[darrenwalsh66]

Fuck superman and fuck the guitar...whatever! bottom line...Great playing man!

[dobyblue]

Great job man, it must be a lot of fun to be able to play that.

Miss Vito, one of the greatest solo writers of the era, so much melody.

[rdl5150]

Rock on!!

[djeans]

Nicely done. Made me get out my guitar and play. I used to love Vito Bratta. I posted a video response of me playing the solo too. Forgive the crappy audio quality, the amp was way across the room. Forgive the sloppiness of my playing too, it's been years since I practiced this solo.

[D2billy]

Really good!! cool solo

[acecomet]

it's close to the real solo,good job man :)

always love that solo

[antwonstarr]

i would cut off one of my toes to have the charvel/jackson i had back in the 80's @!!! it had that sound man, you know what i mean @!

[suadnyana1]

great I've tried to play this solo, but i'm failed

[eviltheory]

I freakin love this solo. Vito' s best.

[Paulocity8]

Well played mate, efffing cool. Is that an old style Charvel? Havent seen one of those in a while. Shred on mo' fo'. Love it.

[guitardjoe]

really really good !!.5 to u : )

[austxdan]

Cool. Will you please record a tutorial for this solo!!!

[thestrawhead]

Nice.... Relax and feel it and you've got it! You have the skill and the notes. You have already played it better live than Vito has a few times...it's not easy to play live.

[tigercrap]

Why did you say it's better than Vito? It's one thing to sit and play a 40 second solo that you learned note for note and spent weeks learning...and writing a solo and performing live in front of thousands. What a stupid comment!

[thisischavez]

You go, bro! That sounded sweet.

[BelpheGore888]

cool,sounds very good,tap harmonics were also awesome,but i think with adding backing track this will sound more complete

[jmorg1]

How do you get the harmonics while you're tapping?

[fretworx]

You lightly touch the string at the 14th fret (don't tap it) as you're fretting the E on the 9th fret - G string. I've got a video doing this, as well - without the backing music so it's pretty easy to hear. It's hard to do, but cool when you do pull it off!!

[jmorg1]

ok thanks

[kcmet79]

@fretworx thanks for the tip, how to do that squealing harmonic has bugged me for years!

[governorgilf]

That's pretty good. I think the last passage is tapping as well, and not tremolo picking, at least that's how I had always learned it.

[fooberdoobs]

bloody excellent.......

[jpinsa]

How you getting the hamonic at 0:26. Thanks

[rdubtastic]

Yeah, that was GREAT, but you know you blew it at the end there a little bit. Work the sweeping! Otherwise, best I've heard.

[gazoo10]

that was  friggin awesome!,

[mojopin70]

lots of know it alls on this post....lets see your attempts...ill better them all.

[hoshmack]

is that superman logo on your tshirt or your guitar

[fergie91]

my guitar

[stonfrog]

I agree... good playing! But loose some gain.

[iamsexy5150]

Take off some gain bro, makes it sound sloppier than you really play it.

[charolastrillo]

Ok. here we go; First Artificial Harmonic is in bad timing. Can you play Cleaner? There's a lot of noise from accidentally touching the other strings. The last phrase before the ending bend should be played with sweep picking for improved speed and the last bend is wrong: there's a very "Ynwie" Vibrato missing. Hope this help.

[frambrianna]

Dat was ok.

[starmanjames]

great work man........i think its worth mentioning here that the first recorded take of the Wait solo was the one that went on the album, Vito practiced for 14hrs a day to be that good first time every time....so like i said, great work man!

[BodDude]

damn this is good.

Trying to learn it my self and im no where near as good as you are =P
