Man the sheer focus in his face, and every now and then he hits that flow and he knows it. Its literally an artist making magic, without even trying and the band was just like: pause. Do that again, if you can. And it gets done, and there ya have it
Wow dude you play it raw as hell! I think your are one of the few people on youtube who play it the same way as lukather: with the right timing between the notes and the aggressiv picking of the strings!
I was looking for the best cover of this song here on UA-cam, and with yours, I ended my search, what a crazy interpretation my brother

@@_D4vis thank you man, means a lot. I still tried to change few things on purpose, to make it more "mine" & unique, while still keep it true to the og. Appreciate it! 🙌
That sounds great man. Rarely do you hear people capture that wide vibrato so nicely!

Thank you! I always thought vibrato & bending are one of the most important things when it comes to conveying your emotions through playing, alongside dynamics & phrasing. Glad you liked it!
Petar Štrok Just watched your DIO solo & Beat it solo and safe to say you deserve way more views & Subs haha

Man, you really made me happy. Hope someday I'll get more, 'cause I really love music. Check some of my other videos, there's Dire Straits cover, vocal cover I did recently and a solo for one project I recorded... I have a demo of my own song too. Thank you so much for checking my stuff and enjoying it. It really does mean a lot. :) BTW. Your videos are great and probably help many people. :)
Thanks a lot haha It would be interesting to know where/how you figured out the other 2 guitar parts for the melody :)
8 років тому
I was just listening to the original recording until I figured out. haha I lear all the solos by ear and by looking how the original player plays them. But still I play them a lil bit different, 'cause I don't want my cover to be exactly the same as original. :)

@HeavyVanjia one day! decided to cover it one morning. learnt it after 2-3 hours of detailed listening and playing it! turned on cubase and my camera. laid down few takes. took one I liked the most, and then recorded harmonized solo parts :) hope you like it my friend! :D
@Alexander Holland I'm sorry bro. I never did any tabs. I just learn it by ear. And it's been a long time since I recorded this and when I play this song usually, I mostly improvise. Wish I could help you more...
Evo i nakon par mjeseci kaj sam otkrio ovaj cover, i dalje ga skoro svaki dan pogledam jednom... I onda pogledam jos 10 drugih i ne mogu naci ovako dobar...
dude: you FUCKIN ROCK !!!!! the BEST BEST BEST ever cover solo for the whole platform, not just the notes but the feeling and MEANING for your solo, totally keeps intact the original one!! AWESOME !!!!!!!!
3 роки тому+1
Thank you so much. It means a lot. I was trying to give my own spin on this solo, but the most important thing I wanted to capture was exactly that, the meaning and feeling of this solo. So you saying that truly means something to me. 🤜🤛
@ you truly nailed it!! "mecanically" anyone could play an instrument but to achieve the TRUE feeling and meaning of a song / solo, dude, that is reserved only for gods. CONGRATS !!! you did it!! I´m a guitar player too and I´m tellin you this with all my heart. thanks for taking the time to aswering.
Dude, you are intense !!! I mean this is the best possible way... you got the Fire of Gary Moore brewing with the technical prowess of Luke.. man, by far... and I mean really far, the absolute best cover of this solo. Its all Feel man, notes don't have to be exact but you got the feel and notes, and you owned this brother... its your own interpretation, unreal !
7 років тому
Thank you so much brother. I'm at loss for words. There's always something I aim for when I play and that's to tell a story through feeling/playing. That's one of the reasons I also adore improvisation! This solo though I wanted to do with certain respect but still in my own way without too much thinking. Again, thank you so much, means a lot to me!
you are so welcome, my playing style is very similar to yours, but use a lot of legato, still working on speed picking, but mainly because of my bluesy roots been able to fake my way through a lot. Totally inspiring man... I've watched a few of your other vids and they are all intense. Lots of people play the notes, or are technically perfect but lack the feel, you have it all. I would love to hear some of your improve stuff..... Thats what the Old School guys did, played off the top of their head, and even live they seldom played the song the same as their studio recording. My kudo's and admiration, I don't compliment too many guys nowadays... but man real, I can feel every damned note you played even the fast ones... dang man... I hope you're playing in a band, cos you are awesome man!
Right on man, I have checked it out. Makes me wanna quit, ha. You got a gift but I'm still gonna try to clean up that scalar shred run in the middle of Hold the Line. Ridiculous player, Lukather. You too. Keep it up brother.

Nah man, never give up. You can do anything you want if you try hard enough. Thank you so much man!
This is so awesome. You captured the original tone and sound and for the descending and ascending scale part you added more clarity than the original. Love it.

Really good cover there mate, I'm rehearsing for a recording and I just need a little more practice I know how awkward that solo is and you nailed it! Rock on! \m/

Dok razmišljam što reći, pitam se, kako li će ovaj čovjek tek za 10 godina rasturat kada već sada tako mlad toliko impresivno i kvaliteno "radi svoj posao" ;)
Petar Štrok Thanks man I bet you can rip the solo to All Along the Watchtower or Voodoo Child. I bet you could do Crosstown Traffic some real justice too.
Petar Štrok Hey brother I got a challenge for you. I have waited my entire adult life ( I’m 40) to hear someone do the solos to Living Colour’s Cult of Personality and Silverchair’s Tomorrow how it’s sounds on the CD’s. The actual guitar players can’t even come close to doing it live. I have looked all around and from what I can see they can’t do it. I guess it might just be so cleaned up in Pro Tools that it might not be possible. It could also be one of those thing like Hendrix never playing the same song twice but either way I would love to hear your versions. I bet you can do better than them though from what I have seen on your channel. Pease brother.
Maaaan. What the hell with that tone. Amazing.
thank you very much man! :D

Thank you!
AGREE
indeed
2022 still the best!
still is! February 2024
Old clip, but holy crap dude- you absolutely smoked that! Tone, phrasing, and viscous attack remind me of Gary Moore. Excellent!
Yeah, it is. But thank you brother! I'm glad you like it! 🙌
Ugh that vibrato gets me every time. It’s so well done and tasty. Aggression and passion have never mixed so well
