Whitesnake - Crying In The Rain (Cover)

[@STEVELILLEY011117]

Almost a decade has passed since this video was uploaded and still there is nothing that anywhere this close to it, I still come back to it from time to time headphones on volume cranked.

[@Tylerbag]

That's great to hear! Amazes me that these videos are still being watched and commented on ha

[@brians1793]

@@Tylerbag TBH I've probably watched this a hundred times over the years, it's just cool to see someone actually playing the solo as well as you do, and I like your tone and pinch harmonics that would make Zakk Wylde blush.

[@RFXLR]

@@brians1793 I love his Switchblade Serenade cover. It’s totally insane!

Had to come back to this after John Sykes passing. RIP to one of the greatest guitar players.🕊️🤘🏽

@@jayz0670 Can't believe it... one of the greatest guitarist of all time!

@ You did him the greatest honor with this masterpiece of a cover! To this day I’ve never heard anybody else play this as flawlessly as you did. Incredible🤘🏽

[@Tylerbag]

@jayz0670 you're too kind! Thank you. RIP John Sykes

[@bearthehunter]

Those pinch harmonics at 1:52 and 2:05 are out of this frickin' world!!!

[@rocknrollresignation93]

12 years later and I still come back to view this piece of guitar mastery!

[@Tylerbag]

@@rocknrollresignation93 That's awesome! Thanks 🤘🏼

[@wereign9999]

I’ve watched this video 100+ times. I really can’t think of better hard rock solo ever done...Thank you John Sykes for your brilliance and Tyler for your faithful, if not better, rendition of this masterpiece of music.

Wow very kind thank you 👍🏼

10 years have elapsed and I’m just today seeing this. I rarely comment, but Damn, that’s just impressive right there. Nicely done.

[@artoftomhunter3805]

8 years later and still the best damn cover of this song I've ever heard!

[@scottanddebranelson8419]

DUDE! All I can do is just sit here with my jaw open and shake my head. Absolutely incredible my man.

[@Tylerbag]

Awesome, thanks! glad you enjoyed it

[@johnny121270]

Incredible. I keep coming back to this vid, superb guitar playing.

[@eako2107]

Same!!

[@RY-TIOUSRY]

superb. that intro, those pick scrapes, them false harmonic squeals. it was a summer night in july, 1987 lake george ny someone just bought the CASSETTE Tape. Put it in the big 80's radio/cassette player and that was it. a black cat moans . . . . A STRAY DOG HOWLS . . . . great stuff ty

[@bonobonom688]

Already 11 years have passed...Still, best copy that I've ever seen...bravo

[@RY-TIOUSRY]

Excellent! Spot on playing. Perfect tone. John Sykes would be proud.

[@thesoftparade435]

My man ascended to the heavens with that solo

[@dtfreak]

WOW!! The only person I have seen in youtube that really gets the feeling and intensity of John Sykes. I'm amazed once again!!

[@TheGuitarMan8670]

This is the best version of anyone covering this song on YT that I have seen.....great job entirely ;)

[@JediAlliance]

Holy Christ. That's insane. I mean absolutely spot on it's so ridiculous. You can't just play like that by learning I mean you have to have some of this in you. I wish I did.

[@gabrieljohannson6777]

+Mike Roy Well said. I keep coming back to video version time & time again because its so brilliant. I hope Tylerbag is still playing guitar. It would be a tragedy if he gave it up. Respect to you Sir.

[@madden7732]

Yes you can. Practice harder and you'll see :D

[@JakeJarmel]

@@madden7732 Some people are more naturally talented towards something than others. Practicing harder has nothing to do with it. Harder is not even the right word. One can practice longer, more often, or everyday. Not harder.

[@madden7732]

@@JakeJarmel yep thats what I'm trying to say.

[@madden7732]

@@JakeJarmel and yes, you're right. Some people are naturally more talented than others. But some people don't learn nor practice the right (or useful) exercises to develop their technique so they get stuck on the road. We everyone can develop technique, You just gotta find exercises that are useful and work for you

[@johnsmith2046]

Definitely the best John Sykes cover on KZbin! This video should have at least 100,000 views. You have to be great at something to get 500+ thumbs up and no thumbs down. And that's what this is - great!

[@rayrozniarek8874]

I like Trebb version better. More clear.

[@mr.oklahoma9288]

Umpteen years later, I still come back for the sqeeeeel! Bravo! Bravo!

[@mr.oklahoma9288]

I was inspired, so I picked up an Epiphone (starburst), still have humbucker pickups. I can't decide on an amp, to many to choose from. I also know there is a thread Round here where u mention ur current pickups, I'll search h through the post. Cheers!

[@bardolino2000]

A song I listened to a lot in my bedroom in the late 80's. Absolutely brilliant! And inspiring!

[@RickStar72]

By far the best cover of this song I've watched. Excellent job.

[@gabrieljohannson6777]

My friend..............that was fucking awesome. You nailed it! Nailed it. My deepest respect to you and humbling watching your obvious talent with the guitar. Hope your still playing.

[@dpereira35]

Mate, that was quite honestly, one of the best covers I've heard on youtube!!! Mad props \m/

[@cncdolphins]

I've watched a handful of covers of this song on here.. Nobody nailed that solo better than you.. EXCELLENT JOB

[@mwanderson71]

Yes!!! That was killer! Loved it! That harmonic towards the end was just sweet.

[@AnnikaLaurenCassidy56]

Wow. All I can say. Sykes, Vandenberg, Vai. You just made them all proud... You nailed this. I'm not a musician, just a huge Whitesnake fan, and this is just amazing...to see up close what went into making this fantastic song. Thank you so much for sharing your talent with us.

[@Tylerbag]

@@AnnikaLaurenCassidy56 Thanks very much!

[@AnabolicFarmer]

Amazing solo maybe you should teach Reb Beach since he cannot play this after more than 10 years in WS. John Sykes would be very proud!

[@rayrozniarek8874]

How do we know he is really playing it. To be honest he could just be playing the song in the back round and playing along.

[@gabrielgreff5911]

Reb plays this song, not usually, but he plays, different style from sykes, both greats guitar players, Sykes is legendary for this kind of music

[@Marcelo-1996]

Never understood why this solo is not being played by Joel Hoekstra. It fits better with him instead Reb.

[@erike76]

@@rayrozniarek8874 You don’t play guitar do you?

[@rayrozniarek8874]

@@erike76 Dude he is playing the real song in the backround. How are you suppose to know how well he is playing it when the real guitar playing is all ready playing? Just because he is playing the notes don't mean he is nailing it like Sykes did.

[@pemicool]

Well done at the solo part! And this is indeed one of the greatest guitar solos of all time! Long live JS and his 1987 studio recording legacy.

[@nickyslicky]

Dude how have I not seen this before… that full step plus half pinch harmonic bend was insaneeeeeee

Ok.....OFFICIALLY BLOWN AWAY watching such incredible guitar skill !! As magnificent as Sykes ! I just love to watch such skill ! Oh , if only I had such talent and skill...

Use a modeling amp and dial In on it like i did..I use the 6505 head option on my Peavey Vypyr Pro 100 amp I also use reverd,delay,gain ..he's using a little bit of chorus or flanger effects as well

How are you doing the pinch harmonic/bend at around 2:03 what string gauge are you using ? I can't bend the a string on the 3rd even close to that note like you did in the video. Btw this ist probably one of the best guitar covers of any song on youtube, you're an amazing player.

[@Tylerbag]

Ah thanks alot! The string bend was something I throw in there in the moment as I like to put in something of my own in each video. Must admit it does look quite ridiculous and I'm surprised it didn't snap! Haha may have been because I was gonna change the strings soon and didn't care if it did 😆I think the gauge I was using then were 10-52. Thanks again for the kind words!

[@LucaJanota]

@@Tylerbag That bend and the solo is the best part of this video in my opinion. With 0.10's it's even more astonishing to be able to bend it that wide. 😂
