Emotional Melodic Guitar Solo 2 by Stel Andre

[@lucasslizewski472]

I think the funny thing is that if this was played by Petrucci within a Dream Theater song or any of the other players we normally cite as the “greats,” it would be considered one of their best solos they’ve ever played. But because Stel is relatively unknown, he doesn’t get the recognition he deserves. His blend of technicality with emotion is definitely one of the most solid of any player I’ve ever listened to.

[@StelAndre]

Thank you so much my friend! I appreciate it bro!

[@zenithkonghar6089]

True but for those who love music we always have appreciation in our hearts. In my opinion there's no one better. For those who knows know it. Keep it up bro.

Absolutely true! STEL is so amazing im just blown away! John.

Couldn't agree more with you bro,,,,I fell in love with this song or melody 😍😍😍😍

[@israelrodriguez6986]

This is TRUE lead guitar or guitar soloing. Every note has a place and a time. Clear and precise. You just encouraged me to keep going. Stay humble my friend.

[@StelAndre]

thank you once again mate! keep rocking!

[@jijst5]

I always come back to Stel Andre, amazing musicality

[@StelAndre]

Thanks!

[@machinegunpreacher2469]

As Marty Friedman pointed out, this kind of solo is what demonstrates your true skill level. No shredding or speed-picking of any kind, no extra notes and noise to bury or cover up mistakes. In a solo like this, if one tiny thing is off, everybody catches it. This is truly a magnificent display of perfection that results from thousands on top thousands of hours of practice. And on a blasted Squier at that!!!!!!!! Excellent work, good sir.

[@imtinokchachangkjia5879]

As a Proud Squier Strat Owner I would like to say that this video really proves that no matter what instrument we hold a good player will always sound good. Nothing beats Hardwork and Passion.

note he is playing Squire stratocaster. if you're good you can make a $300 guitar sound like a $3,000 guitar.

I would love to learn how to play this style. It’s so crisp and clear in how he plays. I can watch his videos all day.

[@asb3pe]

Too many players fall into the "trap" of playing too many notes too quickly... In my humble opinion, the secret is just to "let the music breathe" - leave some space between the notes - silence is golden, just as golden as the notes are... Stel gets it, and it is simply gorgeous to listen to.

[@petey1071]

Recenlty found this on KZbin and must say I really enjoy how you play. I find myself watching this over and over again. Really nicely done!

[@EricBlackmonGuitar]

The second that I saw that bridge, I knew that was a low-end guitar. My next thought was "how in the heck is he making it sound like that?" Still wondering. This cat is good.

[@malcolmnaylor8381]

I am guessing he's probably changed out he pickups to something a little better. Even so it is amazing what you can get out of that squire.

[@serenityinsilence]

Malcolm Naylor he’s stated in other comments that this is the standard pickups. It’s actually a squire bullet which is a $200 dollar guitar. He gets this sound from a good amp and probably uses some sort of input booster and sustain pedal. I can get my squire standard to sound very similar, but I don’t get as much sustain as him.

[@malcolmnaylor8381]

Serenity in silence fair enough. Cheers Australia.

[@serenityinsilence]

[@StelAndre]

@@malcolmnaylor8381 Its all stock my friend. Havent touched anything on that cheap Bullet Strat and that is exactly what i like about that guitar.. sounds like that.. while costed 128 euros to be exact. My tone is surely affected byt the top notch Axe-Fx 2 unit but.. yeah.. guitar isnt that much important as far as tone.. its only for playability in my opinion. Its all about our fingers first and then amp and last is guitar.

I have owned guitars in the price range of $2000-3000, but my main guitar is a $120 Squier that I just have changed the pickups. No other guitar feels better or sounds better to me, not even an expensive custom shop. So there is some good Squiers out there.

[@xaj1543]

He is not playing a standard squire. The pickups have been changed out. It has 2 single coils and a humbucker rather than 3 single coils. I would guess the pick guard is new with all new wiring. Upgraded pickups and playing through a nice valve amp and there you go!
