Scorpions - Sails of Charon (Full Guitar Cover)

[@peddasoost1556]

i've been watching your covers for a quite a while now and i have to say every single one is superb every little detail is spot on your playing is just incredible sir. If you don't mind a suggestion for a future cover how about yngwie's overture 1383 i can't seem to find a cover of it and i'm sure you would nail that aswell. Greetings from germany🎉

[@ClassicSoloSpotlight]

Thank you Pedda. Overture 1383 is coming. Count on it.

[@JohnProph]

crazy how far ahead of everyone else he was back then. very unique player

[@ClassicSoloSpotlight]

Indeed.

[@CYON4D]

I agree.

[@edwardbenoit3890]

In my opinion Uli was the first neoclassical shredder. Love him!

[@Antony_SCORPS1205]

​@@edwardbenoit3890x2 brother :)

[@director2bob]

Still is today in my opinion.

[@خراخان]

Finest shred solo of the 70's, you can find some of the licks that would later be played by Malmsteen and Friedman here. Wonderful cover, and the intro is just very well done.

[@ClassicSoloSpotlight]

Thank you. Several key concepts in "Sails" laid important foundations for future players. Stay tuned for an analysis video.

[@GuitarGangsterArmi]

You mean you can find Roth licks in Malmsteen’s and Friedman’s work.

[@lenin_party]

@@ClassicSoloSpotlight would love analysis videos from you - between you and David Brewster over at LateNightLessons i've improved my playing by ear massively

[@خراخان]

@@ClassicSoloSpotlight That one would be great to see. Keep shreddin'

[@خراخان]

@@GuitarGangsterArmi Definitely what I meant 😅. You can find the original licks here. I should have said Uli's licks. I edited it to be more factual.

[@domtanko7160]

I always regarded this song as Germany's answer to Deep Purple.

[@bmxb4586]

Brilliant

[@ThinsofWheat]

I’d tweak it as Germany’s answer to Rainbow. Meine’s really channels his inner Dio

[@manow4011]

Jesus shed a tear listening to this.

[@johnnyRandomadness]

Nobody played licks like this really other than uli. So incredible for 1977.

[@ronhana99]

Peter, rock'n Sweden with accurate covers of some fantastic guitar players. Your students are lucky to have a great guitar teacher. 🎸

[@ClassicSoloSpotlight]

Thanks mate

[@paulrobichaud7410]

This Peter Lidström is quite amazing !!!

[@ClassicSoloSpotlight]

Thank you

[@jamesmatthews4435]

I'm acually going to have to come back to this in order to comment properly. As a massive Uli fan, this is something else. Fantastic is not going to do you any justice . Jesus

[@ClassicSoloSpotlight]

Thanks again. Feel free to leave suggestions. I'm thinking yellow raven right now.

[@cybermanne]

This is an amazing song. For sure one of Scorpions and Ulis best. And you really nailed it. The guitar tone is even spot on as far as my ears can make out. I really enjoyed this!

[@HumanScourgeYT]

Sickest guitar intro ever!

[@robby188]

The best version on KZbin!!! Congratulations

[@davespin9034]

Just such a unique song, using a solo as the rhythm. 🎶 you can’t get it out of your head

[@briansalerno3773]

Absolutely great guitar playing one of the best I’ve seen!! Scorpions one of my favorites Thx for the vid. Bri/ cal.

[@ClassicSoloSpotlight]

You're very welcome Brian. Cheers

[@K4Ksyrd]

very smooth. great work. congrats.

[@antoineprostguitar]

one more great cover you've made Peter !! this intro is fabulous like the Uli's guitar playing. Félicitations

[@ClassicSoloSpotlight]

Merci Antoine. Yes, that intro was the hardest part of the song. That 12-fret octave slide ... à la prochaine

[@teamtempest844]

Awesomeness...

[@Ashanath-Music]

Amazing as always, Uli definitely one of the greats. I love little savage. You kicked ass.

[@ClassicSoloSpotlight]

Thank you!

[@MrMalambing]

Pure awesomeness dude 🤪

O melhor guitar cover de 'Sails of Charon' sem sombra de duvidas, namoral

[@richardperusse4299]

wow....super, also including the quiet end chords ....yeah ....

[@TheTahoe1982]

Best cover so far

[@DiegoSanjorge]

This is by far one of my fave youtube channels. Always amazed by your content. Also love how good you explain the gear used on the description box. Cheers amigo

[@ClassicSoloSpotlight]

That's great, glad to hear it's helpful!

[@comethl]

Τhat black and white strat , with the maple neck and the black background.... Great job man! Uli ( i have seen him recently in a gig here in Thessaloniki) , Blackmore and Schenker are my favourite players.Keep playing man🎸🎸🎸

[@peternemes6770]

Hats off brother! That was simply amazing!!!!! You nailed it realy perfectly, but both of us know, to WRITE/CREATE a wonderful musical piece or to cover/copy it, in between there is a huge difference. Of course that is not about you, you have done your job absolutely perfectly, and - tho I saw you actually for the first time - I will push the subscribe button. 👍 And it's realy not 'cause I' m Peter too. 😂😅

[@Stormwoken]

Your covers are ridiculously precise and well-played. Loads of finesse and touch 👏

[@Tomislavski]

Fantastic

[@emre1466]

Wooooww🤐 super tone and play 🤤

[@Chester_Cheese]

Brilliant interpretation, Peter. Beautiful intro/prelude, as well. As always, thank you for the time you took in learning and mastering this, and the care and detail you put into producing/recording and sharing this with us.

[@ClassicSoloSpotlight]

My pleasure. And I think you know what's coming next ...

good sound bro. perfect tone

[@ClassicSoloSpotlight]

Happy to hear that, thank you.

[@deathound98]

Awesome! Would love to see you playing something from Electric Sun, like Burning Wheels Turning or Chaplin and I

[@ClassicSoloSpotlight]

Somehow his solo stuff and vocals never clicked with me. But I heard one incredible piano instrumental on one of those records ... I'd love to try it on guitar

[@zaadworks]

Amazing cover, for sure the best one of this music so far. Thanks for your hard work and for bringing us this masterpiece! It's not "Pictured Life" but still one of my favorites XD

[@zaadworks]

Also I would like to say that I loved that you did the ending of the music just like the original, it's amazing!

[@ClassicSoloSpotlight]

My pleasure. I had a feeling you'd like it ;-) Yes, that ending is probably my favorite part.

[@samuelalves6265]

[@Zunder77]

Great execution ! Any chance we will be seeing Malmsteen's Perpetual covered anytime soon? Please? Cheers

[@ClassicSoloSpotlight]

Not likely... I do like it but I'm trying to focus on the early material

[@Zunder77]

@@ClassicSoloSpotlight Thanks for all the efforts you put into this material, and they are obvious and clear. Probably that is why I have requested Perpetual. It can't be found anywhere on the internet covered with such attention to details and accuracy. The other selfish reason it that it is my favorite epic instrumental due to the consistency of its phrases. I won't give up hope for may be in the future you will surprise us all with it. Cheers.

[@ClassicSoloSpotlight]

@@Zunder77 No worries. I've covered it before for my students. I would love to do it here if I get the time, because his tone on F&I is incredibly good, it was recorded here in Sweden. So we'll see.

[@Zunder77]

@@ClassicSoloSpotlight Much appreciated !!

[@Freawulf]

@@ClassicSoloSpotlightAny chance to revisit some of his really early demo material from mid/late '70s 'Powerhouse' and early '80s Rising Force, before he left Sweden? That would be really cool! :D Congrats on your really amazing content, btw!

Aucun modèle, c'est un "Partscaster". Je l'ai assemblé moi-même.

I like how you don’t show your face. The presentation is perfect.

Great to hear. if you like the "no-face" thing, you can thank the guy in the YT channel called "shut up and play". That's who I got the idea from.
