ezravdb24th August 2007Awesome work.
I see that you played it as one solo first, excellent idea.
Jeff24th August 2007No way I can play that man. But, I love to watch it! This is awesome Marcus!

Kai Muehlenbruch23rd August 2007man i always get goosebumps when a guys knows how to treat a strat...the ending is so great awesome stuff again
The Uncreator24th August 2007You continue to amaze me, great lesson, even better solo.
misterj24th August 2007wow..... what more can i say?
shredmandan24th August 2007that was awesome from start to finish.I like how you ended it with the last note especially

krimzen24th August 2007crap... im never playing guitar again. hahahaa

Kizaze4424th August 2007FREAKING INCREDIBLE!! I guess that makes me a beginner!
-Kiz
Markus, Are you kidding me with this???!!! Thats not a lesson. Thats, I'm a peacock, watch me strut my stuff! Holly ****, how good are you? Mesmerizing to say the very least. I love the way you make that guitar scream. Its primordial.
Boris
Btw, Your solos don't tab out worth a damn. Thats the best complement I can give you 
Dude im speechless except for a few words...U R GOD!
No Payne No Gain24th August 2007Holy Teledo, I've got a ways to go... Hopefully this lesson will be posted 5 years from now
xSK8ANx25th August 2007I just can´t stop watching this video!! It almost makes me a little emotional;) I wich there was a replay button on this video.. hehehe
If i ever learn to play this solo that great I will cry emotional tears while I play it;)
I also checked out your yngwie malmseen medley on youtube... Damn, you play it cleaner/better than yngwie himself:)
Rock on!
Kjetil
Eat-Sleep-andJam26th August 2007Well to say the least If I can play the intermidiate one I suppose im making progress towards this one 
- John
Ayen27th August 2007Once again you leave me in awe. Amazing job on the entire thing, you should have more three-level-lessons lead into eachother like this one did (beginner, intermediate, advanced). How Yngwie himself isn't bowing down to you is beyond me.
Layzer30th August 2007Ahh!..so good
Leijon29th August 2007More often than not, I find it unnecessary to add even more acclaim to a long list of compliments. This, however, is an exception.
Marcus, your blend of stunning speed, technique AND melodic feel, is absolutely breathtaking. The last detail, the final note, is what separates an awesome guitarist from a guitar giant! I have watched/listened to that not twenty times already, and will probably do it fifty times more over the next days.
Respect!
KRmachine1st September 2007No other guitar site will ever have lessons this good. Other than that, well everything's been said already.
Webside17th September 2007i'm impressed, all your solos have a really good feel, i love those wah in the advanced solo:P
Are you using the podxt or podxt live?
Marcus Lavendell6th October 2007@ RUMA:
I use the PODxt.
-Marcus
Marcus,
Thanks.... I'm going to get the Podxt Live and I'm pretty sure your patches should work on it. What brand wah are you using? I've got a bunch of questions for you but I will keep it short for the moment. Keep on rocking and great job on the lessons!
Joe
Plaidman14th October 2007This is beyond excellent. I'm starting to wonder if you're human, Marcus...
What a phenomenal lesson, yet again.
Ben N6th November 2007what can i say?? this is the most beautifull solo i have ever heard no keeding!!
this kind of style is what i love the most
when excellent technique meet a fantastic feel!!
Marcus your the man
jean-mi17th November 2007Artisticaly Excellent...
technicaly quite a little difficult and perhaps more...
thanks Marcus
PacmanProductions21st November 2007still cant get over how awesome this is!!!!!!!
The JEM25th November 2007that legato lick on video 7 has to be one of the funnest runs i've done in legato terms. too bad i can barely play the rest of these parts
Marcus Lavendell25th November 2007@ The JEM
I also think it's fun to play that lick!
Just practice slow and consistent, and I'm sure you'll be able to play the other parts as well!
Ben N27th November 2007just wanted to say that I listening to
your lessons all the time they are just beautiful
pieces!!! and you have a lot of funs in Israel
every one that see you play just blown away!!!
when is the next lesson???? you cant keep me
waiting anymore
Ben N
Marcus Lavendell27th November 2007Thank you so much, Ben! I appreciate your comments!
Great to hear about Israel. Send my regards to everyone there!
Btw, I have some cousins living in Israel
Iced69628th November 2007Inspiring to say the least. I find myself logging on to the site even when I don't have time to play just to grab a little inspiration from this before I go to work.
Marcus Lavendell28th November 2007Thanks for your kind comments Iced696
Iced69629th November 2007You're very welcome Marcus..
woow..like yngwie malmsteen
Paul Coutts30th November 2007yeah, definetly some malmsteen. Incredible, one day, I will play like that....in a ska band
my jaw just hit the floor.
Marcus Lavendell14th December 2007Thanks guys!!
@ quackquack
- I'm really sorry about that, hope you're ok!
Bulletproof19th December 2007Wow....this will take me a while to get down...honestly...simply amazing Marcus.
Marcus Lavendell19th December 2007Thank you Bulletproof! Let me know if you have any questions
Pizzoaro23rd December 2007Wow... this was reaaly cool, ive learned so much from this lesson... thank you marcus:)
Pizzoaro26th December 2007How thick strings you use? 0.10?
Marcus Lavendell26th December 2007Thanks Pizzoaro
When I recorded this lesson I think I used 09-46
Pizzoaro27th December 2007ok, cause i use like 011, and its hard to bend... it hurts:P
Pizzoaro27th December 2007In the beginner video... when u bend the 12th fret, what are u doing there? I cant make it sound right... Are u doing this:?
E -9------
B -12b----
=
Marcus Lavendell28th December 2007@ Pizzoaro
No, I just bend the 12th fret on the B-string there. And I bend it up to 'D' (three frets/half notes).
Pizzoaro17th January 2008Anyway
Best in GMC!!
Stevie-Ray-Vaughn27th January 2008Amazing marcus! Brilliant!
Eat-Sleep-andJam1st February 2008Still my FAV. on Gmc-Cheers Marcus 
Shadow215th March 2008I love the way you play, i'll have to practice a lot to be as good as you are.
Carlos Carrillo11th March 2008Fantastic, fantastic, fantastic!!!!!
thanks Marcus
Lithuanian23rd March 2008This is still the BEST FREAKIN SOLO in the whole GMC !
Jeff15th April 2008Marcus,
Do you kick the wah pedal in at the part on video 4, the legato stuff, or do you have it on during the whole song and use it in other passages?
Pi3817th April 2008I think he kicked it in at that part, because as soon as it turned on he got up and put a little weight on it so it would click on.
Marcus Lavendell17th April 2008@Jeff
Pi38 is right. I use a Cry Baby Wah for that part, but I turn it off when that lick is over 
shideru_guitar20th April 2008hey marcus can i send u the improvised version i done for this solo.
as i cant do the advanced part yet, i made a differnt ending.
what do u think ?
Marcus Lavendell20th April 2008@ shideru_guitar
Of course! I'd love to hear your improvised version!
shideru_guitar22nd April 2008cool!
i have to practice loads before i send it
dont want it to sound messy !
Gwazi19th May 2008Hey Marcus, does this solo have a name? I keep referring to it as 'The Three Level Solo' and would rather call it by its proper name. Thanks
Marcus Lavendell19th May 2008@ Gwasi
This solo is just meant to be a lesson in three difficult levels, so I haven't given it a proper name. Sorry about that! I know it's confusing since I also have a Three-level-lesson series...
From now on I'll give the solos real names!
Hehe ... I always wanted the tabs of that solo ... Although i ll never get this one, i love it so much ;-) You and Trond and of course the other awesome guitarmasterclass teachers are my reasons for joining ...
Incredible awesome
Good wishes from Markus with "k" ;-)
Marcus Lavendell10th September 2008Thanks Markus with a "k"
Marcus we want more your lessons. You`re the best man;)you have so much feeling for guitar and technique,please share it with us:)
Young Guitarist8th November 2008Marcus... If there is one solo that could litteraly kill me, just by sound, its this one! HOLY ! Its just... amazing!
Canis18th December 2008This.... This.... 
Brb, gotta go find my mind which you have successfully blown away.
Flushovsky19th December 2008Yeah, I finally manage to nail it all down lol
Gotta aquire speed now.
I'm really having a great time with this lesson !
Thanks Marcus !
playaxeman21st December 2008Great style, great solo, great lesson.
Thx
MigeZ24th March 2009... O_o Awsome I'm just amazed that someone has been able to produce so good solo which has something for everyone 
I can now nail the first part so I'm now working on the second one but well I still got "some" training to do with my speed 
Amazing!
Love the solo 
Alexiaden9330th April 2009You just slaughtered Malmsteen ! You are seriously in trouble Marcus...
GGTopGuitarist6th August 2009hey great solo are there any more backing tracks?
also what are scalloped frets like and whats the benifit of them?
seriously great solo
We are finally at the advanced part of this solo with Marcus Lavendell. Most of the techniques here are not really that difficult, but they should be played very fast which makes it a bit more tricky.
