Al Di Meola - One Night Last June (Live) Leverkusen 2006

[@RichLyles]

All that with dynamics. Al is still my favorite because he is a great musician not just a great Guitar player. Those lines speak with such authority. Simply the best.

[@markrobinson8410]

Al recently had a heart attack Get well soon mr.dimeola

[@Brian98121]

KIss my Axe is without a doubt one of Al's best albums. He makes his guitars sing. Just beautiful music.

[@Rayquesto]

I know! Transcends any words possible!

[@godthunderz]

Speed, cleaness, feeling, timing, accuracy; now I know why Petrucci cites him as his Sensei

[@tinfoilhatter]

right? he not only can play everything, but he knows a hundred appropriate alternatives for every 'thing' musically... that's the impression i get...he's turned every note into a good note, without exception!

[@jskypercussion]

The other thing that many forget about Al is he is also a percussionist on that guitar. Al's timing is way harder to play that Petrucci's straight foward drills. Now I am not knocking Petrucci in any way, that is the big difference between him and Al. Petrucci's solos and riffs are crazy, they are just straight foward and cut right through the music, Al's have all kinds of crazy tempo rudimentary structures that really get frustrating after a while if you want to play his licks properly. Plus the range of jazz that he uses makes his musicality much more advanced that Petrucci's. After a while Petrucci's stuff becomes pretty easily understandable once you master the scales he generally comes out of and his techniques. Now on the other hand with jazz, jazz mathematically is like the Pie equation. It never ends and the possibilities are unlimited. Some of the greatest jazz masters admitted they were still learning jazz in their later years. But that is why Petrucci worships guitarists like Al Di Meola, Steve Howe, Alan Holdsworth and Steve Morse. They all do things uniquely and distinctly with serious technicality and musicality.

Matteo Mancuso brokes his ass.

[@cyanhallows7809]

don’t really need comments and attitudes like this mystifying jazz further. nothing “”complicated”” my guy just a different style

[@Cristian-sr2qs]

Who???

[@astrophotonics9470]

He is still well above these well known shredders...........Superb Musicianship.

[@hummarstra]

What's always amazed me about Al is his impeccable timing. His triplets are always perfect, they start on time and always end on time regardless if they are arpeggios or three-note per string runs.

[@jskypercussion]

Yep he is a percussionist on guitar

[@JVLIVSPhotography]

I never tire of hearing this song. Never!

[@thiagowolfgrann93]

alot of interesting licks and lines, Al is the master!

[@mrmogensen]

by far the best version of this song. so many small details that makes this better than the studio version :P

[@dennisjohndreher7258]

This song is off "kiss my axe" arguably one of the greatest guitar albums

[@davidodell8781]

I've been a big fan of Al's going way back this man is one of the cleanest Pickers I've ever heard puts me in mind of another clean picker Roy Clark

[@clydebrown9982]

If it had strings, Roy could pick it!!

[@Viking-Guitarist]

That sound.... Both clean and overdriven... All pickup positions sound perfect... I prefer Al's Les Paul sound, but this is perfection...

[@Viking-Guitarist]

@@midnightcruiser7762 judging by videos on your channel you haven't learned anything yet

[@baartkoster1120]

I definitely agree. Great compositions, high intensity & bravado woodwork. And this masterpiece still sounds fresh after almost 25 years!

[@HunterRouth]

I just imagine this being in an italian castle courtyard on a cool summer night. This song is glorious.

[@tonebrennan8475]

Fabulous! So much to love about Al’s playing! The metronomic intensity of his picking technique! And he makes the PRS sound SO sweet!

[@peteb9451]

Beautiful pice of music, don't need any text, it speaks for itself.

[@danielholtxxl4936]

His timing is and has always been IMMPECABLE!

[@wieljanssen4913]

Al is outstanding, he's simply a genius on electric and accoustic guitar. I hope to see one of his shows in the future!!!! I mist him in Leverkusen at the Jazztage 2012, bad luck!!!

[@marcusvee7386]

Yes loved his playing ever since Land of the Midnight Sun, His strong grasp of Latin Rhythms also puts him in a class by himself. A Bad Ass to say the least. His early solo records rule .. !

[@annmarieguarino4477]

Me too!

[@weenerdoggs]

What mastery of dynamics :) Very Cool!

[@loud7070]

An amazing piece of music ! ! !

[@flexsquared1]

I'm in 2018!! Is this the future!!!!! Music like this cannot be replaced!

[@loud7070]

Masterful accompaniment, masterful Al. What an enjoyable piece of music !

[@MathematicsCapital1]

DiMeola and Holdsworth as the Master's of the Masters. DiMeola even plays long used patterns, sections and devices in constantly refreshing ways. Yeah Al we've been friends most of my life.

[@alainmetalbible5150]

FRANK GAMBALE BIRELI LAGRENE TOO ♥

[@instrumentalist28]

Supersymmetry 0101 i always wanted to see what holds and di could do together on stage....rip holds

[@007zz]

Al Di Meola is a great player, but to name him in one line with Allan Holdsworth.. Allan was a different league.

[@perrycomeau2627]

An amazing musical artist and teacher

[@mrliburd8823]

[@ShredBaron85]

fantastic tune @ 3:10!!! i love al di meola so much!

[@spicewiczmusic]

Fantastic!

[@vmat1000]

"we're gonna take you way back..." to paraphrase Albert King. Not a PRS fan (out of reach) and Al's wasn't much for the eyes but rolling that guitar vol to next to nothing and still sounding sweet...i guess thats why they're loved.

[@VirtuoseGuitaristGB]

Great Song...

[@onetime504]

My head exploded about 4 minutes in. He's amazing.

[@MrLittlepump1]

Timeless beauty

[@fusi0nista_bum]

i'd classify this outer space latin. al is above everything!

[@damiangibson7264]

Desde el minuto 4:19 hasta el 4:58, sin duda es la mejor parte, una verdadera obra maestra 😎

[@sarunasp8194]

Lovely+ incredible.

[@SandBoy408]

2:36 is where Paul Gilbert took this damn good alternate picking progression. He was a big Al di Meola Fan.

[@DavidEscobarGuitar]

3:10 just beautiful

[@pierrelacoste6621]

AL DI MEOLA, FOR ME IS THE NUMBER ONE GUITAR PLAY......IT'S SURE .....AND THE PRS CUSTOM WHICH IS PLAY ,IS VERY NICE!!!!!!😃😃...THE COLOUR ON THE NATURAL WOOD. IS MARVELLOUS.......PLEASE AL DI ... SEND ME YOUR GUITAR 😃😃😃😃😃😃

[@JetEarlewood]

jperryfan I'd love to see Al playing a JET.. Jeffery Earle Terwilliger

[@SpyrosPanouts]

VERY GOOD TRACK1

[@22fret]

A great tune...

[@maracuja10]

2:47 - 3:00 = AWESOME. This part is amazing, I love how it sounds.

[@QVAlfista]

I fell in love with this tune off the Kiss my Axe album but I must concede this live version with PRS guitar is superior to the album version! GREAT TUNE!

[@IonCotofan]

Thanks;)

[@lucasjrl7748]

Genial!!!

[@tommalts8807]

Artistic.

[@marcelogaea1064]

Percussion are earning their keep, I see!

[@mrmogensen]

Badass intro! much better than the synth drums on the studio version x)

[@danb7601]

wow fuck, there's literally no one out there that can write such a long piece with so many note changes and still keep it interesting the whole way through

[@АнжелаПасниченко]

Dimeola - God!

[@MrUrech]

8:12 Al Di melts his high E string to the fretboard

[@taxo]

@jce269 his real name is Al-ad-Din,he found the magic lamp and asked the genius to be the best guitarist in the world

[@mick2181]

[@GuichoSax]
