O Holy Night - Adolphe Adam

Thanks Kris . That makes a lot more sense. just a half step bend

Finnz - A major sounds pretty correct to me - I just had a quick jam over this one.

That first bent note in part 3 is to the A note (not Bb).

Hello I am new to GMC. Studying the tabs it appears that this progression is in A major. Can anyone confirm that? I am curious about what notes Marcus is bending up in sections (3-5) is he bending up to Bb on the 1st bend?

Marcus! is awesome,emotional, etc!you are not a padawan, you not a Jedi; you are a realy master jedi!!!!

amazing 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

Hey 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).

the big break sent chills down my spine haha VERY AWESOME A+

Awesome arrangement Marcus !

This version is a LOT better then random singers' versions
Mariah Carey? Hah, we don't need her! We've got Marcus Lavendell!

Also: This lesson really put my vibrato and bends on the edge! Thanks ^^

That's an epic version! And I especially love your trills!

Truly fantastic! I'm gonna practice this one, hopefully I'll be able to play it flawlessly around christmas times

Beautiful lesson and playing. Maybe I should learn this for christmas.

Im back watching this again too! Im going to nail this one read for christmas 2008

Or a tie between this and "Soul to the World," omg.

Hey 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!

you awesome man!

OMG!! MARCUS I LOVE YOUR TONE!

Wow....

What about the backing music? I would like to buy that cd.

nice lesson and great job Marcus!!!

Fantastic

What type of strings do you use with the strat?

Haunting. very cool Marcus.

You vibrato is simply amazing

Simply put, this takes my breath away.
Such a beautiful piece, I hope to get it right some day

This still gets me.

You have a very beautiful style. Very clean, but very intense.

I love the way this song builds! Simply amazing.

This is so incredible man wow...

Marcus,

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.

Whoa! And you rate that vibrato "beginner-intermediate"? That'll be hard!! Excellent job Marcus your lessons are always awesome!

@quebrado - Nej, hvis der er en ting svenskere kan er det at drikke sig fulde i Danmark.

Wow, goosebumps when you kicked in with the high bit !

Little writing mistake there, I ment of course that "I" could have walked naked to the north pole to get your vibrato and bends" =P

er det en ting dere svensker kan, er det å spille gitar;P exellent lesson;)

I've been waiting quite some time for another lesson with you - and I can see that I didn't wait in vain.
Excellent work yet again!

Wonderful! the switch between the soft and the instense part almost made me cry like a baby lol
Great job and merry christmas

That's just awesome!

Seriously Marcus. You could have walked naked to the north pole to get your bend and vibrato!

Great feeling and tone Marcus

Love the non-heavy songs turned heavy; but totally classic. Awesome job!

Simple.. Yet sooo effective :-).

I especially liked the muting part!

Absolutely beatiful. My mom was in the room when I watched this and now I have to learn it by tommorow night. Not that that's a problem at all

Like how you made your guitar so festive btw.

brilliant Marcus

woa totally epic

Great Job Marcus.
Exellent backing track.

only if we could download backing tracks then i could play over it and record it

Only Marcus could pack this kind of flavor into a Christmas song.

Wow. You make even a Christmas song epic!

That was fantastic! I love the hat too!

Wow, I hadn't realized that everyone else used the word "epic" too. Oh well, it fits!

Now wheres my guitar? I have to learn this immediately.

O holy crap that was awesome!! Freakin sweet as always!

That´s so beautifull!!! Excellent Marcus!

Epic Beyond Belief!!

Breathtakingly Beautiful!!

EPIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That was so epic, very beautiful Marcus!!

Beautiful

Cool another Christmas song! Nice hat!

Ahhh! This so beautiful and the contrast between the soft and the intense part makes it completely breathtaking. This reminds me very much of one of my all-time-favorite instrumental album "Scenes" with Marty Friedman. Merry Christmas everybody!!
