Was 16 when the 1987 Album came out. It is a masterpiece and John Sykes is the reason. WS didn't come to my town until 1990 when the lineup was Steve Vai and Adrian. Fast forward to 2015 and in my 40's decided to take up the guitar because of Sykes. The first song I learned from start to finish is "Is This Love" including the solo 1 year after I took up the guitar. Now I want my birth year 1971 Les Paul Black Beauty. Love Sykes!

I really miss good 80's rock guitar playing. The best players/songwriters took 50's electric (Chicago) blues, 60's British blues and rock & roll, 70's stadium rock and glam rock and fused it all together into something that, while upping the musicianship and harmonic complexity game, _didn't_ forget how to make you want to tap your foot, dance and cheer. And John Sykes was one of the best. This video is a good introduction to Sykes' licks, chords and approach. It's way better than a "put this finger here, put that finger there" lesson because it explains the _thinking_ behind the style. That analysis is so important to really "getting it." Thanks.

Great Video, good skills, I just bought an old Tokai Les Paul, loving it, as good as any Gibson I've played, when I get a spare few hours I'll be learning this, dunno who could sing it, my vocals are more Bonn Scot, than Coverdale, always the issue covering Whitesnake.

Thanks! Tokais are really high quality guitars indeed 👌.

I always describe Sykes as a combination of Randy Rhodes, and Gary Moore.

Closest playing to Sykes style I've heard. It's very hard to replicate his playing

It's a tricky one to play. I do it slightly different, not saying better or even correct lol. Great job on the solo and this fantastic song.
