Jean-Luc Ponty - Egocentric Molecules guitar solo

[panx0pan]

great work man ^^ Nice!

[RicardoERivera]

I was playing this vinyl record in my brother's audiophile stereo and I got the bug to find the solo to learn it - and wham-o! there it is. A very authoritative version of it, almost blessed by the very Joaquín Liévano whom I saw playing it live in Austin, Texas way back when JLP was touring there. Thanks a lot! Now, where is the half-speed control in YouTube? ;-)

[MozartEtude]

I enjoyed your video - thumbs up

I've been trying to learn that solo for years. I never will play as well as Joaquin on the guitar, but I kicked his ass on the racquetball court in 1984. I had him running around like a scared goat! Then I went to see his band in SFO and he kicked my ass right back to the power of ten. When he gets good enough to beat me at racquetball I'll get good enough to beat him on the guitar (yeah, fat chance!) Well done, you have my admiration. -- Nick, who was Ed Marshall's pal, who was Joaquin's pal

@nibrta3 Amazing!

[westrokker]

I saw joachin play this live with jlp

[westrokker]

Damn!

[mastertracker510]

very nice!...I knew Joaquin,a very cool guy...tell him that I sayd hello..and keep playing!

[Pattheh]

hello i never think that were a video cover of this song!!!, very nice and perfectly!!!

[Tfunkize]

I play drums and our guitar player also was hooked by this technical solo, however i thought that this solo was play by Peter Maunu ?? Fantactic solo, supreme done.

[gatomjp]

Good job!!! Wow!

[springhill1958]

Dude, you have that solo down perfect! I love that solo too. That is some energizing music! good job!

[tgorycki]

Excellent!

[impulsoprog]

in what key is the solo (or song)?

[idolhands50]

Just stopped back to make a correction. It was Joaquin Lievano that played the live solo I was referring to. It was from the Jean Luc Ponty live album from 1979. That is a monster solo and version of ''Egocentric Molecules''

[idolhands50]

Very well done! Love this song and solo. Also loved the solo from the live version of this song, which I believe Jaime Glaser played. They say " Highway Star '' from Deep Purple is a great song to drive to. You'll drive your car off a cliff listening to this(LOL)

[flyzee]

Keep playing, don't stop! Continue tocando não pare!

[fsal1968]

Outstanding!!

[jcpdeke]

Chalambro-great job! Erik-thanks for sharing your comments-best wishes to your uncle, and I hope he gets to tour/perform with Jean-Luc again.

[NotYourTypicalNegro]

Allan Holdsworth is my favorite guitar player of all time...seen him play live a number of times.

But I MUST say that even the great 'AH' can't touch Joaquin Lievano's solos on "The Art of Happiness" and this song.

[jamesedwardtheobald]

destroyed many vinyl copies of this album practising to every song! never took the time to learn any of the solos though... i liked practicing to 'ethereal mood' and 'don't let the world pass you buy'

[westrokker]

wow, really nice, what effects are you using?

[boomaga]

Outstanding, brilliant work, note for note. What a great album Cosmic Messenger is.

[krimb1969]

Man you rock :)

[bullit]

Excellent 5***** I am well impressed with your take.

That is not a easy piece to play. Kudos to you my friend.

Great job!  That bass solo by Ralphe Armstrong is killer, too!

[laughlinflyer]

Nice f&^king work!

[dinoantimental]

WOOOOW!! MAN YOU ARE GREAT!

[javierkong]

i really want to learn how to play it, its my JLP favorite song :D

and good job!

[turbokevin]

wow... Super job right there. One of my favorite songs from Ponty and you nailed it :)

[61SG]

You can play, and you have good tone!

[cpgone]

As a JLP fan from WAYYYYYY back.

No bad.

[eriklievano1]

I sent this to my uncle Joaquin and he sai "pretty good... Almost dead on"

[chalambro]

Hello Erik, i can´t believe, is an honour and enormous responsability for me! Sent my congratulations to the great Joaquin Lievano.

[YTApmilano]

Your a total rock star!

[louloomis]

Nice job. I'm actually working on this solo myself. It's interesting that you are using slightly different hand positions than I am at times. I think yours might be more correct. Very nicely done. A solo well worth learning! Excellent choice and great job!

[mhinsda]

Yes! very Nice... way to go... show others what you can do, as well as the original A!

[thingplate]

wow thats awesome -i want to watch this more and learn it.Its one of my favs

[jcpdeke]

The soloist on the "Cosmic Messenger" album/CD, performing the "Egocentric Molecules guitar solo, would have been Joaquin Lievano.

You did a great job on this!
