Thank you Rick & Phil for having me! 🙏🎸❤️
Absolutely incredible fretless work! Really smooth melding of Angus's style with yours!
I love that vibrato effect you get sliding upwards, example between 06:40 and 06:45 in the video. Is that a quirk of playing with a fretless guitar?
@@ryanfaulkner2839 it’s a sound particular to fretless, dragging pinched harmonics… 👍🎸
Dude that was awesome. Smooth as butter!
That was amazing! Any chance we will get to see Sons of Apollo touring here in the US soon?…🤘😉
Bumblefoot KILLED IT! Sounded like him AND Angus.
The other two are good, but I'm pretty sure I'd like his better than the original if I heard all four for the first time.
Agree. Hate to pick a favorite but Bumblefoots effort seemed like 50% Angus/50%Bumblefoot. Was just so sweet. Loved Phils and Ricks solo's as well and loved Phils enthusiasm and Ricks laugh. Great video.
For the next one, how about “While my Guitar Gently Weeps” where instead of Eric Clapton, the Beatles called in Jimmy Page, David Gilmour, or Jimi Hendrix to play the solo? Great video by the way!
You've got my upvote. That would be amazing. And another suggestion for the solo style might be... George Harrison.
AWESOME idea.
I was the 100th liker of the comment! This means it must be done!
I love your choice of guitarists! Great idea!
Phil X seems such a genuine bloke as well as awesome guitarist and bumblefoot was so good.
This was awesome! My wife walked in while I was watching this and asked, “why does Anthony Bourdain have so many Marshall amps? I didn’t know he could play guitar too!”
Ha ha..
😂
Hhahahhahhhh!!!
Oof I see you don't have the heart to tell her what happened...
Reimagining Comfortably numb's solos. ✨
That may be a sin, lol
Impossible
Am officially now a Phil X fan. Sincere, humble, funny, self deprecating, honest and entertaining. Been a Ron THal fan a long time and Rick fan about 4 years.
As an Aussie who grew up with AC/DC I enjoyed this video. In my younger years they recorded the film clip to Jailbreak just around the corner with Bon Scott and they even played at a local school. AC/DC is a massive slice of Australian rock history. Thank you for bringing something extraordinary and special to a much loved Aussie band. Extremely well done guys. 😎
100% agree Steven!. AC/DC loved playing at local schools whenever they could!
Phil's personality is as good as his playing. Great dude. His solo ripped on this.
What a cool dude, right? I wanna have a beer with him.
I saw him play with Bon Jovi this year. He's got to be one of the best players I've ever seen.
Man.. Bumblefoot's mastering on the fretless is mind blowing. Also 100% agree that you cannot get Angus version out of your mind. It is engraved deep in our mind.
So true, my mind was playing Angus’s solo over theirs. It’s simply iconic.
I didn't even know fretless guitars, other than bass, existed
i got the impression MISCOMMUNICATION happened, cuz it seems like Bumblefoot mostly just played ANgus' solo, but on fretless.......when Rick's request was do YOUR OWN solo, but in the STYLE of Angus......using the fretless.
All 3 solos were amazing but Phil’s solo was absolutely S tier. What a legend.
Phil killed it, really liked the sound and feel of his solo‼️ This was soooo much fun video to watch.
Man bumblefoot went hard on this one. What a legend.
How in the world did he play those highest notes? Many solos I've heard only get up to E6, but this one got up to A6. How?
late af reply so you probably already know, but he has a thimble on his pinky that he uses to tap notes higher that the fret board. Crazy hard to get the notes accurate and he makes it look easy @@DJIncendration
@@MrJimmyjazz666 I actually didn't know. Thank you for telling me, even if it seems late.
This was a tough one because Angus's solo is so engrained in everyone's soul. You can hear each of you trying not to play the original solo.
All played well. BumbleFoot was as if Angus was playing LIVE.
Exactly! Bumblefoot’s solo was the closest to Angus… in the beginning.. but then he went..OFF..!!👍🏼
@@robertakerman3570 lol when has Angus ever played his solos exactly as on the album?
Same with Slash.
They like variation and not 30-40 yrs playing the...same...thing...
@@bobbafett1849 And it's harder to play the recorded solos while you're dancing. Angus' live versions of his solos are usually not as good.
Thinking the EXACT same thing.
Rick, you had me shouting, "Oooohhhh!" at 04:36 - love that layed back, string skipping, ascension lick!
Rick, please keep doing this. This is a GREAT series!!
I cannot believe Ron Thal plays a fretless guitar, his intonation is impeccable
I love how Bumblefoot was sliding into the notes. It was the most like the original but he added to it. All three were amazing!!
Phil's chromatic part at the end was just magic!
I got chills from that
First off, I'm Australian, so you're on shaky territory messing with AC/DC. You guys just translated one of the greatest speeches a guitar ever made with all the respect and love it deserves. I have no theory or practical training in music, just love, and Rick, I love your work.
This just shows 2 things: 1) you are all amazing musicians, 2) you are willing to learn and be humbled!! Amazing work guys, really loved this. Get Tim Pearce to do one of these too!!
And 3) doesn't sound like Angus at all.
@@OzWannabe Style of Angus was the project.
Pete Thorn would be a great guest too.
Those high chromatics at the end of Phil X's solo were VERY original and priceless. In addition, the intonations of his playing and his sound knocked it out of the park.
Mir fehlen die Worte - sowas von abgefahren...ein Stil neben dem anderen und neben dem Original steht für sich, danke für so viel Inspiration und Freude!
That solo is so iconic it's difficult to hear a different one over that break. Rick is right when he says Angus's solo is kind of a composition in itself, which is what makes a solo memorable. i love Phil's playing though, very rock, very exuberant. kicks ass.
Just proves how perfect Angus's solo is, you can literally hum the whole solo right along with song. So jarring to hear something else being played, my ears could not make sense of it. The fretless solo was pretty great though.
Totally agree, everything they're playing sounds great as always but somehow sounds so wrong at the same time.
Me thinks my 15 year old has to explore fretless. He did some violin training so this should be an extreme;y diffiult transition for him...haha...time to get his old Bow out and start horse whipping him with it!
Makes me want to try a play a fretless.
@@williamwilliam728 well it is father's day weekend! 🤣
Love the self deprecation and humility from Rick and Phil. Angus’s solo is so iconic and his phrasing is so dynamic it’s really challenging to cover it without sounding derivative.
The dude with the fretless was amazing!
These were all great. Love Rick and Phil. My favorite of the 3 is Bumblefoot. But honestly, Angus rules. Thing about a great solo is, its not who's best but whos first. Great video. DO HOTEL CALIFORNIA!!!
Great suggestion.
Second that- three Forrest guitar players doing their own Story to the solo… and has to fit together at the finale
I'll vote for anything Eagles. Hotel California, so yes!
@@rdotkey One of these nights has some killer guitar parts. too. Thats a whole series worth
@@barryeaston6837 Forrest??
The EVH solo from Beat It would be the best to reimagine. Lots of room in a classic pop song to get crazy.
Great suggestion!
@@caprise-music6722 Yea, that one also. I always chuckle when I remember Eddie just took the studio fee. He didn't want residuals on that one.
This!
Love this suggestion! It's legendary, but also long enough to give them time to develop something.
Great idea Rick I love these videos!
Sweet Child of Mine might be an interesting challenge for this exercise.
Bumblefoot is playing in another dimension! I thought "Oh yeah - the Back In Black solo played verbatim but on fretless. That's interesting enough." But then he went full Bumblefoot. Mind blowing.
All great! Bumblefoot 😳, how does he play like that 😩💙
I met Ron Thal when he came to my college for a guest lecture. he was such a nice guy, gave me free tickets for his gig that night and even let me play his signature guitar
IT'S WEIRDLY AWESOME!
The solos sound off because their are not reaching the spots in our brain and the expectations are constantly subverted, but at the same time they sound funking amazin! Great idea for a video!
Agree, was/is SO hard to remove the original from your mind. I liked Bumblefoots best because it still followed the pattern of what I'm used to I guess but the fretless sounded cool and his own add-ins were spectacular. I liked the last half of Rick's and probably the same of Phil's.
@@marksvideochannel3592 ooooooooooooooooooooo
@@marksvideochannel3592 Agree Bumblefoot was the best because it was closest to the original.
I have to admit (while I loved all three solos for different reasons) Phil X's solo was the one I personally liked the best. These are fun videos! and I am a drummer, not a guitar player.
yes, phil for sure is amazing.
same here, I think it was the spacing...worked with the strut rhythm better...or something?
LEGENDARY! Please keep doing these!
You guys CRUSHED it! The fretless was mindblowing. Having never played one, my mind was spinning. Well done!
Fantastic, Rick! I was FULLY expecting the 'special guest' to be Angus Himself. He's a cool bloke; I'll bet he'd revisit this one with you as well.
Oh man, what a great idea! Angus playing a different Angus solo. Brilliant! Hats off to you, sir.
Laughed so hard at this comment. That's the way to really make the UA-cam copyright bots upset! Ha!
That would be cool.
Haha when you said “And a third person…” I immediately thought: “Damn, would be cool to see Bumblefoot do this…” 😂😂😂
I was completely the opposite. I thought, no way would Bumblefoot be the man for this,but he proved wrong. He killed it.
When they said Bumblefoot, I thought, never heard of him. That's my bad!
I wanted to see Alex Lifeson do it. That would be different.
Is there a video where Bumblefoot talks about how he got to be so awesome on a fretless? That was crazy good! 😱😎
@@picksalot1 He did guest the “No Guitar is Safe”-podcast a while back!
All three solos are examples of perfection! Bravo!!!!!
Always interesting and always great! Idea: how about putting a solo into a song that doesn't feature one? Deep Purple's "Perfect Strangers" or Led Zeppelin's "Kashmir" (love to hear Phil X's take on that one!) for just two instances...
This is a fantastic idea. Rick, make it happen....PLEASE.
YES. YES. KASHMIR. FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, KASHMIR.
I love this idea! 'The solo that could have been'
Kiko Loureiro did that tbh
With Angra
Hold up people, this wasn't a competition, Rick sounded like Rick Young, Phil sounded like Phil Young, and Ron sounded like Bumble Young, that was the point!
Yes. Couldn't have said it better.🤘
Exactly!!!
…….but
Ron 🥇
Phil 🥈
Rick 🥉
Any of us can jam riffs in a tune but takes creativity to say something unique. Angus is an absolute master at it.
Like Phil said, if it doesn’t say something you’re just another guy in a bar. Kudos to all three players.
I had so much fun listening to all of you play to AC/DC. Great job either way it was fun listening to all the licks. Just plan love music period!!!
Music was first love,still is! Rick Phil and Ron are amazing, peace 🙋♂️😁🕊❤
With due respect to you Rick and Bumble...Phil X nailed it on all counts
I normally don't like when other artists try to "re-interpret" classic solos because it just comes across as the artist doing his own thing in the middle of a classic song. However, I've got to say that you guys killed it here, just like you did on the Stairway video! Every solo was excellent and really did meld Angus' style with each guitarist's soul. Incredibly hard to do, but you pulled it off flawlessly! Great job!
In my younger days, I would agree with you. I would try to play a song exactly, or as close as possible. But now, my thinking is covering a song exactly becomes boring. Where's the creativity to make that song fresh? Be creative while still preserving elements so an audience can recognize and still relate to the song. The other plus is to introduce younger audiences, that doesn't know or even care about the song, become interested and appreciate how music is fluid. One example is where I came across someone on UA-cam turn Beethoven's "Moonlight Sonata" into sounding like heavy metal, keeping elements where it was still recognizable.
@@xenixpro I agree. Playing stuff exactly like the original (especially solos) makes it redundant.
@@Nghilifa It not only applies to solos. Take Simon Phillips' playing with Toto after Jeff Porcaro died. The essence of every song is there but it's unmistakably Simon. Same with Kenney Jones after Keith Moon died.
I'm a drummer that plays some guitar. When "learning" drum parts I never tried to copy everything note by note. I always became a second drummer with the band or a third if Genesis or Allman Bros. When I learn a guitar part I learn the correct chords and structure but I play my own stamp on it. I'm not Alex Lifeson or Jimmy Page. I'm myself and can only play what comes out of my soul.
The reason I loved this video is because it's their souls, not an imitation.
@@BanBanChi Yeah, rather an emulation.
Rick Bumble X … magnificent
All of y’all killed it. Rick, very impressed with yours in particular.
That was incredible! I was waiting to hear Bumblefoots explanation. darn. But I enjoyed you two talking about your approaches.
So much fun! Loved this!!
Back in Black is legendary! Thank you Mr. Rick Beato 👌
Tears of Joy!
Bumblefoot's solo was very good, especially the end part where he got creative, Rick did a solid job and got it to sound like him, and Phil's solo just kicked ass. Well done by all three! Fun to listen to 🤘🤘
Phil is simply guarantee... Everything he touches becomes awesome!!!! And he's a cool guy on top!
Bumblefoot's solo was interesting too with the fretless guitar.
Nice job to all of you!
Rick, it's time... it's time for another song with the re-imagined solo! Love. It.
AC DC - or as they're are also known here in Oz as 'Acca Dacca' - are the best heavy rock band the world has ever known. No contest. 👍
They're still played at every major contact sporting even on the planet! That's proof, I reckon.
I just LOVE this 'music lesson', Mr Beato! Genius! 😇🎶
M 🦘🏏😎
Really enjoyed all, Phil was my favorite. Just love his energy!
I have to try and learn these versions. Phil's solo was my favorite but that ascending run by Rick was awesome and Bumble was somehow both the closest and farthest from the original. Fantastic!
Superb compilation of minds and fingers. Loved it and shared it. Thank you Rick.
Such a classic solo, not only one of Angus Youngs best but one of the best solos of all
time!
Absolutely the truth.
Absolutely the truth.
I feel like Angus is the Ringo of guitar. He serves the song pretty much perfectly, so it's hard for my brain to reconcile with that solo being anything other than what he plays. All 3 solos were really cool, but I think Bumblefoot's did the best job of evolving the original ideas.
BTW, the Beato Book upgrade is amazing. Thank You for this amazing piece of work.
My God - Rick's solo was awesome!!! The we have Phil - so FUN and dripping in humour. Then Ron .. what the fark at the 7min mark - killing it - RBT-Injection! This was absolutely awesome. I can't believe I missed it in June!!! I really hope Angus sees this.
Rick, you definitely need to do this more often - like once a quarter, because these are INSANE.
I really love this. Millions of UA-camrs have the chops to play iconic songs note for note perfectly, while some may even be better than the actual musician. However, very few can come up with their own creative works. So impressed with all three interpreted solos, but I'm blown away by Bumblefoot's version. I hope you can continue doing this series. This is in line with your exercise licks in that it works on the brain's creative part instead of the instruments' technical aspects.
Rick and Bumblefoot solos second parts were fire, but I have to give it to Phil, his solo was great from start to finish!
All three were great, unique in your guy's own sound but captured the "Angus DNA". 100% success!
Man, all these solos were awesome. Each in their own way. Phil is great, one of my favorite guitarists for sure.
Wow, Bumblefoot's work is AMAZING! He intonated better on fretless guitar, than I do on a fretted one :-D
Right? You'd have to adjust every fret after every note lol. If someone's good on fretless he definitely sounds better than anyone on a fretted guitar 💯
I love how the direct connection to the audience, backed by view counts, drives content creation.
Thank you, Mr. Beato.
Another amazingly done backing track, and a clever way to preserve the feel of the original without attracting heat from the bots.
As an Aussie who grew up with AC/DC as a kid & met the band when Bonn Scott was around & who would climb up on his parents roof to hear them playing all the way from Sidney Myer Music Bowl (10km away, still sounded loud), I 100% approve & you guys absolutely killed it.
Phil & Bumblefoot are insane players!
Brilliant fellas. Rick nailed it, Angus solos have a beginning middle and end, with phrasing to die for. What else could you ask for?
Great idea Rick! Phil X and Bumblefoot are 2 great guitarists for sure. I think Bumblefoot can do more with a thimble that most can do with a slide.
Ron is the best... he eats all others...effortless !
As always, y'all crushed it! I love seeing these reimagined solos. It really shows how the original guitarist thought through his solo. And it shows how each of you think through the solo. Especially when. You discussed it afterwards.
All 3 takes were great, but I love Phil... such a character, so much talent. I need to listen to Bumblefoot more.
Fantastic work! My suggestion would be 'Reeling In The Years' because it's another one of those iconic solos that would be very interesting to hear reimagined by some great players.
Phil x (the guitarist) now is touring with the INDONESIAN BAND DEWA 19. They named it DEWA 19 all stars because dhani (guitarist, singer and keyboardist, and the mastermind of DEWA 19 invited one of his influences, which was the phil x and the other two.
Loved it!!!
What a great video …as always! 🤘🏻😁
I love Phil's humility. All the solos were great but the thing about the original solo is the 40+ years of personal associations we all have with it. I'm always curious about solos like these - did Angus compose it or improvise it? It sounds thought out but it could've been completely spontaneous for Angus and his head, heart and hands.
It sounds "thought out" because its basic pentatonic licks - anyone can improvise with the pentaonic scale and make it sound "thought out". There is absolutely nothing impressive about Angus' playing.
Well Will seeing as how Angus is so unimpressive and pentatonic licks are so easy why don't you play something technical hard and impressive for us that people love as much or more than black in black
Man thats your comment? Sounds angry lol
@@officialmetalwill Wouldn't be the internet without the obligatory pretentious commenter looking down on blues players/pentatonic scale.
@@officialmetalwill absolutely nothing special about Angus' playing except that it was the centrepiece of the best selling rock album of all time
This production was so fun to watch, guys! I honestly cannot wait for the next one to be released. :) You three totally made my day! Thank you 🙏🏼
Excellent attempt from all of you guys! Kudos!!!! Keep it coming!!!!
Rick and Phil are great players, no doubt, but Bumblefoot just knocks it out of the park, as usual! 🤘
That slide-feel fits B in B so incredibly well 🙏
Amazing Rick! that was cool!....Steely Dan Reeling in the years would be interesting to see what you guys would come up with! cheers!
The discussion of how to build a solo 7:40 was SPOT ON!
Sooo entertaining.... hard work, experienced comedy, respect , everything is here. Thank you . What a show....
I just tried doing this. It's so hard when the original solo is so engrained in you and you're stuck thinking "No, THAT'S how you play it!"
Awesome! My second favorite video of yours behind the Stairway video!
“Comfortably Numb” and this should be a two part or longer video. TWO SOLOS!!!
Outstanding ! More of these please, get all those guitarist soloing.
"Sultans of Swing" would be an awesome song for this series!
Reimagining the Solo is just brilliant. It's everything I love as a guitarist. I hope you keep evolving the concept into something where viewers can participate as well. Keep rockin!
I remember back when I was a kid messaging Phil X on UA-cam asking about tips and tricks from fretted americana videos :) He always replied too! Nothing has made me happier than seeing how successful he's become!
What a great video, loved that solo by Phil, absolutely devastating.
Phil x stairway to heaven solo was the best thing I’ve ever heard. Can’t wait to hear this!
How about you guys try to reimagine the solo for “Sultans Of Swing” by Dire Straits
That would be cool
That's a great shout, and would be incredibly challenging I reckon. Poor Phil would have to clear his schedule for an entire week!
That is probably my favorite guitar song of all time... the whole song, including the perfect solos... masterpiece.
I loved it! Not even for the creative departure as much for the enthusiasm and respect you each brought to the video and song. Awesome job by all!!
Very cool...and funny...loved Bumblefoot's reverse finger tap lick at the end!
The Bumblefoot solo is brilliant! 👏
