Mark Farner is one of the kindest, and most humble people I have had the pleasure to speak with.
I spoke with him about his humility and not having a swelled head or ego, when we chatted back in 2021, and he said:(took the words from our video chat I have on YouTube)
"I keep in mind that we are all human and we all have talents. Mine happens to be in music, and others are in other areas, but we all have talents.
When I have seen people let it go to their head, brother, there are your examples of why I don't want to get that way. I have always wanted to just be your brother. Like a family reunion, I want people to know that I make mistakes"
So when I saw this come across my desk I was not at all surprised that he was offering this to his fans and musicians across the world for free.
Thank you, brother Mark!
Michigan’s legendary rock and roll guitarist and frontman Mark Farner announced today that “Sin’s a Good Man’s Brother” is the latest release from his popular, critically-acclaimed online video tutorial series “Farner Chords”. Following previous releases “People, Let’s Stop The War” and “Footstompin’ Music”, the song“Sin’s A Good Man’s Brother” originally appeared on the 1970 studio album “Closer To Home”.
Farner’s lead guitar work captures the energy, the turbulence of a generation. Still relevant today, “Sin’s a Good Man’s Brother” explores the dynamic between good and evil. Farner’s determined, yet dark guitar collides with the drowning funk rhythms.
Farner Chords are free and available online at https://markfarner.com/farner-chords/.
“I’d like to continue offering these videos for the music fans all around the world and share with them the gift of music,” Farner said. “’ Sin’s a Good Man’s Brother” is one of the deeper cuts, but fans ask me about it constantly. It’s too important of a song to not share.”
About Mark Farner
“You can’t talk about rock in the ‘70s without talking about Grand Funk Railroad.” - David Fricke, Rolling Stone Magazine
Mark Farner is the reason. As one of the founding members, lead singer, lead guitarist, and writer of over 90% of the Grand Funk music catalog, Farner has always been known as the energetic driving force on stage, the engine that pulled the original Grand Funk Railroad to the top of the charts. His soulful voice and power rock riffs fueled the Funk along with his atomic stage presence. His story and his imprint on music starts with Flint, Mich., and since 1969 from his humble beginnings and a blue-collar outlook, Farner has captained a global crusade for love, peace, and freedom and became a rock ‘n’ roll icon.
More than 50 years later he commands the stage with the same intensity performing epic hits that defined a generation: “I’m Your Captain (Closer to Home)”, “Bad Time”, “Some Kind of Wonderful”, “Foot Stompin’ Music”, “Heartbreaker”, “Locomotion”, “Mean Mistreater” and “We’re An American Band”. Farner has amplified his remarkable career by selling more than 30 million records worldwide, including 16 gold and platinum albums.
