    John Sykes was so underrated man,thank you for posting this night blazing solo 👍🎸🤘

    Probably the most accurate lesson out there. One small note that most miss, if you listen very carefully, John actually slows the final run ever so slightly so that he hits the final note (before the melodic bends) a little bit after the beat instead of right on it. Giving it a sexy flowing feel. Great job with this though, it’s a wild solo. If you’re not familiar with john’s playing outside of this, I highly recommend digging into it. Probably the top 5 best guitar players of all time, a great writer, and an amazing vocalist. Blue Murder was phenomenal

      Right?! So amazing.
      I never was a fan of Whitesnake (didn’t like Coverdale), but this song was standalone BADASS.

    In addition to this awesome solo, I have to say the riffage that leads into this is some of my favorite from this era. Epic track.

    Hi, I really appreciate your channel and the effort you put into each video to reproduce the original solos as accurately as possible (unlike many other RUclipsrs who often and willingly propose their more or less correct versions of the original solos). I imagine that you are also a fan of Uli John Roth (if you like Malmsteen, you can't help but like Uli Jon Roth) and I was wondering if one day or another you will make a video dedicated to his solo on All Night Long with the Scorpions

    • @chasingfrets
      @chasingfrets  6 месяцев назад +1

      Thanks very much for the kind words, I appreciate it. I'll keep your suggestion in mind, Uli is an icon both technical and melodic player who always plays with a sence of measure, cheers!

      Out of Love Again is a great ballad with great solo but the whole album is ultra classic. I wore it out in 89

    Sykes probably used alternate picking so he must have had a great technique to execute this run. Interesting.

    • @chasingfrets
      @chasingfrets  6 месяцев назад

      I'm not sure to tell you the truth, I've come across a few videos where the story is he uses economy picking but I'm not that familiar with his playing, but kick ass solo non the less

      @tedisakoolkat 5 месяцев назад

      @@chasingfretsJohn did both but for this solo it’s def alt picked. He’s not hitting every note perfectly, it’s more about the sheer power and speed behind it. But it comes together perfectly when I’m the full mix.
