Great song composed by one of the first neoclassical shredder (in 1977) : Uli Jon Roth.
Gear : Stratocaster '70 made in Japan, HS3 pickups, DOD250 ("Grey mods" by Modest Mike's Mods), Marshall 1987X, Marshall 1922 (G12T-75 speakers), SM57, Neve 1073DPA, Apogee Duet, ProTools.
Damn I can't believe this song was recorded in 1977. That beginning part is legit some neoclassical shred before Yngwie took stage. Uli Roth is a legend!
Yes, that's the early neoclassical shred together with Ritchie Blackmore and maybe some other great guitar players
Uli,Richie,Lee where way ahead of their time.
Lots of great players at this point Frehley,Beck,Page,Schenker,Garcia,Iommi.
to name a few.
@@eastcumbriancollector983 Its nice to see Ace get some love
@@huntercraig993
He doesn't get enough credit, especially considering how much he influenced Dimebag,Snake Sabo,most grunge & thrash bands.
@@GuillaumeVraculi didn't play electric guitar before joining scorpions. So he was emulating classical scales Fucking sick
The fact that Uli didn't put another solo in the middle of the song is a remind that life is not fair.
right, but the whole freaking song is like a big time guitar solo.
this song is such a bop. it really does need another solo to complete it lol
True. But what hurts me the most is that the song ends in a fade out, during my favorite part of it, that outro is like a whole different story thats being told: cleaner tone, more harmonic variety, similar ideas but different paths. I just wanna know what was next!
There was no need, would be unfair hahaha
Started playing guitar when Covid hit Just to have a hobby. Been playing for 10 months now and this is my ultimate goal song. Big problem, I am 53 years old. if and when I master this I’ll post it on UA-cam.Roth is truly amazing on all early Scorpion.
Thanks for your story. I think it's never too late to start! Wish you good luck
It's never too late, keep on practicing. Keep shredding!! ❤️❤️
Go for it!
Keep going Ariel - as others have said, it's never too late. I'm 58 and still trying to master this.
Its never too late, i myself is 53 y/o and trying to play this music, i remember during the 80's and 90's, there was no youtube where we can learn, we have to use our ears and rewind those cassettes many times just to learn a solo or a riff. Its easier now to learn .Thanks for making these kinds of videos so that we can learn the easier way.
If I'd learned this as well as you on guitar when I was 15 years old, I'd probably be a 35 year old grand father from several different women.
For real!!! This song is so badass!!!🤘🏽🎸
jajaja me recagué de la risa 😂
The chord bit at the start is the greatest thing I have ever seen. How generous of you to tab this out for people. Thank you very much.
You’re welcome! The pleasure is mine
This solo has lots of important techniques that are easily obtainable from this clear and straight-forward video. I wish all you-tube guitar videos were like this. Cheers!
Thank you for the motivating comment! I hope to do other ones like this. cheers!
@@GuillaumeVrac I haven't picked up my electric in years and now I have blisters again after watching this video. Thank you!
Slides, scale runs,2/3 string riffs,power chords,palm muting m
Uli Roth was the guitar god of all ages.. You did a great job bro
Yes, great artist!
@@GuillaumeVrac Sorry meant 0:45 !
@@hejsansvejsan3052 The secret of this lick is to articulate half pick and half legato, and to play it slowly many times. I don't have a real clue how to do it easily though.
Ulrich was about 23 when he wrote this, FREAKIN INSANE, MAN!
lol bro typed lars ulrich so much that it auto corrected to ulrich

I kept coming back to Uli Roth this was so accurate and amazing!! Good work and well. Done!
Thanks mate - your playing is absolutely amazing!!! You're tabs also helped with some of the trickier bits of the first solo.

Oh oui !! bien joué Guillaume ! Je l'adore ce morceau et même tout cette période de Scorpions avec Uli Jon Roth :D Ce mec était un grand malade ;)
Amazing! 🤩
Spectacular
Ritchie and Uli teamed up to create Yngwie. Excellent job on this.
Richie created Uli according to Uli. Lol. Too bad Blackmore is such an insufferable prick.
Fantastic!
Thank you for the compliment! Regards.
Very cool
Good stuff!
Stellar!

Dark night, there is no light
In the realm of the black magic man
Soul's flight into the cold blight
Of the destroyer's magic land
Poor man, whose spirits are stronger
They're the ones who will reign
You're struggles are in vain
Blind man, you're suckin' your own blood
Soon black magic's dying
You'd better start crying
Blind man, you're suckin' your own blood
Soon black magic's dying
You'd better start crying
Throw out your evil desire
The dark king's kingdom is
Made out of mire
Throw out your evil desire
The dark king's kingdom is
Made out of mire
Keep on for the kingdom of light
There is no darkness, there is no night
Very good
c'est tellement stylé !
I’m throwing my guitar in the fireplace.
Some kind of exotic scale, some thing major perhaps...brilliant either way!
Bravo, retour année 80
I don't know how much hours this Song cost you, but i know it defiantly worth it . Awesome 🔥
This song is challenging, honestly the very beginning due to the one string thing got me for a day or two lol.
Yes it’s a challenging song indeed!
2:07 and 2:50
