- Coming to you from high atop of the Shitty Vista Building in Black Lung Canyon California.
Ive been asked many times about this solo, and if I would do a video lesson. Well, here ya go. Watch the end to see my amp and settings. Enjoy
Scotti - บันเทิง
The reason why everyone still asks about the solo is because it touches something deep in your soul. The fact that Scotti took the time to make a video showing note for note how to play it says a lot about his soul. Thanks Scotti.
Yeah!
100%
👏👏
❤
Still sends shivers down my spine in 2023🎉❤
Easily one of the best solos from the 80's.
It's one of the best solos EVER.
@@9unslin9er agreed
I'd agree. Also Zakks solo from "Mama I'm coming home" is one the absolute best.
Agreed. And going back to the early '80's, I would add David Gilmour's solo on Another Brick in the Wal Part II. Very tasty!
@@largtr What do you think of George Lynch's solo from Walk Away from Dokken.
When I clicked, I didn't realize it was ACTUALLY SCOTTI HILL HIMSELF teaching the solo!
Scotti Hill I Remember You Solo Lesson
right, you were ready to tell him he was playing a section wrong?
@@robertv9448 ha!
Search out Robbie Krieger giving out Doors lessons!!!
Probably my favorite solo ever.
Not one unneeded note, pure raw emotion.
True. Even when it goes faster, the notes fit perfect with the harmony and feeling of the song.
Worthy pointing: Bach prepares the path for the solo in great style, raising the heat with his crispy singing.
absolutely the Best solo
Scotti Hill is an EXTREMELY underated and unacknowledged guitarist!!! the first time I heard the solo break on I Remember You it made me cry like a baby!!😢 I could feel/hear the passion he put it to the riff he was playing .. I've loved this song for 30 years now and I still get emotional whenever I hear it
Scotti is just awesome!!He is on my top 5 players hands down,the way he rocks and dig in those notes is amazing,make me want to play more also,win win…🎉🥳
Love Skid Row,dig you Scotti,and please can you donate that Jackson to me?Please…well…keep on doing what yall do,i love it!
I said almost the same thing to my wife a few minutes ago...i never get bored to hear this
Era when solos were so musical and well crafted for the song.
Which continues to this day..? People didn't *stop* playing good guitar solos, you know? Maybe you should try listening to more music. You might like some of it.
Listen to alter bridge, avenged sevenfold, black veil brides, as I lay dying( has some of the most melodic guitar solos.) killswitch engage, Sevendust, tremonti, to name a few bands. Even the bands from the 80’s that still make music to this day. Still write guitar solos. Skid row is working on a new album, I’m sure scotti and Dave will have plenty of new guitar solos on the new album.
Exactly
for me this solo is a highlight from the era!
A time when you felt music not just heard it!
Just wanted you to know this is the best guitar solo in rock history.it made the song memorable.just pure emotion.
Even as a drummer, I remember his and Dave's solos were so melodic, rather than just blasting through scales at warp speed. They wrote musical pieces for the song, and therein lies the importance and significance of true song writing. These guys did a superb job of doing that, and having musicians remembering them 30 yrs later, is a testament to that fact. Thanks for the great music Mr. Hill. You're a world class musician.👍
Agree !!!
Me Too!
I just think it’s so cool to see that guitar all these years later.
Dude I was thinking the same damn thing!! Thst guitar looked n sounded awful good to be that old!
I remember the three X's on the headstock too.
Airbender, was the 3X guitar not a different one?? Seem to remember it having a wooden colour body... Need to dig my Roadkill video out to double check 😃
@@thebibleblack8954 Could be. He did have that all wood grain Bootleg guitar, and another strat with a reverse headstock, but I always remembered it on the blue Jackson. I still have my copy of "Oh Say Can You Scream' on VHS. I recently bought Seb Bach's '18 And Life On Skid Row' audio book. Its a trip listening to SB reading it!
@@airbender0203 Yep same guitar. Says "eat me" under the guitar. You can see lots of pictures of it online with the same scratches and marks. Pretty cool indeed. www.pinterest.com/pin/399131585713569781/
One of the most legendary solos ever - thanks for this Scotti!
Wish Scotti did more videos. He's got killer chops, just a ton of wisdom and he's a Rock Star. The stories he could tell.
I'm not guitar player, but this solo has something magic, I don't know what it is, but it makes me feel something every time.
Cause he a great player with feeling
My friend, you wrote a timeless masterpiece here, of course, people will be asking about it for eternity! Thank you so much for sharing this video with us all! I'm sure many people would agree, I hope you share more of your teachings with us all. Your music has molded millions of people's lives and etched a place deep within our hearts and souls, thank you for that!
Ive always loved this solo, even before i started getting into skid Row
@@graeme1744 It's an amazing piece of music for sure! I've been a Skid Row fan since the beginning, messed around with the guitar when I was a kid but never was really serious, I always wanted to learn this solo since the first time I heard it! Now, 32 years later, I'm doing that very thing! To play it right with all the little nuances and bar work, it's dang tough, Scotti is an amazing guitar player and makes it look just so easy! Just like he talks about those damn strings ringing out, he's a master at muting! And for me, if you can't get those bar dumps and correct inflections as he does on the album and the exact same way he does in this video, you're not doing the music justice in my book! I'm not quite there right yet, but since he shared this amazing video, I think I just may have a chance!!
Amen!
@@AccuracySpeaks awesome reply to a solo that deserves it. Im a guy that believes in playing whats on the album the best way can and as close as possible. I wish more guitar players from over the years would show how they played theses solo and come up with them.
@@graeme1744 Thank you! You know I understand musicians mixing it up and not wanting to step on someone's toes by playing material note for note, but when you have a classic solo, like the one here, played any other way just ruins it for me! I hear folks covering different solos that play the notes, and play the notes well, but if you don't have that feel, it just ain't the same to me! It'd be like listening to Hotel California and someone just butchering the solos, you just can't do it! You gotta be true to Joe and Don!! You know growing up when I did, we listened to music front to back top to bottom, and I'm glad we did, because it made us listen, and with listening, you learn and music grows on us! These kids nowadays don't listen and they can't hardly communicate because of it! Hell, when we threw a record on, or a tape in, we were committed! Man, I used to keep cassettes in for months on end in the vehicle listening over and over, I'm glad I did too, cause it surely helps me learn the songs because they are etched into my brain! Thanks for the reply, my friend, it's nice to see cool people on here for a change! Take care, and stay safe!
This solo is a beautiful piece of music ..tells a story..
My personal favourite Scotti Solo. Super unique, one of the best solos of the era.
This is probably the best power ballad of the 80s.. It's definitely my favorite, I was like 17 when this came out. I wore this cassette out... 😂🤘💯
Same.
2nd best after 'Forever' (Kiss).
Cool… I was 13 .. This song changed my life .. Sculptured me .. The person I still am today .. Literally
Id say this and when the children cry are the best ballad solos of the 80's...of course, only my opinion..
Thanks Scotti. What a solo and how cool to learn it from the person who actually wrote it.
You and Snake are criminally under rated as players but even more as a team! Songwriting, rifts and over all kick ass Rock n roll! I met you all in the early 90’s, even met Doc! Bach actually pulled me up on stage after I fell crowd surfing and security was trying to drag me out! All in Vegas. You went into Monkey Business while I was on stage and when the cowbell kicked in I jumped into the crowd! It was epic! I still have a huge Skid Row collection! You guys will always be my favorites!
Ron Figg that’s awesome
Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa mother frrrrrrrrrrr!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
" criminally under rated as players" YES!!! AMAZING players! Wow!
@Drederick Tatum Funny how that works but you are spot on.
Snake could play rhythm n solo in any 80's bands be it maiden or gnr Or metallica Or acdc.... point to be noted !
So talented & so humble
I must have heard this solo from every player on u tube and no one ever comes close to the feel that Scotti has. Thanks for the lesson Scotti!
“SCOTTI HILL MAN” -Sebastian Bach, 1991
saw skid row 1991 at nassau coliseum...then wasted 3 hrs waiting for guns n roses to show up late..those were the days
This is one of the moust beaultiful solos ever made.
Congratulations Scotti.
Not only is that solo well written and excellently played, I think a part of the magic is the tone. It sings and it sounds like its on the verge of chaos the whole time. Just shy of feedback, its AMAZING!
That harmonic at the end is so powerful and it is simply perfect. I've listened this solo thousands of times 😍
No kidding, This is the best solo ever crafted for a ballad. It’s got everything, it’s got soul, emotion, AH’s and tasteful bar work.
Agree. In my personal top 3, the two of em are made by 1 guy!! I Remember You is first, Life Goes On by Poison second, and 18 and Life the 3rd.
Dude, this is one of my all time favorite solos. It's not just the notes, it's the feel. That melody, feel, and monster tone makes it stand on it's own. It's one of those solos that if you played it without any accompanying music, everybody would know exactly what i was. Really great video. Thank you.
Beautiful solo, absolutely perfect for the song, I’ve always loved it, the whole song is awesome, thanks 🙏👍🇦🇺🍻🍻🍻🍻
I think this solo stands out so much because, firstly, it's just an incredibly well-written and well-played piece of music. Secondly, rock fans had all been shredded and finger-tapped to death for a decade and this very melodic and unique solo just caught our attention.
Oh man in the 1989 I was 16 years old what a album fantastic thanx from italy
I can’t figure out how this guy ever thought of all these melodic solos!!! Unbelievable. Thanks scotti
I’ll never get tired of listening to this song or Scotti’s lesson on how to play it. Thank you Scotti -
Hey Scotti, just wanted to express my thanks for you and the rest of the guys creating I Remember You. That song means so much to me. Takes me back to the best times in my childhood. 30+ years later and it still stirs up emotions in me. Probably heard it a thousand times but I never get tired of it. Thanks again for the music.
That's solo is piece of rock n roll, amazing!!
Huge fan from Australia.
Thanks for this post mate.
Really hope to see more vids mate.
Love hearing the back stories.
Just thought you should know, that song is the song of the love of my life and myself. She was deaf but could feel it and read lips so I sung it to her. She was the best woman ever in my life, but sadly her dad and her moved and I lost touch. She taught me sign language, and everytime I hear it, I can't help but cry. That was when it first came out, and I'm 53 now. I miss you Sasha
One of the greatest guitar solos ever. I still play it to this day. Just bought myself an ADA mp1 that I couldn’t afford when I was a kid but I can’t still achieve that amazing sound. One of my all time favorite sounds!
Such a great solo and that tone-KILLER!
Since i was a kid i loved your playing style . You were always a guitar hero for me! Respect!!!
Always loved that solo! Beautiful soulful and lyrical ... thx for sharing!
One of the best solo I heard in my lifetime. Learned to play this song in high school way back in 91 or 92 and still playing it to this day. I Remember You - brings me back to lots of happy memories! Thanks so much Scotti for sharing!
The feel of this solo and all the solos on the ballads that you recorded were standouts... 18, quicksand, darkened room, etc. This is a good lesson for today's young musicians... Listen and FEEL to that vibrato
I remember seeing the overhand move on MTV when I was a kid, thinking it was so badass! That is STILL the most badass looking way to mute, and I still love that solo! It’s just one of those moments that I remember made me want to play a guitar: The Back to the Future Johnny B Goode scene; Eric Clapton sounding incredible while making it look easy; and the Skid Row overhand move in the video! 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
no words can describe how great this solo is. it cuts through my heart so deep. it can either make you cry or make you fly!
Legendary!
Thank you for all the great music!
I’m glad I got to experience that era..
Did anyone else go immediately after and watch the video of the solo being played in real time, and enjoy it yet again? 🤣
Yeah, sure did. Lol
I will be
Just did. Love that song.
@@Matthew-gn5yi, especially coming from the guy who originally played it. So, you know it's true chords. Not to mention, it sounds so good.
@@Mark-um5hc Yea. I was like it's not THE Scotti Hill & then I watched the video & was like HOLY SH&* it is him & he can still play just like he did back in Skid Row's heyday. Would love to see something from Rachel Bolan & Dave "Snake" Sabo.
As a fan of SkidRow, and a developer of that little amp, I'm so proud and honored to see you playing this song. :)
That little amp sounds awesome! :)
You developed those amps??? That‘s so cool. I love my THR10X. Best way to get that 80s hot rodded sounds.
Holy SHITE!! I have the EXACT same amp.....a damn fine creation
Blackstar tube amp would be more accurate for the sound of that solo.
@@3joewj Yes, because you know more about Scotti's Tone than the man that actually WROTE the solo LOL
Getting the details of this solo, means everything to me. Coming from Scottie himself. This is the best solo, ever.
Hey Scotti, thanks for the lesson! I've always loved your playing and have admired your work for years. Thanks again.
One of my all time fav solos
I remember learning this solo out of guitar for the practicing musician back in the early 90's way before TH-cam. I use to love sitting on my bed with my Kramer, also with a floyd rose tremelo, and a new guitar tab magazine learning new songs. God I miss those days.
you and me both.
thisaint myname I remember GFTPM! Spent many an hour sitting in front of those transcriptions....
Me too!!
Great magazine, whatever happened to it. First one I got was back in 91 I think. Had Kirk Hammett on cover and Shortest Straw tabbed
Same
Thank you Scotti!! All your solos painted beautiful landscapes for the songs. Thanks for teaching us mere mortals :)
Scotti Hill you were the sound of my best years! God bless you! Really you did write a masterpiece solo here.. simple but not so simple.. and melodic and powerful! To me it is THE solo of the 80s and 90s.
This is one of the first cd's i bought when cd's came out ! I can still remember it like yesterday ! I bought appetite for destruction and this cd which were the only two in the store at that time . Love every track on this album !!!!!! I wore the cd out i had to buy another . Make more vids and tell us about the gear you guys used back then . I heard it was the Rivera TBR SL-1 . The good old days when rock was on top of the world !!!!
Dude!. We need so much more of this from you! I saw you in 91 with LA Guns and Love/Hate. Do the whole of the first two records!.
Yes! I saw them in London with the same bands!
I went on some trip in high school and listened to this solo about 35 times in row on my walkman. It's so good as is the whole song. I never imagined 30 whatever years ago i would someday see something like this. Thanks for the song and video!
Thank you for this solo. The amazing vocals and guitar playing belong together that it created this timeless beautiful song. This is one of those musical pieces that will be played over and over for generations to come.
Fkn First! Wassssup Scotty!! Third solo I ever learned as a kid back in the days when u guys were on top of the world. Thank you for an awesome soundtrack to those teen memories.
The "EAT ME" guitar. The first time I saw this is in the solo of "Piece of me" music video. Thanks for lesson Scotti. More videos please.
Scotti was my favorite between the two guitarists. He always had great, fat tone and his choice of notes was always beautiful. This is definitely one of his best. Great solo.
Wow! Truly an honor to see how this masterpiece was executed by the master himself. So much emotion and soul. Thank you for being part of the soundtrack to the best years of my life.
Criador de lindos solos românticos. 😍🇧🇷🤘
Awesome, nothing like getting a lesson by the player and the actual guitar it was recorded on. priceless.. Thanks!
That song and that solo... The song connects to everyone who has ever lost a love, and the solo pours out every ounce of the emotion that permeated your life at that time. Thanks so much for sharing it with us!
Impressive. Always Great Solos. Congratulations Scotti.
Hey Scotti. Good to see you're doing well. You actually taught me this solo in person back around the end of July in 2000 when you guys played my venue in Rome, GA. This should give you a laugh from the past too....my show was the first with Phil V and you guys came to Rome a day or two early to rehearse with Phil. Your manager called me a few days before to ask me to line up a studio for this rehearsal. I had heard some local band guys always talking about their"Studio" so I assumed it was legit and set it up for you guys to use. When we got out there (in the middle of nowhere) it turned out to be a damn barn! I apologize again about that but props to you guys for rolling with it. Still to this day, that was my favorite show I ever booked at the venue and you guys killed it! Thanks again.
if i could "request" another solo lesson that would be the Wasted Time solo. I believe its one of your best!!(??)
Hell Yea!!!
absolutely!!!
Definitely!
That's a great one 👍
This is a must!!!!!
It’s an amazing solo, Scotti! So full of emotion and passion. You’re seriously the most underrated guitarist to come out of that whole era. You licks, riffs and solos were always so tasteful and perfectly suited to the song.
Incredible solo! Full of emotion and what ears love to hear. Right on point. Thanks 🙏🏻
Unbelievable solo still to this day.
I remember playing along to the song and I nailed that squeal at the 40 second mark exactly like it is on the record. I was so stoked. I didn't get any other parts of the solo right, but I got that harmonic squeal. lol
lol
This is beyond beyond.
Thank you, Scotti.
This solo is eternal.
I have always loved that solo, man. Thank you for writing it!
Those freakin' dives! Mick Mars and Scotti have the best bombs. Not overkill - just enough at all the right times.
Great call Martin!
Os solos mais românticos do hard rock. 🇧🇷🤘🇧🇷🤘
This solo is one of my favorites now 30years later I can learn it from the man himself awesome scotti thanks for sharing, I seen you play it live twice it's so cool
Good times and memories! What a blessing to hear you play this again so many years later on the very same guitar!
When someone disagrees with you about tone being in the fingers, show them the Yamaha at the end
Is it a bad amp?
The guitar nerd in me desperately needs to know the history of this guitar
Yeah...the tape over the Jackson logo really has me curious too. I'm guessing a contract/sponsorship from another guitar company made this necessary.
I've watched this Over and Over and Over. Just never get sick of it. What's better than a song you love to hear every time? Have a Monster Rock Star break it down for you in a personal setting. Simply AWESOME! Just Love the fact he shared this with us. Thank you. 🙏
🤘🎸
An incredible solo from an amazing album. Thank you so much to do this lesson, we appreciate it.
How about doing a video on your version of little wing. You killed it on that song. That is the song and your version that made me save up for. Guitar.
I wish he'd do a video talking about that blue guitar.
Nice to see that Scotti Hill is keeping his channel alive and giving these amazing lessons! Thank you so much!
One of the best solos written in a slow song ever!!! Thanks for this contribution Mr. Hill!!
The best musician from Skid Row! By the way, Makin a Mess solo, it would be nice, dude!
Hey man I use to build guitars with Lumpy, he always talked about his days touring and working with you guys.
Oh man that was beautiful. So many memories when that song came out. You Rock!
We're grateful scotti hill, you cover a lot of questions . That was awesome.
The reasons people are still asking about the solo is because it's a awesome song and solo but more importantly people are Finally realizing that today's music SUCKS with every band and guitarist playing in some drop C tuning and just how good Skid Row is.
Scotti, I wanted to say a HUGE Thank You for creating the best music of my Youth 87, 88, 89. I will never forget the times back then. I Remember You was the BEST song that came out in the late 80,s IMO. Thank you Man.
A great band that produced a great debut record with great songs & excellent musicianship. Thanks so much, Scotti for taking the time to demonstrate this AND for showing your amp settings! I always loved the blue Gibson double cut Les Paul you play in the vid too.
Thank you Scotti, for 30 years of pure delight every time I listen to this solo of yours. A beautiful, power and emotional melody that will last forever. And thank you very much to spend the time to teach us how to play it, when I got it, it was simply magical hear it from my own fingers. God bless you man.
Nothing beats a lesson from the composer and master himself! thank you
How can anyone not love this solo? For me, it is one of the most amazing guitar solos from all time! 30 years ago and it's still fantastic!
One of the best guitar solos of all time!!! A real masterpiece!!! Thank you for sharing this wonderful vídeo!!!
I so appreciate you sharing one of the most iconic solos in rock. Thank you!
Well done Scotti. You created a timeless classic solo here. Wonderful of you to share. Rock on buddy!
Back in those days, I was a long hair freaky people kind of guy. very young and easily influenced. I had a huge range of music I loved. from Kiss to Styx and about everything in between as long as it rocked. Randy Rhoads was my all time favorite. But when your music hit the scene, I was all in it. You Mr. Hill were a huge influence to my playing style that progressed over the years. Those sure were the days and they dont make'em like they use to. Thank you for the wonderful memories.
LOVE this solo and it legendary to me...especially that pinch harmoic at the end Scotti - SO DAMN GREAT!
dragging and dropping the needle on my record player over and over again in the late 80's !!!!!
Damn thanks for these vids Scotti
