[@KatalysstClub]

Incredible. Absolutely the best Vito Bratta I've ever seen next to the man himself.

[@1trkmd]

Thanks

[@safelyanonymous5717]

i agree; we do not have vito anymore sadly but you are holding it down rob admirably

[@SEILLC]

I think Rob IS Vito.

[@alr12]

can you tell me where the pic on your avatar comes from?

[@aadianaskure7385]

Can I get the tabs to these solos? Please?

[@1trkmd]

I've actually contacted Mike Tramp about hiring me for a White Lion reunion and here's his reply: "Brother keep doing what you do and just enjoy. I am doing something completely different today and got it under control. Vito would be very proud if he saw this." -Mike

[@safelyanonymous5717]

your the closest thing we have to vito Rob. Keep at it you never know M. Tramp maybe reaching out to someday in the future

[@1trkmd]

@@safelyanonymous5717 😄 Thanks and yeah maybe👍

[@GitarAgam]

what a play.... there is only one vitto.. no guitarist like him now

[@kenshea3629]

Spot on and ohh so tight!! When i listen to you play, i am literally in a different place, an escape if you wil. melodic, tone and pure bliss. THIS is what music is all about, and the fact that you are able to share with others this beautiful mindset is fabulous!! Thank you!!

[@danpayne2609]

To be honest, I'm not so sure it even matters that you can play note for original note to some of these singers (I could be wrong). Not sure when, but some time ago I watched a video with MT in a band doing WL songs and the guitarist was missing about a third of the notes, and I don't mean IN thirds either... because then maybe that would've actually been melodic. Great playing btw. Thanks for this, music to my ears.

[@TheSixstringsinner]

I've never seen anyone play like Vito...He's one of those guys that people say he sounds like Eddie....But other than his Tapping..he was nothing like Eddie, His phrasing and style and licks were innovative and in the past 25 years I've never heard anyone close..You have hit the nail on the head..OUTSTANDING JOB.

[@jrgilbert]

Completely agree with the comparison to Eddie. Eddie influenced infinitely more players. His contributions are nearly unmatched... except maybe by Hendrix. But Vito is a case of the protege surpassing the master!

[@thomasgrabowski2202]

Two different players. He's rhythm is froma totally different place. Van Halen is classic rock. Vito is really irregular and I'd say Van halen is more regular or more predictable with some variations in his play. Vito is completely random in my opinion with his playing. It's like he can play whatever the hell he wants and play it off rythm most the time and it's just a weird style imo but fuck it's so weird but good. Like very irregular imo. That's the best way I can describe him. x'D !!!!!!!

[@davidkiefer9875]

Vito is definitely a really great player. Very tasty and sweet licks that bounce back and forth constantly pedaling and pivoting that makes for really warm phrasing and tones. Within each of his solos you will hear those characteristics everywhere, and he makes them sound really cool... And a lot of these guys do a really nice job covering them - thank you. However, it is crystal clear that Vito pretty much listened to the first 6 Van Halen albums all the time to the point of being so much so, that it's now unconsciously built in to him... Vito's use of all the harmonics (natural, artificial, tapped-out and the palm shuffeled), the sweet blending and note choices, the divebombs and bar work, and of course the tapping Eddie revolutionized (and that's not even mentioning Eddie's songwriting, chord inversions and riffs.. . Go back and listen to any of the first 6 Van Halen albums - especially the tune "Push Comes to Shove" on the 2nd side of Van Halen's 4th album - Fair Warning. I can pretty much guarantee that Vito listened to that album constantly for years and years because all of EVH's characteristics, style and swagger are all over Vito's songs and solos.. You can't blame Vito, those albums are where EVH singlehandedly re-wrote the guitar and no one has yet to even come close to doing it again. Period... And I am not taking anything away from Vito (I love his playing for sure), but you simply must give credit where credit is due - and that goes to King Edward. Please go back and listen closely to those first 6 Van Halen albums and you'll see what I am talking about and if you're not that familiar with EVH, you are in for a treat my friend, a real treat...

[@kevinrosner8676]

I heard a rock critic define Vito as a weaker version of EVH than Nuno Bettencourt. Now Nuno is a better guitarist than both but what an insult to Vito. EVH is great, plz don’t take this wrong. Vito did some things, EVH could not do, imo. Nuno and Vito’s tapping ability took what EVH did to another level similar to Reb Beach. Vito’s greatness is shown by how we still talk about his playing today. Which is amazing considering the small amount of work he released

[@theYuGiOhseasonzeroguy]

​@@kevinrosner8676is nuno really better than vito tho? They're both excellent

[@JoeyArmstrong2800]

We'll most likely never see Vito play again. So glad there's guy's like you out there willing to commit themselves. Great job.

[@scottwaszak698]

Bratta was just an amazingly gifted melodic and lyrical player.

[@TapioNurminen]

+Scott Waszak Totally agree. I have never understood why everyone keeps saying he was just a Van Halen copycat. Vito's sense of melody was stellar.

[@russwilson2305]

I prefer Bratta to Van Halen. Cleaner lines, or something...

[@1trkmd]

+Russ Wilson More melodic and feel... With all due respect to Ed, I think his feel and melody exists much more in his song writing/rhythm playing.

[@KingPepeLePew]

Vito's playing was brilliantly composed with a huge emphasis on melody where as Van Halen would sound like he would be falling down a flight of stairs but somehow manage to land on his feet. Awesome players both but in no way can they be compared to each other other than being in rock bands of the same era.

[@denisbucco]

Sr. Thank you thank you. Incredible, well done.

[@jrgilbert]

Every solo was done with care. Vito wasn't about throw away or mail it in solos. I don't think there has been anyone as unique and awe inspiring outside of Steve Vai.

[@KingPepeLePew]

you can tell Vito was hugely influenced by 70's bands like Boston, Journey from his melodic attack to music and sense that everything has to have a reason to exist and allowing his music to breath, which are all staple trademarks of 70's and early 80's era progressive rock music.

[@mylovesongs2429]

Nuno could give Vito a good competition. Reb Beach, Warren DiMartini, Paul Gilbert, too.

[@thomasgrabowski2202]

He's got a lot of heart. Heart of a Lion! Maybe that's why I like this band so much? Big heart? Big hair? BIG SOLO'S!

[@disseminationnetwork]

Wow, Wait solo is awesome!

[@kazabandia]

Ive read all 384 comments😂 And play this video hundred times I'm a fan of Vito since 2007 and all I can say youre the best Vito cover. Thanks for passing the torch sir.🙏

[@808Monkseal]

Yes you capture the essence of Vito's style and fluidity. Well done.

[@jaytee2316]

At first Vito Bratta has an untypical string touch. A light one not aggressive. Even with the pick. The soli parts could play alone outside the song. Intro, one or two basic melody riffs. Some are masterpieces. An underrated guitar player who stopped playing for personal reasons and never came back. But he's sill have fans! Some are 30 years more but they're still listening him. Whatever, a very well done tribute to him ! Great job.

[@Pattbonn47]

Does anyone know why he stopped? I remember trying to find out a few years ago and came up with nothing substantial. Such a gift he had,

[@jaytee2316]

@@Pattbonn47 I tried also to find out what happened. Some famous people who were running radio shows tried to contact him too. Personal reasons maybe and his silence must be respected. But what a guitar player !

[@816lnk]

that's bad ass.......thanks so much for remembering Vito

[@SEILLC]

Vito was pure genius. No wonder I loved everything he did. And you Sir, are very talented. Well done.

[@Cok94]

Wait solo is unbeatable, is too too incredible. It's brilliant, artful like Vito came out to do a solo like this, malinconic but strong, I've not words to describe I can only have thrills!

[@jaspercane6608]

The children of the 80s are in need of fresh music. Today's bands suck they have to heart. Put it together and make it happen!

[@jtp2003]

You nailed one of the best guitar solo"s ever!

[@TheConshuscriterion]

Brother you make that guitar speak!!! Awesome and Vito was always one of my favorites

[@mtp04987]

The wait solo was oddly perfect and each note was so clean. Great job!

[@algreen266]

Playing Vito is not only impossible but an honor to see ,i am astonished, truely you can be proud all you want because 99.999% of guitarists cant do what you did.Vito is from another world and you nailed it, and made it look simple and beautifull. BRAVO

[@robr9170]

Amazing job. I dont think there is a better solo on the planet than the one in Going home tonight just love it

How did I only find this account now?? Vito is one of the most underrated and favourite guitarists of mine. You nail every solo - sound, squeals, and all! 🤘😁🤘💖

+zkentzkent zkent Thanks.

I don't usually give props for people playing other band's tunes (mostly because they do it wrong), but you nailed it, man. I'm impressed.

[@andersgarme435]

Amazing solos! Vito Bratta should be proud

[@1MrJJT]

I don't know which is more amazing; Vito for coming up with such melodic and incredibly hard solos to play or you Rob for figuring them out and playing them flawlessly note for note. You sir, are a guitar hero.

[@vitobrattaforever402]

Great video. Thanks for keeping Vito's music alive. Cheers.🙏

[@asianzeusecannon5880]

I agree this is probably the closest u gana hear n play like Vito,awesome playing man.thank you for sharing it.

[@shane1v]

Dude- this the only version of the ORIGINAL solo I found and you killed it! Awesome! Thanks

[@aemolina1]

Holy shit! So well done! Vitto can't even play these solos anymore!

[@remyr5749]

Let's get Crazy - He must have been listening to Baby Please Don't Go Back to New Orleans...massive influence there, mixed in with his love of SRV, it's almost textbook in the solo evolution. Thank you Vito for spitting this one out!

[@thomasgrabowski2202]

that guitar solo for wait looks SOOO cool! AND FUN! To play :D

I'm still referring young KZbin guitar players to your Vito Bratta solos videos to get them interested in White Lion because of all the players on KZbin, you're the only one who nails the solos note for note. Every nuance is spot on.

That's really cool! Thanks for the referrals! I try my best to learn solos correctly😉

Vito Brata is an idol and your solos are very damn good!!!!! Cleaner than Brata live I have to say. There has never been a rock guitar player with so much feeling in his solos, never!!!
