Frank Marino & Mahogany Rush: "She`s not there/Crossroads/She`s not there" 2001​

Face melting performance. Enjoy! Frank takes two solos on Crossroads and flat out vaporizes Clapton.

Yeah, I said it. And yeah, I mean it.

And his TONE? Sheesh! Those are early production DiMarzio Virtual Vintage pickups.



Just kick back and enjoy the flight...

Bad Motherfucker..

Man he’s killer

I like Poppy off that Record too..

Big Frank fan here but I think I dig Clapton's version better still. But both are killer. The live DVD he put out some years ago is badass if you d not have it and it is worth every penny. Poppy is my jam for sure. I can still remember getting his old live album out of the free bin at the used record store when I was in college. It knocked me for a loop when I heard it. So badass.

I always knew who he was but never really delved into his music much. Just the occasional damn this dude kills it. Then I actually got to speak to the legend and I have been listening to him daily since then. Dude is on another level…with a guitar or without a guitar. Awesome human being…

I got into Frank Marino and Mahogany Rush straight away. From 1973-74 or so.
Back then, we lived for shows like Don Kirshners Rock Concert, ABC's In Concert and Midnight Special.
In 1975, when I saw this, I was absolutely blown away. The guitar solo spoke to me that has influenced alot of my own style. Mostly the long sustained notes (bends) and fast repetitive licks. Check it out.

Absolutely, I would love for Frank to see all the pedals lined up. He told me, by way of his associate, what order to put these pedals in.

It’s a really good compressor. There’s not much more I could say about it. What I will say is that every one of these pedals has a different sound then what’s commercially available.

Let’s hear you ripping through that Carl!!!

At the moment I'm using them into the Mesa MK VII Crunch channel. Sounds awesome. I'll have to make a clip.
This was when I got the Dragonfly. Kinda like an OD/Distortion. Into the PRS Hendrix head cranked thru a Power Station. With some flange then Vibe.

Call me crazy but that’s very Marinoish bro…

If you're allowed to share, how did you get to speak to him personally ?
