Mateus, você é um guitarrista excepcional. Que fraseado incrível!!!! A propósito, eu estava lá na platéia em São Paulo quando Nuno bettencourt te chamou para participar junto a ele em Get the funk out!!!! Aquilo foi memorável! Obrigado por isso!
Absolutely loved that! The octave and 6ths runs were amazing, the relaxing closure with those tapped harmonics too! So simple, no fast or scale runs, just the beauty of the melody
Had the exact same feeling! Was so impressed with everyone thinking nothing can top that and then she came on and all of a sudden I had tears in my eyes. Just something about the gentleness and feel, went straight to the heart
I've never seen her before, but as soon as I saw her solo I realized that she had a classical background. That left hand technique, chord positions and shapes and those artifical harmonics. It's so rare to see a classical musician attempt to improvise, but it makes her solo very unique and beautiful. I loved it...
Absolutely agree. Asato's was really flawless. Julia with so much feeling. Third for me is Josh Smith - just because he surprised me. Thought he'd never could pull this off, but he did a really good job.
@@osmium7738I usually see if Carl Brown (guitarlessons365) has one first but Marty is definitely one of my go-tos. I like his humor and laid back approach; just a genuine joy for music. I’m definitely grateful to anyone fulfilling that much needed space. These guys inspired me to work on my own ear training.
How is nobody talking about Josh´s solo? It hit straight to the hearth. So much emotion. It felt the most musical and fitting for a solo because it's memorable. He created a hook, which makes it feel like something part of a bigger picture.
All such fantastic solos but, .......... Julia's solo actually made my eyes begin to well up and a lump moved from my heart to my throat. So sweet it was.
Absolutely perfect. And so organic sounding. I think his plan of walking around with the track in his ears is a very good one. Just let it seep in to the unconscious, and then leave the ego aside and play what comes naturally.
Agreed. His was top, the next was great, and then the rest kind of trailed off for me. They were good, but we were spoiled with the first couple. The standout on the back-end was Julia's. So smooth and clean and melodic.
Julia was my favourite. I felt the backing track wasn't the type to play fancy riffs. She added a beautiful soft touch without the guitar being driven hard. I wish I could play like her. That was amazing
Man, everyone’s solos were so good. Each player had their own unique style. In my opinion each of their solos displayed exactly why they’re famous on TH-cam. Thank you so much for this video.
I was like: "Ross's solo is the clear winner here" Then Mateus popped up on the screen. Wow. Just wow. Incredible touch and feel, the emotional highs some of those bends and phrases reach are phenomenal. 10/10
My top three favs were Paul, Mateus, and Kfir. Paul's was just great, Mateus was awesome, and kind of sounded like hendrix, and Kfir was probably the best. That bend was insane, the tone was spot on, and the delay was amazing. I also have to mention the tremolo picking.
Rabea makes me feel driven to want to improve my playing like no one since Satriani when I was much younger. Bea pulls so much feeling out of his slower/ambient playing, it’s ridiculous. 💛👍
@@tomm5023 Ross' solo was beautiful (just relistened) and I thought his process was interesting, too. Very intelligent, and methodical. I must maintain my original opinion, however. I don't believe MA overplayed. He's the man!
@@andremartin4795 DUUUDE SAME HERE. I thought I was being biased with how I see the solos. I still probably am a little bit, but Mateus' solo is different.
As someone who has never liked watching Marty Swartz's videos, because he usually only teaches the beginnings and basics of songs, his solo might have been my favorite. It was basic, but not simple, using scales that most beginners can play. But more than that, his timing was excellent. I think the others were trying too hard to play at the edge of their ability, to give you something you and your viewers would find impressive, while Marty tried to make and play something that sounds good. That makes a big difference. Marty spoke through his guitar, while the others made their guitar speak.
No one's talking about Rabea's solo. OMG it was absolutely beautiful. I can see people just like distortion and fast playing. This man Rabea absolutely crushed me with his solo.
Bea always finds the right notes to play somehow. His tone is excellent, and the way he works towards/around the target notes is creative and not in a way you hear often.
@@officialWWMsome people look for feel and others for technique… He was the only one who consistently left breathing room between phrases. Something guitarists (including me) can have a hard time with is pacing ourselves. It’s rarely talked about but there’s a lot to be said for restraint. Gotta respect his willingness to hold back
Marty sounded like the perfect session player. best approach not trying to show off. making the track shine not overtaking the natural melody that one might hear the chords progress
Paul, what a terrific series you have built here. Thank you for sharing your talents, as well as the incredible collection of musicians you’ve assembled!
Her solo felt the most like there was a full song with lyrics and singing that went with this track. It’s the one I could imagine being on actual song track. I would say Josh’s second.
What was nearned from this video is the infinite joy of music , here the artist has created , no boundarys , totally an open expression, this video brought me to tears, as I found the infinite expression of music, my eyes and ears are opened more than they ever have been, you have struck a big chord
I got to give it to Ross Campbell on this one. He showed the full range of dexterity and creativity while still making it dance within the track. Those volume swelled bends hit you right in the feels. At least they do for me. The A major lick was also my favorite of the bunch. Also loved the jazz licks on Jens Larsen's track. The warm tone just worked well with them.
Watched it over and over again. Everyone gave their best. Ultimately, Ross and Julia really gave me the vibes. This is what the track actually wanted, for me, I believe.
Being Brazilian, it would be easy to say Mateus was my favorite, but honestly, there's no favorite. All of them played incredibly good solos that could be in eternal hits. ❤
Oh wow, Julia. If notes were made of gentle raindrops filled with love, that's how her solo sounded like. I loved every single one of the guitarists! Subscribed to all of them!
Josh has so much conviction in his playing and not one note passed without an obvious intent to play it. I was absolutely stunned. Mateus made my jaw drop as well, freaking genius. But really hat's off to all the great guitarists, Ross, Paul, Marty, all of them.
Jens is such a tasty player!! Hearing him play outside his regular jazz progressions it’s really interesting and makes me think a lot about my own phrasing!
Julia Lange! Playing was absolutely class, Really great tone and alot of unexpected notes. Absolutely loved all of them but her ability to let the velocity of the certain Notes she wants to emphasise and that ending was amazing. Great Video Paul!
I can't watch too much of these, the play over on your melody is too much for the emotions, a grown man shouldn't shed tears so easily, what a demonstration of the beauty inside each musician, so different so equal. A brilliant video. Thank you.❤
Martin has an awesome feel for rhythm and harmony, and he kicks out some awesome phrases here, but I always feel like his solos would sound better if they had half the number of notes. 😁
@@CrisCraig Have to agree. Then again, Miller's style is not very expressive in terms of micro tones, bendings, and hand approach. His vibrato is ok but run of the mill and the way he fills the 3 and 4 beats of the chords is kind of predictable. Still, a great player.
I could watch Mateus play all day, absolutely beautiful, mind blowing, effortless but yet so unique , you could hear it with no video and know it’s him. Such a talent ❤
Rabea never disappoints...Joey's in a class by himself! Martin would totally make Brian May proud, Paul's solo shows just how far he's come as a world class guitarist in the past years! Jens is a freakin' riot!! "And I'm not even playing that amp!" Classic!! Josh's tone is magical! Then Ross comes up with an equally glorious tone! TASTY!!! Julia - beautiful as always! Marty nailed Mr. George Harrison's tone and phrasing. Totally retro. Mateus! What a blessing that dude is!! Kfir - who couldn't play with that sound for hours?? This was another great collaboration, Paul!! Inspirational!
I love Jens’s understanding for form and musical structure. While all others clearly articulated part A and B (B=when the song slows down) Jens made something I would call a “lead-in”. In classical music there is a similar idea to connect antecedent with the consequent. The ending Motiv of the antecedent in measure 5 is the beginning Motiv of the consequent. It’s called elision. Also I wanna mention Paul’s feeling for short repeating cool sequences, a pleasure to listen to. And Julia’s smooth alternating fingerpicking was great to observe. It was a great idea to make a collaboration like this Paul. With all these great guitarists and their different approach gives us an insight to analytical thinking. Great job, keep on going.
You can absolutely hear that every single one of them poured their hart and soul into this backing track, you heard no competition just pure love for music!!! Well done guys!!
As far as just playing straight for the heart and gut, I say Josh Smith, hands down. For the “I should just put down my guitar”, jaw dropping moment, that goes to Mateus, NO DOUBT. All of these guys (and gal) are absolutely monsters and there wasn’t a dud in that whole bunch. Great video, Paul!!
Bea never disappoints.. just such a versatile player and has amazing sense of feel and dynamics to serve the music and the song overall. Amazing from all
I simply cannot pick a favorite!! So many different takes here and yet all so beautifully done. Just phenomenal playing from everybody and a great backing track to mess around with also ! Edit: reading the comments and seeing all the different reasons that people have a certain favorite is exactly why music is the best! We all hear things the same..but yet differently at the same time
Love how you have Josh and Ross back to back - Josh who took 2 takes and completely improved, and Ross who put in a ton of effort to compose something beautiful
Every single one was phenomenal! I have to say, Josh, Rabea, Ross, and Mateus hit me hard with the phrasing, the musicality, the variety, and the tone.
The way Julia used octaves was so cool, it gave a three dimensional feel to the solo, hard to explain differently ^__^ Everyone was super good; at times, in some, I was like "hey maybe it's too many notes" and then Mateus comes in and makes that idea dissolve in its absurdity. Great video!
I loved all the solos, but for some reason Rabea's solo really hit home. Not too many notes, used silence to the benefit of the solo and you can even sing along to it. Tasty 100%!
Superb work from everybody. Julia invented and played something I have never heared or witnessed. Like tango lines, with absolute grace of phrasing and melodic ideas.
thank you for having me on this - alongside these exceptional players, brother! much love! 22:50 ◡̈
Thanks for blessing us with your solo 😪 haha Cheers!
Mateus never ever disappoints
I was wondering whether you were using plugins or real amps in your channel as well! Thanks for the info!

mateus 😌
Paul, it's an honour to have been featured in a video with all of these absolute KILLERS! Thank you for having me on the track.
You KILLED it brother! Taking some notes here ;-)
Loved your solo, mate!!
@@dkijc Thank you!
Great stuff Lad! 👏
Dude! You're impressive! Those volume swelling using a bolt-on guitar?! That's some great sustain on that strat!
I really appreciate you having me on this Paul! In such epic company! Thank you! 🙏❤️
Really held your own, lovely playing
Fantastic work, Rabea. Love the way you didn't steal the show but accentuated what matters most - the structure of the music.
Some great dynamics, melody and tone in your solo Bea. I'll try to steal some of it. :-) Thank you!
You nailed it mate!!
Awesome playing as always, Rabea! Love your style and tone!
I dont know what it is, but Julia's solo got me in the feels man...Something about the simplicity and the tone of it. Got me tearing up here.
Absolutely loved that! The octave and 6ths runs were amazing, the relaxing closure with those tapped harmonics too! So simple, no fast or scale runs, just the beauty of the melody
Had the exact same feeling! Was so impressed with everyone thinking nothing can top that and then she came on and all of a sudden I had tears in my eyes. Just something about the gentleness and feel, went straight to the heart
@@andrefig822 that was mind blowing. Sounded like two guitarists playing. Incredible stuff
Yeah, Julia's was the best. And that's saying something, a couple of incredible ones here, but that one was just way beyond. Trying not to cry
I've never seen her before, but as soon as I saw her solo I realized that she had a classical background. That left hand technique, chord positions and shapes and those artifical harmonics. It's so rare to see a classical musician attempt to improvise, but it makes her solo very unique and beautiful. I loved it...
Can't believe I'm part of this 💛Thanks to all and thanks again for having me Paul 🙏 truly an honor to be among all those legends 🙏🙏🙏
Loved your solo Julia, it's my honor having you :)
Julia - huge fan - please keep pushing the envelope for us mere mortals!
Your take was so good, definitely one of my favorites here!
Great Job!
LOVED your solo! Also, very interesting to hear that you sang over the progression to come up with ideas. Fan!
Pleasure to be amongst some of my absolute faves. Thanks for having me, Paul! ❤
Thank you fretboard wizard, amazing solo... still catching my breath 😅
Very much enjoyed your solo!!! Such a wizardry
I’d give the 🏆 to you and maybe Josh as runner up.
Martin, amazing piece!!
Wow, amazing solo. Thank you!
Thanks so much Paul for having me. Everyone sounds so Ruling!
Josh you killed it man as usual 🙏
The attitude you put into each note is amazing. Awesome solo. Hope you come to Denmark one day.
Damn that was amazing
All fantastic, but you ruled this one Josh! 🎸🔥👊😎
Those first two notes set the scene for a beautiful story 🔥 ❤
Rabea’s Solo is the Studio Recording
Martin’s Solo is the Live Recording
Mateus’s Solo is the Live Recording 25 years later at the reunion concert.
real
On spot!
So proud to take part in this INCREDIBLE lineup! Thanks Paul!
Fantastic solo man.
Thanks for being here! You crushed it my friend!
Loved yours, sir. Fan!
I honestly loved your take the most, It felt so unique and alive
Your solo was absolutely awesome! What tone!
Jaw absolutely dropped during Mateus’ solo 😮 great job to all!!
Yeah he's Great
Couldn't agree more. That was at a level that I know I will never attain, and that's okay. I feel privileged to get to witness it.
Right!? Sheesh 😅
Nah, just note vomiting. Was a show-off
Sometime around we should have a subscriber collection i think it would be awsome
Mateus solo, wow. Really the hands of a virtuoso, so effortless. And Julia, so sweet and dreamy, loved it.
Absolutely agree. Asato's was really flawless. Julia with so much feeling. Third for me is Josh Smith - just because he surprised me. Thought he'd never could pull this off, but he did a really good job.
My thoughts exactly
My choice, exactly the same, exactly for the same reason! 🙂
Have you heard Drown - Polyphia? Fts Mateus Asato, so great, amazing player.
listen to the beautiful power of Hindu's God tune on Guitar on #Mekinamguitarist
Julia has something very special.. those melodic double stops gave goosebumps . And the note she landed on at the end 😆!! i feel like she just gets me
also the parallel ascending low melody / high melody. was very unique I am going to copy that for sure
You know sound
We all have learned a song or two from Marty, what a legend
Not if I can avoid it, lmao, I always found him a little annoying. He's doing god's work though, so a legend to be sure.
@@osmium7738I usually see if Carl Brown (guitarlessons365) has one first but Marty is definitely one of my go-tos. I like his humor and laid back approach; just a genuine joy for music.

True that.

The "hearth" is hotter than the heart! Josh killed it.
And it was the only solo with balls. He hits it like a real Frederick Zoller
Superb!
Spot on❤
Josh Smith is the greatest blues player on this blessed earth !
Thank you for letting me be a part of the video. hope I didn't ruin anything! 😁
It was an honor having you on Jens!
LOL!!! Trying to fit the Ibanez into the bin - and the face you were making!!! That was brilliant!! Your playing was so smooth man!! Much respect!! ♥
@@Sammywhat Thank you 🙂
Your solo was brilliant! Loved it
Amazing solo, Jens! Thanks for the music.
All such fantastic solos but, .......... Julia's solo actually made my eyes begin to well up and a lump moved from my heart to my throat. So sweet it was.
Mateus’ solo was absolutely nuts. Just about the best bends and vibrato I’ve ever heard
Really? I found that really comical 😢
Ross' solo was insane..... definitely the one that made me most emotional, amazing!!
Absolutely perfect. And so organic sounding. I think his plan of walking around with the track in his ears is a very good one. Just let it seep in to the unconscious, and then leave the ego aside and play what comes naturally.
All so so awesome but Ross my favourite too
One of the more dynamic for such a short piece. Gave me chills when he went from hard to soft. Gets me everytime.
They're all brilliant but Ross's solo is incredible. I must listen again.
You could hear gary more playing with a better quality of sound
Josh rules. He plays like the bluesmen of the past century. Soul in every note. Pure expressiveness. It feels like he's singing.
I skipped straight to his - It was fantastic!
i knew it would be great when he said he just plays without thinking. always the best solos
He stood out for me as someone who creates music for a living.
I know right? There was quite some Freddie King there. And i loved his use of pauses.
Yep, he’s on another level. A guitarists guitarist. He’s playing 12-54 strings too! Ouch!
martin miller is my favorite, insanely musically and melodic. on top of it amazing feel and technique. a complete package.
Me too
Listened to Mateus' solo like 7 times. That's all I have to say. Tears in my eyes.
Me too, kept on rewinding 😅😅
rabea's solo was so soulful and with those tasteful licks here and there was just amazing, absolutely worth mentioning
Rabea's solo has the best proportion towards the track emotionally and technically. it was best fit and not exaggerated. no 1 for this one!
erkan oğur üstad gelse perdesizle fena solo atardı tam koma vurmalık akor geçişleri var
Agreed. His was top, the next was great, and then the rest kind of trailed off for me. They were good, but we were spoiled with the first couple. The standout on the back-end was Julia's. So smooth and clean and melodic.
It was fabulous!
fit the best, just edged julia out for me
Julia was my favourite. I felt the backing track wasn't the type to play fancy riffs. She added a beautiful soft touch without the guitar being driven hard. I wish I could play like her. That was amazing
Simp
I Agree 💯 Her's and Martin Miller's were my favourite
I agree
Same. I appreciate technical displays. But her performance was just beautiful. I could listen to that all day.
Hers was the only solo I felt compelled to 'rewind' and listen to again. Beautiful.
Man, everyone’s solos were so good. Each player had their own unique style. In my opinion each of their solos displayed exactly why they’re famous on TH-cam. Thank you so much for this video.
I was like: "Ross's solo is the clear winner here" Then Mateus popped up on the screen. Wow. Just wow. Incredible touch and feel, the emotional highs some of those bends and phrases reach are phenomenal. 10/10
I think it may have been a 10-way tie for first.
My top three favs were Paul, Mateus, and Kfir. Paul's was just great, Mateus was awesome, and kind of sounded like hendrix, and Kfir was probably the best. That bend was insane, the tone was spot on, and the delay was amazing. I also have to mention the tremolo picking.
IDK, for me, Mateus's solo felt a bit overdone. Ross got everything without feeling jampacked. But that's just my opinion. We are cork-sniffing a bit.
Rabea makes me feel driven to want to improve my playing like no one since Satriani when I was much younger. Bea pulls so much feeling out of his slower/ambient playing, it’s ridiculous. 💛👍
And then I got to Mateus’ solo - 🤯. Paul’s reaction says it all. 😂💛
Just saw Satch a few months ago on his new tour. Has some really great new music. Blue Foot Groovy is a fantastic tune.
Rabea impressed me!
@richardharrold9736 only from what I’ve seen on other TH-cam channels… not into metal stuff at all.
Mateus is just on a totally different level. The way he traverses the fretboard, and plays phrases is just immaculate.
I politely disagree. Technically maybe, but musically I didn’t enjoy it. No space. Ross his solo was way more interesting.
@@tomm5023 Ross' solo was beautiful (just relistened) and I thought his process was interesting, too. Very intelligent, and methodical. I must maintain my original opinion, however. I don't believe MA overplayed. He's the man!
Joeys slide solo was the one for me… the notes, structure, feels … love it
Same here, I got goose bumps
Yeah that solo was fantastic the bit towards the end is so vocal he really had that guitar singing
Julia's solo was so good man. You can tell that she's a classical guitarist but it counterintuitively worked so well with the track
Mateus was brilliant. Ross killed it and Julia's was the most pure. Yours was the most Beatlesque!
Man, Mateus has such a unique style and flow, i can‘t even describe it. It‘s just something special that sets his solo apart from everything else.
real damn i thought i was just being biased
He is a player extraordinaire!
Yep, there’s him and everyone else for me…
Everyone did their thing, but imo he really stood out in terms of having his own “sound/style” if you know what I mean
@@andremartin4795 DUUUDE SAME HERE. I thought I was being biased with how I see the solos. I still probably am a little bit, but Mateus' solo is different.

Truth !
No one's talking about Rabea's solo. OMG it was absolutely beautiful. I can see people just like distortion and fast playing. This man Rabea absolutely crushed me with his solo.

@@sinatra222 Absolutely agree..!! 👍
@@sinatra222 They were both my favorite. Martin is an absolute wizard on the fretboard man.
It was top 3 to my ears.
Josh smith so smoothly with his phrasing and note choices also his sound got the most vintage tone, always a pleasure to hear u Josh !

Sounded like a piano solo on a guitar. Really beautiful 😮

Mateus and Julia are a different breed. So smooth, so unique.
Marty sounded like the perfect session player. best approach not trying to show off. making the track shine not overtaking the natural melody that one might hear the chords progress
Agreed. He gave it just what it needed. I like the other solos, but they all felt like they were doing too much
That Ross's solo is incredible, with micro changes it's just wow ! i don't have any words...
Weird combination of Santana, Hendrix and Frusciante (especially on “not the one” from Unlimited Love)
It sounded do hauntingly beautiful!
rabeas solo just hits the spot and all other guys did so well
that solo was so fucking amazing
Ross killed it. Such a great player. 😎
Paul, what a terrific series you have built here. Thank you for sharing your talents, as well as the incredible collection of musicians you’ve assembled!
Oh man… Honestly, Mateus’s solo was the only thing left in my head after this video. It’s like the backing track was made for it. Truly phenomenal!! ❤
I’m gonna practice all of these solos but man mateus is goated
Same. It's just harmonically beautiful and original.
Same! Vai Brasil 🇧🇷
Martin is the best 😅
You took the words right out of my mind and heart. It was "UNIQUE" the cries in his pulls I felt it and the techniques the melody wow
The „feeling“ award goes … definitely… to Mr Campbell.
No frills, no showing off, just a deep dive into emotions😍. Love it
He is clearly the winner
Julia's solo made the song such a dreamy soundscape.
Her solo felt the most like there was a full song with lyrics and singing that went with this track. It’s the one I could imagine being on actual song track.
I would say Josh’s second.
Absolutely superb. I love these videos, lets us see how great pkayers craft a solo and their approach. Keep them going, please. Cheers
Ross nailed it for me. Less is so much more, especially for a melodic track like this.
A lot of great playing but Ross Campbell was my favorite. It felt the most soulful and emotion filled.
Josh Smith just blew my mind. Right in the feels.
yes 10000 people waved lighters with Josh, I literally cried
Over a year later and these collaborations are still my favourite thing on TH-cam.
What’s next for you Paul??
Julia's and Mateus' are my absolute favorites, the feeling, the sound, everything so perfect
Me and Paul had the same reaction after his big bend I was awestruck then started laughing at how amazing it was
I really enjoyed Josh Smith and Ross Campbell's solo's on this. They flowed so good with the track and sounded spontaneous.
I love how they were back to back - Josh who took 2 takes and then improved, and Ross who put in a ton of effort to compose something beautiful
Great to see Jens Larsen in there! Such a great musician, and his channel is a tremendous resource :)
Ah man, I enjoy his playing! Glad to see he got in on this!
His sense of humor really added something, I laughed out loud
Jens has such a beautiful tone and feel.
What was nearned from this video is the infinite joy of music , here the artist has created , no boundarys , totally an open expression, this video brought me to tears, as I found the infinite expression of music, my eyes and ears are opened more than they ever have been, you have struck a big chord

Beautiful ideas throughout, but it was JOSH's solo the one that sent shivers down my spine. Raw, honest and unadulterated
Agreed!
yess and at 13:48 loved it 😭❤
YES! They were all great, but Josh nailed it. Raw and honest is a really good description of how it sounds!
Thanks
I just said the same, up top, then saw his post. Dude was raw and up in the cut!
Josh is a living legend. All players are real great, but I love how Josh sounds on this track.
Watched it over and over again. Everyone gave their best. Ultimately, Ross and Julia really gave me the vibes. This is what the track actually wanted, for me, I believe.

O terceiro botou pra fuder
Mateus é absurdo!
I share exactly the same ideia as you!
I'm not Brazilian.. Mateus KILLED it!!...
Ross Campbell for the feels and and Julia Lange for sounding like a 1950's hawaiian guitar - such a great range of styles
Julia's solo might be one of the most beautiful solos Ive ever heard. All incredible performances by incredible artists. I love it
Julia's solo is the one that really stands out for me and sounds original.
Her approach is so gentle. I love it!
The solo of Josh was mind-boggling. The guitar cried, goosebumps!
Oh wow, Julia. If notes were made of gentle raindrops filled with love, that's how her solo sounded like. I loved every single one of the guitarists! Subscribed to all of them!
But gentle raindrops bring big floods?
Josh has so much conviction in his playing and not one note passed without an obvious intent to play it. I was absolutely stunned. Mateus made my jaw drop as well, freaking genius. But really hat's off to all the great guitarists, Ross, Paul, Marty, all of them.
Jens is such a tasty player!! Hearing him play outside his regular jazz progressions it’s really interesting and makes me think a lot about my own phrasing!

Great Video Paul!
My god, Ross and Mateus Asato, such genius and technical guitar players! So much joy to hear it!
Agree these two are my fav so far ! feels like they share the same emotion but difference approach
Mateus smashed this one out of the park, as per usual. I loved Martin's solo too, and ofc Paul's.
I can't watch too much of these, the play over on your melody is too much for the emotions, a grown man shouldn't shed tears so easily, what a demonstration of the beauty inside each musician, so different so equal. A brilliant video. Thank you.❤
Martin’s solo literally made me say “I’ve got to get better, dude.” Never heard him. He’s a straight monster.
Oh, you have to check out the medley performances on his page... The Toto and Queen medley are PHENOMENAL...
He have a few fusion ballad song with Tim Quayle that similar to this, check it out!
I feel you bruh.. same here
my favorite player as for today,his phrases is somthing else
Martin has an awesome feel for rhythm and harmony, and he kicks out some awesome phrases here, but I always feel like his solos would sound better if they had half the number of notes. 😁
I fucking love Ross' contribution, making the most of the Strat as well. The only solo that I had to repeat. Twice, even
Everyone killed it. Mateus and Martin Miller are always so freaking fun to watch. Those dudes never disappoint.
All of the performers sound amazing... I enjoyed Julia's solo the most - it's so tender and calm... Just brilliant.
Martin Miller’s solo was absolutely beautiful. I have nothing else to say about it
Agreed... 🥇
🔥🔥🔥
@@CrisCraig that’s cool, and that’s your opinion. Totally fine
I do. Even though I love his solo, to me he was using this particular rhythmic figure a bit too much.
@@CrisCraig Have to agree. Then again, Miller's style is not very expressive in terms of micro tones, bendings, and hand approach. His vibrato is ok but run of the mill and the way he fills the 3 and 4 beats of the chords is kind of predictable. Still, a great player.
I could watch Mateus play all day, absolutely beautiful, mind blowing, effortless but yet so unique , you could hear it with no video and know it’s him. Such a talent ❤
Rabea never disappoints...Joey's in a class by himself! Martin would totally make Brian May proud, Paul's solo shows just how far he's come as a world class guitarist in the past years! Jens is a freakin' riot!! "And I'm not even playing that amp!" Classic!! Josh's tone is magical! Then Ross comes up with an equally glorious tone! TASTY!!! Julia - beautiful as always! Marty nailed Mr. George Harrison's tone and phrasing. Totally retro. Mateus! What a blessing that dude is!! Kfir - who couldn't play with that sound for hours?? This was another great collaboration, Paul!! Inspirational!
We need another video like this! It's amazing to see such a different guitar players and their styles playing with same backing track
Perfectly said!
That's it
Amazing video. Particular shoutout to Ross Campbell-that solo was seriously inspiring
I love Jens’s understanding for form and musical structure. While all others clearly articulated part A and B (B=when the song slows down) Jens made something I would call a “lead-in”. In classical music there is a similar idea to connect antecedent with the consequent. The ending Motiv of the antecedent in measure 5 is the beginning Motiv of the consequent. It’s called elision. Also I wanna mention Paul’s feeling for short repeating cool sequences, a pleasure to listen to. And Julia’s smooth alternating fingerpicking was great to observe. It was a great idea to make a collaboration like this Paul. With all these great guitarists and their different approach gives us an insight to analytical thinking. Great job, keep on going.
This might be the best one yet. Julia Lange almost made me cry. Thanks Paul for doing these videos!
You can absolutely hear that every single one of them poured their hart and soul into this backing track, you heard no competition just pure love for music!!! Well done guys!!
Jen's playing through the song's transition at the 40 second mark was brilliant. No one else nailed that transition seamlessly like he did.
I fully agree, I had to go back a few times just to give it a listen
As far as just playing straight for the heart and gut, I say Josh Smith, hands down. For the “I should just put down my guitar”, jaw dropping moment, that goes to Mateus, NO DOUBT. All of these guys (and gal) are absolutely monsters and there wasn’t a dud in that whole bunch. Great video, Paul!!
Bea never disappoints.. just such a versatile player and has amazing sense of feel and dynamics to serve the music and the song overall. Amazing from all
I simply cannot pick a favorite!! So many different takes here and yet all so beautifully done. Just phenomenal playing from everybody and a great backing track to mess around with also !
Edit: reading the comments and seeing all the different reasons that people have a certain favorite is exactly why music is the best! We all hear things the same..but yet differently at the same time
Joeys solos was fkn heart wrenching!!! Hit the Center of my soul. ❤
I kept scrolling to find the Joey landreth comment , he deserves so much more praise for his incredible slide solo 😌
Love how you have Josh and Ross back to back - Josh who took 2 takes and completely improved, and Ross who put in a ton of effort to compose something beautiful
Mateus solo 23:28-23:32 ❤
Every single one was phenomenal! I have to say, Josh, Rabea, Ross, and Mateus hit me hard with the phrasing, the musicality, the variety, and the tone.
the sensibility of julia's solo forreals brought tears to my eyes. amazing.
Man, I agree. Fragile, delicate, beautiful and moving. What a solo
I think it complimented the backing track to most. I could get lost in that solo
same here
This is a tribute to the electric guitar and a sweet homage to all of our great guitar heroes that are no longer here! I’m speechless. THANK YOU ALL
The way Julia used octaves was so cool, it gave a three dimensional feel to the solo, hard to explain differently ^__^ Everyone was super good; at times, in some, I was like "hey maybe it's too many notes" and then Mateus comes in and makes that idea dissolve in its absurdity. Great video!
All solos were lovely but Julia Lange's sounded like the track was made just for it. It was special 💟
These are incredible guitarist - pls do more videos. im so satisfied
you say it, very satisfying fr.
Joey Solo sounds so good! OMG, that's the sound and feel, beautiful thing.
I loved all the solos, but for some reason Rabea's solo really hit home. Not too many notes, used silence to the benefit of the solo and you can even sing along to it. Tasty 100%!
Superb work from everybody. Julia invented and played something I have never heared or witnessed. Like tango lines, with absolute grace of phrasing and melodic ideas.
Sounded like Chris Rea tune over the song
Not something that haven't heard before but never thought it would sound as cool and as unique as that :)
