Very pleasant and low key, Mark describes his playing styles. What a genius.

Great clip! His right hand grip is so strange to me, but he sure makes it work!

Absolutely delightful; thanks for sharing. It's very encouraging to see one of the "guitar gods" just noodling around on the guitar and telling how he discovered stuff as he went along.

This is GREAT!! That time went by quickly. He was so awesome when I saw him a few years back at the Pearl Theater at The Palms. Thanks for posting. :encouragement:

Mark's playing is so tasteful - he seems to always hit notes that resonate with beauty.

Thanks for sharing!

Thanks for sharing that clip. A bonified CGP.
I thought I read somewhere where Chet Atkins gave Mark, along with just a few others, the "Certified Guitar Player" credential. I definitely concur!

I don't think Chet gave MK a C.G.P. title. He clearly knew Mark was a fine player, but I think he was also very particular about the kind of player and playing that merited the title.

I like how he picks up the LP and just decides to kiss it. :02.47-tranquillity:
