Deep Purple - Highway Star Solo Cover

Here is my version of the legendary solo from Deep Purple's Highway Star. I could never really get the part end the end down the way Ritchie Blackmoore plays it, so I did it my way...;) hope you like it!
Like all of my other covers, recorded with Line 6 Pod XT Live and my Stratocaster "Sandra".

[@anthonypost8214]

After hours of deep contemplation this may be my favorite guitar solo of all time from any rock song.

[@Blockoumi]

same. It's such a simple basic solo but something about it gives me chills

[@crunk8818]

Burn by deep purple is just as good especially the organ solo at the end is just perfect

[@Blockoumi]

@@crunk8818 if you like "keyboard/organ" solos, you should try the roundabout solo and the close to the edge solo

[@YuvalGnessin]

This one is great but Burn is even better

[@jarongittinger]

@@Blockoumi Also in the prog rock vein, i think my favorite guitar solo of all time is on The Knife by Genesis played by Anthony Phillips, that private school boy can rock!

[@adrianmjade]

Guitar isn’t a competition, music is about expression and if tapping feels right then he has every right to do it

[@eleazarmilka5596]

You are right..and many peoples complaining about the tapping🤣🤣🤣

[@sirspongadoodle]

stop defining the definition of something. it can be for anything if people wanna compete let them. stop gatekeeping.

[@ollytherevenant1653]

@@sirspongadoodle Accusing someone of gatekeeping when their point was that the dude in the video was expressing himself and adding his own flair…real nice man

[@AzizDoufikar2280]

@@sirspongadoodle Just be quiet.If you don't like this cover,then go watch other cover.

[@sirspongadoodle]

@@AzizDoufikar2280 i do like this cover i just dont like people saying that you cant do something just because they personally dont do it.

[@ags5696]

Why are people complaining about the tapping? He's adding his own flair!

[@ZiPolishHammer]

Cuz it doesn't sound correct. If it sounded like the original no one would care

[@FlanzShirt]

From a technical standpoint its much less difficult to tap.

[@CanIgetsubscriberswithvi-ol9be]

ZiPolishHammer is a cover stupid

[@azmanazmanudin7981]

Yup... U like u do... Simple

[@chutsebssebastianpassos7420]

Because is a fucking sacrilege to play that part like that

[@chabap]

I liked the tapping solution!

[@9CaratPurple]

Fantastic. I especially liked the tapping part which adds a really interesting new dimension to this classic solo. Well played indeed.

[@faridshoai7201]

This was great. Now I feel vindicated whenever I tend to hammer-on on the last part of the solo thanks.

[@everysingleguitars]

Great cover man. All the haters here are probably the ones who can't even play the solo themselves....... that's usually how it is

[@Nopulu]

I can, that's why I think the tapping instead of speed picking is weak. The speed picking is objectively better sounding and takes more skill. Just the way it be. If you post something on the internet, except feedback

[@MR-oo5gy]

@@Nopulu how?

[@juanfranciscovazquezfeijoo1984]

There are minimum other 2 Girls whose covers are much better than this one.

[@MR-oo5gy]

@@juanfranciscovazquezfeijoo1984 that’s cool but I don’t remember asking 😎

[@Girwane]

The haters probably cant even play guitar at all

[@Renatino_777]

love when someone mak a solo in his own terms and make sound a little bit different!!! Great cover....speed+spicy...glorius....

[@ivanmf3443]

Man, your guitar is freaking cool! And I think the effects you used really suited the song. Congratulations!

[@juliobaldini1986]

I love how personal is your cover. This personal touch is your signature! Nice! Love it.

[@gameon2000]

This may be the coolest cover ever made!

[@Hexa2210]

It's so entertaining and relaxing to watch your music. I like that!

[@olivier42100]

cool distressed strat ... looks a bit like my granpa's toilet seat cover but better sounding ;o)

[@displayfireworks1]

That is too funny. LOL

Rory gallagher had a strat like that.

Good to hear the guys play. Good piece of axe, man!!

[@chrisedwards9862]

That was epic - bravo 👏🏻

[@pierreb6637]

Very good feeling & skill, very well done !

[@editortexas]

Works for me! Good job! I like when someone can add their own touch without straying too far off course!

[@leftfield70]

Superb cover. I'm currently learning this and think I'll incorporate your tapping. 👍👌

[@tayron27]

That tone is sweet! Well done.

[@SpeedKingHighwayStar]

Nice rendition and nice tone, apart from the tapping (visually different but sonically quite similar) it seems pretty close to the master TMIB himself. Its a thumbs up from me, well done mate.

[@VLombardi01]

Thanks for sharing! That was awesome!

[@seanahern529]

I agree it’s a great idea to add tapping it sound just like it and it makes it easier to play

[@zombiezilla]

Love the solo. Rock on!

[@steve14437]

Well done. Nice tone, great playing! Thanks for sharing. It encourages me to keep practicing...

So great playing:)

[@TurquoiseArmies]

@benmols Hi! I will definitely do this (probably next video!). I get to many questions about my guitar and gear, that I figured it might be worth making a video of them! Can't promise when it's going to be up, but I will try to make one soon!:)

[@mgr980]

Exactly what I was thinking...The "triolets" are what make that part so brilliant...

Sucks when you accidently put tape on your strings

I loved it!!! It is my favorite part of the song!! Congrats!! Now in slow motion? I want to learn it too!! ;)

[@nickpayne1641]

You can slow down videos on youtube. You can also download video loopers on google play that can loop sections and slow them down.

[@GerryBlue]

I actually like the tapping, good job

[@willpeters-seymour5608]

Don't need to tap that bro alternate pick

[@alexmuscalu8439]

.

[@willpeters-seymour5608]

That's true but it's pretty easy for me and this guy is good! But yeah I see where ur coming from

[@charliepeebles]

+Alex Muscalu The alternate picking part isn't that hard, my friend, it just takes practice. Work at it an hour a day for two or three months and you'll be able to play it. Be sure to pick out every note to sound just like Ritchie, don't be tempted to hammer on as a lot of people seem to do.

good sound and playing.

[@nemkin11]

[@joshuaconovermusic1441]

Dude the tapping sounds good. People are hating on what is otherwise really well played even if you don't like the tapping.

[@MorganskiFTW]

Dude i don't think it's hating, it's more like disappointed. He almost got it until the tap. I mean, his solo and tone is great. But that's the trick for Highway Star, it's the challenge of learning and sounding like it's in the record. The song is a National Treasure for Rock n' Roll.

[@William__ssr]

the only wrong part was the tapping one, since it's originally played and looks better with the tremolo picking. but everything else is perfect, best cover on yt

[@ivaj4354]

mannnnn just let him jam his own way, tapping sounds cool

[@Zombie3746]

Perfect.. I Lo e U Personal Style..

[@hadrianaugustus6448]

the tapping is cool frick all the non playing bozos who say otherwise keep rocking
