MARK LETTIERI IS one of current music’s most in-demand — and also versatile — guitar players. From his work with jazz-funk-fusion-rock-world-music collective Snarky Puppy and the all-star Vulfpeck offshoot the Fearless Flyers, to his own highly varied solo efforts and playing for everyone from Erykah Badu, Nelly and Eminem to David Crosby, Kirk Franklin and Dave Chappelle, the Fort Worth, Texas-based guitarist is clearly adept at burning up the fretboard in a variety of genres and styles.
