Frank at an open air concert in early 80s,have the live album on vinyl,he was on a bill with Ozzy and Randy Rhoads/Triumph/Motorhead,top stuff, dressed in top to toe leather,with that long hair,moustache,doing whole Vietnam,Hendrix diving planes bombs,etc.
Heavy Metal Holocaust 1981 UK?
Franks live version of Purple Haze is by far my favorite version of this song.
Fantastic tapping. 👏👏Please do a lesson about it🙏
I got in Frank few years ago. Fabulous player! Thank you for another great insight into his playing.
Thanks. That's super badass! Been into Frank since 'Live' dropped. He is both tasteful and jaw droppingly fast. Please bring more Marino lessons.
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.
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!!!!
I saw him live, Thanks for the lesson
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
It's amazing how light his strings are on the short 24.75 scale. .008 .009
.012 .015 unwound. .026 and .038.
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
Marino is a VERY overlooked guitarist. Very innovative, classy player . He understood the importance of spaces between the notes !
When I was 16 in 1978 Frank was my guitar hero. As a teenager, I didn't pay too much attention to the greatness of VH or SRV because I was too busy learning and practising my Frank licks. Frank's music had an element of humanity that really spoke to me. Safe to say I never really ran out of challenges. I covered King Bee for years. It's one of those songs that the listener can groove on the first time hearing it.
Great octave tapping !
I just received my new Frank Marino Live At The Agora Theater blu-ray and can't wait to watch it. This is awesome THANK YOU !!!
A long-standing venue in Cleveland - it's a great place to see a show!
@@donvanco3078 I think it got torn down from what I read ?
@@peteloomis8456 Oh no - it's going stronger than ever. It's under a new management company and has been completely re-done inside (Frank is playing in the remodeled theater). A guy I used to work with is the guy that books all the talent! facebook.com/chris.zitterbart
10:28 sounds awesome
At 9.50 seconds into this video I put all my guitars on eBay and took up stamp collecting 😭
Franks not forgotten. He was a beast on guitar. The runs in Tales Unexpected were phenominal. Thanks for sharring.
I've been wanting to learn that jazz blues lick since I was a kid. Thanks for posting this, well done!
I remember first "finding out about" Frank Marino back during my college years in '74 after seeing him at a local bar. Being a guitar player myself, after Jimi past, Frank gave me more than what Trower was dishing out during this time period.
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
*The Beatles & Jimi Hendrix inspired me to play guitar but Frank Marino influenced me. I'm not bragging just facts here, I talked to Frank over the phone when they played Alex Cooley's Electric Ballroom in Atlanta, he asked me "Can you tell me about this band opening for us Mother's Finest?" An I said "Yeah bring your A game." The Mother's even today are a hard band to follow here in Atlanta, and they got an opening band encore when they opened for Mahogany Rush that night and during the equipment take down setup the crowd was buzzing from the Mother's set the whole time. It took 2 guys to bring Frank's pedalboard to the stage, finally the lights dim and Mahogany Rush gets introduced and they open up with Purple Haze and from there Frank and his band commenced a blistering set that also included Voodoo Chile and my favorite Mahogany Rush song Talk 'Bout a Feeling closing with a psychedelic strobe light infused Star-Spangled Banner and the crowd goes wild. Yep he bought his A game an I had a front row seat to hear and see it all.*
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
ACES! loved this review of Frank's style; thanks for carrying the fire!
Saw Frank Marino & Mahogany Rush open for Black Sabbath (Montrose was squeezed in there too) in the mid '70's ... I enjoyed Frank so much better than Sabbath!!
I'm enjoying your 1970s coverage, David. Thanks!
Sad to say I've never hear of Frank Marino, but I love these licks. Thanks for all the great content!
Then you need to explore
I wish I was you, hearing Frank for the first time.
Wow fantastic choice Dave ! Frank is such an iconic player imo, super underrated to virtually everyone that isn't a guitarist ! The first time i ever heard Frank was Electric Reflections of War and my mind was blown !!! Thanks for this 3 for all !!!
Love the sound of your Tone.Its so raw.Atleast to my Ear..
Love Frank Marino 🎸
I think you have hit your stride now sir...brilliant episodes of knowledge!!! maybe a lesson on the 3 kings? or Robin Trower?
ABSOLUTELY Robin Trower. Great call.
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!
Frank Marino is a monster.
Love Frank Marino. Keep it coming please.
