I remember the first time I heard Frank Marino and Mahogany Rush...I was in The US Air Force doing a Temporary Duty at Andersen Air Base Guam in 1974. It was warm and in the evening a lot of us would have our Dormitory doors open to the outside Balconies. I was fresh to Guam and thought I would take a night time walk on the outside Balconies and stairways ...soon I heard this fantastic Rock with guitar playing that rivaled some Hendrix. I hung out near the door where a guy was playing Mahogany Rush on his outstanding stereo ... After awhile he noticed me outside and we had a great exchange of mutual love of this Great Band and Guitar-Slinger. He invited me inside and told me about this great band. Thanks, Buddy!

Frank is a smart, gifted, humble, talented, interesting guy. And a fine guitar player too. 3 hours weren't too much, I listened closely to every word. I see why he likes SG guitars and had no idea he used single coil. Seems he likes a thin body and neck. If he wants a single coil they could build a neck through, or just a longer tenon. Surprised Gibson couldn't get all the details to his original guitar - possibly because modern guitarists want fatter necks/bodies?

No matter how hard we try, no matter how much we fight we as "Humans" are intrinsically linked to God. This is exactly why when we go astray we reach a point that we just do not really feel good about anything or anyone in life. Franks explanation about "getting back" is so important. God is light and evil is simply the absence of light. Thanks to the grace of God we have had Franks music for all of these years. What a loss to the world it would have been for him to never understand this principle and not become who he is. We are all aware of the loss of so many artists due to not coming back.

He really developed his own style. Early on he was doing a Hendrix clone. But he really took his influences and did it his way.

And now a year later I can reduce it to this: Frank is a true Christian.

Music has always been my one and only faith, always saves me from myself and the world. Franks music has been my biggest playing and listening influence, always wondered what it would be like to just share a coffee. Being admittingly a guitar hero, we tend to forget they are just people getting through life like the rest of us. That said, like most of us we wonder about a higher power and struggle with the five Ws. Listening to this comforts my faith in life's most basic request, treat others the way you would like to be treated, life or karma looks after the rest! Its just energy that we have around us, its what you do with it that matters. The other takeaway after hearing this is the insight of Frank as a person and how his music came to be! I will be adding this to my creed and playing abilities, I'm feeling humbled yet inspired! Thanks Frank, you never disappoint. Thanks to the interviewer for making this happen.

Everything Frank is saying is well thought out, insightful and grounded in sensible reality considering how he got to this place in his life. So many people talk about "God" and "spirituality" using jargon that makes it meaningless rather than a language to communicate such concepts. Jargon is just empty buzz words people toss around parroting their mentors. Frank is speaking his truth with the authority of someone who understands their truth. Most people talking about such things clearly don't know what they are talking about. You can feel it. Instead of seeing clearer it feels vague and cloudy because they don't even understand the jargon they use. It is like saying dark black. What does that mean? You cannot use another word that means the same thing to explain the other when you don't understand either.

He's right about the gear industry. They're selling to blues lawyers instead of the teens and twenty-somethings who are most passionate about creating new music.

The kids now look with their eyes & don't actually try & use the pedals mostly as starting out or experiment with them ! If you look now all these pedals are boutique pedals with custom paint jobs on them that catch the eyes of the young kids & look cool I guess but don't perform like they should compared to the well known pedals of years ago with much better internals & who are still in business like MXR Electro Harmon nix & others in that time frame that were top of the line . Frank is smart enough to build his own effects & amplifiers & has years ago so we know he does how to do this stuff .

i know exactly what he is talking about.....i've wanted to do many things in my life...just like Frank....learned to play guitar, bass, keys, drums,I build my own guitars, amps, tools...wanted to record, build my own studio, live sound, graphic design, video editing, directing, producing etc etc...all things i wanted to do....and it's not "easy" but it's not HARD.....consequently i have enriched my life enormously because I have done the things I WANTED to do...and somewhere inside I have the gift to be able to accept that if I put my mind to something I CAN do these things...most people sell themselves short and expect to only ever be good at things that someone teaches them when in reality anyone can do just about anything...but the teacher is YOU....YOU have to take the time to teach YOURSELF anything and everything you ever need to do in your life....Frank...I get it pal...never got to be 'famous" in my 60 years as a pro musician....BUT never really wanted that...making good music is awesome in and of itself...no applause...but serious gratitude for you sharing your gift and having the patience and resolve to see the DVD project through to completion. I predict that it will be the pinnacle of your career accomplishments, and the foundation for countless future players.

just want to add....re the new live DVD...even though this concert footage was recorded in the US, this is a canadian release by a GREAT and often overlooked Canadian artist and thus needs to be nominated for a Juno award! by all rights, Frank SHOULD receive the juno for best live recording/concert film for this...as I can guarantee that there will be absolutely NOTHING else in this category that could ever even come close to what he has released. this is a lifetime achievement masterpiece and needs to be recognized as such....the sheer devotion of trying to salvage the audio track in order to release this is worth an award.....never mind the performance/musicianship of the event itself....absolutely unmatched by anything I've ever encountered in the industry. Let's make that Juno happen!!!! nomination deadlines are fast approaching...Frank REALLY deserves this.....I know he could care less about this...but in reality he would learn to appreciate it....the recognition is SOOOO overdue.

A fascinating peak into the mind of a brilliant musician. Thank you.

Right on Don Kemp, thanks for listening! 🎸💥🙌🏻

Great interview. Frank sounds like a great guy. Everything he says here I agree with. I like his take on the rotten music industry too.

If you didn't know Frank marino you do after this interview this is the best interview of what appears to be the most down-to-earth person in the industry which is why he gave them the middle finger and they made sure he never made it too far because of his beliefs and we all know the industry if we know the industry. But I also watching this video and found out just an hour ago which it would be 7:00 p.m. on the 30th of June 2021 That Frank marino is no longer touring because of health issues he'll never be out to tour again and that the DVD is all we get and my heart has been shattered what a man What a guy what heartbreaking news it is today

OK, WELL, THERE YOU GO NOW YOU KNOW WHY HES FRANK MARINO hes obviously a genius when i was a kid i totally idolised frank marino which was pretty weird because nobody i knew ever heard of him but at that time, i had NO IDEA ,REALLY ,ANYTHING ABOUT HIM i just knew that music expressed something profound to me deeply seriously profound now i'm an adult, and i've learned alot about this guy AND I ADMIRE HIM EVEN MORE JUST AN INSPIRING PERSON

Enjoyed this as an older guitarist..67…I agree with the second nature u just play….weird but true…comes automatically…after u keep repetition…runs,riffs…then every solo…is just different from yr fingers at the time..

Great interview.. I agree with him about playing. I learned by ear and I just learn what I want and play it the way I want until I get it down. I play, I don't practice. I don't do scales, I play with backing music, etc. I just play! Great guy. I was into him big time when young. He's really good too. Like he says, anyone can do this, and it's just a matter of discipline to do it. So, it's really about hard work I think. I did LSD when I was younger and I hated it. God I was paranoid and I'm glad I've never done it again. What a terrible drug it was for me. Too each their own.

Yes he's a Christian and does not do gigs now, among many reasons, because he does not want to gig in casinos and bars where people are drunk and loud talking. He would do concerts if the audience would behave and be quiet and listen.

If I met and talked with Marino, I would be most curious about his parents, loved ones. Where did he stay healthy through his visions? Put another way, who helped him stay other than homeless?

Frank (Special), you and I are on the exact same page on faith, literal age, and an innate understanding of common sense. You have always been underestimated, underrecognized, and under appreciated regarding the "so called" Masters of great guitarists. And I also understand that this is perfectly fine with you. This because of the greater good I believe you understand. God Bless You and your Health, and your God Given Talent(s) to Glorify God. Note: The greatest birthday gift I have ever received was because of Frank Marino - Frank Marino is a winner in the definition of Life.

We Collected 47 Guitars, 3 Dobros, Mandolinn: Frank Marino Did Play Other Stringed Guitars ???

That's why I like Frank's music. If the 20th Century management were around in Rembrandt's time they would ask him to paint to a certain size and can we make your paintings small enough to sell them as stamps!!! Commercial music has degenerated because of the mass market. When I walked into the second hand record stores with so many copies of the latest trendy artist, I knew the consumer only bought it for the here and now. I still have liked Mahogany Rush from hearing them in Australia on a least popular radio station. I was won (back in the 70s). Remember, I'm Australian and Frank, I don't believe has ever toured Australia yet I still listen to his music because of his music. I agree with everything he said about the saleability of the other artists mentioned becomes mind numbing music for me. I prefer his musical variety which is why I never ever bought AC/DC records, but I bought Mahogany Rush records!!! AC/DC came to my High School before they were famous and I didn't like them then. I liked Bon Scott in his previous band!!!

@@EveryoneLovesGuitar hey, cool channel! the guitar is a tough/easy, terrible/great instrument! it would've been a lot easier just to be a drummer but you know how it is, we have no choice but to be what we are, or as we are, as multi-instrumentalists, or people who talk too much, forgive us! haha!

36:32 A good deed is it's own reward. 1:20:25 Ain't Dead Yet is my favorite Frank Marino song. That song gets me going like none other. However, my favorite Frank Marino song changes sometimes, which is why I make Frank Marino compilation CDs.

Not only a fantastic interview with an articulate and intelligent man, but he has released a Fantastic DVD set as well- powerful Christian Man and a powerful performance!!

God bless from one orthodox Christian (Serbian) to another

I saw Frank and his band in about 1975 somewhere along there in Atlanta at Alex Coolys, Kansas was playing the same night. What a show. They were both fantastic, I was playing top 20 stuff back then. I quit in about 1979. Just had to get outa those bars. I saw too much evil. But I still love guitar, I'm 71 now. Lot of music has came and went. I was always a lead guitar fan first. I lost track of Frank. But he was the guitar style I liked. Most. Great memories.great interview.
