  • This is crazy, the end technique is mind-blowing.

  • John Petrucci + Jeff Loomis + Victor Smolski + Paul Waggoner + Tosin Abasi = the best guitar players today in my opinion.

  • @Niamorg1007 didn't you forget Steve Vai and Joe Satriani? :D

  • @falongu I was thinking more about Metal guitar players, but you're absolutely right :)

  • @Niamorg1007

    What do you think about Paul Gilbert or Bruce Bouillet? IMO they're good too. Their duo was awesome(along with Cacophony)! Bruce is also a very underrated player. Search for him here on youtube and listen to some of his songs and see what you think.

  • @Morenumbers123456789 Gilbert is great. I had never heard of Bouillet before, and he is definitly awesome, thank you for telling me about him!

  • @Niamorg1007

    No problem, here is a great song incase you didn't see it: /watch?v=tVg80DHbS1o

  • If anyone want to play this songon Guitar hero,write this - Victor Smolski Guitar Solo (Live) (GH3) (Chart Preview)

  • He needs to hook up with Via and jam. I think they would have a ball.

  • ces le top du top vive victor smolski

    le dieu des dieu

  • Victor Smolski best solo in hd in my channel

  • 20 people don´t have any idea... great solo.

  • And I'm not going to lie, when he started the slap-tapping-trem thing, I honestly couldn't decide if it made me want to give up guitar, or just start dedicating every waking hour of my days to trying to become even close to that good :|

  • You know what I love about Victor? He can sweep, this video demonstrated that, but he rarely does. I honestly didn't know he even could (I mean of course he could, he's godly!) because I don't recall EVER hearing him do it, and I like that; he's not an over flashy player, everything he plays is purely musical, it's not about showing off at all and he has such a unique way of doing just about everything that just blows my mind every time.

  • allows us to see the link (or video) in another website man!!! no seas culero!!!

  • o m g

  • this is even more amazing than john petrucci

  • you saw Zack Wylde in him, right?

  • @GermanMetal - no

  • @GermanMetal no

  • Victor Smolski - >> Freak

    Amazing!

  • Fucking amazing!!!!!!!

  • Is he playing through an old Pod? Sounds fizzy. His new sig Engl amp blows this tone away. Great player though.

  • Давай Витя покажи им класс.

  • Great Solo and great tone!!! I have seen him live and is was fantastic

  • he's like a russian van halen

  • he's like a russian steve vai

  • Not a huge fan of the buzz-saw tone, but I really, really like his style and playing. Especially the Eddie Van Halen influences.

  • song name??

    

  • @Kuzaya123

    Rocket Science.

  • In Brazil, few know the Victor and the Rage. I'm sorry that there are people that are unfamiliar, it is one of the most revolutionary bands I've seen in recent times.

  • A God among men.

  • wohooo :) ja man..echt sau geil O_O

  • tomorrow i'll see him :D

  • once i saw him 4 free :DD

  • I saw Rage a month ago for only 5euro's :)

    Awesome show!

  • GEIL GEIL GEIL - Dieser Mann spielt einfach nur  göttlich!!!!!!

  • every time i watch or listen to him playing I realize more and more how awesome he is!!! He should be put in the same line as Satriani, Malmsteen and the others who are considered the greatest. cause he is truely one of he reatest out there!!!! :)

  • der kerl hat einfach nur EIER!!

  • Victor ist einfach ein Vollblutmusiker... Er "lebt" und "fühlt" sich einfach in die Musik welche er liebt. DAS sind die wahren Künstler. Leider gibt es zuwenige davon :( Go Victor! \m/ !!!

  • "Awesome"

  • Victor Kick Asses! He and Van Halen are the best in the world, for me!

  • Holy shit is he a human ?

  • @xXNoxesXx

    aber der Anfang war "Das" Gefühl für mich.

  • fuckin amazin!!!

  • Weiß jemand wie er am ende auflöst? Ab 5:16 spielt er ja eine Kadenz die sich in Ddur (bzw Edur, er ist ja nen ganzton runtergestimmt) auflösen könnte, stammend aus Mixolydisch b13. Und ab 5:29 spielt er ja umkehrung, geht er dann Chromatisch in den Eb Dur rein, um dannach ins D aufzulösen?... kennt da jemand den zusammenhang? Wäre kuhl, weil ich finde das, dass so goil klingt wie er ers in den Eb dur geht und dann wunderbar im Ddur auflöst... Smolskie ist einfach die macht :P

  • @flashmaster1990

    ich würde ihm stumpf ne Mail schreiben und fragen!

  • lol lol Geil :P

    Oder ich ruf grad mal bei ihm an und frag nach.. Ich hab halt nur seine Email nicht xD..

    Ne, ich glaube ich mache es auf die Oldschool art: "Raushöhren"

  • war eig ernst gemeint ))

    seine Email findest du auf seiner Homepage.. ist ja auch nur ein Mensch und kein Popstar ;)

  • @vlakol96

    O_o

    Echt?

    muss ich mal nach gucken ^^

  • @flashmaster1990

    Mhhh - Zusammenhang gibt es manchmal nicht von der Theorie her. ;/ Manchmal ist's einfach 'n Phänomen. Bestimmte Wendungen, bestimmte Intervalle über Akkorde.

  • @MaxBGuitar

    Bis auf die Tatsache, dass in es in Harmonisch Moll, D die V. und Eb die VI Stufe wäre, (wie soll im übrigen D die IV und Eb die III sein, wenn doch Eb nen halbtonschritt weiter liegt?) alles soweit klar. Aber es klingt nicht nach Harmonisch Moll. Denn wenn das D die Dominante sei, dann würde es sich ja eigentlich in Gmoll auflösen, was die Tonika ja dann wäre. Aber es löst sich ja perfekt in

  • @MaxBGuitar

    Ddur auf, vom fealing. Denn wie schon gesagt, ab 5:16 (bei dem Tapping) geht es von Bb Dur zu C Dur nach D Dur.. (der Mixolydisch b13 kram). Aber das Eb? Was hat dann später das Eb dort zu suchen? Und ich glaube man könnte es als eine Art "Tritonussubstitution" sehen. (oder Neapolitanische Sexte, wie man es auch immer nennen will)... Aber Hauptsache ist doch letztenendes, dass es einfach geil klingt und Herr Smolskie ein verdammt gutes Solo hingelegt hat ^^

  • @flashmaster1990

    Im übrigen...

    Eb-Dur -> D-Dur wäre ja eventuell Harmonisch-Moll... ^^ D-Dur ist IV-Stufe und III-Stufe ist Eb-Dur...

    Nach Db-Dur würde ich auf es als Leitton bezeichnen. Meine soweit sich's schlüssig anhört. Akkord-Kadenzen muss man Erfahrungen sammeln... Manche Wendungen passen, andere nicht.

  • my brother is forcing me to watch this...

  • Витя молодец)

  • Молдцы кой чо делают плохое... он крутой мэн а не молодец.... =)))

  • Comment removed

  • Очень похож на Александра Миткевича :)) и внешне и поведением на сцене! Круто!

  • What are you talking about ?? I never say this guy is the Best because he is the most speeder ... For me and only for me, and I have some arguments for this, it's the best guitarist because he have something more, Do you listening one Track of his solo album ??

  • You know nothing about music dude... I'm sorry but there is something more than speed. There is some harmony some groove, this guy is amasing by her speed but by his originality too. Listen the Rage discographie since Welcome to the Otherside it's the first album with Victor. you will see the different I promess

  • I know nothing about music? You say it's all about speed? really more important than learning chords? Do you even play guitar? Shit, Cooley would rip this guy a new asshole in a speed duel.

  • Cooley isnt the fastest player around, he is one of the most tasteless and boring though...that is what happens when a player is one dimensional like Rusty. Smolski is way more interesting as a player and overall musician.

  • концовка поразила до глубины души

  • Эх, Витя. Зачем ты уехал из России. Сделал бы свою группу...

  • God This is S-I-C-k Yeahhh

  • I think I just saw God playing guitar .... Elemeff'in amazing!

    ♫♪♫♪♫

  • Cheers Miguel. Oh yes!!

  • I saw him live

    5 meters in front of me playing a 20min solo!

  • It's easy , Victor is the greatest guitarist of the world!! He's better of Satriani, Gilbert, Vai, Malmsteen, Petrucci, Loureiro, and others !! HE IS THE BEST

  • I totally agree with you he has more feeling and is fucking fast!!

    Hes a god

  • einfach quatsch, was du da erzählst!

  • einfach quatsch, was du da erzählst

  • man you have no clue. Smolski isnt about speed, his technique is great, he has some cool ideas and I can always tell its him playing..meaning he has his own style. Cooley and all those other beasts just wank over a guitar for 2 minutes, boredom

  • lol cheater

  • Brutallllll!!!!!!!!

  • 4:40 is called slapping

  • 4:40 daddy ))

  • this is the answer at the question "What is music?"

    GREAT VICTOR...

  • what does he do at about 4:40? sounds crazy.

  • Rage was at our school yesterday for a workshop.

    I had guitar lessons with Victor and I almost started crying, because the only thing I learned was, that I can't play guitar at all ;)

  • The intro of his solo is just fucking beautiful ! oO

    Very great guitarist, I will sheck him more ! =)

  • Not only a great guitar player but a great composer also...

  • one AWESOME COMPOSER!! he composed the fucking "20 years nuclear-blast"-CD...

  • Did you ever got the chance to see the guy play live?I only saw him once unfortunately.The guy is spectacular...Oh by the way.Try his solo albums.The Heretic is really great.Rock on bro...

  • FUCK YES!!! just an amazing musician... unbelievable...

  • thats brilliant, no question, perfect

  • Amazing show \m/

  • this guy is a legend!!!

  • Wow. Victor Smolski is one of the best guitarplayers I have EVER heard. But I haven't heard that much from his work tough... But he's fucking insane with his shredding, plus all that bluesy pentatonic stuff he uses, it simply blew me away!!

  • amazing... mainly the finaly part

  • simply underrated

  • he sings the notes while he´s playing them jaja oo love rage}:D

  • iegs

  • he is a bad ass good guitarist

    HELL YEAH!!

  • Victor Smolski kick ass!

  • this guy rocks

  • DUDE!

  • HE LIFES IN MY TOWN AND I AM @ THE CONCERT @ 7.3.2009 oberhausen Turbinhalle

    Rage & Mind Odysee

  • o_O

    o_°

  • he is the fucking master!!!!

  • 4:03 best !

  • Awesome Victor !!

  • one GOOD with strings! Oh sorry, I meant G O D

  • I wish I could play this good.

  • That slap thing at around 4:40 is so fucking awesome!!!!!

  • reminds me of mean streets from van halen!

  • He probably is happy with the fame he's got. And by the way he's well-known in the world of classical music, and not just because of his father. Just research his name, it's pretty interesting.

  • nice!!!!, very unique style

  • hes playing siggi braun custom guitars. siggi braun is a german guitar producer

  • what kind of guitar is he playing

    ?

  • That's incredibly insightful... did you spend alot of time thinking about that witty response?

  • It's a custom Siggi Braun guitar... some fancy design, features an interrupt button, a Dimarzio Norton pickup at the bridge and a Dimarzio Evolution at the neck. Hell, that's pretty much all I know =) Oh, and one will have to shell out around 4k in euros to get this eye candy.

  • WOW das ist das schnellste solo von victor smolski das ich je gehört habe man meine

    hände zittern schon hab richtig gänse haut bekommen. Dazu kann amn nur eins sage AMAZING

  • no he's not

  • Smolski ist einfach göttlich... Zwei Mal live gesehen...

    And please, don't even start comparing him with Zakk Wylde...

    Zakk Wylde would rather be looking up to Smolski.

  • he was inspired also by Zack Wylde how I see.

  • No he wasn't

  • der tapping part ab 4.38 ist wirklich extrem geil, extrem innovativ und groovy. cool.

  • Man beachte den Mops mit Brille in der Ecke rechts unten.

  • der sieht ein bisschen aus wie götz kühnemund.

  • wow... 0__0....fantastic OMG!!

  • Im living in the same city like smolski ;) my friend even has his mobile number, rlly!

  • well, you're my hero now:-D

  • liked the part since 4:38

  • From a fellow Belorussian, F*** ye!

  • victor is the best metal guitarist that walks that earth at the moment.

  • great guitar solo. this guy is amazing.

  • dioppò che bestia lui e  i RAGE

  • This dude ROCKS!!!!

  • he has a really really great technic! sounds very cool.

  • I just have to say this... His tone is about as sterile as it gets. sure he is a great player but this sounds horrid tone wise

  • I saw him in Bochum on a GuitarWorkshop and his tone was just amazing! He uses the engl invader (no, he uses 2 of them) and until this day I also want to have one. Just because of his almost perfect tone on this day.

  • damals, also zu soundchaser-zeiten (ergo auch als diese DVD aufgenommen wurde) hat er aber noch den powerball gespielt. hatte bzw. habe bei ihm in unregelmäßigen stunden unterricht, ich weiß es aus erster hand ;)

    back then, while recording soundchaser (and also on this DVD), he plays a powerball. i've taken (and i'm still taking) a couple of lessons from him, so i know it directly from the horses mouth.

  • ja und??? jetzt hast du dich damit wichtig gemacht, bei wem du unterricht hast. die frage ist jetzt: hat der unterricht was genutzt?? kannst du spielen??

  • kannst du ganz einfach rausfinden indem du meinen channel anklickst. ist allerdings "ansichtssache" ob man das spielen nennen kann oder nicht, mir jedenfalls macht es spaß.

  • i love RAGE, for me, victor smolski is the best metal musician, and his father is the greatest composer in the world of classical music.

  • from 00:43 to 01:32.....if you say that snot even got an ounce of soul in it.,..your fucking deaf.

    just coz he does not play as slow as clapton (for example) does not mean he lacks feel.

    yeah sure most of tis is speed...but thats the whole point of a guitar solo like this...to show off.

  • Victor is an amazing composer!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    i don't want to see any other stupid comments...

    first you have to listen and if you say you can play his songs and compose better then lets see it.....

  • Victor rules!

  • thats awesome

  • the riff at 4:35 is damn hot O.O

  • Can anyone figure out how he does that? I've never seen anything like that before.

  • this crying feels like dimarzio evolution:D

    hes got great feeling but after 1.30 i paused it. btw too much gain :s

  • i just had a lesson with him three days ago... awesome guy, and a very good teacher.

  • he's soo greeeat!!

  • he is such a great musician :)

    today i met him at a "workshop" and he is a really nice and funny guy too^^

  • he's amazing

  • It's a german custom guitar, Siggi Braun. Victor Smolski has his own signature guitar.

    Very cool guitar. Equipped with DiMarzio Norton in bridge and DiMarzio Evolution Neck in neck.

    He do never use Caparison, but he has Yamaha guitars, but it's not a yamaha in this video - a Siggi Braun as I said. ;)

  • boktan. ben daha ii çalarım

  • yamaha

  • it's a caparison

  • hehe your all wrong!! its a siggi braun guitar!! victor has his own signatur! he is also playing a yamaha. for example when he plays great old ones or paint the devil on the wall. he said his yamaha has the best sound for this songs when i met him in frankfurt.

  • yep, a Yamaha RGX421, when I remember right... got the same one xD (allthough it doesn't make me play even near as good as he does)

    But the one in this vid is, like already told, his Siggi Braun Signature

  • THATS AN ESP GUITAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    god...

  • no, it's a siggi braun custom.
