This video is currently at 29k views. I wouldn't be surprised if 1k of them are from me alone. This song and Mark's playing are just simply beautiful, and I keep coming back. Merry Christmas to everyone watching this fantastic video!
Mark thank you for your music! I love the tone you get out of that old guitar and the diversity of emotion you send through those strings is truly beautiful
you touched my heart with your wonderful guitar playing and i just want to hear all your music your sound is absolutely superb i love your choice of music and i feel every note you play i am trying to play guitar and just love nice sounding music and you have inspired so much i am 83 so i know what im talking about but still play god gave you a wonderful gift and thank you for sharing all your wonderful music to all us lucky listeners thank you from Tony
They say "People wear their hearts on there sleeves" NOT this man he wears it his on his face. Those looks are coming from his heart ....that exquisite pain when you find those special notes 😊 Rock on Mark !
i used to listen to this music with my life and my job it is incredibly beautiful/ so i am sure this music that seems to transcend the barriers at this time in our nations/ i listen it every day thank so much///peace every one from russia with respect
He is sooo good!~!~ I have watch all of his videos from you. pls give us more. thank you so much for sharing these great hearts from those great people
Hi, Mark Allen here, Just wanted to say how touched I am by your comments about my playing. Thank You and I wish you and others a Very Merry Christmas.
@@markallen7804 Merry Christmas!!!! so surprise that you reply me. I play a little guitar too, but ready moved by your performance. so simpler and pure and touch the deepest of my heart.
It’s nice to know that talent like that isn’t overtaken by the urge for the big$ but just for pleasure, yours and ours. Came here by accident, subbed straight away. Stunning.
Guardo le gocce scivolare sopra la tua musica troppo bello sembra fatto apposta , il cielo ha aspettato il suono della tua chitarra e ti accompagna in questa stupenda melodia 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Mark ! Your playing touches and tugs at my heart strings. You are as good as the other Mark. God bless you and your strat. I am a guitarist myself...albeit a poor one.
Just talent mark your playing brilliant so much feeling always a beautiful sound off that strat so much emotion really wish you were really famous you deserve it mate playing in the rain always happy and smiling keep them coming beautiful to listen to you 😊
Literally one of my favorite guitarists here on TH-cam. And a super nice guy to boot. I shared this video with family and friends for Christmas. Thank you, Mark. Merry Christmas.
He's proof that great guitar playing does not necessarily require insane technique or fast hands flying all over scales. It's how you express your feelings and emotions with each note on 6 strings. And this old man, on a street with a cheap guitar, does just that. Very moving indeed.
слушаю эу композицию и не устаю радоваться этой мелодии в рождество когда все люди загадывают желания и надеятся что все исполнится ведь это обещает гитара и улыбка марка аллана нина россия
The camera guy is really on top of the job here, he is really getting the best out of Mark Allen (Great playing mate) but also look at the little things "afrob" has done with the video (The snow in the Umbrella) sheer brilliance mate,,,,,,,,,, Just saying
Thanks again Gib. The players are the stars, the camera and sound recorder do the work ....I just get to record what they do, which is a privilege ....
HI MARK,YOU SHOULD BE UNDER BRIGHT LIGHTS ON STAGE,NOT IN THE STREETS UNDER AN UMBRELLA,THIS IS WHAT I CALL RAW TALENT!SOMEONE PLEASE GIVE THIS GUY A BREAK ,HE DESERVES IT!
Mark heard you many times in Cardiff and still have the photos I took with "the real camera". Tried sending them but your web site was always down. Always kept an ear out for the sound of your Strat.
Hi, Thanks for your comment. You should be able to get in touch with my email which is above. I don't have a website. Please try again as I'd love to see the photos.
As good as this is,, the "kudos' need to go to the guy doing the Video "artfrob", other wise it would be just another guitar player filmed with a Cell phone,, So a big Bravo to the Camera guy,,,,,,,,,,,,, Just saying
Beautifully played Mark. Not a single bum note.

Believe me, that Guitar ISN'T Cheap... its an Original Fender Stratocaster
Mark you did not pick the guitar to play .I swear the guitar picked you. You are a inspiration to others
The epitome. Of beauty.
Absolutely outstanding talent. I love this, you made this lovely tune your own in a special way. Thank you for sharing it.

Hi, Thanks for your comment. You should be able to get in touch with my email which is above.
I don't have a website.
Please try again as I'd love to see the photos.

Hi Mark Allen....where can I get this backing track.....you're so expressive and emotional,....and it touched my soft spot..... Thank you.
Comunque lo giri e' bravo ce' sentimento e' in simbiosi con lo srumento😅😅😅😅😅❤❤❤❤❤😊
доброе утро ма рк ален россия будет слушать и благодарить за ваше творчество
прекрасно волшебно из россии с любовью
Anyway I can find this backing track? I'd love to jam along with it.
Try emailing Mark with this question, he will get back to you, when he can...
Oh I would really love this backing track. Is there any chance?
I love you

That Eric Clapton signature Strat sounds divine. Are those original pickups or aftermarket? The tone is delightful.
Hi, they are the Fender noiseless ones which replaced the gold lace sensors.
New strings help a lot too !
Light person.
Your score for Mark ? .. from 1 to 10 ?
11
I love you
