Dio - Rainbow In The Dark Lead Guitar Solo

[pepp5150]

Fr--king sweet!!!

[praetorianus72]

A lot of jealous people, it's youtube. Vivian was a beast back then, when he had balls, before joining DefLep.

[natdiamond]

Dude, Vivian Campbell barely ever even played it that close!!

[CrazyTrain690]

And when u learn to play this, ur a little God . Im just cant play 1/4 of this speed and not as good anyways

[Powderedhulk]

DAMN!!!

[red5robb1]

HOLY SHIT BALLS!!!

[cbarrett34]

i can't believe there are 45 people who dislike this. i've been playing for 18 years, and i can play some of this, but not like this guy, this guy is top notch, studio musician quality

[cbarrett34]

can you believe vivian campbell went from playing this to being in def leppard. this type of music is way more intricate and interesting, i still love def leppard, but come on.

[1983Riky]

Awesome.

[TheSlash099]

omg i thougt that i was playing guitar before i see you. hails from turkey

[Branovix]

[the2010madman]

[bepianoful]

this is just too cool,

[adambyoung]

Wow!! Right on the money!!

[bigdaddynasty69]

awsome playing that solo is pretty hard to get good work

[Lucifer2066]

Well done! I enjoyed watching it. Any chance you could post a slower version, maybe at half speed or something? I would like to be able to go over it with more accuracy, if it wouldn't be too much trouble for you. Thanks.

[StormsMusic]

I want an SG D:

[mx173]

Man...you tore that solo up! Must be nice to be that fluent with your playing...Awesome

[Xraiser911]

Fuck...that was awesome!

[creed200569]

Who the fuck are the 39 dumbasses that didnt like this? Fucking jealous pussies, that shit was spot on

[shawnkilledyou]

that turned me on

[mjw9363]

what kind of jealous TOOLS would thumbs down this!!!??????...This is spot on..amazing shredding...perfect pinch harmonics...amazing!! and I challenge ANYONE (just reply to me) to find ANYTHING on Youtube that is a better version...you won't find it...really not even from Vivian!!

[LUCKYBUCK22]

perfect



[xyzzy795]

WTF??? THIS WAS AWSOME!!!

[les555qq]

my god

[RUScrew23]

nicely done!

[ScottNicholasSimpson]

You're some kind of beast! I'm terrible with my little finger. XD

[gametime184]

[uraniumcity1952]

[MrGuitargod91]

=o

TOTAL RAPE ON THAT GUITAR DUDE,

FREAKING SWEET!

[thatboimanny]

good solo and i gotta say i love sg guitars bro thats classic metal from start to finish good job >:0 rock on!

[mattegins24]

why would anyone dislike this? good shit

[alegue17]

HHAHA U R MARRIED 0:40 :B

[SoldierofMusic666]

Awsome :D

[cattard11]

My mind froze at the start...unbelievable!

[PaigeZeppelinIV]

The solo got so good at 26 seconds, my computer froze to 49 seconds.

[TheJordangaval]

yea dude!!!



[alaaaannhmr]

How the fuck does he do that slice trick at 0:26?? i've been tryingr it but i dont get it!! please someone tell me, y wanna play it

[prutsikas]

@alaaaannhmr

you just do it...that's the trick

[tkoberle]

That sliding trick at 0:26 is just so cool and effective. Surprising it hasn't been copied by every technical guitarist out there. And this solo is what ? 25 years old ?

[afwef1]

MAke an tutrial on harmonics, adn how to use them In real playing, there is no such tutorial at all

[ziggy72170]

So like @ .46,, was that pitch harmonics .?.. ( lightly tapping those strings ) ?

[playguitarsolos]

@ziggy72170 Yes just lightly touching the strings...(not pressing them down) and picking the strings. You'll find the harmonics ring out best touching the string right over the fretbar (5th fret in this case).

[ScottNicholasSimpson]

@ziggy72170 They are called natural harmonics, and can be found in various positions.

[yuepon13]

is the 1st note an e?

[SolNiger]

Actually my face melted at 0:33

[JimJimJimNL]

this shit looks like its sped up

[J0hnGaltJr]

smokin'!!!!



[mjw9363]

I'm here to tell you all..this guy is THE BEST on YT at covers of solo's...PERIOD

[purpleneil59]

@mjw9363 I find this comment very interesting considering you have sent me an email telling me you have never heard of this guy and on your channel it is you playing this. Please realise that you are a know nothing, lying fraud and stop abusing people for having their own opinions. Stop playing with your dick and start learning how to play a guitar.

[JCKguitar1]

damn ur really good need a better tone thou dude

[mjw9363]

@JCKguitar1 WHAT A FUCKING IDIOT.......Tone is spot on....it's the Tone of one of the most famous guitars in the world..the SG.....you want to criticize this guy???..let's SEE your "correct tone" version.....you and I know we WON't be seeing you play this...DOUCHE

[Metallica98189]

DAMN YOU FOR NAILING THAT SOLO I WISH I COULD DO THAT :( !

[Cardinalfan1292]

0:25-0:40

No other words can describe the intensity and speed of that solo.

[0Frusciante0]

[rallyivan1234]

[ReloadTheLegendary]

@rallyivan1234 Goodbye forever. Lol.

[rallyivan1234]

[GrevMivlos]

I Swear to god! Playing solo's like these yourself is like a mental orgasm. It's really something to strive after! F'ing awesum!

[20carrocks]

Holy shit that is sick!

[BlockSobbith]

[rofl123mao]

[MetalCore242]

I love 80's kramer guitars, your SG gives of a nice sound, and i dont like gibsons

[mjw9363]

@MetalCore242 Yeah...most if not ALL famous and non famous players play Gibson..but I guess you know more than them........

[mjw9363]

@MetalCore242 went to your page...yep..you like those flashy looking Japanese machine built pieces of CRAP that Hendrix..Page..Clapton..Santan­a...Angus Young...and just about every PROFESSIONAL guitarist wouldn't wipe there ass with...someday you'll grow up.......

[MetalCore242]

@mjw9363 Harsh as fuck i was just saying gibsons don't feel right on me, im english and my guitar is american, i don't see anything childish in what i said, ii didn't judge i didn't complain, all i did was say how nice the guitar sounded even though i personaly am not a fan

[GuitarPhi1]

[nashmarty]

OK. I met Vivian Campbell at a Def Leppard show meet and greet. I started telling him how amazing this solo was and here's what he told me.

"Yeah, that's my favorite solo, but it's frustrating because I have never figured out how to play it the same way again. It was a weird magical thing that just came out of me in the studio and I have NEVER been able to play it right since that day".

It was so cool. Then I got bummed while watching him play rhythm guitar for Def Leppard an hour later.

[BiboLesPaul]

@nashmarty really !??

[fargo1996]

Vivian would be proud. Good job.

[ydnarnosfatsug]
