Sykes is the reason that 1987 WS album was so sonically perfect. Well... that and Coverdale’s vocals

Crazy thing is John wasn't part of the original line up and played on a later album but single handedly defined the sound of Whitesnake and is sorley missed from the band since 1987.

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!

Sykes' vibrato is flat out sexy and yes...probably the best in the business. Really wish that him and Dave would have done more together. Despite their personal issues they were obviously a formidable & competent team. That being said Doug Aldrich was the next best thing. It's a shame that 15+ years went by before they hooked up.

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.

Good video Euge. People don't talk about John Sykes much, but he is a phenomenal player. The writing on the 87 album Whitesnake in rhythms, parts and changes was incredible stuff. I lost touch with what he was doing after Blue Murder, but this inspired me to go listen to his new stuff. As for him being a better singer than Coverdale? I'll just politely say both are great singers. But Coverdale has been a bigger influence on me as a singer.

@@EugeValovirta230V Lol. They are both awesome, but everyone has their own taste. Their similar in their vocal style and yet different. I think John really showed what he was capable of in Blue Murder. Those were some great tunes. I look forward to hearing his new stuff, same as I do yours.

Wish I could find a tokai like that one. It’s stunning. Love this video. It’s taken a long time to get my alternate picking anywhere near this, but it’s slowly coming together. I also like the fact that I have to use my ears to work out some of the parts you play rather than relying on tab. I must’ve watched this video 30 times at least

Euge, At the 8:04 mark with the G, D and A what is the pattern you're playing? You mention 4,2,1 but I never see you hit the 1 on any of those strings.
@EugeValovirta230V
@EugeValovirta230V 2 жыл бұрын
I didn’t notice me mentioning those things but it’s a pull off lick with G, D & A strings and the frets were 4-2-0 and 4-3-0 on the A string 😎. And resting your right hand palm lightly on the strings for harmonics 👌.

I think the words you were looking for when you said he obeys the guitar are he has an aggressive attack on the strings that is tight and sounds amazing.

Just to have a little theory geek out session here, in Em, the key sig is F#. C denotes a Lydian sound which has a #4 (F#) - not a b5 (Gb) moving up to the 5th of the chord G. Awesome playing and demo video of Sykes’ style. Killer job Euge.

Great video! Had me cracking up at 7:17 with that look after you pinched that note 😅also loved how you emphasized what a great writer he is. Having been a guitar player in bands back in the 80's I know how difficult it is to write a good riff/song, let alone a great accompanying vocal melody... and then to perform both also? Yes, guys as talented as Mr. Sykes are very rare indeed. I share your passion for him too... his playing, not actually him... you know what I mean.🤣(I always thought he sang better than Coverdale too)

Below, it is mentioned that Sykes is THE reason for the sonic perfection of this album. That is difficult to argue. Just to add: seems it is synergy where already great parts, became epic when together...in addition to the amazing riffs and roar. Saw them twice on this tour. Beautiful playing. Would have been nice to have KZbin vids like this in 87' to learn the parts more quickly. I only had to learn keys, bass, and vocals...the first two🤘, but Coverdale I was not then nor now. Again, fantastic playing and tone. That LP looks like a mini😉
