I was 13 when a guy came to my place with the "Left Hand Path" album by the swedish death metal band Entombed. the first song goes off and start with a solo. The guy say to me as the solo play "Listen! All Satanist bands play backwards so they have the solo at the start of the song".
Dude you choose the best solos. It seems like you and I have extremely similar tastes in music. Uli Jon Roth is awesome. I consider myself quite a metalhead, and I first heard this song years ago. Ever since I've basically considered it my favorite guitar solo of all time. This is probably the closest any one musician has come to playing the "perfect" rock/metal guitar solo.
Very nice! I had been trying to learn it with the fingering in different positions for a lot of the solo, but the way you play it makes it a lot easier. My speed and accuracy almost immediately increased significantly! Thank you!
Dude...my face is melting! Seriously though...my fingers are so blistered from practicing this song so much. I am just trying to commit the parts to muscle memory before I even try to get the groove. Incredible jam man...thanks!
Okay I've been listening & looking at your mug all week getting this solo down for no reason other than I love this solo since I was a teenager. I have played for 36 years & your the best teacher I EVER came across. Shit where do I send the check lol 😝
Back 4 years later for a refresher This solo is one of my favorites, but nobody knows what the hell it is. But OMG play some Journey or Bon Jovi and they go freaking crazy. 😝 But thanks again this lesson is the gift that keeps on giving
@@ozzman25 Yeah I remember going to see David Lee Roth opening for Poison and when Steve Vai had his solo everyone decided to head for the concession stands or bathrooms and when C.C. had his solo which was nothing but whammy bar dives the crowd went crazy. Fucktards!
Well done and thanks for mapping this out! Used to do this song in the later 70's, and now that I'm in my 60's you've helped me remember where to put all of it again!
I just recently found this song again I forgot how awesome it is and I love the old video of it they were all pretty skinny back then Thanks for posting :-)
Thank you. This Uli Roth solo was face melting when it came out in 1977. I hadn't heard anyone else play like this in rock. Al Dimeola somewhat, but that wasn't rock. Later in the 80s, up to today, techniques like they used, became quite common.
yep great stuff - legend - time to hook right in - now alls I got to do is get my band to love this as much as I do - you are the black belt of guitar bro - cheers from Mullumbimby
You've got that triplet phrase at the beginning spot on bro! It's the hammer ons and pull offs that lets it flow so well. I think. It took me a bit of time before I had to cave in and not try to pick every note. lol Nice playing and lesson.
Thank you for a great tutorial, you play it very precisely. I've learned all the notes, getting it up to speed may take some time :) I can't seem to make the leap in speed (and maybe never will) but will enjoy practicing!
Hey, Chris. I've been a both a fan and subscriber for about a year now. Thank you for having the patience that most of us do not have to sit down and pick apart these solos and for sharing your wealth of knowledge with us. I know it's helped me become a better player. I also know that you're bogged down with song requests, but if I could throw in my two cents, I'd love a Skin O' My Teeth lesson from Megadeth. Thanks again!
Very nice video Chris congratulations. I am working to learn this song. I am working to develop the right hand coordination (defining "down strokes references")
Thanks so much Chris, that's such a good lesson. One last thing though: the picture in the end is Scorpions with matthias Jabs. Doesn't sound really fair towards Uli Jon Roth ^^
You're an excellent teacher. I've also been watching your Painkiller solo breakdown. Man, I've got a lot of work to do. Sweeps are my bane at the moment.
You can do it it just takes some time, patience and practice, in fact i think a year or 2 of practice could be enough for most if they keep doing it constantly.
Hey Chris, I love your videos although I can't play most of the complicated solos you teach (Which are most of your vids) I enjoy watching them anyways, keep up the amazing work mate. Also do you live in Australia? if so, what state/city? If you don't mind me asking
Hey Chris! I've loved your videos for a long time, this is an awesome solo and i thank you so much for teaching the world! One amazing solo i´d really want you to do a tutorial of is longing for fire, another amazing solo from Uli. Cheers!
Thanks Chris! I have watched this video a hundred times to learn this song, awesome lesson! If you have a chance could you please teach A light in the black solo from Rainbow? Cheers
Fantastic Chris... learning to play this solo has always been on my bucket list... and you have deconstructed it perfectly... now to get my sh!t together...and do it 🤘🏼😝🎸
I am not one who quickly dismisses "Theory"Vs just raw Talent. But, I believe learning all the different parts of this tune unlocks the whole fretboard and is an excellent tune to teach to help those stuck in a ret! This song makes you move even if you do not wish to! However if you find yourself involuntary moving to this toon No Worries it's alright. It does com naturally to some but to others, you may feel a bit IN TRAPPED, don't be alarmed! This tune is way better than coffee in the morning before work!
I love your Schecter dude. I had a C1 Stealth Diamond Series almost identical to that one. Only difference I can see is I had a tribal inlay on the 12th fret. And thanks for your help btw. 🤘
Hey man! Your tutorials are great! Could you do the Rock Bottom Solo by UFO? I've learned so much watching your videos and wanted to play that solo for forever!
Hi Chris, thanks for another awesome lesson, no your busy with ur new album (can we hear some previews soon xD) but could u possibly do another black veil brides track, maybe goodbye agony when it comes out in a few days. Thank you Chris :D respect from colchester.
CHRIS ZOUPA, can you make a video showing a lot of ULI roth harmonic minor and phrygian dominant licks he uses a lot of arpeggios in his solo albums 78-83 can you show them?
Hey man, can you do a lesson for Viking Kong by Racer X, there are no lesson avaible for it on youtube! I am litteraly begging you! awesome vid by the way
Uli is so freaking cool. I wish I could afford one of those sky guitars. They aren't made by Dean anymore. Now they're made by his favorite luthier, privately, basically. At least I'm pretty sure that's how they're doing it. They range from like $10k all the way up to almost $40k. I'd say that's a rip off, but they're sort of like collectables. And they're really, really, very, very cool. 😎 🎸
I'm determined to learn this in 2019...came across your video just now. Armed with the guitar tab from songsterr.com and this, I might be able to do it!
I think it would be really cool if you did set the world on fire by symphony x. I haven't been able to find any tutorials on RUclips and really like the song. If you can't that's alright. I love your videos they are very helpful.
At the point in my life where I'm ready for it 🤙
im havin it!!!
I just made it here, the journey was long and hard
I'm so scared...don't know if I'll make it

I love how much Uli doesn't give a fuck, 'lets put the solo right at the start of the fucking song'
ya man, sounds like megadeth, do whatever, guitar first ......

I agree. The best solo's are from the 70's indeed! Page Roth Blackmor Van Halen can't beat them.
Rush Lavila strangiato live at pinkpop, the video intro shows alexs mashed finger, listen loud
@@DoHoeijmans good stuff came out of the 90’s too! I mean, just listen to the “Painkiller” Glenn Tipton solo by Judas Priest.
I could not agree more
Ahh shuddup
I just typed in "how to play, 'Sails of Charon'" not knowing what wold come up. I'm glad this guy popped up. Really good explanation !!
Yay! Standard Tuning!!
THE MAN HIMSELF! ALWAYS THAT I SEARCH FOR TABS OR LESSONS HE APPEARS, YOUR THE ONE!!!
Very nice! I had been trying to learn it with the fingering in different positions for a lot of the solo, but the way you play it makes it a lot easier. My speed and accuracy almost immediately increased significantly! Thank you!
Glad to help man!
You are a great teacher. Chilled and clear teaching style.
I've been playing for like 25 years man, and you are the best teacher for real lol.
Very kind mate. Thank you
One of the best lessons on how to play this challenging advanced shred classic.
Dude...my face is melting! Seriously though...my fingers are so blistered from practicing this song so much. I am just trying to commit the parts to muscle memory before I even try to get the groove. Incredible jam man...thanks!
This is THE Best guitar tutorial's ever! Thank you! I am really grateful.. I am in tune with you, can feel every step of the way..
Very kind dude. Thank you
Okay I've been listening & looking at your mug all week getting this solo down for no reason other than I love this solo since I was a teenager. I have played for 36 years & your the best teacher I EVER came across. Shit where do I send the check lol 😝
Email me at learnthatsolo@gmail.com i have the tab i made for this video if you need it bro

Back 4 years later for a refresher
This solo is one of my favorites, but nobody knows what the hell it is. But OMG play some Journey or Bon Jovi and they go freaking crazy. 😝
But thanks again this lesson is the gift that keeps on giving
@@ozzman25 Yeah I remember going to see David Lee Roth opening for Poison and when Steve Vai had his solo everyone decided to head for the concession stands or bathrooms and when C.C. had his solo which was nothing but whammy bar dives the crowd went crazy. Fucktards!
I'm finally ready to learn this song
Thank you for uploading this

Well done and thanks for mapping this out! Used to do this song in the later 70's, and now that I'm in my 60's you've helped me remember where to put all of it again!
In about 10 years time I’ll have this up to speed, thanks for the killer lesson as per always \m/

Not only are you awesome, so is your guitar! Thanks for the video AND the help with learning this great song!
Thank you Chris. I gave up on learning this long ago but will try again!
Excellent lesson Chris. One of the treasured guitar works.
You've got that triplet phrase at the beginning spot on bro! It's the hammer ons and pull offs that lets it flow so well. I think. It took me a bit of time before I had to cave in and not try to pick every note. lol Nice playing and lesson.

Dude, you are amazing. Thank you. I'm still dying over here though. Couldn't be a better tutorial.
Good job homeboy its really helpful. you are a good teacher
Thank you so much for this. I thought I'd never be able to learn how to play this.

Very nice video Chris congratulations. I am working to learn this song. I am working to develop the right hand coordination (defining "down strokes references")
This isn't only good for learning the song, but also for sharpening your skills as well
Thanks love soloing style from the 70's. Old stuff but very cool!
This Lesson is excellent, Chris!!!! Thanks again!!!!

Merci . je ne suis pas bon en anglais mais c’est tellement bien expliqué que je comprends tout ..merci 🙏🙏
Excellent as always Chris! Can we have Catch Your Train please? 😀
great lesson
I am not one who quickly dismisses "Theory"Vs just raw Talent. But, I believe learning all the different parts of this tune unlocks the whole fretboard and is an excellent tune to teach to help those stuck in a ret!

It does com naturally to some but to others, you may feel a bit IN TRAPPED, don't be alarmed! This tune is way better than coffee in the morning before work!
You're awesome dude. I like your attitude
Of all renditions of this song on RUclips, yours is the one that "feels" closest to the original by U. Roth. Very well done.
Excellent...Bravo!
Wow, good playing there!
Amazing playing!!! Thanks!
Very cool tutorial, thanks a lot.
I love your Schecter dude. I had a C1 Stealth Diamond Series almost identical to that one. Only difference I can see is I had a tribal inlay on the 12th fret.
And thanks for your help btw. 🤘
You should do an At the Gates solo tutorial especially with the coming of their new album.
My request is the Welcome Home solo by Coheed and Cambria - hell of a solo, been meaning to learn it for ages :)
Great lesson.
Hello! Chris, use your guitar lessons for time. Thank you from Spain.
Great work!
Hey Chris, can you do the solo in Agent Orange by Sodom? Thanks!
Dude you rock... thanks man.
Amazing job 🤘
Please make My Last Words solo tutorial by Megadeth. Also good job on this solo as always.
Very helpful. Thank you!
Thumbs up Chris!
Kiana Shotgun =)
at 10:50 ish i feel like its tabbed wrong. you seem to be playing 5 on the 3rd but it shows 7.
Hey man! Your tutorials are great! Could you do the Rock Bottom Solo by UFO? I've learned so much watching your videos and wanted to play that solo for forever!
Hey Chris thanks for this man its a good lesson vid ,I'm halfway there with this solo. Question what schecter are you using for this song?
