If you're listening to this on iTunes consider leaving me a review (good or bad) and let me know how I'm doin!   By way of announcements, there is a brand spankin' new website over at homestudiosimplified.com and I am currently in the process of creating a VIP membership area that is going to provide a ton of value as well as some sweet multitracks for you to practice with. Some, of which you will be able to add to your portfolio as well!   If you're listening to this on February 1st or after, the doors are open until February 28th to the Studio Without Walls Song Contest sponsored by IK Multimedia, BandLab, and yours truly!   With over $2000 worth of prizes involved as well as a great opportunity to get your music heard by some notable producers, mix engineers, and mastering engineers... this is definitely something you will want to check out!   Mark Lettieri is a guitarist, composer, producer, and instructor based in Fort Worth, TX.  Proficient in a multitude of styles, he records and performs in virtually every genre of popular music with both independent and major-label artists. He also composes and produces original instrumental music under his own name.   My first introduction to his work was through Snarky Puppy. In fact, one of my favorite songs from the album “We Like It Here” is “Jambone”, a song that features Mark’s unique jazz fusion style licks all while sporting a Van Halen shirt!   Check it out here: "Jambone"   Find out more about Mark here: Mark's Website Mark on Instagram Mark on Facebook Mark on Twitter Mark on YouTube
