gawd i wish i was older back in the 80's. i'd have ran with this type of music. too bad i'm stuck in friggin america where this music is ignored in favor of friggin lady gaga....
Awesome Musician! I met Tony once backstage. He is the nicest guy you'd ever meet. One of the best musicians I've ever heard! I get chills when I hear the instrumental "Tears Of Sahara" with George Lynch! Beautiful Song!
A BIG THANKYOU for uploading this section of that classic tape.
The dude at the guitar shop gave this tape to me years ago after I was talking to him for hours and letting me play a few of his choice guitars including a Dave Gilmor Strat.
I remember I used to make everyone watch this song who came over to my house and I'd say "look how his fingers blur" at a couple of the moments in the song. Put it on and run around the house.
THESE ARE TRUE HONEST WORDS. first time i ever seen or heard of this guy and i been playing for almost 10 years and im in SHOCK this dude puts his SOUL, MIND, & GUITAR PICK in one thats amazing where can i get this VIDEO .?
That little etude was better than 90% of music out today....

I love that G string 5th fret harmonic, then into the 15th fret G on the high E string normal note. 2:23 with slow whammy scoop.

Man, he's got a clean technique! I love it when the guitar gods share their wisdom with us mere mortals. Great post thanks!

Gotta say that whammy-line with harmonics from 2:45-2:50 is an absolute gem! Brilliant piece of phrasing.
