GMC Forum _ Bands and Guitarists _ Mark Tremonti

Posted by: GrowingDown1 Jan 3 2008, 10:22 PM

Hi all!
Wow, Im not really sure what to start a topic about here but Ill give it a go.....
Mark Tremonti is one of my all time favorite guitarists. Don't get me wrong Ive been around for a while and love the greats like Paige, Zappa, Clapton and the likes, but I just love Mark's style and use of alternate tunings and his trusty Morely wah, not to mention PRS, which I own and recommend to anyone who wants serious quality form their instrument. It seems to me that these days there is so much screamo and other trendy music and I love the fact that Mark's music remains popular while at the same time retaining some of the classic elements that make rock music what it is. For example, wah wah, pentatonic licks, harmonizing lyrics, screaming lead guitars over catchy choruses. Anyway, in my opinion Mark embodies the ultimate rock guitarist, and I thank him for all the great music he has given the world over the years. GMC and Mark Tremonti rock!

The guys got flair I'll definately give him that!

Seriously skilled, I got the (relatively) new Alter Bridge album Blackbird just the other day and I'm rather impressed by it, its got some catchy stuff on it but I dont know if he's a legend in my eyes yet, maybe I need to play it some more, time will tell
