MICHAEL SCHENKER IS GUITAR GOD Ⅲ

THIS IS MICHAEL SCHENKER IS GOD
Genius guitarist
SAVE YOURSELF and Interview
Michael is called "God" in Japan.

[@stevodevo8193]

Michael Schenker is my favourite guitarist of all time he has to be in the top five in the universe!!!!!!!

[@vampyros1]

Michael Schenker is a genius..."Force It" is one of those recordings that literally changed my life...

[@michaelmonfils2642]

Michael's motivation has always been very simple: to learn how to express himself using the electric guitar. Nothing more; nothing less.

[@didikPF]

Starting from 3:33. Really a one - MAN - combo. One could listen through and through. He is really underrated. :-( We love you Michael :-).

[@mschenker2]

Thank you for the comment. Of course, Michael Schenker is not religious God. However, to a conjuror tone [ of an electric guitar ] sound, it was called the common name "God of a guitar" and was very popular in Japan. A sound is very Japanese liking. A guitarist thinks that he is not only a mere technique. I think that the melody which remains in the head is first.

[@diagreen]

HE HAS THE MOST PERFECT TONE.

[@AXEFLYERFV]

& recorded in LA,Hollywood around the release of Save yourself Album!

[@childofthemosthighgod1995]

When he says that he goes inside himself when he plays makes sense. He is a true artist! When one such as he is so gifted he is somewhat socially awkward. Not because he wants to be but the music is deep within him. Just like Hendrix, the music inside his head needed to come out. Its no different with Michael. Its there in his mind heart and soul and it takes him deep into himself that he doesn't realize that he is onstage performing in front of thousands. He goes to the depth of his soul baring all of him to us and gives us the most incredible music on his guitar!

[@vitalygolub9716]

Genius. One of a few

[@peskypesky]

he's going to be at Guitar Center in Manhattan today. 7pm. On 14th street between 5th and 6th avenues.

[@gesp5151]

A very special player, very rare talent - we are lucky to see this (may not feel that way at first!)

[@judasmetal80]

Wow I wish he would join Scorpions, and record a Kick ass album with many soloes Heavy Metal legend

[@abney20]

i can not find the tab anywher for the song "ANYTIME"!!!!! i LOVE THAT FREAKIN SONG and i'd love to find the tab for that song!!! anyone know where its at???

[@meowmeow1947]

Yeah 13 and still listening

[@btflash55]

he pushes the neck forward on the vee. the neck on gibson vees can shift easily,but you have to be careful you dont snap it. i personally broke a number of them before i wised up and had a whammy bar installed!

[@tennphotoraysanduski1752]

The Gibson Flying V has a much better/cleaner sound than the Dean V

[@chosenfool]

@HeavyAgecom It's more than a rumor. Rudolf himself said it, but it won't happen until after Scorps wrap up their farewell tour, which could go on until 2013 for all we know!

[@wave60]

I wonder if all the kids who listen to Rage Against The Machine, Slipknot, System Of a Down etc could even appreciate a guy who is so much more talented such as Michael Schenker. I'm glad I grew up on hard rock such as this.

[@SwissFrogGuy]

Another guy... ? How about the guy who pretty much started it, and everyone followed? Its one thing to technically master a copy of something already done. Its another matter altogether to invent.

[@MartyFriedmanRulez66]

I listen to SOAD , RATM, Slipknot, Cannibal corpse, goatwhore, mushroomhead, as I lay Dying, Killswitch engage, and other such extreme bands. But I also love Michael Schenker, japanese pop, led zeppelin, pink floyd, ozzy, jazz, and other such different types of music because it's all MUSIC all those bands you mentioned are all heavily influenced by Schenker as well as other classic artists. I'm not arguing the fact that MS is talented but to have the audacity to say that he's better then those

[@xuxis2008]

You should buy the first 5 records, they are masterpieces: MSG (1980); MSG II (1981); Live at Budokan (1982); Built to Destroy (1983) and Rock my Nights Away, live at Hammersmith Odeon (1984).

[@electriccrown615]

Assault Attack??

[@zodiacbluesbaby]

He speaks English with a London accent! Most Europeans speak American English.

[@diehard-schenker-fan7233]

THE MAN!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@theSpiritofTamzin]

He could do a LOT with those big hands too ... Did I just say that!? Bad Tania!

[@Rockandrollgeerage]

I respect yngwie but Schenker is so much more interesting

[@wave60]

Like I said in an earlier statement, to each his own. when you have kids, chances are you won't enjoy their music. It goes from generation to generation.

[@tmthord]

zz mike the best ever

[@janderson2000]

Neither are classically trained. ...but Michael devastates Yngwie anyway.

[@MartyFriedmanRulez66]

It's totally understandable. And perhaps I am being a little sensitive but as a musician I take music very seriously and I was quite insulted when you said your opinion (that MS is more talented then those aforementioned bands) like it was a written in stone fact.

[@baghiera]

@judasmetal80 I just bought Schenker's unforgiven album from ebay. Could you recommend some albums from Schenker? I love those slow , touching melodies of him =) Thank you,

[@crazytrain591]

thanks :D

[@Kheijjo]

It´s "save yourself".

[@wagtec]

Before there was and Eddie Van Halen there was this guy.

[@bremtremont2027]

Michael, Uli jon roth and Ritchie blackmore

[@metanoia1983]

@judasmetal80 he's the first lead guitarist of scorpions at the age of 15 with his brother rodolf,6 yrs older than him.

[@AXEFLYERFV]

Schenker has never been classical trained,he's self taught!

[@arjunkaul]

Dave Mustaine MUSTVE checked out Michael Shenkers solos! Holy Wars anyone? ;)

[@SwissFrogGuy]

I give you 30, and an attack of a mad axeman to boot. Like he said, he started it. Now, don't all me dumb, or, or, I'll put some MSG on you.

[@fraginat0r]

everyone tries to rip him off

[@JCMSlash]

@mssledge777 Thank You

[@HighMindedLunacy]

@FortisBong Be kinder than necessary, because everyone you meet is fighting some sort of battle., Don't judge . . . you never know what a person's story is . . . leave that up to God.

[@stevieVantanna]

at least MSG has a song on Guitar Hero Metallica now.

[@btflash55]

@HelmutVonSphincter Thats too funny! My feelings exactly!

[@Slears]

3:33 in da FACE..

[@janderson2000]

He didn't say anything assholish on this video...I don't know what you're talking about.

[@zr24X4ROCKS]

nugent said what?

[@lstevens35]

yeah that is taro,who is 23 now lol.......

[@wave60]

To each his own. In certain age groups, some people prefer the artists they grew up with. I think you are being a little sensitive here.

[@janderson2000]

lol woah...now that's funny

[@foogledoo32]

Troll fingers!

[@timjessa1]

who ever questioned he was a god ???

[@frost-80]

lol

[@vinskeeter]

Sorry, but UFO was even better with Paul Chapman's influence.

[@headlesssoldier]

he's really good. his chops are a litte bit different than everyone else. Great rock/metal player.

[@hillarysoldsaggytit8666]

Holy shit. I had no idea he could play with such speed.

[@xsited1]

When did he enter the witness protection program?

[@LoganStegall]

michael schenker is so fuckin amazing.

[@tasinhoschenker]

where did you find this photo in 06:22? OMG this is Rudolf and Michael Schenker before the 1st Scorpions album...

[@russhoward1]

For gods sake when did he record that 1988 or around that date , years a head of his time he even says "Is that enough" very underated but very famous but like a lot of people who are master musician's got a lots of problems , Check out the 1995 UFO album when he rejoins it is a masterpiece of guitar .

[@rapid287]

You must understand that schenker is classical trained musician while yngwie is not.

[@AXEFLYERFV]

The song is called "There has to be another way" from MSG SAVE YOURSELF Album!

[@vanbatio]

hes playing save yourself

[@L0stH0riz0n21]

I like the ending song, its sounds good.

[@mickycee64]

top 10 guitarist of all time ,hands down. god i love his feel,,,classic flying v

[@user-kt5jf1st3x]

И красивый и самый лучший гитарист! Написал много красивых незабываемых мелодий ! Мой любимый ❤!

[@lstevens35]

your insaneeee;anotherrr guy????he is not even close to just being another guy;he is the ruler of guitar Gods!!!get some knowledge before you talk bs!

[@lstevens35]

lol, there was nooo such thing as spray on tan back then dear.this is prob mid-80s.that is his real tan,he used to tan alot back then.

[@Katsem]

And some people say he can't play fast. He can play as fast he wants, or any way he wants. Great, great guitarist.

[@btflash55]

@badhorsee repeat after me malmsteen = totally repetitive!

[@crazytrain591]

what song is he playing at around 4 minutes?

[@GodChristLord]

M. Schenker is not God.

[@russhoward1]

Course he is ,he is taking the piss just like god you idiot

[@GodChristLord]

RUSS114 Thank you for such a classy comment.SMH

[@russhoward1]

Sorry I didn't want to offend your religious beliefs ?? Obviously he's is not the real god but in relation to that point in time his guitar playing makes him a god to most guitarists Is that okay

[@GodChristLord]

***** With that position, you are supporting a false idol.

[@Slears]

GodChristLord of course he is..in the Church of ROCK!

[@rapid287]

It's not about that who's faster because they are artists and playing totally different styles, Yngwie doesn't want to be the fastest in the world he's playing as he likes and if there is someone faster than him fuck it and for schenker's the same.

[@jerrymarshall2095]

rapid287 yngwie or whatever his name is seems like he took after uli jon roth to me

[@tmthy1012]

Why does he only use three fingers?

[@vanbatio]

A HHA... he used his pinky .27-.32

[@mschenker2]

The tune that flows by backing is "ANYTIME". Good tune .

[@pakdolan]

Great song, but a bit distracting over the interview I must say.

[@mschenker2]

Welcome. Ladies and gentlemen. The last tune is a tune that enters the album of "save yourself" that means "THERE HAS TO BE ANOTHER WAY ". Good tune .

[@GuitarManiac666]

He has better playing and solo skills then his brother and his brother better riff writing and melodic ballds stuff skills:P ALLAH U AKBAAAAAR BOOOOOOOM

[@theSpiritofTamzin]

You can say THAT again! And I think they are both STILL HOT AS HELL! Michael had those gorgeous blue eyes and that blonde hair ... SIGH!

[@evanr00]

I wonder if Swisgar is based off Michael. I can totally see it lol. "I am hows yous says...much more gooders than yous"

[@garfield2279]

LOL 0.30 "oh fuck"

[@HighMindedLunacy]

@FortisBong I dunno..if you were young, immensley talented, and drop dead gorgeous you may have had an ego too. I betting you would, I would. That is a hard combination to have and not be a little heady. Not saying he *was* arrogant but if he was maturing has a way of flushing that out of a person. From what I can tell he's grown beyond that. He never really did like the "limelight" anyway. A guy who has deep insecurities masks those feelings with drink-so he's not as arrogant as you think.

[@titurey2]

Once in a while one has to turn back in time, click on that bloody clip, and embark into 3:34 and get ones ears and mind blown into the illuminating riffs by schenker, get back, start anew, and it is just plain recommendable then, to better not stop banging your head up until your neck hurts. rock on ...

[@judasmetal80]

Yes i know that! I have all their cd*s. There are plans for a Chencker brothers cd, according to Rudolf scencker, after Scorpions are retired. keep rocking

[@The67flyingV]

Pozy Cowell good one Schenk, nice sense of humor, Cozy RIP. To all guitarist watching this video of Schenker riffing you can pick your jaw back up from the floor now.

[@HighMindedLunacy]

@judasmetal80 well he and his brother Rudolf plan on doing an album together once Scorpions retire from their current tour- should be a stellar piece of work.

[@gustavrea]

I bought one of their cd's at a yard sale and when I got it home I noticed it was signed by three of the bandmembers, cool shit but I have no idea what happened to it.

[@killybay2]

I think I saw Eric Clapton shining Michaels shoes during this performance.

[@turboneger2160]

michael always did great records. like them all

[@JCMSlash]

What song is it on the end ? i cant find it anywhere can someone help me that is an awesome solo

[@spike-rn3jn]

There has to be another way

[@turboneger2160]

yes man, thats definetly true!

[@THEMAIDENME1]

IT'S TRUE!!!

[@Marcelo-1996]

SCORPIONS AND MICHAEL FOR EVER

[@pallolollo]

My favorite Günther of all time :)

[@riffolaman]

I can't do that.

[@wave60]

No worries.

[@DoctorWho1983]

Pozy Cowell

[@Jpjh9]
