Marillion - The Great Escape - Solo Cover - Steve Rothery

[@fernandoguerrero2179]

Wow! Congrats man, lots of feeling on that solo, that Strat sounds sweet! You nailed it. The Great Escape is one of my favs from Marillion. Cheers

[@Jameslive1]

Cheers mate, really appreciate that, one of my favs too, glad you enjoyed it!

[@stan1977k]

One of my favorite recordings of Marillion. My 50s progressive top Steve's solo is incredible and unbelievable. One of the best in our history

[@Jameslive1]

Totally agree! Epic song, one of my favourites.

[@unroclascap]

Bravo ,tout est là , le touché , la sensibilité, le son , MERVEILLEUSE reprise

[@Jameslive1]

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it.

[@AltinoSantos]

Great solo. Incredible! One of the best songs of my favourite band. (From Portugal)

[@Jameslive1]

Thank you! It really is one of their best although I’m working on a very close rival to be uploaded soon!

My hat's off and 'thumb up' to you for this, full of feeling, emotions, performance! Greetings from Poland.

[@Jameslive1]

Greetings from England! Thanks very much, glad you liked it, will be looking to cover some more of Brave at some point, probably my favourite album along with AOS.

[@richardgolub5297]

Steve Rothery would take his hat off to you buddy!! Beautiful job replicating a solo masterpiece, from the guitar master of emotive, gut wrenchingly beautiful, guitar solos. Every note has feeling and he weaves his solos around H's gorgeous vocals. You've hit it perfectly.

[@Jameslive1]

Thanks so much, means a lot and really glad you enjoyed it! More covers to follow!

[@richardgolub9269]

Some great opportunities for you from Marillon's latest album, a true masterpiece in my opinion. Care, Sierra Leone, The Crow and the Nightingale...all have some of Rothery's fine work.

I salute you, beautifully played. Love the finish on that Strat, I'd call it Buttermilk.

[@Jameslive1]

Thank you, glad you enjoyed it. Yep, it’s a nice finish, almost graffiti yellow in certain lighting - great guitar.

[@ianchapman6069]

Wow, you certainly have the gift of being able to bend notes just like Mr Rothery does. What a great cover, well played !

[@Jameslive1]

Thank you. Steve has a real skill with bending, especially when adding vibrato - it’s not easy! Glad you enjoyed it.

[@BeachHunter101]

Excellent job mate! I just want to tell you that Steve uses a capo on the 5th fret for this song 🙂 regardless you absolutely nailed it! Fantastic tone, I can tell you have studied Steve’s playing for a long time. Cheers!

[@Jameslive1]

Cheers! Glad you enjoyed it. Yep, didn’t have a capo at the time - would have made it easier!

[@marcioazeredo9067]

Congratulations for your video. Your Guitar preset is amazing. May I have it?

[@Jameslive1]

Thank you! Sorry, no longer use the GT, I think it was a plexi based amp, boosted by a DS1, lots of mids and the the usual reverb, delay etc.

[@marcosabreu6885]

Congrats !!! Perfect solo !!

[@Jameslive1]

Thanks, great solo to play!

[@AliKiani7887]

Nice job, well done...please tell us your gear, pickups, units and amp.tanx.

[@Jameslive1]

Thank you! Using a Fender Yngwie Malmsteen 80s Strat with EMG SA active pickups into a Boss GT 100 set to a plexi type amp then into a Roland JC 120 IR cab simulator, reverbs and delay are from the Archetype Plini VST, hint of chorus from the Boss, all recorded in Reaper.
