    Fabulous cover my friend, what a great choice, I purchased the remastered edition of the first Blue Murder CD, sounds incredible now, I wish John Sykes would release more stuff, even new play through UA-cam videos from him would satisfy his fans, excellent rendition mate, great to see all the guitar parts in this track being played so well, congratulations brother your videos are stellar. Cheers

    Monstrous!!! Sykes kills and so do you Brother! I got this album as a promo from the record store my soon to be wife worked at back in 89 ( ahhh, young love). Sykes is right up there with VH, Vai, Yngwie, Friedman, Becker any any and all of them back then. A true original voice.

    Brilliant. I always heard the double stops at the end of the main riff as a fast double slide up rather than the hammer-on pull-off as you do. You are surely correct and I need to go off and listen more closely.

    • @ClassicSoloSpotlight
      @ClassicSoloSpotlight  Рік тому +3

      Thanks. I dont remember now, but its possible that I used those hammers (no pull offs) to get a more solid feel in the riff. Because Sykes did love those double slides. They're all over that album.

Great work, you are an inspiration, bravo maestro!!!
