I wish people would stop saying a particular guitarist is “underrated”. Dimartini is not underrated. He’s not overrated either. He got the recognition he deserved. His playing is equal to whatever his net worth is. He’s a millionaire. He got correctly compensated for his talent. If he was any better or wrote better music, he would’ve gotten paid more. But he didn’t. I think being a millionaire, playing the music he liked, and never having to work a regular job is pretty successful, don’t you?
along with a couple choice King's X riffs...and rightfully so given that in the timeline imho Ty is the copyright owner of drop-D in the hard rock universe. But yeah this is a killer and maybe the best.
Back in the early 80s when I was learning this song and playing it with my band (I was only about 13 or 14 years old... very good for my age at that time, but not as good as this guy!) the version I came up with was not this accurate. I would have crawled over broken glass to have this video back then. People today learning this stuff don't know the struggles we had back then. Good tabs and transcriptions at the music stores were few and far between, and even the best ones had a lot of inaccuracies. I must have listened to this 300 times trying to get it as accurate as I could. People today don't know the struggles we had back then!
Oh man for suuuuuurrreee!!! TH-cam changed everything... wolf marshal was the man but other then his books there was little else to use. Try and figure it out by ear with mixed results. Today's players are very fortunate to be ble to have masters giving tutorials for free
This was a hard riff to learn back in the day. In 85, I specifically got front row tickets in front of Warren so I could see how he played this and Round and Round.
Yeah in the 90’s there was all the guitar based magazines that we bought. And the different books, some for entire albums. Tremendous. Not to mention all the vhs dubbing of videos of our favorite guitarists too.
Still amazes me how Motley achieved their level of fame without nearly the same category of quality material/musicians as Ratt, who by contrast, never achieved Motley's worldwide, legendary status.
@@guitarizt68 Always gotta be that 1 idiot who brings up Motley when on a RATT video . Ratt was good at what they did & Motley were good at what they did . Leave it at that
I NEVER comment on videos but this time I must. AWESOME! I grew up in San Diego during the same time period where Warren DeMartini was attending high school back in the late 70's. I still live in the area. I have no connection to him or the band but I do remember my friends mentioning the band, and their emergence, and LOVING their music. And I DID have at least two of their albums. And I have a few of their songs on my iPhone. LOVE the riffs, especially the ones in this song, "Lack of Communication", "Wanted Man", "You're in Love", among others. You play this VERY well. Congratulations on your attaining your skill level and THANK YOU for putting in all the work to learn this song. I would love to learn this song but my gnarled fingers won't cooperate any longer. I don't know who you are but keep up the GREAT work! I am grateful. 🤘🏼
Technically, the most accurate cover of the song on TH-cam. He doesn't miss one single note, and his guitar setup sounds exactly the way Warren's setup sounded. The best on TH-cam!
It's certainly a great rendition, but I wouldn't consider it anywhere close to being "technically, the most accurate". He did, indeed, miss parts and also added things which are a byproduct of phantom sounds. Additionally, at times, his rhythm was off. Great? Yes. Technically sound? Nope.
Technically, Who gives a 💩, It sounded awesome... And took me back to 1985, the year I graduated high school... I remembered how we all waited to see the premier of the video on MTV... Ratt NEVER disappointed...
@@guitarizt68 I agree. This rendition is awesome but my ears tell me that the notes were too high starting at 43 seconds. I don't play guitar and I have no room to talk but I can't help but notice subtle differences. I am highly impressed and loved it though.
Besides you having an Eddie Van Halen Frankenstein, I can tell you are a Van Halen fan by the way you finished the song. I'm a 42 year old 80's rock fan. Van Halen was my favorite group and Ratt was one of my secondary favorites. I really enjoyed your video! Outstanding job!!!!
Excellent. The main riff is one of the reasons this is one of my favorite Ratt songs. Every time I hear it, the riff is stuck my head until I can pick up a guitar and play it. Thanks for sharing this was a great cover.
Your tone and playing is incredible.....flawless as well! You need to install a chrome D-Tuna on that Frankie's Floyd Rose!?!? I'm really diggin' mine on my black Jackson Robbin Crosby Signature Firebird. It has the backwards logo on the headstock too, just like Robbin's did. RIP Robbin Crosby!
simply amazing. great job SATSUMA, but what he also does here, is demonstrate clearly that Warren DiMartini was one of the coolest rhythm players in LA and one of the most dynamic lead players to come out of the 80's. this entire style and tone was what Ed Van Halen, DiMartini and Jake E. Lee were all about. those three players define 80's metal for me, and it's fucking amazing to see someone like SATSUMA play this kind of rock as well as they did!
This is actually the BEST rendition I"ve ever seen (including mine).... I always wondered about the chord just before the solo... I play it a little differently... it's hard to tell exactly what's goinon
Umm , no , warren knew lynch very well back then, and copied George. My old singer toured with lynch mob as singer. I'm old enough to know all this the first time around. In Hollywood
I imagine there is an older gentleman and his wife sitting at their table patiently waiting for their order to be taken. They give each other confused looks as they sit there watching our talented friend lay down some tasty licks. The husband starts to get agitated as he notices his wife starts to tap her foot and sway her head to the music. Our guitar hero plays on totally lost in the moment.
You can rework it without the A string - the drop-D fills in that space most of the time. If you pedal the low D consistently, the A string notes (D and E) aren't really missed ... not saying it's legit but it can get you 90% of the way there which should be enough to impress your friends :-)
Fantastic video of possibly the best 80's stadium rock song ever written... This guy plays the back ground "lead" rhythm and 121 people can only play the easy part...lol, still love listening to and playing this song.... I miss the 80's and 90's but at least I got to experience them!!!
I had completely forgotten about this great song until I heard it again in the “Cobra Kai” series, hats off to Cobra Kai for re-awakening me after almost 40 years!
Absolutely awesome. I love how dominated that solo. You took your time and incorporated all the heart and styling of the original solo. Will definitely be checking out some more of your covers.
I like how he’s playing in a restaurant somewhere.
o.o Haven't noticed until I read your comment haha
Playing that riff circa mid 80s in a stadium of screaming fans must have felt godlike
@kingofallcrypto Except for the ones on stage.
That solo tho!!!! Damn. Glad I was alive during those days. I used to crank this song before going out on Friday night.
KC PMII god I think your a bitter douche bag ,maybe?
@@AnonymousSourcesConfidential what a dick.
😮💨😮💨😮💨😮💨😮💨
Warren DiMartini was a vastly underrated guitarist in my opinion. Definitely one of the best in the 80s hair metal days for sure.
And like 19 when this dropped!!

You are damn right ;)
this or unchained by van halen
They are close...heard both riffs new ('81 & '85), saw both tours and both had the same effect...fuckin insane...
Robbie Barousse Exactly. I'd have to give it to Ed for having done it first.
Ratt has some of the best riffs from that time period... Man, this video brought back some memories...
Robyn Crosby was a killer
Agreed, he and Lynch were my two favorite.
最後ギターだけになって、アームで吠えるように終わる所が何回観ても格好いい🎸✨
You are a badass bro!!
Anybody else taking a Ratt nostalgia trip in 2020? Geico did a great job targeting us 80s rocker kids. 🤘🤣
DAMN STRAIGHT!!!!!
They really made them relevant again it's not overkill but shit I'm proud metal is in the mainstream again at least for a litle while
grizmit never stopped listening
Fk yeah!!!

One of the best solo's of the 80's. Nailed it.
高校時代からこの曲にチャレンジしてうん十年…
未だにイントロが弾けません😭
指が開きません😭
今年こそは…
素晴らしいっす🤘
ラットも好きですが、むしろサツマさんのファンになりました！
私がギターを始めたころは、すでにLA時代が終わってから数年たっていましたが、これほど上手な方がおられるとは、、
夢中で聴かせてもらいました！
私のギターはいまほとんど家庭と仕事で置物状態ですが、サツマさんのを聴いて改めて、弾きたくなりました！
ありがとうございました！
しかも寝屋川ということで、身近に感じます笑
And that's how you lay it down kids!
You're not Warren Dimartini, but you stayed at a Holiday Inn Express last night.
Great job.
Warren D was a serious shredder!
Lol
that would be a Crosby riff
@@sunsolar4947 Yes sir. I always come on these to make this comment.

RATT may not go down as one of the greatest bands in history, but that riff is soooo great!!
Still amazes me how Motley achieved their level of fame without nearly the same category of quality material/musicians as Ratt, who by contrast, never achieved Motley's worldwide, legendary status.
Nah ratt is one of the greatest of all time! Shaped alot of the 80's metal!
Well, just my opinion
Their guitar work was choice. This is Warren I believe.
@@guitarizt68 Always gotta be that 1 idiot who brings up Motley when on a RATT video . Ratt was good at what they did & Motley were good at what they did . Leave it at that

Awesome dude best I’ve seen in a long time , that’s that the real deal
Great playing, man... awesome tone too... very brown and crunchy
The good news is the 80's will be back in 60 short years!

Why doesn’t this have a million views. I’m still working on the intro lol. Loved it man
people don't realize that song is not easy to make it sound right.
Got a couple Ratt songs in Rocksmith. They have some really difficult songs to play. Winger, too.
Exactly bro! Extremely difficult. Much respect to this dude!
That stretch 😯
WOW Excellent performance,,,, Awesome fret work ,,, looked like a 5 finger spread on the neck .... Thanks for sharing....
Very cool! I'd like to think that Warren would appreciate seeing this.
my fingers could never do that, Awesome ! Keep Rockin man !
That's what I call an epic guitar cover!
Nice work. One of the greatest licks ever written. Hooks you from the first note
I subscribed years ago and the videos still amaze me! SATSUMA3042=Guitar MASTER!
Great guitar skills you have!
Spot on, loved it!
I love your taste in music....IT"S THE BEST MUSIC THEY EVER COME OUT WITH!!! So much Taste And Melody.....GooseBumps Man!!! ROCK ON!!!
Not to even mention your Timing......Wow Man....Sounds like the freakin record!!

I like this video because it’s the best guitar cover on TH-cam. Awesome 👏🏻
Okay, I kind of binge on this because it is pretty freaking amazing. But, seriously, how can someone give this a thumbs down?
Theo 80126 envy, that’s the only explanation
I played this like 5 times in a row and my wife blew up me saying normal people don't do things like that! (She's not a fan of Ratt)
Theo 80126 wait, this isn’t Barry manilow. Down vote.
OMG! 0:50 to 0:53

This is actually the BEST rendition I"ve ever seen (including mine).... I always wondered about the chord just before the solo... I play it a little differently... it's hard to tell exactly what's goinon
You're awesome. No need to hide your face

Umm , no , warren knew lynch very well back then, and copied George. My old singer toured with lynch mob as singer. I'm old enough to know all this the first time around. In Hollywood

One of my favorite ratt riffs. Kickass job man
i want to play this song so much, but those 5 fret stretches really get me...

I suppose one could always have the webbing between ones fingers surgically removed for that extra little bit of stretch 🤔

Very few guitarists play covers as well as this guy here. It's rather remarkable how well he plays.

A few skills? Have you seen the rest of his videos? Just saying.

You can thank that tool Stephan for that. Plus it was REALLY only Warren who had all the talent. The rest was bozo central.
I had completely forgotten about this great song until I heard it again in the “Cobra Kai” series, hats off to Cobra Kai for re-awakening me after almost 40 years!
I think Warren lifted this from "Unchained."
He got closer to Eddie's brown sound that just about anybody.
Absolutely awesome. I love how dominated that solo. You took your time and incorporated all the heart and styling of the original solo. Will definitely be checking out some more of your covers.
what tuning is this? Drop D then tune everything else down a half step?
Brad Gustafson drop d
Yes, exactly. It IS a stretch too. Don't rest the guitar on your right leg (if sitting). It's easier to fret the chord. 👍
I could watch this guy play for hours and hours
