Most underrated guitarist on the planet

I saw the Black Crowes every single tour. the difference between the first and 2nd tour(where marc and Eddie Hirsch joined) were night and day. one of the many reasons I won't see the brother's sell out tour this summer. I've also seen Marc play with Blue Floyd, Ben Harper, and Magpie Salute. if he is onstage you are guaranteed an unbelievable show because he brings it every time in every situation. Thanks Marc!!

The best thing that happened to the Black Crowes. Fabulous guitar player and you can always notice when he's not there.

What a calm gentleman

First time i heard Marc was on Izzy Stradlins 'Somebodys knocking' from his 1st solo album. Didnt know it was him but i LOVED his playing. SHMC was everything i wanted to hear from a guitar player and hadnt until he came on the scene. A truly gifted musician. A fan ever since.

what a tone man! fat but bright, not too fuzzy but not to clean. Very underrated guitarrist...

Seen him live with the Black Crowes loads of times,Marc with Rich is the best fucking gig in town.☮️♊️🕉☪️

Hands down the most versatile guitarist playing today. Marc Ford is simply the best.

Had the opportunity to hang out with Marc years ago (after the crows)at a friend's music festival. His guitar/amp sound was amazing! I kept close by during his sets to see how he got his sound and even asked him, his reply was it's all in the fingers. Haha well I obviously knew that it's a bit more(great vibrato)a VERY underrated guitarist and humble human being.

I caught Marc at the Fox Theater last Saturday , he opened for the Allman Betts Band and man can the man play! Met him at the Merch bench and he is down to earth cool...

Great Guitarist, seen 2 times in Milan with the Great Black Crowes!! Fantastic Concerts!! Him and Rick Robinson, it was the match like Taylor and Richards!!

Man I love that guys playing. I’d put him up against any one out there. He probably wouldn’t like me to say that. He seems humble.

ever since southern harmony, this man has been my favorite guitarist... cool to see the d'addario strobe tuner on his board, i found one a year ago and its killer...great minds think alike?

The guitarist of the planet.... Straight from the heart

Great to see Marc looking and sounding so healthy.

Cheers for turning me on to Asher guitars, awesome craftsmanship, awesome sounding, awesome company looking for that elusive one and done guitar, think one of there’s could certainly do it.

Interesting gear, amazing tone, tasteful playing...what I like most is Marc looking really happy.

Marc Ford is the MAN!

My biggest inspiration. Marc Fn' Ford :) Humble gentleman, bad-ass player.

Other than maybe Jerry/Bob or the Young Bros, there’s not a guitar duo on this planet I’d rather hear live than Marc Ford and Rich Robinson. Back in the mid-90’s they were unreal on a stage together. Good times.

I've added Marc Ford to my list of the very best. Angus and Malcom, Mick Taylor, Keith Richards, Peter Frampton, Hendrix, David Gilmour are a few others.

Wow, very heartfelt playing even just noodling. Really feeling it. Cool interview.

This is a pretty amazing video... the gear is just top-notch and his presentation is super professional. That vibrato is sick.

Craig Ross and Marc Ford should do an Album together!!!!!..... that would be "EPIC"!!!

Seems like such a mellow guy...and what a player. Respect.

I love this guy and the crowes

Wish I could hear him speak about tone and music forever.

Great video. Good to hear more about Marc's pedal board. Love the Eradicator.

Simply... Bad. Ass. Thanks for the inspiration Marc.

Good to see he's off the smack

Man he has tones that kill.

I know he replaced Jeff Cease in the Black Crowes and played on the "The Southern Musical Companion" I saw him perform with on SNL as well. I love both of those albums and the Jimmy Page/Black Crowes Live @ the Greek. Back in 2003, i was working for the Corporate office of Penny Save over in the Palms area of LA. Btw, i used to attend Palms Middle School 40 years ago. Around this time Marc, was solo and he was playing @ a club in the Palms area on Motor Ave. Back then he used a Marshall Plexi 1/2 stack and a Fender Twin Reverb in his setup I never saw the show near my job but, his website showed where he would be performing at.

love his down bends on the G

2:04 confirmed what I've always known: I need a SunLion.

Right on Marc!

You can hear the tubes rattle! Love it

X2 - That amp is a Satellite Cuda, not a Niveus. Price is around $2500, not $5800

I like this guy , good video

Wow .... 💗💗 amazing ..

That amp is a Satellite Cuda, not a Niveus. Price is around $2500, not $5800.

Yep Marc plays for keeps!

I been missing out. As an English teenager in the 90s I wasn't really into many American bands. But the last ten years I've been hooked on these guys Alice in chains Johnny thunders heartbreakers. The posies to name a few.

Genio

I think I used to play the Hollywood circuit with Marc before Crowes ...I think his band was burning tree....Yep I got him on my fridgerator doing benefit for homeless with my band City Hall Los ANgeles Ted Hayes sposered

best tone ever

Came here to refresh my memory as to the name of that beastly valve satellite eradicator pedal, that’s a serious machine 60db of gain boost! 🤯 Do I need another tube drive? No do I want it? Yes meanwhile my amp is begging for mercy 😂

marcs the best

Amazing fucking tone

Dug him since Burning Tree, one of best guitar players ... ever . " real men play strat's " - Mark Ford in 1989 somewhere in Bakersfield. ( Im still using that Les Paul by the way ! ) I purchased my first Strat shortly after

Wish he was like this when I met him. Met him quite a few times. Seen him play tons of times. Ran into him backstage at a mule concert once. That story/night was awesome and pure luck btw. Amazing guitar player but dude was a mess. Pretty much a dk. The best playing I saw hands down was when he played the king king in hollywood early to mid 2000's? It was about a week after I met him backstage at the mule concert. He told me to go see him. Well I did. 2 nights in a row and he blew me away. He shredded and I mean shredded on a tele. He played others but that tele was insane. Talked to him a bit at the malibu inn and he was such a smartass I left before his last set. Regardless MF defined the BC for me. The dude can play anything but his groove is just awesome when he is locked in it. Glad to see one of my guitar heros has a smile on his face. Again wish I had met him like this. Still one of my all time fav guitarists.

I will never play guitar again... Them tones, man!

DUDE !!!!! WERE IN JAPAN !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I got my first real guitar in 1994. I learned to play from listening to the Beatles, Clapton, and Marc Ford.

Where does he put that Eradicator in the signal chain?

4:47- Guitar players are hilarious. "the louder it gets, it just starts doing this" But I think I get it. That ust be GSL (guitar sign language) for compression. What a cool dude, and amazing player.

What was the Home Brew Electronics pedal he had? The green one in the bottom left corner of his board.

I've seen Marc with the Black Crowes and it just isn't the same band when he's not there. Also I saw Magpie Salute twice which were incredible shows. I hate the way Rich pulled the plug on Magpie to go reform the Crowes. I thought Magpie was the best new band around.

Marc Ford ASMR

Does anyone know definitively what pickups those are? They sound absolutely amazing.

Can someone tell me what's the name of the song he plays at 3:00?

It's like shoes... Well Said!

Marcs a good egg

Marc Ford: the Matthew McConaughey of Rock music!

I could get along with this guy ...

That is some pretty nice (and very pricey) gear that he's playing with

Life lessons

Very sad that he is not a part of the Black Crowes new tour. SHAME

Does anybody knows the pick he used. Looks like steel pick..🤷🏻‍♂️

How in the ACTUAL FUCK did Chris and Rich not invite Marc back? Without his signature sound, the recent Crowes tour was meh

Practicing 50 somethin Guitarist don't play as well as Marc, although talks like he's in my head.

Greetings y'all back in the days and he was in The Black Crowes him and Rich and Chris they had plenty of groupies they were on marijuana what kinds of drugs and drank women would fight like cats and dogs and do literally almost anything to get backstage to mark and Rich Linda and Chris as well and the others and to Johnny Colton and the keyboardist as well who was very talented man God bless him and women with fight like go crazy and it do anything to get backstage to Mark and not just to talk to him if you catch my drift

Lol at least in this band rhythm is more appreciated 😂👍🏻

chewing gum *bad for camera work* OMG

Ah, major pet peeve when people confuse tremolo and vibrato...tremolo is not vibrato! Lol

Crowes are back...''watcha think about that''

Damn son this guy's gear is expensive lol

Great guitarist, but who thinks, "Yeah I'm about to be interviewed on camera, let me pop a piece of gum in my mouth first."

Marc looks like he needs a sandwich.

great player, but whoever filmed this needs to tell people not to chew gum in an interview
