Hey Michael, first time requester here! Would love for you to check out this cover of The Weight by ZBB and Marcus King. The whole song is great, but man, Marcus absolutely KILLS his solo and verse. Thanks for everything you do!
Okay, so the link is time stamped for the spot that I'm referring to. Now, Jake may have very well done this on purpose. I wouldn't be the least bit surprised to find that out.
Anyway, as you can hear, he hits a note that definitely doesn't sound like it's in key. What he does after that blew my mind. He then builds the solo around that note which certainly makes it sound like he did it on purpose in the first place. I would love to think that this is Jake recovering from that misplaced note.
Michael, I would love to hear your thoughts on this!
Hello Michael! I saw this guy live a few months ago and thought he was special. I hope you and your community will too. I love what you do! Keep up the great work!
Some of John Mayers best phrasing IMO.
If I had to show someone one video to demonstrate what a power house The Marcus King Band is, it would probably be this. Marcus's insane rhythm chops are combined with super unique jazzy comps, a solo that almost falls off the cliff but takes you back home in thrilling fashion, and all supported by an amazingly talented horn section keys and drums. This is a feast for the senses and something I think would be a joy to analyze for us loyal viewers!
