Ya gotta love Uli Roth. He was too deep an artist for the Scorpions in 1979. Jabs was a shredding, athletic, smiling guitarist. Young, virile, physical, lightning fast and prototypical for the genre. Uli Roth was a mysterious traveler. He created timeless melody while in a trance. Fast, fluent, visionary and indifferent to fads. The Scorpions chose the right guitar player in Mathias. Uli Roth chose his own path. He stayed true to his muse. He would have never been happy with the testosterone driven 80's Scorpions. He did what he had to do. He left the band. It's good to know that he still gets along with the Scorpions. Good friends all. A happy story. We could use a few more happy stories these days.
" get along with the Scorpions" The band with the absolute lowest amount of drama and bs ever! Michael, Uli Jon, Mathias, Rudolf and Klaus should inspire all musicians, and ppl with their harmonious story, Namaste all
A lot of folks don't really understand what's going on over here.. Uli is a 70s era guitarist. From the newer generations you would expect guitarists with equal, if not better techniques and virsatilaty, but from his time period, not a single electric guitarist can touch him! This puts uli on a completely different cosmological scale!
Snuppeluppen søppelsopp Good point, but under the same prism we could say the same about Jimmy Hendrix and the classic or flamenco guitar virtuosos of that time. Different kind of music.
Uli, you are amazing. I've never heard an elecric guitarist playing with so much feeling and sensitivity. You prove that rock an classical musicians can play on the same level.
Uli has magical touch and tone in this performance. No other guitarist has this incredible sensitivity for dynamic range and vibrato. Uli really makes the guitar sing like a violin. Awesome feel and phrasing. Definitely in the Pantheon of Guitar Gods.
Holy Crap! I have been into this guy since Tokyo tapes first came out in 78. I would have never guessed he would be playing Antonio Vivaldi note for note! Mind blown officially!
The sky guitar is really amazing for this type of music. It sounds more like a violin than a guitar and that makes Uli's interpretation unique as always!
Ollie is mutually adored by the greatest guitarists that are still alive. Watch them when they play together sometime the admiration the respect that is so evident. You can see it in their gestures and their eyes their behavior. And only in all his greatness is always understated and full of humility wow always knowing that he can go the extra mile that others cannot. Wonderful to see this kind of stuff caught on film. God bless you all we're blessed to be able to hear this.
I've always loved Uli's Metamorphosis even though i think he goes a bit too far in the high notes, sometimes. He's got such a fluidity and brio... The guitar tone is so pure as well... all in all, he makes us think it's ..Easy, while it's so difficult. I had the big pleasure to interview him for this release...
I'm not sure ... he has got a certain degree of distortion that a classical violin hasn't. That makes the perception different. My perception, at least.
Amazing you shot this Hippie Steve. Sound-picture quality...all of this time I thought it was released by Uli. That Vivaldi blew away people that never would've listened to him/ And so many recordings have been made of it but Uli's was fuller and richer. Thanks again for the post.
Finally this piece on electric guitar, because Vivaldi's 4 seasons have parts of real speed metal, totally insane but above&beyound beauty. All music genres come from classical because it's an Universal language. Would loved seen Jason Becker played Vivaldi. 🇳🇱🌬💞
Going to see him again in Nashville. One man show this time. Small venue. What an honour. I guess his talent is too much for some to comprehend. The city should be shut down but instead he plays a small room. Oh well it is certainly to my benefit.. Thanks Uli
JUST SOME TRIVIA THE BLUE STONE belong to jIMI HENDRIX .HE AND ULI WERE INVOLVED WITH THE SAME FEMALE AND SHE WAS LEFT THAT . SHE THEN GAVE TO ULI .HE AND HENDRIX WERE GREAT FRIENDS. JUST SOME TRIVIA
I love neo classical metal, and classical music. Uli Jon Roth was the best classical - rock player there ever was until Malmsteen came around. But I'm pretty sure Uli inspired Malnateen, even though Malmsteen never said so. How could he not!, Uli did the classical - rock thing before and better then Ritchie Blackmore/ Jimmy Page!.......Malmsteen took it to another whole level decades later!
Blackmore was already using sweeps, the phrygian dominant scale, and playing with an orcherstra in 69, but i agree that Uli took it a step further. Yngwie's playing style is a mix between the two (Uli and Blackmore), but his on stage attitude (especially his early year) is definitely Blackmore. Also, Page never touch anything classical.
@@ivanfoofoo any video footage? Edit: you're right, Page does play some classical tunes on some of zeppelin's live shows, but still, his contribution towards neoclassical metal is miniscule compared to Blackmore and Uli
Вообще то неплохо но в 3 части иногда не те ноты, что у Вивальди, вообще это интересно. Вот Почему Скорпионс считается Классикой рока! Потому что музыканты этой группы опирались прежде всего на классическую музыку, и только поэтому создавали такие шедевральные вещи)
No doubt Uli is a phenomenal guitar player, but I think classical music and electric guitar just don't go together no matter how many times I give it a try.

@@TheWhippetmaster actually there's some Michael/Rudolph drama, I don't think they get along nowadays. But yea, beside it, they're pretty chill

Jehad Akbari Thank you for being the one righteous dude that recognizes this!!
Even nowadays people can't touch Uli. He just flies over them all with his Transcendental Sky Guitar!
🦅🦅🦅🕊🕊🕊
Jehad Akbari overtones of pretentious arsehole?

Music is a contribution, not a competition.
Uli, you are amazing. I've never heard an elecric guitarist playing with so much feeling and sensitivity. You prove that rock an classical musicians can play on the same level.
One of the finest performance's, of all time. Uli Jon Roth. Vivaldi would have loved this rendition of his incredible music
Uli has magical touch and tone in this performance. No other guitarist has this incredible sensitivity for dynamic range and vibrato. Uli really makes the guitar sing like a violin. Awesome feel and phrasing. Definitely in the Pantheon of Guitar Gods.
So glad that Uli Jon Roth, Scorpions and Michael Schenker's Temple of Rock all still are out there touring and recording!
Great players don't try to be great, they just are.
Perfect integration of the electric guitar sound in an orchestra! Precise and clean execution! Vivaldi would have loved this.
That's some incredibly intense and advanced techniques.
Uli looks like a hash smoking, medieval,axe wielding wizard. Classic yet so underrated.
Holy Crap! I have been into this guy since Tokyo tapes first came out in 78.
I would have never guessed he would be playing Antonio Vivaldi note for note!
Mind blown officially!
unbelievable! Never heard anything like this from a rock guitarist!
One of the yngwie's biggest idols. in every aspect.
But you won't hear him say that...
@@shanardsmith147 This guy was sweeping diminished arpeggios before even sweeping was a thing.
And Steve Morse was alternate picking them just as fast back then too.
Without a doubt.
@@shanardsmith147 What do you mean? Uli is one of the few and only people who I have heard Yngwie give credit as an influence.
What a superb guitarist. Enjoyment at its finest.
OK, I'm convinced. This guy is for real, a shredder. Clean as hell, but shreds.
The sky guitar is really amazing for this type of music. It sounds more like a violin than a guitar and that makes Uli's interpretation unique as always!
Volume swells help...
It's phenomenal... I underrestimated his skills!
And it's probably the most beautiful guitar I've seen
How great is Uli , a living diamond!!!
beautiful! Love the fact that he uses a clean tone. It does really mimic a violin. wow.
He is a totally Virtuoso !!!! No words to describe his enormous talent.
Ollie is mutually adored by the greatest guitarists that are still alive. Watch them when they play together sometime the admiration the respect that is so evident.

Amaizing artist! Fortunate to be on his show at the legends boat on Mallorca in two weeks!

I've never seen a guitar with the fretboard going up so high. Way cool guitar! Not to mention his playing. Holy crap he is amazing!
It was the first 7 string 32-35 string guitar to be built..
The guy built it his house
...and I read somewhere that the very last frets are so tiny they count for one full step
Just great.⭐⭐⭐🖤Thank you Uli 😎
Wow! Thank you so much for this Hippi Steve.

Just once I'd love to see
Uli perform with a Symphony live in America.
All I can say is " wow " . Thanks for sharing this . I got here via MSG/UFO doctor doctor and I'm loving the journey .
This is some righteous stuff! Thanks for posting it!
It is indeed!
I was there ! (Amazing performance).
WOW! JUST WOW
Most excellent version !!
You done well ,Hippi steve thanks. Died and still listening
Same kind of sounds and tones that Jeff Beck could come up with , stunning!!😮
THE MAN IS A WIZARD!
ULI IS A GUITAR MASTER
uli gets excited he finally has found the perfect song for his new 3 foot peacock feather.....and so do the rest of us-lol
Gandalf Roth!
This is how you play violin classics on the electric guitar! Sounds alive and exciting! Not like freaking boring Penguin Malmsteen!
That’s a 7 string, 32 fret guitar to those who aren’t aware.
bhrams leonhardt I was wondering , thanks
Isnt the highest note the 36 fret equivalent? The highest positions are in whole tone intervals though, otherwise the fingers would not fit.
GRACIAS MAESTRO!!!!! just WAOOO!!!!!
Going to see him again in Nashville. One man show this time. Small venue. What an honour. I guess his talent is too much for some to comprehend. The city should be shut down but instead he plays a small room. Oh well it is certainly to my benefit.. Thanks Uli
this ist great stuff 🤩
I'm blown away!
Don't get the 3 thumbs down. guess they were expecting Virgin Killer from Uli.
no the thumbs down is from psycho paths that hate beauty
@@pappyschon3327 They were disappointed that he didn't play "Wonderwall."
I HAVE BIG TIME RESPECT FOR for this man,GREAT BIG FAN JAY GORDON
i'm speechless!
The Master
I fkg love this!❤
Fuck I already took to the sky flying
Hello from Vivaldi"s Gran Gran child peter Ferguson
Hello hope you're great great Grandpa would approve I know Uli has the utmost respect for him and his genius
Perfect!
Sickly awesome!
beautiful
AS I AM NOT A MUSICIAN , I NEVER NEW OF A " SKY GUITAR"
7:07....ecco perché io dico che Vivaldi ha inventato l'heavy metal!....molto tempo fa!
Uli semplicemente stupendo!!!!
Un sincero cordiale saluto.
70年代エレクトリックギターでバイオリンの音色を再現に成功したのはウリジョンロートでした🔥速さだけならショーンレイも居ました。
That hat is awesome
I think that 1more stone thanos searching is at Uli right hand🤣
Brilliant.
I saw Uli live once back in 2004, I think. He played over backing tracks and opened up for Michael Schenker. He was great. Schenker, not so much.
Agreed, never got the hype about Schenker. Uli is unparalleled.
He is amazing and that special sky guitar is a work of art it has almost the same range of a violin. Like 40 frets?
JUST SOME TRIVIA THE BLUE STONE belong to jIMI HENDRIX .HE AND ULI WERE INVOLVED WITH THE SAME FEMALE AND SHE WAS LEFT THAT . SHE THEN GAVE TO ULI .HE AND HENDRIX WERE GREAT FRIENDS. JUST SOME TRIVIA
A wild baroque pirate appears and uses Primavera Allegro, it's somewhat effective. Then uses L'estate Presto, it is super effective!
Рокеры супер музыканты играют все и как

Uli too this day makes malmsteen look pathetic
Respect !
excelente tocada
Where this concert was? I see a Rembrandt in background...
Perfect
This is sick, drowning in creativity
brilliant
Blows away Yngwie. Less gain is more.
Wow!!!
thats guitar wow..
le maître!!!
ÉPATANT ❤️ BRAVO 👏👏👏 3:51
просто завораживающе, такой талант!!! Ну почему он ушёл из моих любимых Скорпы ???!!!
Damn....his guitar almost sounds like a "stratavarious"!

🤘👹🤘
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Who was first, Yowie or Uli? I'm guessing Uli because Yngwie did everything else last
same League with Richty Blackmore or Zappa :)
The Summer
Странно медленные части быстро, быстро медленно, непонятно
Show.
He can teach Yngwie a few things on that guitar
изумительно
yap
And what for you,sir?
L'estate
Ridiculous. In a bad way.
No doubt Uli is a phenomenal guitar player, but I think classical music and electric guitar just don't go together no matter how many times I give it a try.
EveningWind hahahah, are you sure? Check Dr. Viossy here in TH-cam , a phenomenal Italian guitarist!
Neo-classical metal. Top of bad taste!
Perfect!
