He was always my favorite of the Scorpions guitarists, and this is my favorite of their songs. The Scorpions, a band that over the years had more guitar talent in it than any band has a right to. This is the song I recommend to people to show them how a brilliant guitarist transcends mere metal shredding and takes it to a higher plane. Ulrich Roth, always a class act.
@@tsbflyingv ever noticed it has the same melodic contours of Duke Ellington's "Caravan". And he is one of those shredders who DOES NOT OVERPLAY. In terms of discipline, Uli probably is the most disciplined of all rock guitar shredders.
+PGeorge61 Much more so!!! Page and Clapton inspired a plethora of insipid, derivative, and conventionally boring pentatonic wanna-be rock players who've done nothing but drive the genre into cliche-dom. Uli took the psychedelic vibe of hendrix into a world that was never before heard. Alternate picking over strings, the phyrgian scale, unconventional chord voicing's , the guy really was the first shredder ever.
Al Di Meola and John McLaughlin led the way in the 1970s with styles that incorporated aggressive speed, technical precision, and harmonic sophistication. Their technically virtuosic and complex styles of music have been cited as an influence by a number of prominent rock and metal musicians.
I don´t think you´re wrong, but those guys are not rockers. Among rockers, the use of minor scales along with rock/classical mix began with Uli, Blackmore, Schenker and Jan Akkerman. And Uli was definitely the one out of those four that went deep in that path
Tomas SB The jazz fusion guitarist's speedy rock-oriented guitar solos demonstrated to many rock metal/guitarists that they didn't have to be slaves to the pentatonic scale, legato technique, and the 1st and 3rd fingers of their fretting hand.
The more i see this guy the more i think he's probably the best. He's like Shenker/Blackmore/Malmsteen Di Meola all in one. And above all that technique incredible feel and emotion!
In Virgin Killer tracks, such as Catch Your Train, he sounds a lot like Michael Schenker IMO, but yes, I consider this guy as originator of "neoclassical shred" subgenres along with Ritchie Blackmore and Yngwie Malmsteen
His solo was a perfect example of how to resolve phrasing and why you need to resolve phrasing.He is the master of his craft and was,is and always will be, a legend.
@Joshua Mezza you basically quote the main melody again to indicate others you are done improvising. If you listen to a typical jazz recording, the track usually quotes the main melody at the end in order to finish the track off
@Joshua Mezza the JS Bach piece The Goldberg Variations, it starts with an ARIA or the main melody, then there are 30 variations of the aria then the last simply plays the Aria again. It tells us the piece is over.
When my guitar teacher taught me that the guitar needs to "take breathes" even though your hands do not changed the way I played forever.. phrasing is so important.
There really IS only one and that one IS Ulie Jon Roth. Ive watched him and emulated his work for half a century. Hes brilliant and makes it look easy.
I never saw this Genius in a guitar magazine cover or in the principal article of these mags. Instead, many guitarists much worse than Uli Jon Roth occupied these places. Life is full of injustices, and the Guitar World doesn't escape this. But thanks God, Uli built a great career without the guitar press. Long Live Uli ! (excuse me my brazilian english)
Truly ridiculous! He is phenomenal ULI should be rated among the top guitarists in the world, he is AMAZING it is a shame that more people don't know who he is!! Play on Uli
I had the pleasure of watching Uli play at a tiny venue in Orangevale CA. My good friend Kimber lives walking distance from the venue. It was a magical night I'll cherish for as long as my memory allows. Sorry I forgot the name of the venue.
Uli Roth influenced so many great players who then influenced so many players. His playing and influence can be heard on literally thousands of recordings.
Just incredible guitarist Uli Roth is definitely one of the best I'm 61 and been to many concerts Scorpions were among the best shows and Uli Rocked....
Uli Jon Roth is a living legend to professional guitar players and composers. His career path always steered away from popular music into experimental, progressive and psychedelia, so he's not nearly as well known as he should be. In addition to being so in tune with his instrument that he can pull of complex sweeps with no effort while grooving in 'the pocket', he's also musically correct, in the classical composition sense, with no falsetto shortcuts.
Just saw this last night in Sacramento, small night club. Was the same drummer and singer (but he was on bass). About 6' away from this legendary dude. He was humble and cool, just doing what he does and interacting. It was a casual night, but it was one of those classic moments with a classic musician.
yeah and Al Dimeola was the original Neo classical guitar player, before Uli and Steve Howe was the original Neo classical guitar player, before Al Dim and Blackmore
Was about time i dig a little about this man. Kind of shocked to find out he's the grand father of my guitar idols. Damn.. It's very cool to ear all that in a song!! HAIL to Mr Roth and its legacy
Uli is considered a legend even by other rock gods. I mean, try googling about Uli's tours in the last two or three years, you'll find him sharing the stage with Joe Satriani, Steve Vai, Pettrucci... It's sad he is so overlooked by a lot of guitarists
Such a fuckin game changer. This man connected some serious dots guitar wise. Such an amazing song. About to start playing again. I got some catching up to do
Après avoir écouté des guitaristes pendant 40 ans, j'ai placé Uli sur le trône, parce que c'est le seul qui allie la technique, la virtuosité, l'esthétique, l'expressivité, l'innovation. Il n'est pas seulement un géant de la musique, c'est aussi un très très grand artiste.
I love him, he's an incredible talent. I was also lucky enough to know him and keep in touch with him, and he is an incredibly kind and easygoing person. A great example as a person as well as a comet for anyone guitarist
I couldn't have said it better! I had the huge privilege of having a beer with him after this concert. I was a bit over 30 years old back them , but i struggled not to freak out like a teenager who just met his idol hahaha
I'm always transfixed listening to Uli... a premier example of a musician at one with their instrument. He demonstrates something so very challenging seem effortless. The sign of a True Master.
I would believe Malmsteen was the fellows name.Something like that.Uli is an absolute master of his craft though and we all know about Malmsteens talent so I had to say something 6 freaking years later ;)
He's no good on his own but definatly capable of some precision try him as a complete onsomble backing up Jorn Lande as opposed to some overly bedazled wank fest of a solo project.He should let Satraini handle those kinda vanity projects and be available to tour with Jorn at the drop of a hat.In other words tell me he's overrated without telling me he's over rated ;) While were on the subject Stevie Ray Vahns over rated I would say the most,I d never speak I'll of the dead but we put that guy on such a pedestool I spent the first month or so after his death pouring through that mans mediocre blues catalog trying to discover for myself what all the fuss was about.And Don't even get me started on Garcia and his meandering style that never took us anywhere.
Tell you one thing I'm sampling album number 3 as I'm texting this and ive gotta agree Uli just gets more dank with every album this guy certainly blows the mind once he's unshackled.That Swedish guy actually anoys me when given full control its not even the same tier Uli uses just enough fresh expertly prepared ingredients to keep all his Michilain stars till retirement. Malmsteen just chucks the entire pantry into a bowl and hope it all works out.
@@wesleyharrison9014 Yngwie is like a 13 yr old boy in the backseat with his first girlfriend a few seconds and the tank is empty. I appreciate how precise he is but after that nope.
Tja, nunmehr 59, seit ich 17 bin Gitarrist, langer, steiniger Weg, weil ich nie viel Theorie wollte, NUR spielen. Nach 42 Jahren Spieler-ei wissen meine Finger bei Solos ENDLICH wohin. Ziel erreicht! (Akkorde kenne ich 4 oder max.5, 2 Power - Chords, der Rest wird ganz einfach kapodasterisiert! Nu, in doch schon gesetzterem Alter, höre ich, dass jemand das freie, wahrhaft LYRISCHE Gitarristen-Tum, ja, doch VOLLKOMMEN (drunter kann ich's nicht sagen, weil das griech. Wort f. vollkommen bedeutet soviel wie " ins Schwarze treffen"/Bogen-Sport. Und das macht Uli. Er holt die Musik in einem wirklich kreativen Akt/Quanten-Tunnelung aus dem Nichts...was nur die Allerallerwenigsten können...) Und damit kann ich mich endlich tiefen-entspannen. Den Job macht schon der Beste! Heisst, ich kann voll nach Herzens-Lust weiter SPIELEN, und mich um gar nix kümmern, (ausser endlich um ne Band, nach 29 Jahren Pause...). Besser geht's doch net! Weiss einer, wo hier auf YT das Live-Video ist, mit der gerissenen Saite, einer gut-grausam verstimmten Gitarre und einem reziprok dazu ZEN-gelassenen Uli Jon Roth, aus dieser Kak-O-Phonie mal eben ein grenzgängerisches Spontan-Meisterwerk- Solo aus dem Hand-Gelenk zaubert...? (Oder bin ich grad gar ZU BREIT und es ist eben DIESES Video hier?🤔.) Egal Ich hab sowas noch NIE gehört, aber ich glaube, so wollen doch klammheimlich die Meisten spielen, aber keiner tut's/traut sich... Na, und nach einem zweiten Live-Clip mit einer ebenfalls nicht ganz MONK-sauber, aber SEHR GUT gestimmten Gitarre, hatte er mich dann... nämlich gerade eben! Bei dem Intro hab ich nur gedacht: besser geht's ja net. Nu hab ich nach Jahrzehnten ENDLICH mal 1 ECHTEN Guitar-Hero/God ! Go on Uli, forever & ever !
Has no one really not commented on the swaying mic stand? LOL Love this era of the Scorps!!!! Love to see guys like this still having fun and playing so well.
Guys, Uli owns Jimi Hendrix favorite strato, he played Strato in his early days, so it´s safe we can say he is the master of the stratocaster (although he is much cooler as master of the sky guitar!)
Magia y poder únicos en cada nota que acaricia el Maestro Uli. Destila clase por los cuatro costados. No solo virtuosismo, el cocktel Roth se basa principalmente en talento, unas composiciones inspiradísimas y mucha, mucha pasión. Llamadle antiguo o que se quedó en el pasado... en los 60-70's y llamadle hippie o Hendrix blanco... pero, desgraciadamente, pronto nos quedaremos sin genios como el, sin guitarristas de la vieja escuela.
No guitarist strikes me the way Uli does, this cat is a gift to humanity. Totally effortless and the guitar is an extension of his body and soul. I wish I could express myself through the guitar like that. I will now go and apologize to my Fender.
a cloud burst from heaven with a mighty crushing sound and a great voice spaketh and sayeth, "behold these two witnesses before the throne!" and i looked up and saw Hendrix and Uli Jon Roth. . thus it was so.
The world will never realize the importance of this man's playing....
this very song basically gave Yngwie a carreer :')

He’s plays effortlessly. It’s a travesty he’s not mentioned as one of the greatest except amongst those of us that know better.
Yes, same as 46 years ago, when he was 23
Cause he was never in a big band again after scorpions...like Yngwie only guitarist know him!
Crappy western music media might pay next to zero attention to him, but in Japan he is hailed as a god.
@ sadly you’re spot on.
Please remember this great song is 42 years old!! Incredible playing and composition
Couldn't agree more!
46 now.😎
Uli is one of the original guitar gods from the 70's!
Seen him 2 times. Same show. Xcellant shows better than most if not all . just ask kevin mcman. From midway
fellowship club

Look at how cool and calm Uli John Roth plays his guitar !! Legend !!
2022 still lovin it !!
YES!
That opening solo is one of the great compositional wonders of the rock world. And he just channels it -- no effort at all. Uli is One.
May I add he looked tired with all the traveling and touring and yet delivered such a masterpiece. Indeed, Uli makes it look so easy!
@@tsbflyingv ever noticed it has the same melodic contours of Duke Ellington's "Caravan". And he is one of those shredders who DOES NOT OVERPLAY. In terms of discipline, Uli probably is the most disciplined of all rock guitar shredders.
@@bpabustan The phrase at the end of the shredding piece is clearly a hommage to caravan, I think to remember himself saying that
Uli belongs on the same pedestal as Page, Clapton, Beck, etc. His contributions are just as worthy. Even more so than some of the "Guitar Gods"
+PGeorge61 Much more so!!! Page and Clapton inspired a plethora of insipid, derivative, and conventionally boring pentatonic wanna-be rock players who've done nothing but drive the genre into cliche-dom. Uli took the psychedelic vibe of hendrix into a world that was never before heard. Alternate picking over strings, the phyrgian scale, unconventional chord voicing's , the guy really was the first shredder ever.
He's countless levels above all of those guys.
Al Di Meola and John McLaughlin led the way in the 1970s with styles that incorporated aggressive speed, technical precision, and harmonic sophistication.

Uli is a Legend.....I still love Klaus Mein's voice on this song......
Even tho I'm an Eddie van Halen fan, Uli has a very special place in my heart. Without this man there's no yjm or there's no shred scene in the 1980s.
His solo was a perfect example of how to resolve phrasing and why you need to resolve phrasing.He is the master of his craft and was,is and always will be, a legend.
Yes like a true jazz or classical musician - you always resolve or return to the main melody to tell your bandmates you are about to end.
@Joshua Mezza you basically quote the main melody again to indicate others you are done improvising.

Love that comment.
Watching his elegance while playing mind blowing licks is truly amazing
Uli’s the man! Incredible stuff!
Older not Wiser yup :)
That opening solo is still as effortless and smooth as when Rudy first shat himself wondering how he could ever keep up with their new guitarist.
The old man has still got it
he's a God among mortals!
He never lost it,, only makes it more original every time :)
rudolfschenker he's even better now than he ever was
Pure awesomeness...this is why Uli Roth is still the best ...
I came from Malmsteen cover... but the lvl on Roth it's just pure awesomeness. Never heard it before.
That amazing opening lead with the rolling, flowing, flawless and seamless note playing. Just magnificent and too much for words
How have l missed this guy all these years? I have some listening to do....
Not your fault , man :)
He's very low profile. Also, he's a gentleman. So if you catch him in concert, the meet and greet will be an unique experience
Catch up on his early work with Scorpions. (1974-1978) As well as his work in his band, Electric Sun after he left Scorpions. (1979-1983)

Such a fuckin game changer. This man connected some serious dots guitar wise. Such an amazing song. About to start playing again. I got some catching up to do
Uli is incredible, he doesn't even have to look at his guitar when he plays, he can do it blindfolded. LOVE this version of Sails.
That melody he plays during the solo is Caravan by Duke Ellington. Awesome little musical quote there.
Finally I see it in print -- I thought it was just me that noticed that!
Have seen Uli twice. Seeing him in Germany is on my bucket list.
Uno de los grandes guitarristas que dio el rock.
¡Gracias por compartir!

One of the most unique entro's to a song. It makes the song.
He's been a personal hero since the first time I heard "Polar Nights", which took me until 82 to catch up. One of the greats.
Brilliant.
