    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!

    • @GuillaumeVrac
      @GuillaumeVrac  3 роки тому +45

      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.

      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!

      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.
