Almost a decade has passed since this video was uploaded and still there is nothing that anywhere this close to it, I still come back to it from time to time headphones on volume cranked.
@@Tylerbag TBH I've probably watched this a hundred times over the years, it's just cool to see someone actually playing the solo as well as you do, and I like your tone and pinch harmonics that would make Zakk Wylde blush.
I’ve watched this video 100+ times. I really can’t think of better hard rock solo ever done...Thank you John Sykes for your brilliance and Tyler for your faithful, if not better, rendition of this masterpiece of music.
superb. that intro, those pick scrapes, them false harmonic squeals. it was a summer night in july, 1987 lake george ny someone just bought the CASSETTE Tape. Put it in the big 80's radio/cassette player and that was it. a black cat moans . . . . A STRAY DOG HOWLS . . . . great stuff ty
Definitely the best John Sykes cover on UA-cam! This video should have at least 100,000 views. You have to be great at something to get 500+ thumbs up and no thumbs down. And that's what this is - great!
@@erike76 Dude he is playing the real song in the backround. How are you suppose to know how well he is playing it when the real guitar playing is all ready playing? Just because he is playing the notes don't mean he is nailing it like Sykes did.
Holy Christ. That's insane. I mean absolutely spot on it's so ridiculous. You can't just play like that by learning I mean you have to have some of this in you. I wish I did.
+Mike Roy Well said. I keep coming back to video version time & time again because its so brilliant. I hope Tylerbag is still playing guitar. It would be a tragedy if he gave it up. Respect to you Sir.
@@madden7732 Some people are more naturally talented towards something than others. Practicing harder has nothing to do with it. Harder is not even the right word. One can practice longer, more often, or everyday. Not harder.
@@JakeJarmel and yes, you're right. Some people are naturally more talented than others. But some people don't learn nor practice the right (or useful) exercises to develop their technique so they get stuck on the road. We everyone can develop technique, You just gotta find exercises that are useful and work for you
My friend..............that was fucking awesome. You nailed it! Nailed it. My deepest respect to you and humbling watching your obvious talent with the guitar. Hope your still playing.
I finally wanted to post on this. I have watched this video often to give myself hope and motivation to keep jamming on guitar. This has been the most inspirational thing I’ve seen. Thank you for keeping me trying to better my playing 🤘
As someone who does not play guitar...this is absolutely amazing and almost like magic it is so precise. I have watched it numerous times and still am awed by it every time.
WoW.... Im speachless..... thank you for making me believe in the love of real guitar playing again..... If you are in a band I want to see you guys!!!! Amazing!!!
Ok.....OFFICIALLY BLOWN AWAY watching such incredible guitar skill !! As magnificent as Sykes ! I just love to watch such skill ! Oh , if only I had such talent and skill...
Wow! My jaw literally just hit the floor! Amazing cover that was spot on note for note..wow..just wow. The tone was there and all the harmonics and then some I noticed you sprinkled towards the end. May be the best performance by anyone since the studio version!
Friend, congratulations... what a healthy envy... I hope in some future life to play as you... what talent, gift from the Gods... that my brother will continue to be blessed... what a fantastic timbre... an enlightened being. Thank you for making me believe this.
Those squeals ....G damn they are spot on..there are people that “play” guitar and then are those that excel on the guitar. I have smoothed out my playing because your videos.
Almost a decade has passed since this video was uploaded and still there is nothing that anywhere this close to it, I still come back to it from time to time headphones on volume cranked.
That's great to hear! Amazes me that these videos are still being watched and commented on ha
@@Tylerbag TBH I've probably watched this a hundred times over the years, it's just cool to see someone actually playing the solo as well as you do, and I like your tone and pinch harmonics that would make Zakk Wylde blush.
@@brians1793 I love his Switchblade Serenade cover. It’s totally insane!
Count me in the same as these other folks. Dude....please post some more. Did you get bored and quit?
Same, lost my hearing too with the closing in loop at max level
Those pinch harmonics at 1:52 and 2:05 are out of this frickin' world!!!
I’ve watched this video 100+ times. I really can’t think of better hard rock solo ever done...Thank you John Sykes for your brilliance and Tyler for your faithful, if not better, rendition of this masterpiece of music.
Wow very kind thank you 👍🏼
Ice Cream Man - Van Halen
10 years have elapsed and I’m just today seeing this. I rarely comment, but Damn, that’s just impressive right there. Nicely done.

DUDE! All I can do is just sit here with my jaw open and shake my head. Absolutely incredible my man.
Awesome, thanks! glad you enjoyed it
8 years later and still the best damn cover of this song I've ever heard!
Holy shit ..it's 2019 .. Just got this..this is some sick guitar playing and tone !!!!!!
Just saw Aug 2019. sick!
Definitely the best John Sykes cover on UA-cam! This video should have at least 100,000 views. You have to be great at something to get 500+ thumbs up and no thumbs down. And that's what this is - great!
I like Trebb version better. More clear.
Already 11 years have passed...Still, best copy that I've ever seen...bravo
Amazing solo maybe you should teach Reb Beach since he cannot play this after more than 10 years in WS. John Sykes would be very proud!
How do we know he is really playing it. To be honest he could just be playing the song in the back round and playing along.
Reb plays this song, not usually, but he plays, different style from sykes, both greats guitar players, Sykes is legendary for this kind of music
Never understood why this solo is not being played by Joel Hoekstra. It fits better with him instead Reb.
@@rayrozniarek8874 You don’t play guitar do you?
@@erike76 Dude he is playing the real song in the backround. How are you suppose to know how well he is playing it when the real guitar playing is all ready playing? Just because he is playing the notes don't mean he is nailing it like Sykes did.
Excellent! Spot on playing. Perfect tone. John Sykes would be proud.
WOW!! The only person I have seen in youtube that really gets the feeling and intensity of John Sykes. I'm amazed once again!!
This is the best version of anyone covering this song on YT that I have seen.....great job entirely ;)
Incredible. I keep coming back to this vid, superb guitar playing.
Same!!
My man ascended to the heavens with that solo
By far the best cover of this song I've watched. Excellent job.
Incrdible solo, great job!!!
Holy Christ. That's insane. I mean absolutely spot on it's so ridiculous. You can't just play like that by learning I mean you have to have some of this in you. I wish I did.

Yes you can. Practice harder and you'll see :D

@@JakeJarmel yep thats what I'm trying to say.

I bet even John Sykes has sat down and watched this and thought ‘fuck, this guys bloody awesome!’.
That would be pretty cool if he has seen it 😄👍🏼
I've watched a handful of covers of this song on here.. Nobody nailed that solo better than you.. EXCELLENT JOB
My God this is sonic perfection. If someone told me John Sykes was behind that Les Paul I'd totally believe it.
Epiphone
The best Crying in the Rain cover out there. You nailed the solo perfectly. Great job, man :)
Guys like this are living proof that Hendrix is NOT the best...period
My friend..............that was fucking awesome. You nailed it! Nailed it. My deepest respect to you and humbling watching your obvious talent with the guitar. Hope your still playing.
Dude. Crushing cover, well done, kicked my ears ass this morning, thanks
I think I've watched this 150 times now, just gets better.🤘😎🤘
Well done at the solo part! And this is indeed one of the greatest guitar solos of all time! Long live JS and his 1987 studio recording legacy.
Mate that is a insane! The solo is bang on! Well done.
Absolute perfection 🤘
I know this vid is 12yrs old… but dang! WOW!!!😮
A song I listened to a lot in my bedroom in the late 80's. Absolutely brilliant! And inspiring!
So long as there are people like you around, doing what you do so bloody brilliantly the classics will never die.
Mate, that was quite honestly, one of the best covers I've heard on youtube!!! Mad props \m/
Beautifully done. Great job. One of my favorite solos.
Absolutely outstanding
I finally wanted to post on this. I have watched this video often to give myself hope and motivation to keep jamming on guitar. This has been the most inspirational thing I’ve seen. Thank you for keeping me trying to better my playing 🤘

Yes!!! That was killer! Loved it! That harmonic towards the end was just sweet.
Flawless!!! My all-time favorite Whitesnake song. You are gifted. Thank you for posting.

Holy shite dude!!! That was AMAZUNG!!!! I dont care if it was 10 years ago. That is alot of TALENT!!!
I dont even think John Sykes could play it like that live to be honest...look at any of his live videos of this song. He would be proud of you dude!!!
MAN this is one of the best cover's that i've heard.. beautiful...the sound, the audicity.. the feeling... you rock dude!!

That solo was bad ass! The whole thing was awesome to watch but to be able to play that solo with that feel is truly amazing. Thanks for posting!

Sexy cover dude, nice work. I like the sound of your guitar and the squeals that you did. Sounds straight from the 80's.
Dude Tyler, you cover that really well. I'm gonna attempt to learn from watching you play it. Thanks, Excellent work.

Those squeals ....G damn they are spot on..there are people that “play” guitar and then are those that excel on the guitar. I have smoothed out my playing because your videos.
