I constantly come back to listening to Adagio's albums from start to finish and am stunned by Stephen's guitar virtuosity and song writing every time like i'm hearing the tunes for the first time. Thus said, straight after I always go in search mode for something new from the band of the maestro himself. Quite delightful find! Underrated af! I love the solo stuff and lowkey hope for new Adagio music.
Dear Great guiterist. This Playthrough is cool. I love it. I like to play the guiter. Someday I hope I can play like you ! but maybe I can't. I got your gifts. thank you so much.
Vraiment excellent ce titre !!!J’aime chaque plans,ambiances,riffs et que dire des leads somptueux.... ..bein qui sont somptueux tout simplement😅 Bravo Stephan et merci !!!!
LE Maitre du légato selon moi,Mr Forte vous avez un niveau incroyable,pas seulement national,mais international,et cela depuis de nombreuses années,et la relève est difficilement assurée!!!!BRAVO et RESPECT.
I’m an instant fan. This is one hell of a song. I’ll also say that I admire that you play a seven-string without incessantly strumming the lowest string; it’s just another brush in your palette, so to speak.
Thanks a lot Michael ! I've been playing 7 strings for a very long time now, but believe me, I did incessantly strum the low string as well when I first played one haha 😉
Du génie !!! Je te connais depuis le premier album de Adagio Sanctus Ignis et la je découvre que tu fais tes propres morceaux... que dis-je , tes masterpieces !!! Merci et on en veut encore 😁😝🔥
Stephan Forté is a rare gem❤ I admire your musicality and utilzation of the Hangarian scales. I'm an ex guitarist who used to play some of your stuff with Adagio which I admire and miss so much. I also talked to you in facebook and MSN loooong time ago 😅 Cheers and love from Morocco
Thanks a lot man. I wrote my music with vocalists for the past 20 years with Adagio, so right now I prefer to keep enjoying writing and playing instrumental music ;) But who knows...
thank you very much Stephan, I would have really loved to have you as a guitar teacher, because all your videos and your tutorials only improve my playing guitar level, and thank you for putting this video because it allows me to work on this piece that I really love (that I really love, to tell the truth: I hopethat it's a premise of your future solo album, because it sounds really good)
@@stephanforte Thank you very much Stephan, I am lucky to be a self-taught musician at the base (I did very little conservatory, unlike you; I am however lucky to have a very good musical ear and a very good sense of rhythm (this is precisely what makes me appreciate Jason Becker, Marty Friedmann, Malmsteen, Michael Romeo, Mick Gordon, Mozart, Beethoven, all your creations as well as that of Franck Hermanny [who I also follow on YT]. I consult and listen to each of your videos (the one you posted this morning was nice, I saved it on my profile so that I can work on it when I have a 7 string (Minotorium [Daz Guitars] in the planning of buying)
I always think that Stephan's music is cold and cynic, but dramatic and elegant(like a poisonous rose!). This is the significant difference and uniqueness from the other many general players. I am sorry that this is not the third solo album due to release method change, but we always support you. Keep rock on, Stephan!
Quelle maîtrise technique et surtout quel travail de composition... Aucune répétition d idée et un thème qui évolue tout au long du morceau... Magnifique 👍👏
You are the number one forever, you are the reason I love playing guitar, on the other side would be awesome to see Ibanez sell your custom guitar ala JIVA style with two options afordable and premium hehehe just thinking out loud, greetings from Mexico
J'aime bien ce côté très concentré à la Paco de Lucia quand vous jouez, ça peut donner l'impression d'une froideur (ou d'une beauté froide), alors qu'en fait pas du tout, on sent beaucoup de tension, beaucoup d'émotions mais intériorisées. C'est très bien construit, les thèmes sont très beaux, ce genre de musique serait parfait pour des films fantastique/horreur. Ou même des jeux vidéos genre Doom ou Résident evil C'est juste dommage qu'on vous voit pas assez sur scène ou sur les médias.
Sounds just like the Devil himself playing the guitar. Noone can play such dark harmonies and tones the way he does ! being a fan of Michael Romeo and Petrucci's works, Stephan is, to me, the only metal guitarist who deserves his place in the Pantheon right next to them.
c est vraiment du petit lait le passage a 2.50 franchement j adore trop c est fluide on a envie d écouter ce fragment pour tjr franchement ca pourrait faire le thème pour un boss sur final fantasy d ailleurs par curiosité a tu déjà était contacter par des société de jeu vidéos tu n es pas obliger de répondre ;) sinon ta Ibanez et vraiment magnifique au passage bonne soirée d un fan conquis depuis adagio
Niveau inatteignable clairement.. même si je fais du 5 heures par jour.. Après le son nickel est aussi top..je donnerai beaucoup pour cette tone. En tout cas ça sent la technique 36 heures par minutes pendant 38 millénaires, avec Zeus en prof privé pour un tel niveau. Au fait, tu connais Jared Dines Shred Collab? Tu pourrais grave être dedans. En tout cas perso, je comprends pas trop ce qu'il se passe, j'ai pas d'énormes notions théoriques, donc si certaines partie sonnent bizarre j'imagine que c'est fait exprès. C'est un style de métal particulier. En tout cas sympa les cheveux aussi.
We need another solo album or album with Adagio..
I love all the solo stuff but i do miss the vocals that we got in the adagio albums. Driving in my car with the music pumping id be singing along.
i just found Stephan Forte. Incredible musician. shred melodic guitarist. i hear all day his albums. amazing talent
🦇🦇🦇🦇🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
it's amazing!!! my top 1 guitarist
Thanks so much Manoel!!
so good. My favorite guitarist for over a decade now.
Thanks a lot Kishan !!
You should send him nudes.
Magnificent. Just watching the picking and sweeps is a joy to behold. Great work 🔥❤️🎸🎶🎶
Thank you SO much L. for those very kind words 🙏🙏

2:46 that mean riff though 😎 and the solos weaved like a master 🤘
Sweet melody and tone. I love how the sweeping theme sounds so melodic yet invoking chaos at the same time 😮
Love your words man, thank you very much!! 🦇

Amazing I’m gonna start sweeping again cuz of this
Awesome, go for it man !!
the best 😍😍😍😍 i like stephan forte 🤴🏻
The best guitar sound I've ever heard. It cannot be mistaken for anyone else
Thank you so much !!
Looking forward to this.
And was amazed by Stéphan as usual, his tone is my cup of tea.
Thanks a lot !!
This is gonna be epic!!
Yooooo maaaaan, just discovered you yesterday by chance..man I was blown away..i felt like listening to Jeff loomis and MAB..your blessed man ❤❤❤

Thanks so much man! Why "EX" guitarist?? You should play again man ! ;)
Puissant !!
Love your stuff Stephan. Have you thought about bringing a guest vocalist? I think some of your instrumental works would work great with a singer .
Thanks a lot man. I wrote my music with vocalists for the past 20 years with Adagio, so right now I prefer to keep enjoying writing and playing instrumental music ;) But who knows...
Très mélodique. J'adore!!!
Amazing player! Fantastic!
Thanks so much man !!
L'ambiance est vraiment bien, belle performance!
Ohh, Adagio was one of my fav bands back in the days. You should really make a new album!
J'adore ce genre de rendez-vous. Trop hâte !!!
Cette ambiaaaance !

Thanks so much for the kind words man !!!
Love this!!! Still hope you do some vocal songs again one day, because your such a great songwriter
Thats wright he is a songwriter (meaning composer) and not a singer.
Thank you very much man, your comment means a lot to me. I will certainly do, but no idea when :)
@@darekogrodnik5650 I guess he's asking if I will I ever write some music with a vocalist again ;)

U can feel the atmosphere,so dark and gloomy,even darker than black itself
I like that comment ;) Thanks man
Очень круто!
А что у него за кольцо? Это отсылка на нацистскую германию?
Спасибо большое!
Это кольцо подарил мне давний друг-байкер!!! Здесь точно нет ничего связанного с нацистами...

Awesome! I wonder what happened to his band Adagio?
Thanks Gregory. I stopped Adagio's activity for the moment
Thanks Stephan
Adagio was Awesome
That "Hotrails" is a mod that you made?
No it's a custom Seymour Duncan made for this guitar
Aussi bon que le clip 👍
Merci !!!! :)
Hey please do new Adagio music, amazing band one of my favorites I hope some day you take it back
Is Adagio dead?
For the moment it sleeps ;)
@@stephanforte That's a shame. I understand though. Great work you're doing anyway! Congratulations!!!
Can't wait.
