Uli J Roth is the most original guitarist ever.

[@sillennium]

+David Allen He is great that is for sure!

[@tcrane8630]

I like how he has no ego here. walks up, picks us the random guitar, plays unknown gear and is having fun. classy

[@sillennium]

+T Crane he was a nice guy, great player.

[@Nino4ek]

he's wonderful

[@YaoEspirito]

How many of the people walking around there know they're in the presence of a legend?

[@sillennium]

sadly not a lot

[@vampyros1]

You mean sadly not a lot.

[@sillennium]

Ummm yeah you are right.. My bad!

The German Jimi Hendrix!

[@Nino4ek]

yeah! absolutely!!! i had an honor to feel it with each and every cell of my body!!

[@OrestisTrips]

He sits down on a rig that has nothing to do with his and from the first note he plays you can recognise him effortlessly because he has so much sound on his own hands before any equipment kicks in. We can't thank you enough Uli for your masterpieces and your adorable personality.

[@sillennium]

***** Thanks man for watching the video. Uli was pretty amazing for sure! Don't forget to subscribe.

[@RICCARDOREARDON]

I WHOLE HEARTEDLY FULLY AND COMPLETELY AGREE...

ABSOLUTELY...

[@lefthand74]

Being the best guitarplayer on the planet and visit NAMM. Forgot to bring a pocket full of picks. Priceless.

[@sillennium]

Who needs picks when you at the Dunlop booth

[@pisuhoff2933]

You can see the kindness in that mans eyes

[@sillennium]

Yes he was very nice.

[@rubenramosjr.5334]

This video is from very long ago but, It came up in my feed again. So I’ll comment again. I wrote this in another comment here. Uli came to my home town (El Paso, Texas). Sadly this town is a little ignorant. He came to a bar, I think it’s closed now, but in Mesa street. Only About 30 to 40 people showed up. I was a little sad to see him play in such a small venue but… After the concert, he and the band came out of the bus and signed autographs and took pictures. Uli is so gentle, a very nice and down to earth man.

[@sillennium]

Nice

[@anthonybye6998]

How isn't there a crowd of 1000 around this legend?

[@sillennium]

Who knows

[@doglovemimijumable]

Uli "Can I have one?" Best complement you can get from a legend.

[@sillennium]

Yep

[@AsphyxGr]

Uli is still searching for different sounds and is able to apply his style in any of them. This is so rare for an old timer, shows a continuous will for development and exploration and that's one of the things that made him a legend.

[@sillennium]

Yep

[@leswadley6792]

One of the best.he has never been givin the credit he deserves.thank you for posting this truly awesome moment.

[@sillennium]

Les Wadley thanks so much man! It was just luck he stopped by and we were loaded and ready to record even with the GoPro. Sadly the battery on the GoPro died while he was playing but we got some good stuff.

[@MichaelSmith-xb5cp]

I love it when Uli plays guitars other than his sky guitar.

[@sillennium]

Thx for watching

[@aylbdrmadison1051]

I love that the first thing he wants is a super heavy pick, and how his playing reacts to each and every twist of a dial. And also... how Uli's love of (and inspiration by) Hendrix's playing is so evident here.

[@sillennium]

Lol

[@funkster007]

You can definitely hear Hendrix's influence on Uli, even if he's just noodling. Uli's a very creative player.

[@sillennium]

+funkster007 yeah he rocks for sure!

[@MickLoud999]

He married the last person to see Jimi alive. She actually wrote a song for the Scorpions...Monika Dannemann

[@rubenramosjr.5334]

@@MickLoud999 correct! The lyrics to "We'll burn the sky" are about Jimi.

Look at all those people walking by behind Uli and not even slowing down to look and listen to this legend play guitar. They have no idea who he is. So sad.

Dennis Smith he is a legend. Great player for sure.

[@benkleschinsky]

Could you see Clapton or Page walking to a random table at a guitar convention and start jamming to no audience? That’s what I love about Uli, he never let fame go to his head.

[@Nino4ek]

absolutely! when he was in Moscow last time my friend from the middle of Russia was running late to meet him before departure, and everyone was trying to hurry him up, but he just waited when that guy arrived, signed CD, took a photo, hugged us and only after sat in a van! absolutely easy going legend!

word! Glad you enjoyed it!

[@youngchool]

Ah, he is so unique and special. I like the way he has not changed since 1970s - his looks and passion for music. I wonder if he has ever collaborated with the late Ronnie James Dio the great (RIP). It would have been awesome. I have been a big fan of Allan Holdsworth. The end was so sudden... I wish the great musicians like Uli long life!
