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...
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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. 💛👍
@@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
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.
@@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.
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.
@@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!
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.
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.
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!
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
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.
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!
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.
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!
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!
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
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.
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!!
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!!
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. ❤
Damn you Paul. My goal was not to have tears run down my face. Mission failed, crying my eyes out. This and the one where you had Chris Buck, sick and wrong. So emotional. Love the Beatles'ish "something in the way" progression. You are my favorite youtube guitar personality. Keep it up sir. Come to Nashville
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. 😁
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
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.
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 ❤
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
@@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.
that won the internet for me today, such a range of sounds...simply wonderful - thanks Paul for orchestrating it and all the artists for their time and effort. More please 🙂
This was a really good idea to make this comparable, and there are so many really awesome interpretations - I love it! Please do more of this, we all can learn a lot of it.
I am a 64 year old life long musician (Trumpet) and have always had what I consider a great ear for finding great musicians whether Instrumentalists or vocalists. I was pleasantly surprised to find the majority of these fine guitarists had already fallen into my gravitational pull. Julia and Marty have been added to my ever expanding list of must listen to artists. I look forward to much more from you all.
I would love to see more of these… I always find myself coming back to all these videos of different guitarists soloing on the same track. Love seeing their takes, flavor and music design.
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!
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, 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!
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 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...
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!
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!
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
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.
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.
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
Mateus’ solo was absolutely nuts. Just about the best bends and vibrato I’ve ever heard
Really? I found that really comical 😢
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.
I’m definitely grateful to anyone fulfilling that much needed space. These guys inspired me to work on my own ear training.
….or every single guitar lesson😂
@@doofinator4285 Same! Carl is the goat, imo. And yeah, both great guys doing great work.
True that.
martin miller is my favorite, insanely musically and melodic. on top of it amazing feel and technique. a complete package.
Me too
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
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.
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 !
That felt like a 60 year journey of guitar soloing! No winners, no losers, every one of them epic.
Truth !
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.
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
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!
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.
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
Mateus was brilliant. Ross killed it and Julia's was the most pure. Yours was the most Beatlesque!
Mateus and Julia are a different breed. So smooth, so unique.
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.
Thanks!
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
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.
Let’s give Marty some love!!! Without his great pentatonic videos I would never have believed I could even play a solo!!
His was the most boring of all of them!
@@officialWWMsome people look for feel and others for technique… He was the only one who consistently left breathing room between phrases.

Listened to Mateus' solo like 7 times. That's all I have to say. Tears in my eyes.
Me too, kept on rewinding 😅😅
Ross killed it absolutely! Soo soothing and flowing!
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!
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 !
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.

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.
@@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.
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
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
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!

Sounded like a piano solo on a guitar. Really beautiful 😮
Josh is a living legend. All players are real great, but I love how Josh sounds on this track.
rabeas solo just hits the spot and all other guys did so well
that solo was so fucking amazing
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
Ross nailed it for me. Less is so much more, especially for a melodic track like this.
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.
Mateus smashed this one out of the park, as per usual. I loved Martin's solo too, and ofc Paul's.
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!
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
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.
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
The solo of Josh was mind-boggling. The guitar cried, goosebumps!
Ross killed it. Such a great player. 😎

Great Video Paul!
Mad respect Paul bringing us the amazing guitarists and amazing tunes you are helping to bring back guitars, amazing work my brother
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?
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!
Everyone killed it. Mateus and Martin Miller are always so freaking fun to watch. Those dudes never disappoint.

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
These are incredible guitarist - pls do more videos. im so satisfied
you say it, very satisfying fr.
Josh Smith just blew my mind. Right in the feels.
yes 10000 people waved lighters with Josh, I literally cried
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.
A lot of great playing but Ross Campbell was my favorite. It felt the most soulful and emotion filled.
Ross Campbell for the feels and and Julia Lange for sounding like a 1950's hawaiian guitar - such a great range of styles
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!!
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!!
This might be the best one yet. Julia Lange almost made me cry. Thanks Paul for doing these videos!
Amazing video. Particular shoutout to Ross Campbell-that solo was seriously inspiring
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. ❤
O terceiro botou pra fuder
Mateus é absurdo!
I share exactly the same ideia as you!
I'm not Brazilian.. Mateus KILLED it!!...
Damn you Paul. My goal was not to have tears run down my face. Mission failed, crying my eyes out. This and the one where you had Chris Buck, sick and wrong. So emotional. Love the Beatles'ish "something in the way" progression. You are my favorite youtube guitar personality. Keep it up sir. Come to Nashville
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. 😁
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
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
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 :)
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 ❤
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
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
Absolutely superb. I love these videos, lets us see how great pkayers craft a solo and their approach. Keep them going, please. Cheers
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.
that won the internet for me today, such a range of sounds...simply wonderful - thanks Paul for orchestrating it and all the artists for their time and effort. More please 🙂
I fucking love Ross' contribution, making the most of the Strat as well. The only solo that I had to repeat. Twice, even
This was a really good idea to make this comparable, and there are so many really awesome interpretations - I love it! Please do more of this, we all can learn a lot of it.
Sorry guys, but Mateus is just on another level. I almost cried when I heard his solo. Simply the GOAT
I am a 64 year old life long musician (Trumpet) and have always had what I consider a great ear for finding great musicians whether Instrumentalists or vocalists. I was pleasantly surprised to find the majority of these fine guitarists had already fallen into my gravitational pull. Julia and Marty have been added to my ever expanding list of must listen to artists. I look forward to much more from you all.
jens switch in cadence @11:10 is just so sweet, everyone killed it. There needs to be a video of just the solos. Fantastic work as always Paul!
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
Ross and Julia to me were exceptional...all about feeling , dynamics and reading the progressions with space and amazing tones
Rabea, what a start. His style has so much soul !
Mateus solo 23:28-23:32 ❤
I would love to see more of these… I always find myself coming back to all these videos of different guitarists soloing on the same track. Love seeing their takes, flavor and music design.
