First song I learned on guitar. I'm a huge John Sykes fan. This song is the best love song ever made in my opinion. Well "Looking for Love" is great song but wasn't on the 1987 album. You should do that one too, great guitar tune. Is This Love is solo has to be done on a Les Paul.....just has to.
@@jacobtani9785 Agreed! Two dudes wrote "Look Away" and the "The Flame" which were presented to both Chicago and Cheap Trick. Zander picked "The Flame" and of course Chicago got "Look Away." Both songs were each bands last number 1 hit. It was Cheap Trick's only #1.
This solo is one of the best Sykes laid down on 1987 besides Crying In The Rain. Still Of The Night and Give Me All Your Love Tonight was merely guitar wanking with not much melody going on. You nailed it all; sound, attitude and playing. Well done.
You've done it again Juha! A really artistic rendition of a great song and you do it with not only great technical ability but emotion and creativity. Keep these videos coming. You are an inspiration to keep practicing and getting better.
The dream of my life has always been to learn to play electric guitar, I'm a little old now, I'm 50, and I love 80s rock, I'm thinking of buying a Gibson copy electric guitar, maybe one from China or an Epiphone, here in South America an original Gibson is very expensive, my question is, did it take you many years to learn to play so well?
Yes, Juha...this 👆 THIS IS Love! Absolutely LOVE this and that Les Paul is absolutely SINGING!!! The sustain... the crunch.. oh man... hang on I need a moment. Ok - just a master class in CLASSIC rock phrasing, tone and articulation. @2:44 you just unleash the beast and crush it. John Sykes may have played it first but you made it your own! Kudos brother!!! 🤘 Well done 🤘
One of my favorite songs of all time the guitar sounds great from beginning to end. Great job and awesome gear by the way. Which chorus pedal and reverb did you use? I’ve been trying to do it with the boss dimensions Waza and the digitech Rv7 on hall
Your technique and ability are first class. Tiny adjustment i’d make, the ernie ball bit, the sound seemed a fraction ‘thin’ (best way i can describe it). Frankly though its pretty flawless, Sykes would be proud. 👍🏻
What does one say to that? The master shows us all once again how it’s done. I’m definitely joining the patreon page this weekend.So much I want to learn and your just the man for the job 🔥 😎 🍺 🍺
This is just beyond awesome man! Great tone! Wondering how you got to upload this as I noticed that the content ID system blocks many of the Whitesnake songs :(. Did you get a special license to make this cover (I can also see there is no content ID on your video!
That's wierd...i Don't have any special license. Maybe it takes little time before content ID is there 🤔 let's see what happens. I haven't heard that Whitesnake songs are getting blocked...has this happend to anyone you know? And thank you so much 😃👍💖🙏
@@JuhaAitakangas Yes - multiple people I know have gotten their Whitesnake videos blocked by content ID - I think it's something to do with the licensing on the Whitesnake songs.. maybe Whitesnake/The Label and UA-cam found a middleground/solution. It's also weird, I still see no Content ID on your vid
@@MathiasSteenJensen i didnt know that these videos might get blocked. Now the content ID is there. Maybe youtube and Whitesnake are better friends nowdays.. 🤣
@@JuhaAitakangas hopefully - really hoping in the feature that the copyright system will be changed to allow not-monetized covers, so that youtube-creators don't have to live in fear of getting their channel terminated
These peeps these days be lost if they had to learn by ear on a cassette tape like some of us . Then you have to even learn tuning without a tuner cause most cassette players played either sharp or flat . Tuner was useless. Ok rant over
Absolutely incredible, we need to see more of your face in these videos, you show an amazing passion for music and that adds to the cover in my opinion. Thanks for such amazing content, plugging for you all the way… As an aside, are you familiar with Stan Bush - The Touch… sounds like your kind of guitar style and playing, might make an amazing cover! :)
Thank you so much for your kind words Paul. Sorry for the late answer...somehow is missed your comment. Stan Bush...i have never heard it before. I just listened the song and i have to admit, you were absolutely right! What an AMZING SONG. Thanks for this. Have a great weekend!
Sykes days with this band and Thin Lizzy were the days. He's a brilliant guitarist and you did a fine cover man.
That's so true 💯 and thank you 😃👍🙏
First song I learned on guitar. I'm a huge John Sykes fan. This song is the best love song ever made in my opinion. Well "Looking for Love" is great song but wasn't on the 1987 album. You should do that one too, great guitar tune. Is This Love is solo has to be done on a Les Paul.....just has to.
Couldn't agree more with you 😃👍 Maybe I could do Looking for love...thanks for your suggestion.
I’d have to argue “the flame” by cheap trick is second best love song ever behind “is this love”
@@jacobtani9785 Agreed! Two dudes wrote "Look Away" and the "The Flame" which were presented to both Chicago and Cheap Trick. Zander picked "The Flame" and of course Chicago got "Look Away." Both songs were each bands last number 1 hit. It was Cheap Trick's only #1.
Dude, it's like you have a guitar for every situation. Again perfect playing. You're a true professional and I'm glad people are able to hear it 👍👍
I still think i need few more guitars 🤣 thank you so very much Oscar 😃👍💖🙏
This solo is one of the best Sykes laid down on 1987 besides Crying In The Rain. Still Of The Night and Give Me All Your Love Tonight was merely guitar wanking with not much melody going on. You nailed it all; sound, attitude and playing. Well done.
Thank you so much Daniel 😃👍🙏 Looking for love is another great one from Mr Sykes 👉💯
Great job. The song is a melodic masterpiece.
Thank you man, that's so true 😃👍🎸🎸

Thank you so much for your kind words. I really appreciate it 😃👍🙏 Have a nice weekend 🎸🎸
Absolutely Amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you 🎸🎸
The best sad song 😢
🥺💔.... always it's the same.
I'm crying 😢
Hello Juha, I’ve been looking up covers of this song for many years now. I’ve enjoyed your rendition the most, thank you.
Oh, that's nice to hear. Thank you so much 😃👍🙏🎸🎸

I would say it's never too late 😃👍🎸🎸 Learnig guitar is probably not the easiest thing, but very rewarding after you have learnt to play 👉💯
Beautiful , bro
Thank you 🎸🎸
Hugs from Argentina for you dude!
Keep on playin' laddie
You have rhythm & perfect tone.
Solo part it's amazing!!!!
🎸🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Great job bro.👍😉
Thank you so much 😃👍🎸
Man, this is flawless
Thank you so much Joseba. Have a great day 😃👍🎸🎸
solo is on neck pickups
Yeah, i have a bad habit to always switch to bridge pickup when soloing 🤦♂️ 😃👍
I’m your fan from now on, thank you for such nice cover and showing how to play it
You're welcome and thank you so much. I really appreciate it 😃👍🙏❤️
Another example of musicianship at it's finest. We should definitely go backwards for a change cus it doesn't get any better
That's so true. Whitesnake at its best 😃👍💖
Love that song. Professional cover as always. Good job!
Thank you so much Xavier 😃👍🙏
i like your style great job bro cheers
Thank you David 😃👍🎸
Yes, Juha...this 👆 THIS IS Love! Absolutely LOVE this and that Les Paul is absolutely SINGING!!! The sustain... the crunch.. oh man... hang on I need a moment.

Thank you 😉👍 If i remember right there's no chorus. Reverb comes from Neuraldsp plugins...Plini/Cory Wong 🎸🎸
Your technique and ability are first class. Tiny adjustment i’d make, the ernie ball bit, the sound seemed a fraction ‘thin’ (best way i can describe it). Frankly though its pretty flawless, Sykes would be proud. 👍🏻
Thank you Chris 😃👍🎸 i was trying to re-create the original sound...maybe its little to thin...but i kind of like it.
On kyll aitoo Juhaa!! Ei voi kö ihailla!
Kiitokset Risto 😃👍🙏💖
Great cover and very good guitars sessions.
I enjoyed so much the moment.thanks

Thank you 😃👍 I used Neuraldsp Plini/Cory Wong plugin.
Nice job
Thank you.
Nice job! 😀

So much too much gain 😉👍 and thank you 🎸🎸

Check out the description box 👍
Cadê a tablatura?????

Thank you...i guess 😃👍🎸🎸
В видео нет табов! Аффтар барыга.
Check out the description box. Link is there.
Clickbait, where are the tabs?
Check out the description box. Link is there.
This guy must be joking. Tabs are in the Internet since fucking 1996. Your cover is perfect.
These peeps these days be lost if they had to learn by ear on a cassette tape like some of us . Then you have to even learn tuning without a tuner cause most cassette players played either sharp or flat . Tuner was useless. Ok rant over
You play it with a lot of feeling and very delicate but this music is not my cup of tea. Would be rock music (sorry).
That´s totally fine. We all love different things ;) Have a great weekend my friend!
clickbait
What do you mean...check out the description box...
@@JuhaAitakangas no thank you :D
@@loooli.7396 that's totally fine 😃👍
I agree. With tabs, only to find you have to pay. Who pays for tabs nowadays?
I´ve never heard someone playing the solo with such emotion and amazing bends other than Sykes in the album, you are such a great player 👏
Oh, thank you so very much 😃👍🎸🎸
So good
Thank you 😃👍🎸🎸
the guitar tone is on point! i’m in love with the verse riff🖤
Thank you so much 😃👍🎸
What is that amp???
Neuraldsp Plini / Cory Wong plugin
@@JuhaAitakangas But behind you're back, the one that's not on.
