Thanks for watching. Cheers
80s solos were the best. Sheer indulgence. 🎸
The bend at 0.20 is the single best bend I have ever heard, from any guitar player in my life!
Oh I absolutely agree!!
That bend still hits the spot
That bend rocked the soul...Still standing the test of time - music like these should be treasured forever and after 🙏... nothing like old skool 🤘
Came back for some more
i agree, Sykes is amazing and his wide vibrato is spine tingling stuff- always has a great sense of melody too- well done- thanks
Hey Mark, thanks for watching man. Yeah JS is a great one, I especially like his slower melodic playing, he has such great feel.
His tone on 1987 was %💯 . Still of the night !!!
May be the best one yet. You nailed every facet of the original solo, note bending and all.
One of my all time favourite guitar solos, to get that 'feel' too is breathtaking
Absolutely beautiful song that I used to listen to over and over and over again trying to figure it out by ear and here it is over 35 years later and I'm still jamming this beautiful old song... Had to give you a sub 👍
It's such a perfect solo with all the elements (Tone, feel, vibrato, personality, etc.) blending together so well. John Sykes is truly amazing and so are you. Great job.
Did Sykes do this solo? I always thought it was Bernie Marsden.
I thought it was steve vai
@@mrsnakepit Vai joined Whitesnake in 1989. How, dude...how could it have been Vai?
UNREAL...one of the best tones and feel sols ever! John Sykes so underrated. Where is your videos on HOW you master original studio tones?
Well played.. Great saturated Les Paul tone... Just like the original...
Oh it's better than the original!
Killer. You have to love John Sykes and his big LP solo's! Thanks man!
Nailed it! Syke's vibrato is one of the very best.
Thank you so much for this lesson! You really helped me finally get this one down. Fingers were worked out but really fun to play once you get used to the crazy bends!
You nailed it 100% , the tone imo is even better than on the original. Thanks a lot for sharing this lesson. Sykes is one of the most underrated guitarists. This song is just perfect and one of a kind. The solo especially should be given a monument.
This is just sick! I'm pretty sure Sykes can't do that. You found every single note and with perfect phrasing and tone. Identical to the original recording. I spend a lot of time doing this and you are hands down the best cover guitarist I've ever seen.
+Ralph Shicatano Thanks a lot Ralph!
+Dan Bridge Viv only toured with W.S., although he did overdub the solo on a single remix of Give Me All Your Love.
I agree Ralph...but to be fair Sykes was in another world on this album, he played like a madman genius on that album. He also made fuck you money lol.Never really had to work again. Great tutorial on how to play a really soul moving solo.
I think the 'bad boys' Tour shows that Sykes can play it (and sing the song) just fine. It's always the other guitarists, because sykes never played this with coverdale, who butcher this little masterpiece 'because they have to add their own flavor'. This tutorial however is awesome and gives this solo the respect iT deserves.
Clearly, you've never listened to much Sykes.
Finally an accurate lesson for this awesome solo! I`ve never been able to get the fast end part to sound just right. This will help a lot. Thanks!
Thanks bro, yeah that fast lick is a tough one to hear for sure.
Wow! I've been playing guitar for 40 years and I have to say that you have the chops and the tone! Keep on rocking my man. More importantly, thank you for sharing I've learned so much!!
I've been subscribed to your channel for months now and have been having a great time learning some of my favorites through your lessons. I just came across this one as this has been one of my favorite solos since I was in high school back in '87 when this album came out. Always wanted to learn it, and now thanks to you, I have! Thanks for doing this one. I don't think Sykes gets enough credit for his playing and writing with Whitesnake.
your tutorials are the best - to keep going just a bit backwards and put things into context. exactly how it needs to be done. also playing the solo at speed and slower at the start. really great technique. made me want a wine red LP too. ❤
This solo has that great "story telling" memorable quality to it
You got the right on tone here. very nice indeed. subbed.
Now that's what I call a fuckin' guitar solo! It makes the hair on my neck stand up!
I've watched this video 100's of times and that is superb. I wan't to be able to do that someday. Beautiful sound.
Mark S Thanks a lot Mark. It's a tricky solo for sure, mostly because it's got SO much feel and to me that's THE most essential element of playing guitar, more than speed or knowledge or anything really. If a guy doesn't have feel, you can tell right away. I'm ALWAYS working on that part of playing. John Sykes was/is a great player, I mean he was extremely fast, but it's the slower stuff that resonates with me the most. cheers
it's crazy how i thought about learning the end of this solo today, and you only just posted this video two days ago... must have been fate... thanks!
Hey rafael, haha funny how that works eh! Good luck with the solo bro.
I find myself wanting to watch all of your videos. I'm only about 20% but taking time to watch everyday. You are a phenomenal guitar teacher. Thanks for sharing
Holy WOW did you nail every note and the bends were PERFECT!!! THANK YOU!!!
Great work , I'm 61 years young you never stop learning .
Hey Jack, you're SO right bro! You can play guitar your entire life and still just be scratching the surface.
Really some of the best lessons on the net.
one of the best lessons i ve ever seen in youtube.. you re a such a great teacher as much as you re a guitar player bro !!!
MrWildHorse22 Wow! Thanks you so much for that! I really appreciate it. I'm glad you enjoyed the lesson. I really had a blast making this video. I've always really loved this solo and it was fun to finally work it out in detail. Thanks for watching. cheers
Great video, accurate translation and well explained... Simply perfect!
Nice job on the sound and method. The most accurate version out there. I agree this is one of his greatest solos. Quality of over quantity (of notes) is where it's at. you've captured his unique feel very well. Thanks for sharing. BTW as much as I liked Vai's take there's only one Sykes.
Kenyon Denning Hey Kenyon, thanks a lot for taking the time to leave such a nice comment bro. I always liked JS's melodic stuff more than the shred. Hopefully he'll put out some new music one day. Thanks for watching bud, cheers
Your playing is incredible man. Have so much respect for it
This is the best guitar lesson ive seen on RUclips, thanks man whoever or wherever you are. And ive Subscribed! And what a Player!
Excellent Lesson!!!! Your method is fantastic and I think we can learn very fast than we could imagine!!!!!
Great playing, great tone, great breakdown. Thanks a lot.
Daniel Lekardal Thanks Daniel. cheers
Great lesson,appreciate the attention to detail. I've seen many others on RUclips try and miss on this song,leaving out notes or adding ones not played by Sykes on this solo. Great playing,thanks for teaching me the correct way to play this solo.
The part @ 5.00 is simple but I sometimes miss that 4th note or just goto octave by habit as I learned this from ear of vinyl many moons ago. I must practice this more as it's deceptively difficult to perform truly convincingly as to give the perfect smooth flow and silky feel of the original track. Kudos for showing how it's done properly mate.
Spam'n'egg. Thanks bud.
Is this the best solo ever? It's one of them!
absolutely amazing performance of a perfect solo. bravo!
Perfect solo right down to the tone. Best I have seen on youtube. Your teaching style is very good as well. Always been a fan of Sykes as well. Thanx for posting. Cheers
Slim mage Thanks Slim.
John Sykes is the man.. beautiful solo has created.. 👍❤️
That's the best and most accurate I've heard on RUclips great job, it sounds just like the one on the album!
Thanks for the tutorial, so patient and thorough.
The best performance. Perfect cover!
Man you are the be a teacher. I learned to love my neck pick up tonight.
John Sykes is a genius, no need to mention this. One of the most beautiful solos ever written. And the way you sound and play it, full respect. I hope that one day, I will have the required technique blended with all the emotions to get this thing right. Thank you for this video!
I love RUclips. flicking through random videos and up you pop. Just an incredible player and great teacher too.
Fantastic lesson and explanation. Thank you!
My Lord that guitar is beautiful!!!
I agree he is underrated...Sick solo...You cover it extremely well...
Hey Brett, thanks for watching bro. Wonder if we'll see JS back in Whitesnake now that Doug Aldrich has left??
No doubt!!!
you ready for a concert?
sustain for days! love the lessons!
A good guitarist on RUclips !!! Excellent job !
This is totally awesome!! I am a big fan of all your tutorials.
Thanks Steve!
Pretty much note note, Tone was spot on, Thanks for posting!!
47Wolfgang Thanks for watching! cheers
Great playing and great lessons. Like your tone as well. Keep 'em comin' man.
From 6:39 to 7:26 was not detailed in this lesson. Have to keep rewinding and stopping to figure it out (no biggie). Just wanted to point that out. I checked other comments, someone else did mention it. Great lesson, I'm a huge Sykes fan so I'm learning this and Still of the Night on my new Les Paul Tradish.
Thanks for the lesson, really enjoyed it. Note for note one of Mr. Sykes best solos. Cheers mate !!!!!!

You rock!! This song brings back so many memories. I want to be able play it as well as you.
man how to recreate that sound using vst plugin on daw
Always wanted to learn this one. Great tips!
The best teacher!
Killer tone and superb interpretation
This was more Sykes than the man himself, this solo was so good Coverdale wants to fire you lol. Spot on tone feel and vibrato. INCREDIBLE
LOVE YOUR STUFF MAN! TRULY MOTIVATING KEEP UP THE TUTORIALS!
Cristobal Rocha Hey Cristobal, thanks for the great comment bro, good luck with your guitar playing.
Thank you for the lesson of my fav solo
thanks for posting I'm stuck on this solo .. a few tips are always good ,and your sound is on key ...
Thanks for the amazing lessons! You are a great player too! Keep rocking bro!
Great tutorial such a nice sound your getting
Awesome video man, I'd been struggling with the phrasing of the last bit for a while
Nice playing great lesson well done.
Thanks for watching bro.
Wow. I'm gonna add to the great playing and great tone comments.
Guitar Whores Thanks!
Really enjoying your videos. I found the Bo-Rhap solo video from Queen to be very informative, and this one likewise. Keep up the good work. Love your tone also, I have a collection of PRS that I use through a MESA MkIII, and with a PRS singlecut I can get a close approximation of Sykes' tone, but not as close as yours. Need to work on my tone... I'll check out some more of your vids soon. Kind regards.
It's an awesome cover and performance. You sound as Sykes.
Haha, thanks a lot bro. Hope it helps.
thanks for sharing. you are the best. i havent given up on this one.
Awesome lesson! Do have a lesson for the verse sections?
excellently taught.....
+Neil Groves Thanks a lot Neil.
Perfect solo cover!
Wow!!! RIGHT ON!!
mlg4035 Thanks!
Brilliant guitar playing and lesson thank you! Subscribed for more delights!
Beautifully played!!
You really nailed the tone. A detailed description of that would be cool. I've thought there must be chorus on it, but maybe it's just delay. Can you give delay settings for it? I know it was six years ago...
Unreal tone and feel
You did a great job on explaining how you had to break down the lead solo of this song ... Excellent player ... !!! If I could make one suggestion though ... the last lick just before all the harmony on end of lead ... It would be even better to slow down and or explain more in detail/depth the last lick ... Other than this, great guitar player ...
Ricky v Thanks for the nice comment bro. Good luck with the solo, it's one of my favorites.
superbly played
6:39 part is very tricky !
Thanks for the video.
Thanks for the lesson! It helped a lot!
Sykes is a savage. He’s as good as they come.
best timbre ever
Not unknown to me,used to watch him live in the early eighties when he was
Tygers of Pan Tang Lead guitar. Well ahead of the times back then.
Yeah it's really too bad that he's not putting anything out these days. Maybe one day though...
Awesome man... simply awesome!!!!
GREAT LESSON for real!!!!
What a help thank you so much and keep up the fab work ..Rockin Bob
Bob Phillips You're welcome Bob. Thanks for watching.
Oh my goodness, what a tone
I really struggle with the sustain on the notes that I'm holding. They seem to fade out far too quickly. Any tips guys?
This is the ideal technique to rock it all!! y muy recomendable este video para practicar dicha técnica ;)
Just beautiful, man.
