EUROPE - How To Play "SUPERSTITIOUS" (Guitar Solo) In Just 2 Steps

Thanks for watching and commenting! 🙏🎸

[@josearalat]

That's one of the best solos ever written!

[@AndreaMaccianti]

I agree with you, thanks for your comment!

[@kingfisher-theemptinessout3582]

Agreed!

[@rochcaserta]

Love to death this solo

[@theseptembersessions_music]

Best teaching video ever. Very helpful taking it part by part like this and slow it down. Perfect. Kee needs the respect he deserve for this.

[@AndreaMaccianti]

Hi Jesper! Thank you so much for your kind comment, too kind! I really appreciated! 🙏

[@ms9549]

2019 and I still adore this solo - who else?

[@AndreaMaccianti]

He is a normal my friend, for those who love good music! 😊🤘

[@aman-mn5kc]

Very nice! The mid sound on the original recording is kind of magic and even Kee does not remember the exact recipe: "I used a Marshall plexi, modified by Tommy Folkesson. L'Arriveé guitars - a strat and a tele + a sixstring acoustic. The mid boost, which was integrated in the head, was designed by Tommy Folkesson, Mats "Drutten" Gran and myself. This created the typical OOTW guitar sound, and I gotta say, I've never heard something quite like it. Almost the timber of a flute. Unfortunately neither Me, Tommy or Drutten recalls how we did this - I guess that secret is forever lost!"

[@AndreaMaccianti]

Thank you so much for the comment! Wow, the sound on the record is fantastic! In the web I read any, also used a graphic EQ etc ... this was just my attempt to recreate something done so many years ago by the great Kee :) I'm glad you enjoyed it!

[@emmanuelwolf6568]

Hi Emmanuel! Thank you so much! You are too kind! Much appreciated! 🙏

Awesome solo. Great video. I love when I watch videos like this without my guitar, and I think, I got this, then when I have my guitar I think, no I don't.

[@MichaelBrown-ny3et]

I watched a lot of people try to do this and this guy by far has the lead as close it can get. His actually hitting all of the notes if not more.

[@AndreaMaccianti]

Hey Michael! Thank you are too kind, I really appreciate it and I'm glad you liked it! I don't really see the sense of doing solos as close to the original, once I did it, now ... I don't give much importance to this thing anymore, so much the original will always be written by the original author, so in the end 😊 I have so many covers here on my channel, but I've always tried to put some of my playing inside. Thanks again! 🤘😊🎸

Thank you Fernando! You are very welcome! 🎸

[@ferpirata76]

Hello. Sorry to bother you. Just a little question. I mostly learned by myself because I cant afford classes. Pentatonic scales are the only ones I know. There are so many types of modes and scales that i,m going crazy. Could you please tell me which should i practice to play this great solo? Is pentatonic enough? Thanks for your time and don't worry, I wont send you more questions but I needed someone professional to answer me. Thanks and best wishes.

[@AndreaMaccianti]

@@ferpirata76 Hello Fernando! Do not disturb at all, ask what you want when you want :) I would suggest the minor scale and the major scale, maybe play them in all the keys, in order to become familiar with the positions on the whole neck. I hope to be proved helpful! All my best.

[@ferpirata76]

@@AndreaMaccianti thanks a lot, I will. Learning alone is difficult but I,m quite stubborn and already did lots of things by myself. Superstitious is an old time favourite so I hope I can get to play it some day. Thanks for your advice. You are very kind. Have a great and safe Christmas!

[@AndreaMaccianti]

@@ferpirata76 For certain things you have to be stubborn my friend! Yes in my opinion this is one of the best solos ever written in Rock music! It takes patience and perseverance my friend! Anyway, let me know, update me on the developments! Have a Merry and Happy Christmas and stay safe!

WOW!!! You nailed it perfectly 😁👌👌👌 This is one of the most melodic soloes ever created- Kee Marcellos masterpiece! - i’ve always wanted to learn this, but when it comes to the shredding parts, it completely stops 😅 Something I got to work, work and work on. This is the best teaching video i’ve seen- so I have a bit of practicing to look forward to! 😁👍

[@AndreaMaccianti]

Hello Kim! 😊 Thank you very much for the nice words! You are very kind! I am happy to know that this tutorial is useful for you to learn this solo which, as you said, is truly among the most beautiful ever written! Regarding the fast part it is just practical. If I can I allow myself to give you some advice, after having learned the positions, the notes of that passage, isolate that part and practice only on that. Start slowly and then speed it up. You will see that the results then arrive! 😊 Thanks again and good work! 😊✌️🎸

[@kim-andresandnes5749]

@@AndreaMaccianti Hi again! Sorry to bother you. But can I ask how long did you practice to make the big speed run at the end of the solo? I haven’t got any experience with shredding, but just double picking. I use a metronome, and i’ve can get the speed up to a ok speed, but still a long way to get to the solo’s intended speed. How long do you think I would have to practice?. I’ve listen to your advice to practice only sections of that run 🤘🤘🤘😊

[@AndreaMaccianti]

@@kim-andresandnes5749 Hey Kim! Do not disturb at all! The use of the metronome is essential. I recommend that you start by performing that passage starting from a speed of 60 BPM by playing it in quarters then one note per beat. Subsequently for eighths two notes per beat and finally in sixteenths four notes per beat. Otherwise only for quarters gradually increasing the BPM. The key thing is quality, you have to be able to hear every single note of that passage. Because if you do it fast but badly, you better not do it 😊 Keep me updated! For anything else, feel free to ask! Good work my friend! 🤘💪🎸

Hi! Thanks for your comment, I was pleased to read what you wrote but it's just practice. It takes practice. You suggest doing the hardest parts very slowly and you will see the results come!

la scala al min 5:22 è difficile pure fatta cosi piano, come posso impararla? ho imparato tutto da sto video, tranne quella. (Lillo)

[@AndreaMaccianti]

Ciao Lillo! Questo mi fà piacere, intendo dire sapere che questo video ti sia stato di aiuto per imparare il solo! Riguardo la scala, la cosa che ti posso suggerire (solitamente lo dico per tutti i passaggi veloci) é quella di dividertelo in più step memorizzando le posizioni eseguendolo lentamente. Una volta che hai memorizzato le posizioni, provi a farlo più veloce unendo appunto i diversi step! Spero ti sia di aiuto! Buon weekend! 😊🤘

Hello 😄🎸 I’ve once again did another try on this epic solo much based on your lesson. First time was a disaster 🤣 I’ve given this another shot about 1 year later, and this is my result now. To be honest there has not been a consistent training on the solo, but from time to time been playing it. Very glad if you have the time to listen to it and give me some feedback, I can handle rough honest criticism 😅👍 I know I don’t have nearly the same flow as you, but I feel i’ve come a bit closer to it. kzbin.info/www/bejne/aH2xeZaqlNybfacsi=F65FMlrpjotZAksb
