As always, simply amazing.
shredmandan16th October 2007That was pretty sweet Marcus.It was kinda different from anything else i've heard you play before but definatly nice especially that quick run at around 15 sec!Keep em coming

, even though Ik its a homemade guitar.
Nice 1 ![]()
David Wallimann16th October 2007Wow, that's awesome!

Eat-Sleep-andJam17th October 2007@ Walliman ,
I agree ! Kris does have a A7x feel in there. And you may not realize Kris but your singing has come along way since burying all your genitals
and Marcus I got a Question
For the legato run , can I use my index 3rd and pinky finger for the run ? Its more comfortable for the long stretch.
- John
PlayAllDay17th October 2007Gotta say I'm unimpressed...surely you could have played better, faster, nicer tone...
Seriously this song is so flippin good! I downloaded the full song from the blog and have been listening to it ever since, brilliant work guys:)
And now I can spend many frustrated hours trying to nail this solo - hooray I think ![]()
Gabriel Leopardi17th October 2007Excelent as always Marcus! Your guitar technique is so good. You have to record your solo album!! (If you haven't done it yet, have you?)
Marcus Lavendell17th October 2007Thank you so much guys!! And I hope you like the full song aswell
@ Eat-Sleep-andJam,
It is definitely ok to use the index, 3rd, and pinky finger for that long run - if you are comfortable with it.
@ Gabriel,
No, I haven't recorded an album... yet! ![]()
loop18th October 2007Hi Markus,
great solo, i love your playing style.
I think, you should record your own solo album
cesarven22nd October 2007This "solo" is the latest that I do in my life to be happy ....!!!!
jammer9128th October 2007I really like the riffs in the whole song (heard it in GMC blog). Any chance of doing the riff lesson of this song?
Marcus Lavendell28th October 2007Thanks guys!
@ Jammer91: Thanks for the request! I'd be happy to make a lesson about the riffs if you guys are interested in it. ![]()
Rotan28th October 2007I can't remember the last time I heard anything this good! The song, the solo, the sound, it's amazing! If this was in the shops I'd buy it now!
Xranthoius17th November 2007i cant get enough of this song!!!
the entire thing is great, awesome job on this guys!!!!!!! do you know where i can get tabs of the backing track too!?
Marcus Lavendell17th November 2007Thanks Rotan and Xranthoius!! ![]()
I'm planing to make a lesson about the riffs/backing track, but I don't know when it will be finished. So stay tuned!! ![]()
Xranthoius18th November 2007woo! i cant wait!!!!
preownedguitar1st December 2007Could have sworn I commented on this one when it came out but, its just a great piece of music. Great job as always, and yes if you ever did make a CD I'd be standing in line to grab it!
Toni Suominen8th December 2007This is a cool song and a great solo! thanks Marcus!
Freebird8th December 2007What can you say, it's Marcus!!!
I wonder if that legato section was Rusty Cooley inflenced... I've heard him do things like this
GREAT! ![]()
Marcus Lavendell10th December 2007Thanks guys!
@Freebird
Hm... I didn't think of Rusty Cooley when I did this solo. But maybe you're right, because It does sound a bit rusty ![]()
Plaidman17th December 2007Marcus,
This ROCKED! (Like everything else you've entered here). You are literally one of the top 3 guitarists I've ever heard in my life. Your style, tone, vibrato, and melodies cannot be surpassed.
Thank you very much for sharing your knowledge and skills for us here. I know I'm not alone in saying that we would be very interested in any riffs/songs you'd care to teach us.
Take it easy,
Joel
Marcus Lavendell17th December 2007Thank you so much, Joel!
It's always a pleasure to read your overwhelming comments!
-Marcus
