Great Guitar Solos // A Trip in the 70's (Original version WITH Stairway to Heaven!)
Музыка
I don't know why, but this video was blocked the last 4 years and now it isn't.
Consequently, I can share this original version of the video again!
NOT FOR SALE - TRIBUTE ONLY
This is my tribute to some of the great rock guitar solos from the 70's.
I played all guitars, bass, keyboards and I programmed the drums with a Native Instrument plugin.
All guitars and bass were recorded with the Kemper profiler.
Thank you for watching!

To the amateur it may go unnoticed but after being a player for thirty years and nowhere near as good as this guy, i noticed how he not only played these pieces but became the players themselves! He got everything so spot on from the vibratos to the pick attack, even knoflers finger picking! These are things that make good guitar players into great guitar players.

@Bitmapman Yea I saw that... Very nice. I was growing up with all of this on the radio, and then on my vinyl and cassettes. But this penetrated all consciousness and opened up a door to a place in my soul, a place called "Rock and roll?" I just remembered one great solo by TN... with Amboy Dukes. 60s though. Anyway, I have hope for the future if we have people like this. And like these kids: kzread.info/dash/bejne/mGmd26uChKrcg9o.html

I literally do not even have words. I'm just speechless. Sir you are such a phenomenal musician in your own right. But as someone else said in this comment section, you not only played things perfectly, but you really channeled each guitarist. All of that would have been amazing in itself, but your choice of songs, and then the way you transitioned from one song to the other., the modified ending to the hotel california solo so that it went right into Sultans of swing.... the video editing. Everything... just literally EVERYTHING was perfect and more than that. Everything touched my soul. I'm not kidding, I dang near cried during some of those solos. You have a gift my friend. I really hope your video blows up and goes viral because you so deserve it. What a fantastic job. Thank you so much for sharing this with us.

theultimatexperience Well its ok if your not big into pink floyd, but the solos in comfortably numb are awesome because of the amount of emotion david gilmour puts into each note, instead of playing 3000 notes per second. Oh and I would recommend listening to full albums instead of listening to single songs by pink floyd. A lot of there songs end up leading into other songs. Wish you were here and dark side of the moon are two albums I would listen to from start to finish.
Well I just got home and I’m up after 60 hours of night shift this week. playin guitar. Learning a couple songs. Waiting for my toddlers to wake up. Tired as hell. Sipping scotch. This has been the best part of my long day. Thanks for lovin’ good music pal.

Comfortably AWESOME!! A truly amazing and jaw dropping performance
This is amazing. Each solo could have easily been a separate video, because the tone was perfect for every song. But the way you transitioned between them all was just incredible - this channel has to go viral.
Stunned! Who are you?!! You've got the chops! You played 90% of the stuff I hope to learn someday. I just started playing two years ago, and I'm sixty nine. I'm giving myself twenty years, and hopefully I could play half as good as you by then! :-)

Great job young man! I can truthfully say that because I was between 14 and 22 when the songs were released. My formative years in many ways especially musically. You did a great job on some of my soundtrack of life. That Kemper is awesome too!

@@MCHiphopotamus If it was "sloppy" then that's how he wanted it to sound. He was the producer on all the albums. He was an ace studio musician before forming Led Zeppelin - if he had wanted it to to be precise, he could have done that (at least until post 1975, when the drugs began to weigh him down). But before that, could do whatever he wanted on guitar.
Fantastic that younger people are still recognising and keeping alive the genius of these Guitarists. The number of people who can CREATE another really original solo of the standard of these solos seems to be one in a million.
You're one of the few people who can truly put "Guitarist" behind their name and deserve it. Well done
Mark knopfler is my favorite because nobody compares to him. Gilmour solos are amazing too. Great video. Thanks!
Thank God I got to live every single one of them, and still listen to them, driving, at home, at work, wherever. Good ol' times when there was musicians doing some serious stuff. Long live rock'n'roll. Good job, mate.
Gabriel, you just took me on a 10 year journey in a little over 11 minutes. Great job brother!
@Gabriel - Thanks for the ride brother! I pray much joy, peace, health, and success for you!
Of course, at my age, I remember every one of those pieces. Most I learned back in the day. Maybe my ears are just getting old and wonky, but damn it all, you actually played each and every one better than how I remember them being played by the original artists -- better technique and certainly much better feeling. Just astoundingly wonderful. I know I'll probably get clobbered for saying that, but the fact is: it is true. You are an astonishingly superior guitarist. And thank you for making this video for all of us -- all of us who remember.
There are a few guitarists that can bring the instrument to life, and then, the rest of us standing in awe. Totally amazing talent !!!
You've captured every element of a perfectly chosen selection of great 70's solo's, from the technical, playing & reproduced sound aspects. Truly stunning, congrats. What I like the most though, is your obvious passion for the music, you clearly love what you do. Excellent work!!
So emotional.. So technically... Good work, braza! 🤘Salute from Vladivostok, Russia!
It was magic! As I already said.. I almost cry at most of them! Very nice and with the heart chosen. Thank you!
This guy is just sick! If any of these came on the radio, I'd never blink an eye thinking they weren't the originals.
What's most amazing is that you nailed a ton of intricacies in these solos. You weren't just playing the notes. You attacked them how the guys playing them did and that's simply astonishing. Mad props.
THANK YOU! I got emotionally carried away listening to this! Took me back to my teen age years!!
Awesome bending technique, perfectly in tune and super controlled vibrato. Miles ahead of most guys
That was very nice ! Mark Knofler is hard to play for many - if they try to play like he did - he played all his stuff with no pick at all ! Great job there. That Stairway to Heaven solo is one of the most incredible solos of all time ! Europa was awesome ! In 1980, when Led Zeppelin was on their last tour ever in Europe - Carlos Santana gave them a shout out right before he played "Europa" at his show ! Love that song.
Bends to die for, dead on timing and killer vibrato. Awesome talent.
You sir, are a master! Not only did you get it right technically, you put the heart and soul of every artist into each solo. Well done. I have subscribed and shared.
The transition to Europa was lovely. This whole video feels like watching the overture for your favorite musical
This was so nice to hear. It's like taking a trip back to my garage band days and hearing that guy, who just came around to listen to you play, pick up the guitar and blow everyone out of the water. Well done.
Man, you damn' freakin nailed each and every one of these masterpieces! And I know them all into the very last phrasing and bening. Wow!
Every note is hit with precision, that it would hard to distinguish from the real thing. Even knopfler's fingerpicking is on display. Great playing Dude!!!!!
Thats the best solos for almost 3 rocking decades :)
Had an eargasm 7:57 onwards! Thank you for making my day! You totally rocked it.
This is just amazing. You sir, totally nailed all our heroes spot on. Could listen to this forever. Must have had some nut sauce on that LP 😉
Your tones and phrasing are amazing! You gotta have great ears for that. Really enjoyed this one

Those are the best solo covers that I have ever seen in my entire life!! Dope!
Freakin' awesome. If I could have one wish, people say to be able to fly, be invisible, etc. Nope, I wish I could play a perfect guitar, kind of what you just did. Nicely done.
damn man, those tones were unreal! you absolutely killed it!
What a fantastic trip!!! Man you really hit my heart with the best solos ever played in perfect way! Nice job!!
This video was a journey to heaven. Nice performing all along the riffs.

This is really quite good. Knowing how to play at least a few of these solos, I know the kind of time required to not only learn them, but attain a reasonable level of proficiency playing them. Well done my friend! Don't know why this doesn't have more views...
