lots of style changes and ideas from michael, he takes a few risks as well. i find what warren plays in this duel is somewhat mindless, not that I could do better than him!
interesting video anyway

That was legit. I never listened to Shenker or UFO until I found out one of my favorite guitarists(Michael Amott) views him as an idol. The more I hear, the more I like and the more I hear the similarities. That performance there was solid. Thanks Gwem.

I really like Warren (was a huge Ratt fan) and his style took a LOT from George Lynch, but Michael Schenker is in different league in my opinion.
He stood in for Robin Crosby who was ill with and later died from an HIV related illness
Trivia - Robin Crosby dated Tawnee Kitaen long before David Coverdale knew of her- it was her on the cover of the Ratt EP and Out of The Cellar LPs
Jake E Lee was an early member of Ratt before leaving to form Rough Cut, then joined Dio before going to to join Ozzy's band after Randy Rhoads died

Never really watched schenker before. I'm not a big fan of "shredding"
One thing I did notice, is that he stands with the bottom half of the V sandwiched between his legs.
Mustaine does this also when playing particular Megadeath solos. It looks kind of odd, but I imagine it helps you relax the fretting hand by making the guitar stable enough that you don't need to be supporting it with your fretting hand. you can just fret. Well, thats my theory.

"http://www.youtube.com/v/aatjerFCRP8? good this link works, schenker in his early days, lovely style but in ufo
the songs were already great and the guitaring embellishments.
for the impatient about 2.00 and 3.51 for the solo's. by the way this was 1977 and very few were able to play like this then.
what a great song, singer and band, thankfully vinnie moore's a worthy replacement.

That clip is cool, but it does beg the bigger question:
Do cycling shorts belong in rock and roll?

i thought them odd too, he reminds me of my old scraggy landLADY on the way to her popmobility class, urghh

Schenker plays with way more soul.

Schenker plays with way more soul.
exactly, it sounds like a flow of emotion being translated from brain to fingers in a melodic sense. DiMarti sounds like, err, how shall we say? - too many notes :lol:

It's the difference between feeling music and show off technique. Man, I have the old UFO-livealbum somewhere in the cellar. Have to dig it out.

On the jake e lee subject... I used to love the 2 albums he put out with he band Badlands when i was about 15(?). They deserved to be bigger.
