I love Journey and Neal Schon!!!

Definitely

[@rogerkeime2862]

i saw neal with bad English on the second album tour. then i saw him with hardline in a place called confettis in Albuquerque where you could literally see the sweat from the band it was so close. got to see the unique stylings of neals playing.im not just saying, but neal is as good as any guitarist ive seen. ive seen adrian vandenberg twice, vivian campbell, steve vai, eddie vanhalen, and other guitar gods. neals right there with them.

Unfortunately he could never be a "Sir" because he is American.

[@BalderBorador]

Excellent job! It's so nice to hear his last name pronounced correctly! No use of AI either! Stay original like you are! You gained another subscriber! ✌🏼

[@greatguitaristoftherockera2833]

Thank you.

This is great ...wonderful good to see someone put up a great documentary on Neal schon thank you Neil Schon is a guitar God

[@greatguitaristoftherockera2833]

Thanks for watching and the comment. He’s my favorite guitarist.

[@davidstock2713]

Schon only guitarist that provided in home personal studio performances, during stay home covid arrival. Displayed couple his floyd equipped strats, I mentioned those are stellar. Approx 20-minutes later, schons response message was Love em". Then Neil being Neil, began to provide his extraordinary runs within these strats. When I mentioned runs from schon, they definitely are not boring runs, these runs are off, any chart runs.

[@greatguitaristoftherockera2833]

Yep and he’s still doing videos when not on the road.

[@Mydream-DSB]

I don't know how Neil was with bad English or Santana, but he is an ALL-STAR with journey, not that I don't likeJourney now, I just loved the days of him and Jonathan, Steve Smith, Ross valory ,& Steve Perry, all of THEM were so magical 🪄 together, Neil is truly a gifted guitar player.

[@2979paul]

Agree

[@greatguitaristoftherockera2833]

Thanks for watching.

[@gabrielperez8864]

The claim has always been that he joined Santana at age 15 but all evidence suggests that he was actually 17.

[@greatguitaristoftherockera2833]

Thanks for the comment. I think he was 16 during the recording of Santana 3 but was 17 when it was released. So he may have been 15 when he started hanging out with them.

[@RustyHinge]

How is this the "untold story" of Neal??? Everything said is common knowledge. Please work on your narration. Notice how your voice drifts down at the end of every sentence? How about mentioning some lesser-known information, like how he played with B.B. King, Albert King and Elvin Bishop at the age of 14? All of whom were blown away. Or his work on the heavy metal charity album "Hearing Aid" and his work with Jimmy Barnes, Michael Bolton, VTR (Valory, Tickner, Rossington), Sammy Hagar (solo), Ted Nugent and so many more.

[@greatguitaristoftherockera2833]

Thanks for the advice

[@ElainaArcher4]

Well Hardline isn't really talked about in the rock scene but of what came after hardline.
