About Mark Lincoln
View Full Biography
Mark Lincoln was born in S. California but was raised near Portland Oregon in a town called Beaverton. When he was twelve years old, he began his journey into the realm of the creative by composing poetry and was later published in a journal called "In Dappled Sunlight." He wrote for four years until his older sister blessed him with his first guitar, an old beat-up nylon stringed classical guitar. Mark played that guitar for five years, continuing to compose his own lyrics and starting the process of matching his own words with chords that he was learning on the guitar. He learned to play chords from his friends and from music books that he both bought and borrowed. Mark cited his four biggest influences, at that point at least, as The Who, Led Zeppelin, Jethro Tull, The Rolling Stones.
Mark cites his most current influences as Radiohead, U2, older music by REM, and Peter Gabriel amongst others. He performs with two acoustic guitars, one being a six-string M-36 Martin with a three-pieced back for increased bass response, and a Guild Twelve-string which is his most recent acquisition. Mark is fond of saying that the twelve-string guitar is better because you get two guitars for the price of one, but he still plays his Martin equally as much and with the same passion.
Mark ended up in Fort Collins Colorado where he currently lives, works as a Marriage and Family Therapist, and continues to write, teach and perform music. He currently performs with a group called "Black Nelson" as well as with a number of other seasoned professional musicians including his cousin David, a virtuoso lead-guitar player. Mark has performed in many of the smaller venues in Denver and Boulder, as well as some of the larger ones including the Fox Theatre, The Boulder Theatre, Herman's Hideaway, and also at The Soiled Dove where he opened for Jefferson Starship as a soloist. Some of Mark's originals are also available for your listening pleasure on MySpace.

Member Comments about this Lesson
Discussions with our instructors are just one of the many benefits of becoming a member of JamPlay.Hi Mark, I was wondering if you have a Phase 2 lessons strumming with learning to read music? I seem to find finger picking styles I don't prefer, I am new here, was hoping to learn to "read" but with your type of style....
Hi Mark, Im new to this and have always wanted to learn. Looking forward to whats ahead.
I'm back. Started this lesson about 8 months back but had to stop (returned borrowed guitar to a friend). Now I have my own new guitar and ready to learn more again! I'm re-doing from Lesson One..just in case I've forgotten anything :) Thanks for the lessons Mark!
Hi mark just joined i like the way you teach so choose you as my teacher looking forward to going through you video lesson cheers
awesome intro but im a leftie do i hav to hold it diferent
Mark I really enjoyed the first lesson, and you intro motivated me to really get into what you about to teach. I really like your teaching style looking forward to upcoming lessons.
Hey Just signed up, wanted to say hi ... looking forward to all the lessons!!
Hey Mark, I just wanted to say that your encouraging to watch and your a great teacher. Earlier tonight I had no means of getting a subscription to a guitar site, but when i was on youtube looking up how to play Iris, i was impressed on your quality of teaching and was bummed i couldnt find more of you on Youtube.. you sucked me in...now i get to go through all your vids for the next three months! haha Looking forward to it bud, keep up the great work! Your the reason im on here :) -Steve
Mark - I've watched most of your lessons and received some great information. Thanks for that. I have an issue I still struggle with (which brought me back here) and that's holding the guitar. I have trouble "balancing" it if you will. The head of the guitar seems to slightly heavier than the rest of it which puts be in an uncomfortable position of holding it with my left(bad bad) or trying to put the right amount of weight on it with my right arm. I don't think it's too big as it fits fine. It's a Martin D-18 (yeah I know.. I'm undeserving). Any suggestions?
Hey Nomer! The only suggestion I have for that particular issue is to just keep adjusting the guitar on your lap and backwards and forwards as well until you feel more comfortable with it. You've got a great guitar, no doubt about that but you may need to work it a little. Good luck! Mark
hey mark i noticed how u were moving ur fingers in the begining as a intro i wanna know how u did that
I've been playing for a while, but needed to adopt a more structured approach. Picked this instructor as I have similar likes and influences and he plays in the way that I want to.. Really liked the intro and style of presenting the lessons.
How I was moving my strum hand or chord hand? Can you be more specific??? Mark
Hi Mark, thanks for a great first lesson; I find you great to listen too and your style of teaching is awesome. I look forward to having you teaching me this beautiful instrument. Thanks!
Hey Krispie nice to hear from and thanks for the great feedback, take a care! Mark
Awesome intro, mark! I cant wait to watch the rest of your series! Please reply soon!!!!!!!!!!!! :)
Hey Mix! Great to hear from you and see you in my chats as well! Great having you aboard little brother! Mark
Hi Mark! I'm a beginner guitarist and I'm having trouble with my scales,do you have any tips? I really wanna get these down. Great intro by the way! please reply soon!
Hey Legend how are you? You might want to check out some of our resident shredders including Emil, Kris Norris, David Walliman for tips on scale runs as they know more about that stuff in their sleep than I do at the top of my game lol Mark
HI Mark Im a begineer, 31 y.o. never played before. Lefty, but aimed to play in a "normal" guitar to simplify things. I think since Im learning from scratch it would be the same thing as learning to type letter in the computer, where there is no left or rigth keyboard... My guitar included a strip to hold it but I can not find where to attach the stip on the neck side.. any suggestions? cheers
Hey FRan how are you? If you're looking for the proper place for a "strap" (I think that's what you meant) then I would take your guitar to a qualified luthier or local guitar store and get help from them. You may need to have somethiung drilled into the guitar although I couldn't be sure until I saw your particular model. Good luck, Mark
Starting tonight.I have been putting off for 10 years .Glad to be here
Awesome Brandon, welcome aboard! Mark
Mark so far like your teaching style. I am just beginning and was given the book Fretboard Logic along with the DVD was told these were a "must have" will this interfere with your teachings and if not in what point in your lesson plan should I begin. P.S. My Granddaughter is thrilled that nanna is learning to play. We love to sing together and this will be another layer on the cake and perhaps someday we will perform a duet Just sayn'
Hi Lisa,you know I'm not familiar with that book to be honest. Usually there are some things that one instructor to another will differ in terms of style and hand positioning and so forth. If you do find things that are incompatible between our teaching styles and content, simply find the way that works best for you. I really don't belive in absolutes when it comes to playing guitar but there are some who would most certainly disagree with me. Good luck! Mark
I am learning to help my aunt (who plays electric/bass) overcome her battle with depression. She has been very ill and I know that music is what helps her get through her day. Good Luck Nanna... :)
Hey Cat what's happening? I think that's totally awesome that you're so dedicated to helping your Aunt who you obviously care for a ghreat deal. Have you looked at any of my articles on the site about using music to treat different types of issues? You might find some of that interesting...good to hear from you! Mark
Just joined today. Never played guitar before but I play piano, alto sax, and the flute. Have 3 guitar players in my family. Cant wait to join them.
Mark, You did not mention how to place the chord creating hand on the back of the neck. I've heard that is extremely important. Perhaps, you are covering in upcoming lessons although I think it fits best here.
GD: your thumb placement should change as you move your chord hand about and should accommodate the position of the chord. Try to avoid your chord hand being uncomfortable or in pain as that's never productive, right? Mark
Mark, Nice lesson. I would like to know the best way to manage and store a guitar. i.e. guitar stands, cases, those little packets of de-hum stuff, humidity etc.
Hey GD how are you? The best way to store a guitar is to keep it in a hard case with a humidifier. But....if you live in a fairly humid climate (ask local luthiers/music stores) then usually it's okay to leave guitars on stands although this does leave them open to other types of disasters like bumping, knocking over, pets etc etc. I tend to make my decisions about how to store a particular guitar based on its relative worth i.e. more expensive guitars always stay in their cases unless I'm playing them and my "beater" guitars stay out on stands for easy access. Does that help? Mark
Hi Mark, I'm totally new to the guitar and am loving your teaching style so far. Look out for discussions from me as I progress through your series.
Welcome to the site Dorsett and I look forward to your questions and comments! Mark
Hello Mark! Your teaching style is motivating. I can't wait to learn more about Diads and Triads.
Thanx Mazzy and great to see you in the chats as well.Thanks for your great feedback! Mark
great lesson
Hey Mark , I've been playing guitar sice I was six , and I know lots of stuff but then over these three years I started practicing less ,and less, and less.I'm only nine. Should I still take the begginer classes or should I move directly to phase two ?
Hey LD how are you? I think you should most definitely at least review the beginner lessons especially in my series because I go way beyond beginner stuff into intermediate and that will most assuredly help you, okay? Thanks for writing in! Mark
Mark, is it all right to take your lessons on an electric guitar? I also have a classical guitar, but it's an expensive spanish one and I know it's not recommended to play with a pick on a classical guitar, so will an electric be fine? Thanks.
Hey Lara, yes you can absolutely apply my lessons to any kind of guitar, the strings, scales chords should all be the same unless you're using a different tuning. Good luck! Mark
the print thing is not working ant advice
just joined but have played before and now getting back into it. This first lesson a little basic for me but well constructed Great Job
Hey Surfer thanx for writing in...yes the lessons start out basic but get progressively more difficult as they continue. Fear not, you will be challenged! Mark
First of all I loved the intro. That is exactly what I want to be able to play in the future. I am a returning beginner. I played as a teenager and now at 36 I starting up again. I am surprised at what I remember but there is lots I never learned. I'm looking forward to watching your videos.
Hey Mark! Just joined and watched the first video! Looking forward to getting into and learning the guitar! Thanks! Chris
Hey Chris, welcome aboard and good luck on your musical journey. Mark
Hi Mark, your newest student here, first video looks great and can't wait to watch the rest.
Hey Les welcome aboard and glad you enjoyed the first one, there's so much more to come! Rock on my friend! Mark
Good stuff, looking forward to up-coming lessons!
Hi Aaron, thanks for writing in and keep on jammin'! Take care, Mark
Very well constructed lessons but the constant "okays" get a little irritating after awhile XD
Good tips. Just signed up, and off to a good start.
Enjoyed the music. Presentation was put together well. Thanks
Hi Mark, Maddee said it, that was a very nice intro in scene 1. Was it something you put together or is there tab available. I've been studying the song and am trying to put it together so I can repeat it, but I thought you might have something. Thanks, Don
Great intro Mark!
Mark, I noticed your keep your pinky finger on the guitar when picking and strumming like I do. I seem to have to have something touching the guitar to keep my hand where I need it to be. Great Intro!!!!
Killer intro music!
