  • What the hell ... I just don't know how he got that alternate picking so good..

  • A man so obsessed with alternate picking...he's conquered it...fucking fanatic...LOL

  • Hey guys...this song was written as a sarcastic statement regarding "shredders" in general, hence the title too many notes. Duh.

  • 27 people couldn't play the first 4 measures of this song if they had to. I'll bet a lot of the people who clicked like (including myself) couldn't either.

  • @skovol007 until I first saw this video I couldn't believe even Morse could play it either.

  • WOW! I am in shock to read any negative comments about Steve Morse, or His playing ability. I have been listening to Steve from the beginning, even with the Dixie Dreggs. I have heard many say that His playing style was not for them, but I have never heard that His playing sucked, or lacked feel. Steve, and Dave LaRue are the music worlds best kept secret. They can play any style, and they shred. Props to Rod Morganstein on drums.

  • @niptodstan yeah i agree, his playings just so sterile and perfect, its like a computer, i mean if he made some mistakes it'd add that nice human element that we all seek. also his bends sound so perfect he should just slide up 2 frets instead lol, dontyathink? steve morse, more like all-speed-and-no-feel-orse. right guys?

  • @langestock He is perfect <3

  • @langestock let's see you do it

  • @rpb4200126 sarcastic

  • @langestock would you rather him play twinkle twinkle little star, slowly and badly then :)

  • @niptodstan seriously?...I mean, seriously? Steve Morse no style? If you've drawn your conclusion from this one song, get a clue, if you know Steve Morse and still don't like him, then you have no taste

  • @niptodstan you - Dreadful ear and a Parisian sense of style..

  • He's just a GOD.

    Love his style.

  • Did Dave LaRue screw up a bunch from 1:09 to 1:27?

  • Steve Morse is a Guitar Hero, ok. But why no one talks about the bassist?

    The bassline in this song is amazing!

  • You are here to rip off technique. Are you not? I suggest a visit to Marc Bonilla. Afterwards... Imagine the two of them in one band.  Morse is at the top plateau along with Bonilla.

  • /watch?v=rNDy4476FUQ check him, amazing

  • I love it. Three fingers holding the pick. Just like I do.

  • This is the best song ever to practice alternate picking that is ofcourse if your good enough

  • This is fucking kick ass.

  • Great indeed. However it reminds me of Impelliteri's "Race Into the Light".

  • this band's guitarist plays like Steve Morse!!!!

    /watch?v​=KZJKPLo32aE&feature=related

  • tuuuuuuuuuuuuuuumeeeeeeeeeyyni notes indeed

  • yeah! I made it to the 1000 likes today!!

  • yuppy, i made it the 1000 Likes...

  • this some badass stuff great work

    wish to play this good someday SOON........

  • My name is Olivier. What is your name ?

  • @olivierjaquet david

  • @olivierjaquet hello olivier, im rowdy :)

  • What a "GREAT" guitarist means in action,the most variously talented,Incredible...

  • Steve Morse is a god amongst men. His alternate picking technique is unparalleled in any era.

  • nice to see so many of who appreciate rock gawds are NOT a thing of the past

  • I've seen the tab for this...you need to be double jointed to even look at the notes.

  • the bass has a whammy bar??????!!!! whaaa?

  • The man is pure talent !!! Awesome !!

  • Who the hell said this needs lyrics? Requiring Dregs-stye fusion to have words is like asking great classical composers to add lyrics to their symphonies. The notes ARE the words. Oye Vay!

  • Holy Bat -Shitman!!! Morse is like the John Coltrane of guitarists. Does he ever mention Steve Hackett as an influence? I love how they both "sing" through tone and technique yet still play "millions of notes". His fingering technique looks painful as all hell.

  • @1wizardofx I think he always speaks of Beethoven as his biggest influence...in a same breath, he says that he can never match his genius. That's how humble he is.

  • @micanut48

    I don't know that saying you can't match Beethoven is necessarily the pinnacle of modesty.

  • @ZeppelinRules Considering how good he is and how so many others who should be licking his feet think they are exceptional artists, it's quite refreshing to know that there is a man who knows his limits. I really don't know what you were trying to say... But that's OK.

  • Is this a Steve Morse site?

    Ridicilous!!!

    The man is the most overrated musician around the worst member of Deep Purple.

    16 years in the band and just 1 album s worth of material, many years in a row playing the same solo s.

  • he fucked it up a little bit but hey....lol look at he's doing...he like saying hello to the members of the band...laughing...hes not even looking at guitar..lol look at what his doing on the smoke on the water live video...

  • @legoguyfilms are you actually making fun of the fact that its an instrumental piece? seriously?

  • @langestock how dare you suggest such a thing. I was just pointing out how the lack of lyrics is inspiring; leaves room for you to make your own up! STEVE MORSE IS FTW DUDE!

  • @langestock more probable that he is saying Morse can talk with his guitar.

    no way would anyone bash this.

  • @bumnutz09 exactly, this is kick ass, I already put it on my ipod

  • @langestock The guitar is talkin, dude!

  • @langestock I bet he just wanted to point out that Steve makes that baby SING :P Morse is the greatest!

  • @legoguyfilms You are a moron!!! This guy guy has talent and a song doesn't need lyrics to be awesome!!!

  • @tekslilbrat And you sir, are an oblivious dumbass. I clearly stated that the song IS awesome. I never once said it NEEDED lyrics to be awesome, nor did I suggest Steve Morse LACKS talent. You're statement is invalid and irrelevant, have a nice day.

  • @legoguyfilms

    If you hate instrumental music so much go listen to Bieber.

  • @ZeppelinRules I never said I did, douche

  • @ZeppelinRules It's comments like this that make humanity seem fucking stupid. I mean, his comment was stupid too. But this is fucking dumb. 

  • @legoguyfilms I hope this is a metaphor haha.

  • @legoguyfilms what a dumb

  • Wow. Steve Morse is one of the top few guitar players. He is just amazing! I got some of his sheet music and its so incredibly hard and awkward stuff to play. I just don't know how he does it! Amazing!

  • @jmurphy914 The explanation is simple, actually: one part genius, one part ability, one part amazing work ethic, one part love, and the rest is practice, practice, practice...

  • I'd like to get as many mistakes as Steve makes...I'd be a terrific guitarist :)

  • I MET HIM AND HIS BROTHER YEAHHHH!!!!!

  • Comment removed

  • @Dihnekis Man im just glad about the fact I met one of the greatest guitarrists ever whats your problem?^^

  • @TheErtzuinianer shit sorry dude, my bad completely. totally meant to direct that at some guy who insulted me when i commented initially.

    Also this guy is a great guitarist no doubt, I just think this song is kinda noodly.

  • @Dihnekis Noodly? Well, he's playing it live - and he usually plays it as an encore, so he's saving one of his most difficult songs (and that's saying something for Steve Morse) for last, which explains the noodly nature. I would suggest you first find the sheet music for this (go to his website) and work it out for yourself. Once you know it, you then need to try playing it at 192 beats per minute. Then do a whole concert of Steve Morse tunes and then try it at 192. Steve. Fucking. Rules.

  • @beeroosterm i thought it was 208 bpm? :)

    maybe the studio versions 208

  • @langestock Nope. The studio version is 192.

  • 25 people can't keep up alt picking at steve morse's speed ;)

  • boring

  • @Dihnekis Go fuck urself

  • @Dihnekis Go fuck yourself!

  • Of course he fucks up some times. He's a human. Nobody is perfect. That doesn't change the fact that he is one of the greatest guitarists who has ever lived.

  • Steve Morse doesn't even need to pay attention at what he's playing. He can see with his fingers-

  • is that sound on the distortion like some kind of chorus thing or is it because of some wierd pickup configuration? his sound is so unique :)

  • I didn't know Dave Mustaine played bass with Steve Morse.

  • How many guitarists could take on an audience with just a bass player for backup and still be spell-binding?  Truly one of the great guitarists of our generation, and my personal favorite.

  • what would you pay for a original signed guitar with an autograph of him?

    just interested

  • @TheErtzuinianer Original signed guitar of Steve Morse? He's only had two main axes in his career: his original "Frankenstein" telecaster (a Telecaster with a Stratocaster neck and 4 pickups/associated switches), and his current Music Man Steve Morse signature model, which he's had for over 20 years. The Frankenstein is put away, and he uses the MM daily. Steve signs zillions of his signature guitars (I have one with his signature), so I'm guessing there's little extra value to a collector.

  • @beeroosterm maybe if someone kills him and then waits twenty years.... ill be right back

  • @TheErtzuinianer Steve signs so many things; after every show he makes himself available for his fans to sign anything they can carry. Hell, I had him sign my Ampeg V-4 at a guitar clinic...

  • Incredible.

  • i should flag this as inappropriate its just to INTENSE!!!

  • I can never get enough of Steve Morse. Truly amazing.

  • Who needs a whammy bar when you can finger-vibrate the hell out of that bitch?

  • omg. larue looks the same here as he looked in g3, as he looked with satriani, with petrucci, rudess, how come he has that skill to remain the same looking guy lmao

  • I heard that he actually flew planes for money while he was off. If talent equalled money, this guy would be a billionaire. American idol makes a truckload of money while real musicians struggle. BULLSHIT!!!

  • This guy bridges the gap between classic prog rock guitar and modern prog metal styles.

  • SMB - Always a smokin' proposition! These guys are off the scale in concert!. Thanks for the vid!

  • 3:18 classic larue bass fill! but still great!!!

  • remember being blown away by this track as a kid... and still am to this day, Steve Morse is awesome!

  • Bass whammy bar.  awesome.

  • the name says everything...too many notes :(

  • i like how his fast playing is also clever. Especially comparing to most "shredders" out there. The guy know how to play AND compose. And on top of that he's a really humble person and is that respect reminds of another trully great and professional musician, George Benson.

  • anyone notice we havent seen chuck norris in a few years? he walked into a steve morse show and realized he could never be this bad ass and retired from the public spotlight!

  • Dave mustaine at bass :O

  • He's so underrated tho.. :s

  • love dave la rues shoes...

  • crazy eyes at 1:21 im pretty sure is possessed by the god of shredding .....

  • excellent clean tone

    

  • @itsYiovan, Wow, it is amazing that you noticed that. For any musician looking to point out mistakes, understand your comment is your opinion. If you have the knowhow download this and listen to it at slower temp. You will find that there are many times (especially on the B part muted on the chords with thumbs) where this is not up to par with the album. That is not what being a musician is about. Morse is beyond any critique you can give, I wish I had time to go into this.

  • MAN, that was so ..... damn modern words can't describe this... That was Rad! Extremely Groovy!

  • too many notes

  • This guy recovers SO well, its hardly noticeable, other guys that can do this very well are Satriani, and Petrucci.

  • So, uh, anybody see any wasted motion in his hands? Sheesh! He makes that stuff look a stroll in the park!

  • A Man Not Afraid To Show He Is Christian... Simply, With Music...

  • 2:06-2:08 he messed up, he does hes just good at masking it. Keep training your ears padawans.

  • brutal wie der spielt des is echt schwer

  • look dave mustaine playing bass guitar ??? hehehe

  • he NEVER Fucks up

    

  • @panhead1219 on the large part you're right. but once when he was 7 he was making breakfast and he tried to pour milk into the bowl and missed. milk went everywhere! but yeah since then he's never fucked up

  • @langestock Genius!

  • @langestock one of the best comments evver

  • morse fucked up in the beggining

  • @itsYiovan yes

    contrary to popular belief, steve morse is actually not a robot

  • @itsYiovan: This one is great but very polished.

    The best I ever heard Steve play was at a show in NYC where everyone was really reaching. Steve was going into true improvisational territory, and while he made plenty of "mistakes", he truly was inspired. The audience vibe was more tense and excited than any Dregs show I have ever seen before or since. Just an all out fantastic show! What's so amazing about woodshedding a tune till you make no error? That's great practicing, not great playing!

  • @itsYiovan I doubt you're in any position to criticize. Are you making as much as he is? Do you have a signature guitar? Like you've never messed up on stage. I'm not trying to come off as rude, I just wanna point this out. Sorry if that sounded abrasive.

  • @itsYiovan he fucked up on purpose so people think hes human

  • steve morse has large breasts

  • Left hand trem on the bass too

  • I've never seen a tremolo bar on a bass before

  • Steve Morse - paper (he's a shredder) ...

    Dave Mustaine - bass

  • cool

  • Just went to see him play today. Was very awesome!. It was just him and he talked about his life and all.

  • Batschkapp Frankfurt !

  • There is no best guitarist.

  • That´s my first Steve Morse Solo song I´ve ever heard, and I´m fucking amazed =D

    I actually know him of John Petrucci mentioning him and the new Deep Purple album but man... this.. is excellent!

  • alex lifeson and geddy lee is more better of him

  • steve morse is more better than you at english

  • you've brought up a valid point. I guess all my years at Harvard were spent chasing skirts and not applying myself linguistically. lolz

  • yeah

  • @khunopie harvard is a school for people with money, not brains

  • @khunopie If you went to Harvard you'd know it's two totally different style of music and playing. You're impressing noone here with your fibs. Music is meant to be enjoyed, not a contest of who's better.

  • @langestock LMFAO! beaners now days, huh?

  • @langestock

    and at guitar too!

  • hey guys if u want to learn a cool steve morse song which isnt difficult like this then learn steve morse-well i have or look at my channel i have a cover of it

  • Obviously, when god made this chap, He went "I'll make this guy a guitar god", how else can someone play that well? :/

  • Practicing?

  • I know what you mean Macie...when I get a chance to catch one of the greats like Morse or Petrucci or Vai, I sometimes end up feeling like just putting my guitar out with the trash barrels. Try to catch a Morse show if you haven't already. He comes across very relaxed and almost humble--and a funny cut-up too.  His mates, Dave LaRue and Van Romaine can really bring it too.

  • The only guys who can come even close to Morse are Steve Howe and Guthrie Govan

  • @skiinscubaout yeah, Steve Howe, but also Greg Howe - he's really great. Guthrie Govan is an obvious guitar monster, but your list should include John Petrucci - Morse is a big influence on him - just listen to glasgow kiss

  • @maciekfingerstyle sure, I think Petrucci's great, but not original per se as Morse is. Real fusion like Morse, Steve Hackett Di Meola and Scott Anderson is where some real groundbreaking work is done, without knocking the works of Satch and Vai.

  • @skiinscubaout yeah, you're right, but Petrucci is different type of guitarist, more focused on band stuff, and other style - he's not real fusion for sure but he's just different. anyway, I feel strange comparing these great musicians when I'm just so lame at guitar xD

  • I love arpeggios. Classical influence is the best one.

  • Dave LaRue & Dave Mustaine are the same person. Gah i thought everybody knew that.

  • the bassist is Dave LaRue who has played with John Petrucci's solo tour, dude

  • The bassist looks like dave mustaine

  • @HolyGK No he doesn't.

  • @HolyGK he has the same first name, if it will secure your statement haha.

  • @HolyGK isnt that Dave La Rue????? :S

  • @HolyGK dave laure is son incredible listen ginna lola gintoli

  • ritchie blackmore fore today

  • the way he executes his notes is amazing

  • Comment removed

  • i know i was just venting cuz i thought hoped he would

  • since when is not using "not knowing how to use it"

    i dont rape people, does that mean i dont know how to rape someone?

  • lol nice example ;)

    :P

  • @langestock well if you need to learn how to rape, im always available for lessons. the charge is 1.7 rapes

    thanks for your bussiness

  • steve morse is insanely awesome at guitar. not only is he fast but he also has great notation when hes not playing fast

  • orale uno de los mejores yeah! vivan los musicos

  • 1:30 is where everyone jizzes :D
