Academy Of Tone

[@BluGuitar]

Thanks for watching this episode with the unbelievable Uli Jon Roth. I want to express a special thanks to Uli for joining us here on AcademyOfTone sharing super interesting insights on his artistry, playing concepts, his Sky guitar and not to forget his cat😊! Enjoy, Thomas

[@troyellis1513]

I've been lucky enough to play before and hang out with the Maestro Uli Jon Roth. One of the nicest, most gracious humans I've ever met. And a amazing musician as well!

[@BluGuitar]

Yep!!!!

[@glen4326]

This is one of the best musical interviews from a long long time. Uli gets into the details of working with the orchestra - a regular rock journalist would never ask and have the time for Uli to give answers. I love the part that he says the the orchestra reacts instantly to soft or loud even though they are trained to play their part, they are not automatons and are so good to work with a conductor.

[@BluGuitar]

@@glen4326 I’m glad we did that interview! Uli was so open-on every subject… Legendary!

[@samyard]

Was für ein wunderbares Gespräch zwischen zwei wundervollen Menschen

[@sveniegalus]

You know , I know we know us, since a long time , this is really awsome great !

[@BluGuitar]

Hey, thanks!

[@nickvankempen]

It was fantastic! Thanks again, Thomas and Uli for doing this. I hope there will be a part 2 in the future. Cheer from the Netherlands 🙏

[@BluGuitar]

I hope so too! Greetings, Thomas

[@Carmelo.G]

Thank you for this vid Thomas & Uli . Carmelo from Belgium

[@BluGuitar]

Our pleasure! It was fun and still a lot of details… I love it! Greetings, Thomas

I have been listening to Uli since 1988 (I heard him in the Scorpions before that, but I was a child of the NWOBHM and it took a few years for my ears to catch up) and I've never been able to catch him live through work commitments, or a lack of money. This November he's in the UK so perhaps I can make it to a gig then.....(but I guess I'll never have a 36 fret instrument without a bit of a miracle!) Thank you for this episode!

[@BluGuitar]

Our pleasure! It was fun! You should definitely see him live…

[@Rufko]

Really fantastic interview. Thanks Uli and Thomas for this. Uli is really a true artist. Wish him all the best for future. Hope he will record and release albums more frequently. This is the only week point he has. Cheers!

[@BluGuitar]

True artistry needs time…

[@glen4326]

I'm glad I staye to the end. Very beautiful playing! I haven't heard anyone play the sky guitar besides Uli and it's interesting to hear how different it sounds in another's hands.

[@BluGuitar]

This was the proof! The tone is in your fingers, and in your heart. There’s only one Uli !!!.

[@timl2116]

Great interview with Uli, that also briefly showed my guitar at the end… Now I understand who created the Blu amp that Uli uses! It’s a very nice amplifier!!!

[@BluGuitar]

Thank you so much!

[@jasondotson]

Very engaging and informative. Thanks for this great Uli interview!

[@BluGuitar]

My pleasure!

[@scottnoricsson2023]

such a Legend, in every way

[@Michael-dv6zi]

Klasse Interview ! Wäre schön wenn Uli das nächste mal zu dir ins Studio kommen würde.

[@BluGuitar]

Wenn er mal in die Nähe von Saarbrücken kommt, werden wir es versuchen!!!

[@markoRE]

Wow! This was awesome. Thanks for this. Uli! The Man.

[@BluGuitar]

Our pleasure 😊!

[@markoRE]

@@BluGuitar alright, that's it. I'm getting an amp1 mercury. Thanks guys!

[@sulisscrps2413]

Uli GOD Roth!!

[@henningbrombas2626]

👍sehr schönes Gespräch

[@BluGuitar]

Lieben Dank!

[@jamdalf4343]

22:24 I love Ear Burgers, lol! 🤘

[@totoche1112]

🥰🤪🤩😘YEAH ! Very great news !

[@vladdyvansavage8760]

That was an interesting interview..still love the versatility and the sound of the Strat. Was fortunate to meet Uli at the Sky Academy in LA in 2013 & even had a jam. It was unreal, he is a great teacher. A Sky guitar is an impressive instrument, still on a wishlist. Ah the Mickey Mouse sounds..😆Familiar with that especially live, nothing is ever loud enough, but due to sensitive ears i turn the amp down instead of cranking it up. Lonesome Crow is an amazing album, groovy, jazzy & progressive

[@BluGuitar]

Glad you enjoyed this episode!!!

[@vladdyvansavage8760]

Thanks Thomas.. sure did!@@BluGuitar

[@robinstahlbaum9813]

cool video..

[@BluGuitar]

Thanks!

[@odunhops7727]

der Uli ist eine besondere Kategorie. Ich liebe sein Spiel seit den 1970ern. Irgendwie war das immer von einer anderen Welt!

[@BluGuitar]

Ja, genau! Ein echtes Original!!! Toll!!!

[@crusheverything4449]

I love how amused Uli is by how loud he used to play. 🤘🏼😆 It may not be as brutal these days, but he still likes to play LOUD!!!!

[@internetmoney221]

Hello Blugies 🎉. Tom, try a Strymon Deco in the FX loop (parallel) of an AMP1 to get better tones at lower volumes and a little echo.

[@BluGuitar]

I didn’t try the strymon, but I know how the Replex thickens the tone adding a bit of compression. That is great at lower volumes. Anyway will try the Deco too… Cheers, Thomas

[@ulfvolz4798]

Ein tolles Interview! Oder vielleicht trifft es das besser: ein toller Dialog! Mir persönlich gefällt dieses Format besser als der x-te Vergleich mit anderen Amps - da hab ich zuletzt nicht mehr so häufig zugeschaut. Vielleicht hat Michael Schenker ja auch mal Zeit für ein ähnliches Gespräch? Viele Grüße!

[@BluGuitar]

Die Mischung macht’s. Und Uli ist wirklich special…!

[@annamariabruzzese]

Uli and his cat ❤

[@BluGuitar]

What a cool cat! And he has a whole tribe…😂😊!

[@troyellis1513]

HellCat!@@BluGuitar

[@Michael-h5e2k]

This is the man yngwie wishes he could be

[@BluGuitar]

Uli is Uli and Yngwie is Yngwie… I’m sure Uli inspired Yngwie… But that’s natural evolution in my opinion. ;-) My 2 cents, Thomas

[@jcmangan]

Uli basically plays on his own planet.

[@BluGuitar]

Yes…!

[@jcmangan]

Well, but Hendrix was developping his sound on a Fender Bassman, always cranked of course.

[@crusheverything4449]

Why should they talk bout Mathias?

[@dominusblandus]

Fun Fact: Uli John Roth könnte vielleicht der 251. greatest Guitarplayer sein... -_-

[@BluGuitar]

Yes

[@farocktobbal5113]

Not even one word about mathias jabs

[@BluGuitar]

Maybe I will do an interview with him one day…

[@odunhops7727]

da ihr beide deutsch seid könntet ihr auch deutsch reden und alle nicht deutsch sprechenden könnten um eine Übersetzung fragen. Der nächste Schritt wäre arabisch 😀

[@BluGuitar]

Wir unterhalten uns privat gerne auf deutsch. Aber international ist Englisch die meist verstandene Sprache… und das hilft - auch zur Völkerverständingung

[@WannDann2-cz6ms]

Roth wird überbewertet... als Gitarrist fantastisch... als Innovater oder Songwriter unter ferner liefen.... das macht EVH so herausragend. Wie gesagt, als "nur" E Gitarrist.. Weltklasse!

[@BluGuitar]

Ich glaube dass beide Ihre eigenen Stärken haben, und damit nicht direkt vergleichbar sind. Zweifellos ist EVH der Guitar Hero No.1 mit weit mehr als nur seine Trademarks wie tapping und harmonics etc. Gerade seine Riffs sind von super ausgefeilter rhythmischer und „melodisch orchestraler“ Cleverness. Uli hingegen hat sich mit Klassik, seinem Tone sowie Orchestrierung von Linien seinen eigenen Weg für seine Gitarre als Lead Instrument und im Kontext von Arrangements gemacht. Ich würde das einfach nebeneinander stehen lassen. Macht nicht jeder (Mensch/Musiker) schlußendlich nur sein Ding das dann die eigenen Blüten hervorbringt?😊

[@alexanderruppert1705]

Witzig, es gibt ja wohl niemanden der mehr überbewertet ist als EVH. Jedes Kind kann seine Sachen spielen. Da ist Uli definitiv in einer ganz anderen Liga, auch wenn nicht so viel hype um ihn gemacht wird
