@preownedguitar
That's great!! I'd love to hear your recording. Can you send it to me, or upload it in the forum? ![]()
Plaidman31st December 2007Marcus,
that was the most beautiful rendition of this song ever recorded, in my humble opinion.
I've never seen or heard any musician play any style of music on any type of instrument with more soul and emotion than you do on a guitar.
You continue to blow me away. Hope you had a happy Christmas and have a great New Year.
Joel
Marcus Lavendell31st December 2007Thank you so much, Joel!
Happy new year! ![]()

Jenkinson8th June 2008Hey Marcus, I saw this when you came out with it in December, and I have seen it a couple of times since then. This IS the most powerful lesson on GMC, hands down. I wish you could feel the pulse of the members heartbeats when they hear/watch this lesson, it absolutely hits you in the heart. ESJ said it almost made him cry... same with me, my heart melted when you kicked the drive on... Let me catch my breath.... Wow!
Jenkinson8th June 2008Or a tie between this and "Soul to the World," omg.
Marcus Lavendell8th June 2008Thank you so much for your kind words Jenkinson! It really appreciate it!

SonofDestiny16th November 2008Hey Marcus, any ideas on how I can make my vibrato sound like that??
Great lesson by the way. (My mum liked it aswell by the way haha, had to mention it).
vampire1815th February 2009amazing lesson, thogh i gotta say that giving it a 4 is a bit of an under scoring because of the fast parts and very very intense bending and vibrato
Jonathan Burgos27th August 2009Marcus! is awesome,emotional, etc!you are not a padawan, you not a Jedi; you are a realy master jedi!!!!
