Uli Playing Michael Schenker Flaying V Guitar June 13/ 2013 Monterrey, Mexico
Venue "Escena" unforgetable show...
Uli playing Sails with Michael's guitar, this is really something else! The whole universe agrees..
That's not even Michael's guitar. Michael plays a Gibson Flying V. This one is a Dean Flying V
@@raiderfanlb LOL, Michael is endorsed by Dean since 2004, where have you been, under a rock?!
@@raiderfanlb his ex wife got the gibsons and the image rights.I’ve had one of these,a dean Michael schenker standard for around 11 years
@@lifeisnice23 yeah, I guess so, lol
@@petermontgomery8707 thx for the info
After a show in San Fran. I and 2 buddies hung out with Uli for hours after his show, he was nothing but the nicest true rock stars I have ever met, I have met ALL the greats.
@Lothar Lustig Not a paste and copy for you my son, only one word- "FOOL" Waste your time on someone who gives a shit about your soul, for when your dead you are dead. End of story.
What other stories do you have
Y voy yo y me lo creo
He can also play it with a ukelele and still make it sound out of this universe !!!
It was refreshing to watch Uli play a Flying V. It sounded more old school and more “muscular” than feminine (in words Uli might use) than his Sky Guitar. Not to mention it just looks bad ass! We know Uli can flow effortlessly with his Sky Guitar. Here, due to the V’s "limitations" he had to "fight" the instrument a little more to express himself. The fight added a little more Rock n’ Roll edge and “human” quality to the performance. One may have to know the breadth of his virtuosity and the sky guitar to embrace what I'm saying, because it doesn’t sound like he’s struggling at all and in fact flowing effortlessly.
2:00 He makes this utterly astounding riff look like it's easy! Amazing.
You don't find raw, talented, old school, electric gods like this nowadays
GOD, HE IS STILL AWESOME!!!
I saw Uli open for Michael in California around 2005 for the 25th anniversary. I had only heard of Uli’s name before, never heard his music. Man he did not disappoint!! What an amazing guitarist. It was a pleasant surprise since I went there to see Michael.
So cool seeing Uli play the Schenker Flying V.
WOW!! This proves the sound is all in the hands. Uli is just incredible ty for this video
Wow even to see Uli Roth just in a T;Shirt and he still radiates total Coolness. i never understood the 5 foot guitar cord though ,anybody know, is that his secret . guy could make a boatpaddle sound like a Strativarius, gifted but so Humble , a very cool gentleman!!!
Uli shreds on every vessel!
Uli You are the Golden Eagle , guardian of the Scorps, guardian of Hendrix last girlfriend and guardian of Black Beauty; the sacred guitar of Hendrix
One legend playing another legend's guitar, that's awesome. Think about the players Scorpions have had Roth, Schenker, and Matthias Jabs is a badass himself, glad I got to see Roth. He was on my short list of players to still see, still on the list Blackmore, the GREAT Frank Marino, Steve Morse, Vinnie Moore and a few others.
Unfortunately Frank Marino announced his retirement from music back in June due to an undisclosed medical condition. The rest of the guys you mentioned are still active to the best of my knowledge. Hopefully Frank makes a comeback some day.
@@SuperStrik9 Saw Marino about 10 years ago and was disappointed. He was a shadow of what he was in Mahogany Rush.
@@alwaysopen7970 That sucks. I hate seeing great players and singers become shadows of themselves.
Great list. I've seen Michael Schenker (MSG), Vinnie Moore (UFO) and Steve Morse (opening for Rush in '86...loved "The Introduction").
Actually the DVD he made. Marino. A 6 hour show was last time he played a show. And I’d say it’s amazing myself! I first saw Frank in 1975. Then the live Mahogany Rush black cover record tour. I saw The Tales of the unexpected also. That was at the biggest place I’d seen him. Philadelphia Spectrum. The Juggernaut tour was at TLA smaller venue. Anyway Frank toned down for part of the DVD. He uses an SG with Single coils. It’s pretty cool actually. At the end he used his old setup. Pedalboard for bombs an stuff. Electric reflections of was. It’s a really great DVD. He is definitely still amazing on it. Anyway love the list of players you are into. It’s ve been real lucky in seeing the musicians I love. All except Hendrix. Anyway. The DVD. If you play guitar I think you’ll love it. He does songs from his first lp on. Godbless! Hope you see everyone else you can. Seein Schenker for the 5th time tonight. An tell you the truth. Watching the 2022 stuff I’ve seen. He kinda slowed down. First saw him in 76. Tower theater. Then again for The No Heavy Petting tour. Saw the first MSG tour. Then saw him at TLA. Smaller venue in Philly with Uli Tonight it’s a few over 1000 people. Sad that Rock is played at such a small venue. I love the sound. But it’s sad that pop an rap are in arena. Friday Steve Vai is there. Times have changed. I remember when he was in Whitesnake. At the Spectrum. I couldn’t get a ticket anywhere. Yes. Times change. Long live Guitar Rock. Godbless!!!
FLYING V GUITAR , Uli is always Awesome , thnx for sharing !
The Master of guitar right there !
Awesome line up. Singer can sing. Everyone is tearing it up.
I love the singer!
OMG! I'VE HAILED THIS DUDE since I was a Freshman in High School when I was at my first "Big boy" party and I heard this tune!
A real panty dropper of a song here
Legend Uli can play anything with any axe he wants, god mode always on
A TRUE LIVING MASTER OF THE DIATONIC SCALE,which came from the Star's,The Heavens,literally..Thank You Uli,and all who appreciate the art form and contribute music,footage,videos,and comments friends.And anybody young getting into what is still referred to generally as "Heavy Metal",because that IS WHAT WAS BACK THEN,your looking at a living breathing pioneer here.peace!
That V seemed to unleash something in his playing. It sounds more fiery and flowing. He should keep playing it.
I thought the same thing!
Could be as simple as Michael having considerably lower action - Uli has always stated his is high, and Michael is just the opposite.....and I am hearing quite a lot more gain there, Uli always seem to lean towards cleaner tones (at least initially) on his Sky guitars. Either way, they're both great :)
In my opinion it's the fact that since the V is missing a tremolo bar Uli is obliged to focus more on phrasing. Not that he is not paying attention to the notes he picks anyway, quite the opposite, he is one of the most care takers on notes guitar player on earth. In any case this is one more proof of how great he is. Out of his comfort zone (cause the V's shape requires a different body approach than Uli's guitars) but still nailing it. Exceptional player and person.
@@OrestisTrips Possibly also a factor - and the short scale length, different fret wire...
He's a wizard, plain and simple.
@@MercutioUK2006 Absolutely one more factor is the shorter scale. We can see Uli doing this high bend trying to approach the notes he has in mind that this guitar lacks fret wise. One of the true masters.
Reminds me of when I saw Uli sit in with MSG to do Rock Bottom back in the mid aughts. Some sick shit.
Whoa! One of my favorite guitarists playing the guitar belonging to my favorite guitarist! And that’s Wayne Findlay on his right our left on the keyboards/rhythm guitar
totally agree !!!
I saw them also live in 2013 it was a really good year for Uli he had a good lineup
Uli is on fire here!
A wonderful player, a magical song!!!
Ulis play looks so smooth
When I was in a band in my teens, playing a lot Scorps and UFO stuff, the guitarists kept saying it was Michael Schenker who played that solo on the album (that it sounded like him more than Roth). So it's funny to see the Schenker Flying V in Uli's hands, like an inside joke.
this is definitely a Roth solo, Michael is much more western classical in his playing, here we can hear arabo andaluz flamenco influences and Uli's first musical love.
As good as Schenker is, I don't think he could play this as well as Roth, who is definitely a more technical player, slthough I prefer Schenker overall.
@@scottdwhite50 In a sense you are correct. But I can't imagine Uli playing "Captain Nemo" and the stuff off Dreams and Expressions either. Michael doesn't have the refined arpeggio techniques of Uli...then again, Michael is physically more explosive on the fretboard (see "Reasons Love", "I'm A Loser", "Save Yourself").
@@scottdwhite50 I agree. But it`s not really fair to compare them because they have totally different mindsets, or you could also say philosophies. Schenker always wanted to develop his playing and go to his limits. He saw the guitar as a tool to express himself and providing him with the freedom to do so in getting the music out of his system. But Schenker as a writer always thought in songs and song structures. Schenker himself put it that way: "My brother always wanted to become one of the most successful guitarists; I always wanted to become one of the best." Roth never thought this way. He wasn`t interessted in success, in fact he left the Scorpions, and he wasn`t interessted in any form of competition neither. He was interessted in what one can do with an electric guitar. He didn`t want to improve his playing on the guitar in first place, but the instrument itself. And what you can do with it. Thus he didn`t felt spiritually freed by the guitar as Schenker did, but limited. So Michael does play a standart V with standard 22 frets in standard tuning. Uli plays a 7 (sometimes 8) string custom made guitar with 35 to 37 frets in all kinds of different tunings. The point I want to make is the following one: Michael isn`t capable of playing what Uli does, because he is a lesser player, but because he plays a lesser guitar. On the other hand Michael does not need a 6 octave guitar because he is a rock player and doesn`t want to play Vivaldi on it. Roth on the other hand always thinks beyond the limits of rock music in general and the standard rock guitar in particular. Before Roth ran into his first electric guitar he was a classical player (trumpet + piano), thus in contrast to Michael he can read and write music. So Uli does not only play, but also write classical music (4 Symphonies and 2 Concerti so far).
Schenker and Roth that's nice.
I love playing this song on my drums....so much energy
Absolutely Awesome. I've seen Uli on tour with Michael before as well. Uli came out on stage and did Rock Bottom with Michael. For old Scorpions and UFO fans, it doesn't get much cooler. Back when I was in high school 43 years ago, I used to only dream of being able to see something like this.
One of the masters. He does whatever he wants on the guitar.
Nice to see Uli on a 6 string again!
Dude just came out and owned it.
Met Uli in Stuttgart (100 yrs ago) - he CAN play ! He was 100% normal and talkative - great show at the ‚LKA‘-venue !
Have to check-out what he‘s doin‘ those days….👍🏼
Uff si hubiese sabido esto me lanzo a Monterrey Uli es lo máximo soy un fan de años
This is like something from a crossed universe.
WOW!!!!.... That's something you don't see every day!!!!!
Mike's Flying V makes Uli sound better than his own 'Sky Guitar!
Still a phenom!
Singer nailed it. Cheers :D
Imagine Uli in UFO
It d be the perfect UFO again. I love schenker and Chapman but Uli Jon Roth s certainly a guy who can fill those shows royally damn good
On the other hand I still find his playing on Tokio Tapes more passionate and vibrant than on his new renditions.
This is like a little miracle you don't see every day, Uli seems inspired maybe just by playing a more simple/straightforward instrument
It's the power of the Michael Schenker's signature Dean Flying V! There's always been a huge cosmic connection between Michael and Uli.
I was thinking that too
Uli, Really really really nice tone with this guitar
Uli jon roth.. From another world..
SICK!!!! 💪🤘
The singer is fantastic! Amazing range and great sound. So weird to see Uli with a V. Doesn't fit his style at all, but hey, still sounds great!
Piense y vean los principios de estudiar futuros 🎸 con ULI un ejemplo maestría universal👏👏
Uli's playing is so perfect the only thing that is missing on this song is klaus'Voice
Goddam.. amazing
ウリがマイケルモデルを使いこなすなんて素晴らしい！！
True Master!
WOW!
Look at that vibrato!
i aspire to have that kind of heavy vibrato goddamn 🔥🔥
Oh....just HELL yeah!!!
This opening lead is the one I throw at any great guitarist just to see if they can play it. If they even know the tune, the answer's always been "no". Even at an age where most guys are past their prime, Uli makes the toughest leads I know of look easy. Huge Kudos to the fastest fingers on the planet!
Especially if you consider that Uli usually plays very high actions on a deeply scalloped fretboard. That means that he willingly sacrifices speed for tone and resonance.
Endlich hat er wieder einen tollen Tone! Behalte die Flying V.
Heck yeah!
he's playin in C with guitars tuned 1 st lower, hats off
Amazed
They just don't play like that anymore. What a legend.
I thought i couldn't get much harder.
But ULI on a Flying V!!!!!!!!!!
Playing the v his tone sounds closer to his scorpion days
This is nuts
Damn.. Grandpa can shred
Uli Schenker
😊
Engraçado o Uli tocando essa guitarra kkk
Fuck yeah !!
Holy cow! Uli with Michael's guitar, AND, dressed in jeans and a short-sleeved shirt! No hippie regalia! He must've felt like blending in that day. That is until he started playing. LOL!
This is not Michael's guitar. Michael plays a Gibson Flying V. This one is a Dean brand
@@raiderfanlb It's still Uli playing a Flying V instead of a Strat or his Sky guitar. You never see that. That's good enough for me!
@@raiderfanlb Also, the strings are not snipped and they're hanging wildly off the tuning pegs, which is total Michael. If anything, Mike strung this guitar. LOLOL!
@@raiderfanlb Michael has been sponsored by Dean since 2004, and they even made a Michael Schenker model guitar
@@raiderfanlb Michael has not played a Gibson flying v for 15 years you goofball.
Uli John Roth, one of the original shredders
I wish he still used a Strat. At least now an then. Look at him. So inventive. He was always amazing
🤘🏼❤️
as great as this is..... i love him on the yellow strat playing this.....
I think it might be a gift from Michael Schenker. I think they be friends...
I love em both...
They know each other since they were 15, they're similar artists , godly talented with their own vision of music, pure self expression not money making machine.
What a Fuckin’ beast
仙人が神ギターを弾いてる！😆
He sounds better with humbuckers as compared to the strat he used when he first played this song.
Oh c'mon ;)
Not even close you goof.
Nope!!
it just occrs to me that "Sails of Charon" is a 70's metal version of Ellington's "Caravan"
yeaaHhh
If you know the tune, you'll notice he is also playing it a half step up than the original key. Not sure why.
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 that’s the only time it’s ok to clap
Gods
wow, Uli John Roth can really bring it!
He was doing this song while Yngvie was just a puppy.
Yngwie was around 14 when this song was released, and his playing was already great, here is his demo from 1978 ua-cam.com/video/BcubP_UNQhA/v-deo.html
No mames que estuvo en México, ah kiero morir valeberga
"He should play this guitar and not this one" How about he plays what ever guitar he wants and you mind your business?
Does the V have a whammy bar? Uli usually uses a bar. He can clearly play anything to perfection.
A master at work, always sounds like...this. Note the clean sound. Even with shitty festival sound. See "Floor Jansen." 10/10. BTW, I'm in the USA, I don't know this song, but I dig this groove. I have some songs on my channel, not too much, my channel turns a year old this month! But there is some music and other things. Check it out, if you like. Please leave a comment! Thanks.
IRONIC that he'd use this V huh?
Probably on purpose.
Is he playing Stargazer in the middle?
Why have 2 Marshall heads stacked and only 1 turned on ? , spare head incase the one being used craps it ?
Yes, I think it's for backup .
I recently read where someone had a wall of Marshall's, but they were just for show, The actual amp.& Cabs being used were hidden out of sight ,i just can't remember who the artist was, some rock or metal player
Michael's day off?
I prefer when Uli plays without the hammy bar.
Careful Michael Schenker will say your stealing his Image and claim he wrote all your songs now.
This comment is too funny 🤣🤣🤣
funny, but michael never claimed any songs that he didnt write.
Touche! 😆
Perhaps finest ProtoRock song ever, just not this version.
I love Michael but Uli is THE BEST!!
Not a Flying V ( Gibson) its a Dean. Am I ok folks?
just looking at people when playing and traveling his entire hand on the guitar you can't even see where -_- you know he's a virtuose.
