[debraannr]

wow!!!!!! love it :-)

[stenn]

F A N T A S T I C. I love it! Great!!!

[danny391519]

I was just watching/listening to about 10 different people playing this song. From Alex Skolnick & the TSO to kids... yours rocks with that classic Fender sound.

[jongreek]

To hell with the cheese, that was smokin'! Lord, the disotrtion on the solo was just the right hair of the dog. Rock on!!

[CodyCEngdahl]

Cheesy, but I'd like to know what pedal you're using for your overdrive.

[Guitarstar300]

Meh... The song is cheesy...

The playing is AMAZING!!!!

[CodyCEngdahl]

I like the song, I always have. The playing is certainly impressive, but I still feel the cheese factor is through the roof. I can just see a sea of hair sprayed hair balls in spandex pants holding up lighters

[MsMamabear42]

@Guitarstar300 You're an ass. Can you even play? He ROCKS and so does the song. His playing makes it all the more magical

[Guitarstar300]

@MsMamabear42

Hey, buddy, do yourself a favor and read my whole comment. Maybe then you'd realize that I was calling the song itself cheesy, which isn't his composition. I then continued by trying to say that his playing is what made such a cliche song amazing. Lavendell is, and has been, my favorite player for quite some time now.

[blkchrm77]

how the fck is it cheesy?

[CodyCEngdahl]

It oozes with cheese.  If you can't see for yourself, you never will. Just don't let your hair get caught in the door when you hop into your trans am on the way to pick up chicks at the skating rink.

[VJCMustangs]

absolutely gorgeous

[GoRdOnUE]

This is beautifuul man :) 10 stars

[sthcrox]

[Vuick92]

Thats good marcus.

[wietse16]

Holy Jesus H. Christ, you're unbelievable...

Beautifull performance (note* no matter how easy the song is, it's brilliant)

[cb2198]

Great, I love how it builds.

[xRisingForcex]

Absolutely terrific, as usual. =]

[shredder757]

Great as usual. You have some of the best phrasing I have ever heard and a beautiful melodic style in all your playing.

[gjrocks]

AWSOME:| how long did/do you practice a day?

[lavendell]

Thanks guys! :)

@gjrocks

I don't have much time to practice in the traditional manner, but I try to find the time to play guitar atleast 15-20 minutes per day.

Please note that this song is very easy to play! nothing fancy at all :)

-Marcus

[gjrocks]

wow, havent you had a period when you practiced like 5 hours a day? i get to about 3 hours, and have been for 2 years. i probably can play this, but im not a gmc member and dont have the backing track, so i dont think im gonna learn it. it is fantastic tough!

[BenjaminBoom]

I probably can play it. But I definetely can't put that much feel in it! It's so beautiful.

[ctodd123]

same, but that's really what it's all about. I could play it a hundred times, and not get it to sound like this.

[senescencia]

yeah, but is not only play, marcus arrange it, so is a huge difference too

[sebmaster64]

excellent christmas sound!

Beautiful playing MARCUS.

[LongPig]

I am very tempted to learn this...

[Godeaters]

Excellent Marcus, one of your best along with Winding Roads!! See you around GMC!!

(The Uncreator)

[justplayman]

great !!!

[justplayman]

dramatic, climatic, and some Dave Meniketti vibrato...

[Guitarmaster1993]

Oh you are the best guitarist in sweden, your good style at guitar OMG HE ARE MESSIAH !

[frozenwinterixion]

Man you are so inspiring :)

Ive watched all your videos on gmc :)
