Guitar player is great but also props to that drummer for adjusting his dynamics perfectly to match the feel and groove of the solo. Created a nice solid foundation for the soloist.
Is there a pre-arranged signal to get back into the song? Like either the drummer or the guitarist says "when you hear this fill/lick, the next bar rejoins the song"?
I agree up to a point, I think a more dynamic, melodic and aggressive bassist could turn this into all that it’s capable of. Weak link in the chain, yet he’s an admirable, solid bassist.
AGREED!!! That was SUPER tight!! That is incredibly difficult to play THAT tight with THAT much space between the notes. Very sparse. Veru tight. Kudos to the rhythm section as well!!
Even better is how the band knows just to sit back and let him take centre stage. This is outstanding. This is the kind of solo that makes other guitarists jealous.
I don't get jealous of alternate leads..hell I'm 63 and as younger guy 40yrs ago and unless I sat in for friend a coupla times.

@@lemfandango A guitar solo is a guitar solo. But a band’s rhythm section who know how to let the guitarist shine through is a different skillset entirely you fuckwit
Every young player should watch this. This is a perfect example of how to play a solo. It’s not about how many notes or how fast you can play. It’s about knowing when and what to play, soul, passion and the guitar being an extension of you.
@@christophersmith8486 I honestly had no idea who this guy was before this video. He's blown my expectations of what one person can do with a guitar. Super lit
Yeah, the fact that there wasn’t a “too-loud” conversation happing close to the camera and drowning out the tune, made this much different from any live recording my old band ever tried to do. 😂
I noticed that too. At one point when things really started hitting its' stride, he looked over at the bass player, but didn't turn. I thought, man I wouldn't be able to resist playing off the bass, then I thought just like you........the show was for the audience, not the two musicians. There's plenty of time at practice for that.
He's unpredictable. It sounds like he's about to careen off the rails any second.... but he never does. Creates tension. Awesome. And thank God for Jeff Beck.
@@foxbor0 pretty sure he’s talking about what the guys wearing. It kinda looks like he’s wearing stuff you can find at H&M. also he isn’t saying anything bad about his skill lol
Don't know if it's common knowledge or not but the guitar he's playing actually has a hollow steel body, probably goes a long way to getting that sitar like tone he gets just by playing closer to the bridge
He was absolutely very creative with it. The places where he took that solo, not a single one was predictable and it just took me in for a freakin awesome ride
Naa felt pretty predictable and boring. Didn’t. Show off no surprising nor mediocre technique. Also he is soloing on a simple ass groove which is easy to be created. He’s like tryna be a John Mayer wannabe if u tell me.
Ohhh my god, I feel like my ears took Xanax. Every instrument was just right, and I could tell that solo had the whole building in a trance. Absolutely breathtaking..
Cream is the epitome of that but cant go wrong with a 4th and A funky bad ass keyboard player. Or you got white stripes which created amazing sound with just guitar and drummer. When its magic its magic and obvious
Peter Bernstein’s philosophy on soloing is that it should be just like story-telling. Good story telling = “I had no idea the story was going to go there” and then retrospectively, “there is no logical place the story could have gone that would have worked better”.
Killer Solo but the crowd being quiet is almost impossible when playing live. Telling drunk or buzzed people to keep it down usually back fires, but the room is silent and the vibe is epic.
@@padarousou i once was in a packed small club where the band managed to silence everybody in tensed anticipation, what a goose bump moment... pretty similar. awesome.
When band get mad at the crowd for talking I can’t help but think they just wish they had this kind of control over the crowd. An unspoken kind of control.
Come on man they were barely even playing! In the begining of the solo when the guitarist was struggling to find the key, they completely stopped and looked at him like what the hell are you doing? The wheels came completely off the wagon at that point. Then they restarted with the same repetitive one note baseline and almost nothing drum beat they had been doing all along. The way the comments are as if these guy were the inventers, originators, and Holy Trinity of the simple rudimentary blues progression is redictculus !
@jay Jay Basic huh? True experienced musicians, you know the professional ones...not bedroom players like yourself, would not say nasty shit like this. This is a player with a heap of talent.....any guitarist with a wooden ear knows this. Dick

@@jackmaple6679 Speaking as someone from the US, the degree of civility displayed by Canadians toward each other in most area of life is one of their defining attributes. It was just a guess, otherwise.
Damn...such controlled emotive playing... and even when he lets go every phrase is still exactly what is needed to emote the music. Damn fine musicianship from the entire band... everyone knows their role and plays it to perfection....even the crowd was cool...they knew they were witnessing something special... they knew.
Yeah right when I think he's not gonna have the best transition out of a lick in a scale he pulls something out of his hat. IIt kind of reminded me of Steve Vai's tender surrender, builds :)
This is a bad cat on multiple levels. He's got soul in his voice that is also in his fingers. And he's combining great technic with and without the slide. Plus really great tone. And he's actually saying something in his solos. Very melodic but, also very lyrical. I am an instant fan. Thanks Paul.
That was fucking unreal. The amount of sheer energy and passion that went into that solo was so moving and powerful. Fuck man, rarely ever does a solo bring tears to my eyes like this one. The way the rest of the band flourished halfway thru the solo with the guitarist was so tasteful. That was a truly moving beyond belief
I wonder when everyone will stand up to the Nazis that control us all, say fuck what they say, and just do whatever. I want to see live shows again too. But, nope Nazi Germany is here.
@@charlesmartiniii1405 that doesn’t matter, his point was if no one ever recorded concerts, we wouldn’t be able to see great stuff like this... regardless if it’s the venue owner. I hate when people say don’t record. Like... I want to be able to rewatch what I paid for. ESPECIALLY IF ITS GOOD!
@@levipippin9976 why not enjoy the moment you payed to be there in person not look through a camera. Any concert you go to theres probably other videos posted from that concert. Trust me other people do not want to see a shitty video that doesn't come close to replicating how the real experience is
@@charlesmartiniii1405 well obviously 232 thousand people disagree with you, and want to watch videos like this. Plus, I can enjoy a concert just the same with or without a phone in my hand. And about the “probably other videos of it”... most of the time, if they record professionally, it costs money to watch... and you might want to capture where your were, and the whole experience of being in the crowd. I just hate when people say, “just be in the moment” because in 1 day when your not in the moment, and you want to remember what it was like, you have a video for it. But Idk man...
Listen to a lot of jazz, and especially fusion and you’ll hear a lot of this, although each player is unique in his own right. This guy has it all- chops, rhythm, voicing, phrasing, dynamics, the understanding of his fretboard and shapes to make it all work.
If this was a song on spotify it would've been on my top 100 for sure. I come back to this very regularly, especially if I need a little creative spark to get in the groove, this'll do it every time. His guitar is truly just an extension of him, the dream.
The dissonance is probably the most important thing in this whole solo... even when things are really minor blues, he hits from time to time on a major finish and it just gives such a wonderful surprise that my brain fucking craves...
He PLAYED that solo and PLAYED that crowd. They were speechless. The vibe did its own thing that night and he was on it. My man. I hope to be able to conduct a crowd one day. I hope to have this opportunity. Keep it up Spink
I love how he starts with a short but sick little lick before going into some unusual progressions, likes he’s just telling the crowd “trust me, I got this”, then proceeds to crush it. A master of his craft 🙌🏻
For those looking for more info on this dude, his name is Ariel Posen. He’s an absolute BEAST (if you hadn’t picked that up from the video) and that guitar he uses is anything but ordinary. If memory serves me right, it’s a completely hollow steel guitar in the shape of a strat. Combine that with some low tunings and his crazy hybrid slide techniques, and what you see is what you get. Highly recommend checking him out on That Pedal Show, they have a couple of great interviews with him that go into detail about this stuff.
Correct me if I'm wrong but I think that T-type MAY be an EB Rooster built by Daniel Blom of Fairview Tennessee. The moment it engaged my eye I knew the neck to be torrified. Can anyone shed a little more light on this wonderful guitar?
Anyone with a slide on their hand that has been able to spend time around Sonny Landreth is going to bring something special. This is different and unique!
@@marcturkel205 Ariel played with the Bros. Landreth, a Canadian band with brothers Joey and David Landreth, not Sonny Landreth. While they share the same last name, the brothers aren't directly related to Sonny. Joey is a beast on slide as well. ua-cam.com/video/qgB_FTvlkY4/v-deo.html
I’m sorry. Why am I just seeing this now? So 2 years this masterpiece has just been floating around? What the fuck did I just watch?? This is raw talent at the very core of improv. What you are seeing is a mixture of styles, just thrown together in this perfect dance. Dude honestly, I had chills 😢
It took a little to figure out where he was going, but this really was a very unique performance. Most slide players are pretty predictable, you can only do so much. This guy did things that were totally non-cliche' and it was a great performance. It's amazing how dynamic a 3 piece band can be. I had by far the most fun and creativity playing in a 3 piece than any other music project I played in.
REally hard these days to hear such a blend of taste, musicality and technique...Maybe not only the best in those 12 years and at your venue. This is world class. Could be at any record of any major artist. What a bless that someone recorded it so it was not taken into the deep pond of forgetfulness and oblivion.
Yeah this is some high class shit. This stuff isn't super easy to play and it requires so much subtly. No hiding wrong or missed notes behind guitar effects or big band mix. What really sets this apart is that not only do you have to have all the technique required to play these notes, you also need the confidence to pull it off
eh. actually it was quite weak if i'm taking the role of Simon Cowell bluntness. I've seen cats do multiple levels better at this same kind of thing at backyard parties. but what matters is that it spoke to you, so in that he succeeded.
I deadass read the title as the worst solo, and read every comment with a sarcastic tone. No pun intended. The first 30 seconds also helped with my misreading.
Nathan! Been listening to great musicians over 60 years and will go away. There is 50 guitar players and older musicians that blows this guy away. Yet! Most of us never heard of this best ever guitar player. Turn on Gary Moore or Peter Framptom, or Freddie King, just a few- Rory Gallagher. Jeff Beck! JJ CALE? Sorry if you got offended! SRV maybe could have got lessons from your best ever guitar player or Eddie Van Halen. Most of these guys sold out huge venues. I never did get this guitar skingers name? Was it Joe Satriani?
@@richardschauf7373 Humble Pie's Smokin' is one of my favorite albums of all time and I absolutely idolized EVH growing up, you don't need to preach to me. I'm telling you to go away because neither myself nor the comment I was replying to said this was the best solo of all time, so you've obviously misplaced something along the way. Technically, the title of the video wasn't saying it either. You have your 60 years, sure, but the poster of the video only has his 12 (at least). It's a nice, soulful solo. Let us be impressed, if only for the hell of it, please.
Yeah no surprise. That's Ariel Posen, especially known for his hybrid slide techniques. Dude is killer and the drummer and bassist are so tasteful and in the pocket. Love how they accent the mood of his solo!
@@spincego3946 *OPINION* I heard a few strong influences in there. Obviously Derek trucks. I heard a good amount of Joe Bonamassa. Maybe some SRV in there. And some Roy Buchanan for sure. Honorable mention, David Gilmour.
Hello NASA. This kinda be a breaking news, but i found a comment saying that there was a living creature from another planet. He got a weapon that produces some weird sound. And I saw that all the people around was hypnotized by that sound.
It’s refreshing to see the drums and bass hanging on every lick to get the solo where it needs to go. Their dynamics really make this something even more special.
@@MLGB0Yz yeah I'm gonna have to agree with you on this one cuz normally I find it annoying ppl just correcting other ppl's grammar on the internet, but on this one it hurts to see it
This is absolutely excellent. I could feel his passion and you can see that this was more than a solo .. It was from this man's soul , emotions in the air on every note . 🎵🎶🎶
@@brendan8915 then u are trash for sure, playing guitars for 12 years and the skills of this guitarist are medium, he feels it very well and hes improvisation is awesome, but hes technique/difficulty lvl on this solo isnt very high
@@Stratocaster123 Then you missed what « guitar skills » really are… What is the point of being able to play every scales and master the most difficult technics if you are not able to write anything ? The build up for this solo is godlike, a whole story has been told, emotions and smart choices of intensity… Not very technical indeed but wins hands down against any of nonsense shredders He got the crowd silent during the whole performance, everybody was captivated and lost into every note of his solo. That is insane guitar skills if you ask me
I like the hints of classical music peaking through the cracks there. Edit: gotta mention the drummer, what an absolute legend, knows exactly how to stay out of the way and when not to.
One of the best things about guy, he didn't seem to "repeat any of his licks" again and again, like most guitarist do! It really comes down to, "practice makes perfect"!! His licks were "tastey"!!
@@rizkydiswarin4328 actually yes i am the only way to listen to good music LOL. I wasn't talking about the whole solo just a little right after the beginning and towards the end. To use the word never is a stretch in anything someone is describing. I didn't say it to start an argument just my opinion. I've been playing guitar, drums, and piano for over 45 years so i have a little knowledge on the subject peace brother be safe.
@@jimmyb4728 Hey Jimbo, thanks for your reply to my comments on this unknown guitar player. You know, we may be talking about 2 different guitar players! And, have you read some of the other people replies on this guy? They seem to be on the same page as I am.. This Guy, really practices and has come up with some real unique patterns that I was real enthused about! It didn't seem to do the same for you? I guess it all depends on "who you've been listening to, and who you like as a guitar player"? Personally I like, "Different and uniqueness"! OR, maybe it's "envy" that is motivating you! Who Knows! But, "keep on picking my Friend"!!
@@rizkydiswarin4328 Hey Rizky, NO! I wasn't high when I listen to this unknown guitar player! I think, "that's part of it", I should now try to listen to this same guy, with a little buzz going on! I'm sure it will be "that much better"!! You know, I don't know what really motivates people to comment like you do, which is, "just the opposite way that I OR a bunch of others who heard him", commented on ? I really feel it has something to do with "personal tastes"! AND, who we all Personally enjoy listening to! For example, "you maybe into Heavy Metal"(this is just an example)?? If that's the case, then that would make sense!! Because this guy, was not "that kind of Heavy!" But he was, "inventive and creative", and again, I did not hear him repeat any thing "Identical" which a lot guitar players in the past, find a cool riff, and then "PLAY IT TO DEATH"! Over and over again!! When that happens, I know what "their next song will already sound like"!! So now, all I can say, is "Keep on picking my friend"! I would imagine you play the guitar right?
REALLY UNIQUE! Best analogy I can think of: He's playing like he is driving drunk on 2 wheels just good enough not to drop it, then rocks it down a black diamond ski slope and stops right at the bar to order the next round!
The comments in here that are critical of the simple and lackluster base playing and simplicity of the drumming, just astound me. I wonder if you guys are musicians making these comments or have ever been in bands. Never mind being professional musicians, and I mean actually touring and recording musicians. Because if you really were You wouldn’t have made these comments. The drummer and bass player have is incredible maturity, insight and great instincts. If you were listening or paying attention, you would hear how complex and orchestral the guitarist is in his solo, and these provided the perfect intuitive backdrop, and musical musical canvas for his solo. Its amazing
You know that feeling when you know you're witnessing something special, but you don't realize it until it's almost over? Yeah... I bet everybody in that joint felt that at about the 4:45 mark.
@@adampracticesguitar someone else on here said the name of the song is Angeline... I’m just discovering this dude for the first time myself and I must hear more!
The use of the Chromatic Scales is precise, sounds amazing and a great example in this video... *Hint to new players out there, who tend to make "mistakes" and hit "wrong" notes. This video shows there is no such thing as a wrong note it's what you do with it after..
tsym for the tip, I've been playing for only one year and play better than my dad who went to music school for 6 years. I barely know any music theory but when making my own melodies and riffs I found this very true.
I'm seeing a lot of negative comments, but I think those people are expecting the generic metal type solo done extremely fast or something...this dude is off the chain. What he's doing is super creative, different & difficult. I thought it was sick. *Edit: I think i used the wrong term when I said "generic", I think "stereotypical" might have been a better word. Just to be clear I love metal. & metal solos are almost always incredible.
go listen to some '95 Phish if this gets you going. Any Harry Hood, or anything from the album Rift. Has to be a live cut, of which all are freely available.
Hell yeah that shit was badass..people dont understand how hard it is to play slide and sred with it stil on and in between shreds at that..shit was fucking fire
the solo gently yanks one single tear out of my eye over the 4 minutes he performed it. like pulling marrow out from the bone over 4 minutes but in a good way making me feel all giddy inside.
So many great things about Ariel’s playing and choices, and beautiful feel. As other people have commented, he switches up rhythm and doesn’t play the same thing twice. demonstrating a wide range of melodic choices. His feel on slide is crushing, and that open flat 2nd is haunting at the opening. And something else - because he’s tuned to an open minor chord, it sounds fresh and surprising. Basically a D-flat minor with the capo on. And that is very, very cool. With all the inversions created, and when he modulates to the major and back, it gets really really rich. This is just a perfect guitar solo. Rick Beado should be breaking this one down....
Imagine thinking a master of his craft is all over the place. Listening to the music but not hearing it, feeling it. This is one of the most tasteful solos ive ever heard.
yes, indeed very real, heartfelt and spontaneous guitar playing. The kind of thing guitar players do in their heads but can't quite pull it off in reality as well as this. Shine on Mr Ariel we get your signal.
Magnifique. I discovered Ariel Posen more than ten years ago with his rendition of Circus of Dirty Loops. I follow him since that day. He's getting always better. Now he's incredible. Thanks to him.
His name is Ariel Posen, look him up on UA-cam.. and yes he is the best you’ve had in your club.. lucky you had him. He’s a super star with recognition by the likes of John Mayer as one of the best. He’s original too, we need more like him breaking new ground.
@@cchase92 Indeed, recognition from the grammy-winning, world-class guitar legend Caleb Chase is far superior to the recognition of that nobody John Mayer... xD
A Robin Trower's quote was: "It's impossible to play a run with as much feeling as a single note. I've never been so much into runs as making single notes cry."
Guitar player is great but also props to that drummer for adjusting his dynamics perfectly to match the feel and groove of the solo. Created a nice solid foundation for the soloist.
Yes. But that bass player ... there’s the floor

@@BobbyGeneric145 sometimes, sure there might be... seems to me here they're just following the guitarist's dynamics ...
It seems that these guys were jamming a lot together. After hours of playing together you can feel what your bandmate will be doing next.
Nonverbal communication usually. Give your bandmates the look, lift the neck of your guitar to let them know the drop is coming
I agree up to a point, I think a more dynamic, melodic and aggressive bassist could turn this into all that it’s capable of. Weak link in the chain, yet he’s an admirable, solid bassist.

@jay Jay bro this is just impressive :I
Awesome solo for sure
Quiet, respectful audience...damn
anybody that knows anything about music and what they were witnessing had them in shock, unable to speak or move..jaw on the floor , eyes on his every move lol!
I’m always amazed at crowd reactions. Like the Warren Haynes solo in Cortez the Killer w DMB. I’d be losing my shit!
I’m guessing Canada?

@@anivesh whenever you do better I'll gladly watch
Just dropping a comment for the drummer who is somehow underrated
Damn...such controlled emotive playing... and even when he lets go every phrase is still exactly what is needed to emote the music. Damn fine musicianship from the entire band... everyone knows their role and plays it to perfection....even the crowd was cool...they knew they were witnessing something special... they knew.
Yeah right when I think he's not gonna have the best transition out of a lick in a scale he pulls something out of his hat.
IIt kind of reminded me of Steve Vai's tender surrender, builds :)
This is a bad cat on multiple levels. He's got soul in his voice that is also in his fingers. And he's combining great technic with and without the slide. Plus really great tone. And he's actually saying something in his solos. Very melodic but, also very lyrical. I am an instant fan. Thanks Paul.
@Daniel Evertt lol I'm in, but seriously I have covid so I can't taste squat.
That was fucking unreal. The amount of sheer energy and passion that went into that solo was so moving and powerful. Fuck man, rarely ever does a solo bring tears to my eyes like this one. The way the rest of the band flourished halfway thru the solo with the guitarist was so tasteful. That was a truly moving beyond belief
Seeing this makes me hate coronavirus just a little more than I already do...I miss live music.
Man I miss live music so fucking much. Manage to catch a motorcycle show or two this summer but nothing good since.
Me too. I miss having a job
I wonder when everyone will stand up to the Nazis that control us all, say fuck what they say, and just do whatever. I want to see live shows again too. But, nope Nazi Germany is here.
But you just saw him playing,"live"🤔

@@charlesmartiniii1405 that doesn’t matter, his point was if no one ever recorded concerts, we wouldn’t be able to see great stuff like this... regardless if it’s the venue owner. I hate when people say don’t record. Like... I want to be able to rewatch what I paid for. ESPECIALLY IF ITS GOOD!
@@levipippin9976 why not enjoy the moment you payed to be there in person not look through a camera. Any concert you go to theres probably other videos posted from that concert. Trust me other people do not want to see a shitty video that doesn't come close to replicating how the real experience is

And about the “probably other videos of it”... most of the time, if they record professionally, it costs money to watch... and you might want to capture where your were, and the whole experience of being in the crowd. I just hate when people say, “just be in the moment” because in 1 day when your not in the moment, and you want to remember what it was like, you have a video for it. But Idk man...
Listen to a lot of jazz, and especially fusion and you’ll hear a lot of this, although each player is unique in his own right. This guy has it all- chops, rhythm, voicing, phrasing, dynamics, the understanding of his fretboard and shapes to make it all work.
Any fusion artists you recommend in particular?
This is sort of the Chet Atkin-ish solo in the modern era. But seriously though, i love Chet Atkins solo.
@@kenz2756 Me too! I guess I’m hoping to discover newer artists in this vein (or at least, newer to me), but it’s hard to beat the classics!
@@Updog89 well, two guys that aren't like this but are two amazing jazz players would be Frank Gambale and Allan Holdsworth!
But can they play it twice exactly the same?
If this was a song on spotify it would've been on my top 100 for sure. I come back to this very regularly, especially if I need a little creative spark to get in the groove, this'll do it every time. His guitar is truly just an extension of him, the dream.

@@pattillo21 the man himself made a video about this performance of the solo. Go check his channel out!
The dissonance is probably the most important thing in this whole solo... even when things are really minor blues, he hits from time to time on a major finish and it just gives such a wonderful surprise that my brain fucking craves...
For anyone wondering the drummer is Davie Ryan and the bassist is Eoin Walsh, 2 Irish lads!
The band is just Ariel Posen (the lads were on his European tour) and I think the tune is Angeline
Thanks for the names list, Ian Gubbins.
The guitarist must be some reincarnation of Rory Gallagher then
Didn't realise it was Davie! Awesome!
Go on the lads!
He PLAYED that solo and PLAYED that crowd. They were speechless. The vibe did its own thing that night and he was on it. My man. I hope to be able to conduct a crowd one day. I hope to have this opportunity. Keep it up Spink
I love how he starts with a short but sick little lick before going into some unusual progressions, likes he’s just telling the crowd “trust me, I got this”, then proceeds to crush it. A master of his craft 🙌🏻
For those looking for more info on this dude, his name is Ariel Posen. He’s an absolute BEAST (if you hadn’t picked that up from the video) and that guitar he uses is anything but ordinary. If memory serves me right, it’s a completely hollow steel guitar in the shape of a strat. Combine that with some low tunings and his crazy hybrid slide techniques, and what you see is what you get. Highly recommend checking him out on That Pedal Show, they have a couple of great interviews with him that go into detail about this stuff.
Correct me if I'm wrong but I think that T-type MAY be an EB Rooster built by Daniel Blom of Fairview Tennessee. The moment it engaged my eye I knew the neck to be torrified. Can anyone shed a little more light on this wonderful guitar?
@@aviatorblc it's a Mule PosenCaster
@@vincentbull thank you.
Anyone with a slide on their hand that has been able to spend time around Sonny Landreth is going to bring something special. This is different and unique!
@@marcturkel205 Ariel played with the Bros. Landreth, a Canadian band with brothers Joey and David Landreth, not Sonny Landreth. While they share the same last name, the brothers aren't directly related to Sonny. Joey is a beast on slide as well. ua-cam.com/video/qgB_FTvlkY4/v-deo.html
Ariel took his time and built something meaningful... this solo is living, breathing musical artistry.
I’m sorry. Why am I just seeing this now? So 2 years this masterpiece has just been floating around? What the fuck did I just watch?? This is raw talent at the very core of improv. What you are seeing is a mixture of styles, just thrown together in this perfect dance. Dude honestly, I had chills 😢
Hahah great comment
One of the best solos I’ve EVER heard
What the FUCK 😮
I'm thinking we're seeing this cause Jeff Beck just left us.. and this guy is sooooo Beck2.0
Why are you sorry?
It’s ok. I saw it two years ago and just came back to show it to my dad for the first time. It never gets old.
It took a little to figure out where he was going, but this really was a very unique performance. Most slide players are pretty predictable, you can only do so much. This guy did things that were totally non-cliche' and it was a great performance. It's amazing how dynamic a 3 piece band can be. I had by far the most fun and creativity playing in a 3 piece than any other music project I played in.
REally hard these days to hear such a blend of taste, musicality and technique...Maybe not only the best in those 12 years and at your venue. This is world class. Could be at any record of any major artist. What a bless that someone recorded it so it was not taken into the deep pond of forgetfulness and oblivion.
Yeah this is some high class shit. This stuff isn't super easy to play and it requires so much subtly. No hiding wrong or missed notes behind guitar effects or big band mix.
What really sets this apart is that not only do you have to have all the technique required to play these notes, you also need the confidence to pull it off
eh. actually it was quite weak if i'm taking the role of Simon Cowell bluntness. I've seen cats do multiple levels better at this same kind of thing at backyard parties. but what matters is that it spoke to you, so in that he succeeded.
Oh, it still will. I give it a week!
(Slide into the deep pond...)
For anybody wondering, the name of the song is Angeline.
Nobody cares
Nice, thanks

Nathan! Been listening to great musicians over 60 years and will go away. There is 50 guitar players and older musicians that blows this guy away. Yet! Most of us never heard of this best ever guitar player. Turn on Gary Moore or Peter Framptom, or Freddie King, just a few- Rory Gallagher. Jeff Beck! JJ CALE? Sorry if you got offended!

I'm telling you to go away because neither myself nor the comment I was replying to said this was the best solo of all time, so you've obviously misplaced something along the way. Technically, the title of the video wasn't saying it either. You have your 60 years, sure, but the poster of the video only has his 12 (at least). It's a nice, soulful solo. Let us be impressed, if only for the hell of it, please.
Yeah no surprise. That's Ariel Posen, especially known for his hybrid slide techniques. Dude is killer and the drummer and bassist are so tasteful and in the pocket. Love how they accent the mood of his solo!

Best solo by a longshoreman that I've heard in a while.
It’s refreshing to see the drums and bass hanging on every lick to get the solo where it needs to go. Their dynamics really make this something even more special.

He got the crowd silent during the whole performance, everybody was captivated and lost into every note of his solo. That is insane guitar skills if you ask me
I like the hints of classical music peaking through the cracks there.
Edit: gotta mention the drummer, what an absolute legend, knows exactly how to stay out of the way and when not to.
What kind of hints? I don't hear it
One of the best things about guy, he didn't seem to "repeat any of his licks" again and again, like most guitarist do! It really comes down to, "practice makes perfect"!! His licks were "tastey"!!
4/5's through the video thats all he does is repeat the same lick and also in the beginning what the hell are you talking about
are you high?
@@rizkydiswarin4328 actually yes i am the only way to listen to good music LOL. I wasn't talking about the whole solo just a little right after the beginning and towards the end.

I've been playing guitar, drums, and piano for over 45 years so i have a little knowledge on the subject peace brother be safe.
@@jimmyb4728 Hey Jimbo, thanks for your reply to my comments on this unknown guitar player. You know, we may be talking about 2 different guitar players! And, have you read some of the other people replies on this guy? They seem to be on the same page as I am.. This Guy, really practices and has come up with some real unique patterns that I was real enthused about! It didn't seem to do the same for you? I guess it all depends on "who you've been listening to, and who you like as a guitar player"? Personally I like, "Different and uniqueness"! OR, maybe it's "envy" that is motivating you! Who Knows! But, "keep on picking my Friend"!!
@@rizkydiswarin4328 Hey Rizky, NO! I wasn't high when I listen to this unknown guitar player! I think, "that's part of it", I should now try to listen to this same guy, with a little buzz going on! I'm sure it will be "that much better"!! You know, I don't know what really motivates people to comment like you do, which is, "just the opposite way that I OR a bunch of others who heard him", commented on ? I really feel it has something to do with "personal tastes"! AND, who we all Personally enjoy listening to! For example, "you maybe into Heavy Metal"(this is just an example)?? If that's the case, then that would make sense!! Because this guy, was not "that kind of Heavy!" But he was, "inventive and creative", and again, I did not hear him repeat any thing "Identical" which a lot guitar players in the past, find a cool riff, and then "PLAY IT TO DEATH"! Over and over again!! When that happens, I know what "their next song will already sound like"!! So now, all I can say, is "Keep on picking my friend"! I would imagine you play the guitar right?
REALLY UNIQUE! Best analogy I can think of:
He's playing like he is driving drunk on 2 wheels just good enough not to drop it, then rocks it down a black diamond ski slope and stops right at the bar to order the next round!
Yes Mate, I'd go with that
perfect analogy.
This made me laugh hard

The comments in here that are critical of the simple and lackluster base playing and simplicity of the drumming, just astound me. I wonder if you guys are musicians making these comments or have ever been in bands. Never mind being professional musicians, and I mean actually touring and recording musicians. Because if you really were You wouldn’t have made these comments. The drummer and bass player have is incredible maturity, insight and great instincts. If you were listening or paying attention, you would hear how complex and orchestral the guitarist is in his solo, and these provided the perfect intuitive backdrop, and musical musical canvas for his solo. Its amazing

@@adampracticesguitar someone else on here said the name of the song is Angeline... I’m just discovering this dude for the first time myself and I must hear more!

This is Ariel Posen, he’s pretty well known in the guitar circles. Check out some of the Andertons guitar shop vids on you tube.
yup great guitarist
As a musician, knowing how to build suspense and have a narrative working up to a crescendo is the pinnacle of great and profound music
The use of the Chromatic Scales is precise, sounds amazing and a great example in this video... *Hint to new players out there, who tend to make "mistakes" and hit "wrong" notes. This video shows there is no such thing as a wrong note it's what you do with it after..
tsym for the tip, I've been playing for only one year and play better than my dad who went to music school for 6 years. I barely know any music theory but when making my own melodies and riffs I found this very true.
I need to remember this... I'm a complete perfectionist. A "okay, start the whole song over 'cause I just screwed up" perfectionist. Very bad.

the solo gently yanks one single tear out of my eye over the 4 minutes he performed it. like pulling marrow out from the bone over 4 minutes but in a good way making me feel all giddy inside.
So many great things about Ariel’s playing and choices, and beautiful feel. As other people have commented, he switches up rhythm and doesn’t play the same thing twice. demonstrating a wide range of melodic choices. His feel on slide is crushing, and that open flat 2nd is haunting at the opening. And something else - because he’s tuned to an open minor chord, it sounds fresh and surprising. Basically a D-flat minor with the capo on. And that is very, very cool. With all the inversions created, and when he modulates to the major and back, it gets really really rich. This is just a perfect guitar solo. Rick Beado should be breaking this one down....

He doesn't play the same thing twice?

yes, indeed very real, heartfelt and spontaneous guitar playing. The kind of thing guitar players do in their heads but can't quite pull it off in reality as well as this. Shine on Mr Ariel we get your signal.
Shine on indeed!
The way he switches between slide and fingers in the same lick is crazy. I didn't know you could even do that.

I second that... amazing
Go listen to Sonny Landreth (no relation to the Bros Landreth). This guy's good but Sonny is in a category by himself.

He must have started playing with a slide day 1 of learning guitar, it's just a smooth metal finger to him at this point.
