Bravo Guitaremag pour cette interview! Quelle gentillesse se degage de Marcus King qui va etre la prochaine legende du Blues/Rock et je pese mes mots.

This guy is so gracious and humble. Marcus you are awesome! Can't wait to see you in NY again.

I was shocked he knew who Danny Gatton was as a kid. Danny was amazing yet mostly a regional act in the DC/MD/VA area. Marcus is really gonna influence a lot of young kids to sing and play.

This kid kills me. Just love him and his awesome band.

We are looking at a legend in the making !

This young man is very serious about music. You are one of the King a real blues man... humble. Extremely intelligent interview....

For those that have yet to see Marcus King Band live I HIGHLY recommend it. Him and the MKB will melt your brain every single time.

He is my favorite now.. just a well deserving player.. going to see him in October!.. opening for Chris Stapleton.. win win!

Marcus is a fine young man. So grounded and very gifted. Not to mention generous and quite patient.

The most amazing musician. An undisputed genius. Period .

4th King for sure!... proudly American made

Marcus is incredible! And not just for his age.

He is the least innovative blues player ever 🤣 If you only listen to one artist you're not in a position to offer a valid opinion on music. Also, he is forgotten, apart from the aforementioned old farts and wannabes still talking about him. He was a raging cokehead who copped all of Albert King's style, with a hint of Hendrix thrown in - hardly innovating, apart from his skin colour 👋

absolut fantastic

Is there anyone as talented as him that just sits for an interview for a half hour talking intelligently about guitar...

Just discovered this amazing talent yesterday after I read a feature on him in the NY Times. I looked him up and saw that he's playing at the Beacon theater in a couple of weeks, and there are still a few good seats still available down front. The website had a caveat: prices can fluctuate with demand. So I clicked on one of the down-front seats. $635 a pop. I'm really happy for Marcus, but sad to see those seats so far out of my reach!

Really talented and sweet person he is. The way he explains the whole story is really interesting and fun to hear. Great guy 👍👍

Crazy!!!

Your behind times we're not worthy. Jazz has them by the balls listening.

He uses that pinky quite a lot in his playing. The sign of a great guitarist.

Amazing - saw him in Toronto in 2018 and the band was tight. Check out that first fret placement on his acoustic...

very nice person....

Boy can play boy can sing

So reaL!!!

He studied Jazz....Jazz musicians are the most flexible musicians! They are soaked in Blues and Swing! Chick Corea, Benson and many others prove it!

11:57 "tease the Donna Lee" reference to Charlie Parker.

Did he say that he puts the Tube Screamer in the Amp's effects loop?

Marcus forgot more about guitar than most will ever know.

11:57 doesn't make sense to me. He says he plays the major penatonic of the flat 3. He plays a Cm chord [kind of ,not full barre chord] the flat 3 of Cm is Eflat. He says he solos over the Cm with the E flat Major penatonic , to get out side. But Eflat maj pen is just Cminor pen. Can anyone sort me out?

To me I think it’s just a different way of looking at it.. the notes are the same but the chord tones are different.. so your target notes change if you’re looking at it as the relative major.. it can make a pretty standard pentatonic lick sound a hell of a lot more jazzy or a “little outside”

Using a minor pentatonic over its relative major has a different consonance (more bluesy) than playing the major pentatonic over it's own root chord and progression. Minor always sounds sad and the blues is sad music. Makes perfect sence to me.

One more time more slowly 🙄 C'mon man!! You see those eyes...5:42
