As a fellow guitarist, i give you the the same compliment my best guitar student gave me once. He said "some guitarists can shred well. Some can play with feeling. Some can improvise well. But to be able to do all three is the rarest and most beautiful gift of all, that's why you rock" well done bro, and thanks I truly enjoyed that.

[@Wallimann]

+reema1991 Man, thank you so much!

[@sibasishgiri560]

+reema1991 best comment... (Y)

[@Somewhere-in]

I agree but yet he's not made it - he's not a famous axeman or musician. Many with less skills make it in music because???????

[@irmaztamal21]

+Andrew Watt if you really love music... it is not about fame but passion. impress yourself before others.

[@stephendurrant5790]

money. And friends of friends... It's unfortunately true

[@TheHauntedPotato]

ayy lmaeolian mode

[@michaelenochs5024]

TheHauntedPotato So what's the last 5 or 6 mean?

[@111chazz]

The scream at 03:49 after frustration at 03:44 hit the nail mate, from a place we've all been I'm sure.

[@martincaz7772]

Had same thought, and feeling.

[@forprogress999]

The build to the screaming note and the tension release should give any musician goosebumps. 🤘

[@ronm3671]

lol,...😁 Its all About expessing a mood or a Feeling. It could be an expression of a sex scene in a porn film or a man climbing a mountain.... Whatever! as the expression Goes.. 😁

[@mikefromburn]

proper guitar solo faces being made there

[@dada402]

sounds like the music that plays during Cinemax soft porn scenes.

[@illfather7066]

dada402 lmao....it does...i was asking myself "is the door locked"?

[@marcoantoniotorres4924]

Brandon knott Wouldn't want someone to come to your room and say: "WHAT THE HECK ARE YOU DOING!" as they read that comment.

[@michaelenochs5024]

Or like an 80s action movie where the main characters girl dies and he's pissed.

[@neilgroves3592]

LMAO........

[@DangKhoaGuitarist]

you are absolutely amazing, can you share TAB pls? only the INTRO is ok too

[@esdortcho8314]

This is why the Aeollian mode is my favorite! Sounds so good when mixed with a pentatonic/blues. Instant 80's awesomeness!!!!

[@DeathcoreGandhi]

I could have this on repeat for hours...

[@jimbob20051]

Same here! This is easily the best thing I have listened to :')

[@ayanshashwat]

deathcore gandhi..... alright

[@tony69em]

Me too

[@brcarter1111]

I was watching for about 4 seconds when i realized my hand was subconsciously moving towards the like button

[@hywel4605]

mine went to my air guitar.

[@anintatej]

Brett Carter my hand moved to play slide on my instrument...

[@raredesign]

Excellent! I love the sound...very Satriani-ish :-)

[@graylyhen9490]

coming back to this after two years, it's still one of the best solos I've heard

[@JackRosei]

yepp, awesome one

[@hoidoei941]

100% true

[@pedrotavares8691]

This guy is really a great guitar player & superb musician....How come nobody in the "businesses" notice it?......It's really a shame.......BRAVO DAVID.!!!!!

[@Wallimann]

Thanks!

[@jameshood4444]

Pedro Tavares I agree. He should be on stage making huge money.

[@qbttf]

I get a warm fuzzy feeling in my stomach knowing that I've enrolled in a course you have called guitar infusion. Great stuff David !

[@billubundy8618]

sir this is better then steve vai!!

[@damnw1234]

Your guitar seems speaking no wait its not, its preaching. That sound of feeling can break the stony hearts. Wow amazing, i long to play just 10 % of yours, backing track plz

[@MakePizzaGreatAgain]

aspiring guitarist here --soooo good i literally shed tears when i listen to it and ration out the times i do just to inspire myself !! TOTALLY AWE INSPIRING !!

[@Wallimann]

+Charles Robson thank you so much!

[@gabrielecalcinari]

soulfull.....id like to play this...standing on the top of a high building in a big city...with fog...and tears from my eyes....waiting for my lady...and waiting for the new daylight...

[@RasheemH]

Gabriele Profound man..

[@pauljannone123]

Nice tasteful playing, I enjoyed listening!

[@willygoat4113]

Once a year I come back to this video for the nostalgia. I used to listen to this in high school class instead of paying attention.

[@phyrose]

Incredible performance, how many years playing? Your tone-phrasing-vibrato sounds awesome, I've been playing for about 8 years and my vibrato still suck (maybe is my string gauge?)

[@Wallimann]

Thank you so much! I think I was about 15 when I started? So about 22 years.

[@phyrose]

Wow I still have time then!

[@MichaelLynMusic]

+Don Redips ....Try practicing on a Acoustic gtr and learn how to play a "correct" Slur. It is an un natural but logical strength excercise and it is the 45lb curls that will have you doing hammer-ons and pull-offs like Ed Van Halen

[@JimboSolo]

See my new improvisation on this backing track , kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZojbiXp8q6yle8k / Thanks David.

[@PaulLue]

@jonny David is having a summer group class on Justin tv. It's amazing! He covers everthing important from music theory to rhythm, phrasing, scales. Highly recommend if he does another session. Sessions are held once per week for a month.

[@chickenoncheese]

Liked, Favorited, added to my "music" playlist, shared .... and replayed :) GREAT JOB!! very deeeeppp! lots of feeling!!

[@ZIKHRIVIDEO]

I was able to feel ... music and ibanez guitar brand is the best.

[@christianscazzieri]

This gave me chills. You play with your heart, good stuff man, really good stuff. Play on bro.

[@jackj8238]

Sweet.. Love the feeling you put in it. This is what music is all about...emotion... Great work.. Thanks David.

[@Capulus10]

when is your next concert??? great stuff man!!!

[@wallievisser2051]

awsome awesome that moved me graet guitar playing graet teacher brilliant guitar player davewalliman rocks

[@chickenoncheese]

second time listening .... XD man this is epic!!! it's so deadly!!

[@chetony3531]

this solo i listen a many many times since in 2012 to now

[@ioannisdenton]

Really now, that was SO great!! you took your time and di not try to play fancy!!! and that shows!!

[@rampage222555]

amazing, and great track. though I wouldnt necessarily put it in the metal section of the website

[@iKindaSmell]

Thanks to you, I will never look at Wallimann the same way. He will always look like LaBrie now

[@skubee23]

Love the tone! What settings do you have on your delay if you don't mind me asking?

[@TheMasterfulcreator]

from now on when someone asks me what good phrasing is i'm linking them to this video

[@adamrspears1981]

Would that Aeolian happen to be based from the Natural minor (A-B-C-D-E-F-G) ?

[@Wallimann]

Yeah, they are the same scales!

[@klausphx]

Very Cool Jam, That's one of my Favorite Modes it Expresses a lot of Emotion and Energy more so than Blues but that's my Opinion.

[@victorle6485]

Everytime I think about givin up guitar I come back here for inspiration

[@terryowings9469]

me too ..Awesome

[@Ajieputra19]

I dunno James la brie can play guitar very well....

[@luizjanela]

Great work! Create more stuff like this, put a name and make a record! It'd be great!

[@DragonSuushi]

Very tasteful playing. I think this is one of my favorite's of you.

[@skippy6924]

Hey man, just wanna let you know that each time I listen to this, it never gets old. Really man. It honestly is amazing with all the different techniques you used, especially them bends dude. I also love the faces you make when you bend the string right to the pitch you want haha ;). Do you do any tutorials on stuff like this? I'd definitely pay to learn something like this.

[@A22by7]

Amazing solo, brilliant tone! Loved the swells in the start, really caught my ear when I heard them. Great job!

[@SamBellGuitar]

really really nice!

[@Alexiaden93]

Remonded me of Crying by Joe Satriani. Great track and playing! :)

[@houseofhurricane983]

You're amazing man!! Respect

[@Gledii]

waaaw, such a nice tone Dave!!! some parts reminded me DAvid Gilmore.... any beginners Contest for the AXe FX 1? 0,5 ? heheheh

[@KyleSherrington]

Beautiful...I truly appreciated that

[@derflegne]

Good stuff Ive watched this several times. Really enjoy it.

[@Laura11001]

Amazing! Just the kind of emotional guitar solo I was looking for.

[@cakarotcakarot4483]

feels like I'm waiting for some Greek food

[@worldindusa]

God damn man, this is beautiful. Shred on, brother!

[@dago6410]

What to do, if someones fav. scale is the aeolian :C? I just love it too much! help me :)

[@Wallimann]

+Dago 64 nothing wrong with that! :)

[@miachevydude]

Awesome playing my man!!!I love the tone and feel...really cool!

[@iamarrow]

2:44 was so orgasmically tasteful and soulful .... i am thinking of Neal Schon (Blue Passion tone) but it's dave walliman

[@haruglory6890]

this is James LaBrie playing guitar!! :D Nice man!!

[@AlexMcshred6505plus]

love this! sounds like a mix of Vai and early DT!

[@bluefoxnl]

WOW, beautiful tone, awesome play, thnx.

[@MrZlic]

Dude.. my favorite solo in the whole history!!!

[@sammyjwtiet]

This is so damn amazing, chills all over, thank you!!!

[@robertobaldizon8206]

Thanks Dave for this music. Wonderful ...very inspiring. Bravo.

[@maxiescalante4961]

SImply beautiful!

[@billlandon2160]

Dynamic to the extreme and pristinely clean :) Love it. Great tone too

[@PaulLue]

Awesome!! How is the album coming along? Just finished reviewing the info from this weekends class, which was amazingly educational. Cant wait for the phrasing this weekend. The classes have really opened so many musical doors for me. Thanks!!!!!!!!!

[@skubee23]

Dude, I love the tone on this. How would I re-create this tone with just pedals?

[@anointed01]

The GFractal FX are beautiful!! Well played, thanks for sharing

[@AeroMetalMoe]

i have to say this one was outstanding! one of the best videos you ever have ever made!! perfect tone, awesome solo!

[@soolan11]

Very impressive playing, "love" the reverb (big fan).

[@fjosip1]

feels like an awesome trance :D Love the screamig bends especially the one at 3:49

[@sargekowalkowski8572]

AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@MrCurly210]

2:40 fucking delicious

[@notimeforlove5807]

may know the chord progression and what mode you used

[@gavinreid8351]

Notime Forlove minor scale

[@acousticmania1883]

awesome , loved it !!!!!!

[@jimbob20051]

I am in a trance with this, oh my god kids this IS how you play guitar!! This guy has now topp r my favourite guitarist list! Could you possibly release the backing track that you used? I would love to try and play a solo like you one day! :D Honestly haven't stopped head banging it's great! A subscriber well deserved!

[@123jozef]

I can't imagine watching this if I were a beginner.... I've been at this for over 40 years now. I can see and feel what is being played... with my eyes closed.. . and for that I am thankful. I began to be able to do that long, long ago, but even moreso now... I could be walking down a busy street and hear an intervallic jump... and Ill want to go see where the sound is coming from... or someone in a store humming in a Harmonic minor mode... just blows me away... they are usually from another country... and they are just humming what is ingrained in their brain. The same with diminished or whole tone scales. You don't hear them often, but when you do, you almost stop in your tracks... like a pointer-dog looking for its prey. Dunno if anyone can relate... but it took years... and years... of "listening" and of course, playing. These younger guys today like Dave are all over the internet playing with such advanced feeling and regard to musicality. Back in "the day" we had Eddie Van Halen... maybe Frank Gambale in his early VHS days.... maybe "ten years after" .. point is; we didn't have what you guys have today with KZbin. Consider it a blessing to all aspiring guitarists to stumble upon something like this.

[@ZenDrifting]

when the days are dark this really helps making everything more awesome! you've inspired me to start recording as well a while back, great solo as always!

[@jewelhuda4894]

I'm a kind of elementary guitarist. I've never listened to such an extra ordinary guitar playing in my life!

[@TheOriginalBillyYO]

Please send link to backing track the one in description ain’t working! This is awesome

[@Wallimann]

Here is the link (you need to sign up for free!) www.guitarplayback.com/courses/youtube-sessions/lectures/11313766

[@TheOriginalBillyYO]

David Wallimann thank you very much! You’re a legend dude. And you’re one of my main inspirations on KZbin. You can play man 🦅🎸🔥

[@dgchaos06]

David! This is amazing. Great phrasing. Great tone. Damn.

[@midnightrider7531]

Still in love with this solo!!

[@evanwarsify]

Love the volume swells at the beginning.

[@Torn80cj]

Wowww! Love this, very well done, and so expressive. Love how it builds up each time through out the song.

[@ricardolopez7866]

Excelente! Impecable.

[@juniormcjunior523]

HOLY MOLY........AWESOME!!

[@saurabhkesharwani6143]

Hi! David, I really like this music! 👌🏻 ...as compared to all those that I’ve searched among KZbin videos, to soothe my nerves. Well! I don’t understand the language of guitar, not having any music background. I am wondering do you teach or give lessons? 🤔 And, what does Aeolian mean? Is it the style of music been played, or the type of guitar? (From India) 🙂

[@AntoineZimer]

David je crois que c'est la première fois que je commente l'une de tes vidéos, il fallait non seulement que je te félicite pour tes vidéos très utiles et ton jeu extraordinaire, mais aussi te remercier car tu as eu une grande influence dans mon choix d'acheter l'Axe-Fx II, que j'ai reçu aujourd'hui. En plus tu partages tes presets, que demander de plus ? Un grand bravo et merci encore pour ce que tu fais pour nous ! Continue de nous faire rêver !

[@BETTO888]

wonderfull feeling

[@jasongoldfinger9041]

dude.. You are an AMAZING guitarist. I just stumbled upon your videos, I'm glad I did. Simply superb man \m/\m/\m/\…/\…/\…/

[@im2tall1972]

Awesome. Of all your pieces I've heard; I think this is my favorite.

[@xhibitdesign]

I'd like to find a patch for my Eleven Rack that would be comparable. Of course I'd like David's ability too. Any suggestions for the first?

[@vincej151]

You should publish this as a chargeable mp3, but high sound quality, not ITunes. I would buy it and play it in my car endlessly - brilliant good. Reminds me of David Gilmore !!

[@1N2themystic]

sounds fuckin awesome. satriani relied on aolean and lydian modes pretty heavy,which this sounded very satriani-esquein places. nice bro. been watching some ov your vids. most teach beginner shit you could learn from any Mel bay book. you teach for the intermediate to advance to advanced from what Ive seen. subscribed now I Am,hmm. (lil Yoda speak is always respectful)

[@janicetracy1295]

What kind of delay did u use? Thanks so awesome playing. Tom Tracy Ohio

[@trainer520]

wow i was sitting here on my computer going through some andy timmons stuff and decided to look up some other really emotional and totally underrated players! needless to say i listened to this and it seemed as if as if the world stopped for a few minutes to show us something truly amazing that put feeling and emotion back in are life.. thank you sir.. there are so many underrated musicians in this world.. hopefully this lets you know your appreciated.

[@GiordanDrago]

I love that type of playing!

[@jaimathewc4]

Sounds like David Gilmour's playing. But a good combination of various styles. Enjoyed it well bro.

[@Superjet113]

I still have my RG920 Black ice, play it daily! and second, this playing and solo is just the bomb Mr. Wallimann! Thanks again!

[@JDeligero]

Hey David, Since The backing track Is in key of G/Em and the scale you're playing is G/Em... Won't that be the Ionian Mode?

[@fractalife]

Awesome and feelingfull (sorry my bad english, but you got I mean :-) ) may you share what guitar pedal/pod you using and what the setting for very clean notes at intro? thank you

[@adambyoung]

Beautiful man!!
