  • My cover of John Lord’s organ solo on ‘Highway Star’. Always loved this solo and turns out it works great with two string sweeps. Tabs available on the 'short' video version on my channel page.

    I never imagined a guitarist can play this John Lord's solo masterpiece so perfectly. I even closed my eyes to get more enjoyment.. flawless. I can play it on keyboard.. and on guitar too but far from smooth and flawless. Thanks bro. Marvelous

    Matt Matt Matt, I just found this video a few minutes ago. Never heard of you before. I love John Lord and everything about DP. You do his B3 solo justice. Exact playing with no clams. Then I went fishing for more of you. The Michael Romeo solo (I am a huge Symphony X fan) you played top notch. I am also a big Paul Gilbert fanatic. You kick butt on Racer X, and the Nuno solo since everything Nuno does is just beautiful. You play Nuno with such precision (and good tone). You are absolutely fantastic, wherever you are. Perhaps Russia? Either way, much appreciation and respect to you from Burbank California (and most of USA). Rock on you master musician maniac!!!

    That right hand during the initial arps is literally a smoothly flowing river. Amazing. Your arrangement is different to mine as well, but that's tbe really.
    This organ aolo was one of the pieces of music which made me want to play guitar as a kid, way back before I realised what different instruments even were 'cause I was just jammin' at 3 years old. Took me another 10 to pick up an instrument and another 10 before I could attempt this solo. Nowadays I can play it OK, but I'll probs never get it as effotless as you do. I'm fine w/ that though. I like wrestlin' my instrument.

      @@MattGWalters Yeah. I do the same, I don't know this solo specifically but I play that pattern with a combination of legato and hybrid picking. It's going back to the top string when the pattern starts again that fucks up the picking. Haha

  • @bigmamajama2829
    @bigmamajama2829 2 роки тому +2

    Pretty cool, I think good keyboardists can probably write on average more melodic solos, simply because the keys are laid out in a linier progressive manner, and things tend to scale up and down more naturally, pretty clever to try it on guitar. Thinking about it, allot of Richie's solos are very similar to the keyboard solo style in Deep Purple :P I'm pretty sure he learned allot more about writing solo's from Jon Lord then he would like to admit.
