Boston - Hitch a Ride - Full Ending Guitar Solo

[darksydeshane]

six people have no taste in penomonal music at all :/

[Parrishpainkiller]

replay , replay , replay ... that distinct SG sound comes ringing through. Barry Goudreau is saluting that one!

[pjsbulldog67]

one of the best solos ever and you sounded great! hats off to you!

[petertangptrtng]

[acjs21]

mr. tom scholz would be proud

[davidbalesABQ]

[hellguitar91]

Nicely done man, sounds really good!

[robfolcroft]

Dude that was fucking awesome. Good job. Love the SG.

[magicrick7425]

I wish I could play like that. You kick ass!

[LUCKYBUCK22]

Thanks for demonstrating how the solo is played. It's a great solo and you picked it out perfectly.

[allrapsucks]

Dude, that is one of the most gorgeous solos ever laid down and you nailed it! This was Boston's finest moment. It gets me every time. Peace.

[CedarAndStone]

[Ubered]

Great job!!! What are you using to get the "Boston" guitar tone?

[MrLedzep64]

[mmccr4171]

Bravo from Kansas City. This song will be played at my funeral! I want to learn the solo, but the tabs I find online aren't right. Do u have the tab for this? If so, could you send it to me or post? Thanks man, keep up the good work!!!

[NoQuarter75]

nice job man. you nailed that solo. im starting to play and im picking up pretty quick. i cant wait to get an electric to play stuff like that. lol. how do you get such good sound?

[detective166]

Nice work, just work on minute intonation here and there.

[briansandwith]

This is literally my all time favorite guitar piece. Well done!

[RoCkSoNg7]

[designerx2006]

Sweet! Great Job.

[blackxxflamingo]

Ay-freakin-mazing!! love it!

[kanadiankreme]

How dare you come on youtube with your smoking hot SG, running harmony Boston solos like a walk in the park. Don't you know the masses want to hear rap "artists" that steal other people's music and pawn it off as their own?

Come on man, get with the program....

[footballfan32able]

sounds great! what amp effects are you using?

[CalcioRino]

yo wat r the amp settings for this sick vid by the way

[nunobettencourtrockz]

*mouth drops to floor in sheer amazement at the perfection of your playing*

[wsl3docmob]

DUDE PLEASE POST HOW TO PLAY THIS!!! PLEASE BRO

[panaro5]

hey what kind of amp/effects are you using dude?

nice job by the way this is wicked good!

[luciskank]

Wholey Mother of Jesus!!~ FAROUT! Man,I'm gonna learn that so I can impress those chicks! Man I will be the Cat! No really-that was good! I would make a song,over,and over with just that rip! I would be stuck right there and would be in bless!

[mmorrison69]

@luciskank ha ha, it,s really good!

[clevelandtyler2]

one of the best solos of all time

[bigbabyjesus12]

Where'd you get that tone? Are you using one of those Scholtz rockmans? It sounds just like the record. Well done.

[alagogo]

incredible ! i'm drooling with envy . that was spot on perfect !

[joeyballz110]

One of my all time favorite solo's, Great job!

[46prism]

i agree that was the best cover i have ever seen ,the bends were perfect nice job bud!!!!!

[IronMan13WTW]

great

[RPGPlayer01]

You could literally replace the solo in hitch a ride with your's and I wouldn't be able to tell the difference. Great job!

[jjw70455]

MisterShred, your question is proof of my thinking that Tom is the best player on here, If you cant tell if he's playing the lead or not, that is "GOOD"!!! I'd give my right...well you know what i mean to be able to play this good.

[eddie676767]

NOTE FOR FREAKIN NOTE WOW. want to see you in a band. FREAKIN awesome. Boston is the Shit.

[dannyhood66]

The best one i see not to mention how killer it sounds on the unison and harmony parts,..I don't know for sure but i think tom scholz might have done it like that also..

[wgcgolf]

this is head and shoulders above all the other covers on youtube...

[wcmathers1]

That's just amazing playing! You're terrific! I'm trying to learn the solo myself and I will feel accomplished if I can play it half as good as you! I agree with a couple of the other postings, I can't believe you're not playing in a megaband or under contract with someone. Fantastic job!

[metemi]

I have wanted to learn this entire solo masterpiece for a looong time, you did it dude! Great playing!

Next time turn off the stereo playback, just you alone... Your playing is tight here mane

[KeepinItRealG]

One of my favorite solos of all time. You played it well man!!!

[galaxian00]

You are my hero.... and I dont even play guitar (Im a keyboard player) gotta love the Boston sound (and the Chicago you covered in one of your other songs). Would love to play with you... but surprised your not in some big band or got a contract. :) Keep up the nice videos, teach the rest of the world what you can.

[bosdriver1234]

AWESOME!!!! that sounded great!!!

[joeyleg]

Very well done! I haven't seen a better solo of this song on youtube unless it was Tom S. doing it. One of if not the prettiest rock solo of all time.

[tenyearsgone09]

Best solo of all time.

Thanks for the vid!

[SkubJohn]

straight up bro, by far one of the best solos

[toolman8269]

Great job! My favorite Boston song! Keep it up!

[mycatwilatackyou]

awesome

[cronus4rock]

you guys playing guitar hero and rockband really suck!!!!!!!!! all the time you guys played these games you could of learned a real instrument and actually played these songs on REAL instruments!

[jrbostonrocks]

Kick ass man!

[zeppafloyd]

wow, nice effect with the spit screen and harmony. you are a hell of a guitarist. i could watch all your stuff, practice everything you do for 100 years and still never be able to play like that.

[jetguy702]

wow!!!

I,m trying hard to learn this and came across your video. It's the best I've seen.

I'll continue to use it to learn this awsome solo.

[Craigman65]

Brilliant

[Mukashix2]

It is the performance to fill love and to be overflowed at.

The warm performance which was experienced by Japan's performance in 1977 revived.

Thanking you.

[JMKIAmDeMoN]

wow tht is truly skill i have watched it several times and i cant stop ha

[rocawayman]

Really cool dude! In 30 something years I had never seen it up close. Truly truly awesome!!!

[ximenoworks]

AWESOME!!!!!! It makes you want to crank it up. I love it I just wish the rest of the song was with it.

[buselton03]

lose the video effects and you're already there, asshole

[chazo64p7]

That is so awesome. I have wanted to be able to play this solo since the first time I ever heard it. I couldnt even play guitar then. Now I have been watching this over and over tryin to get it. I have a ways to go......get my fingers to do what I want em to, but I WILL get there if It takes mr 10 years. This solo is way to sweet to not learn to play and play it well. You apparently understand what I mean cuz you nailed that shit. Awesome work man. Kudoos to you, thank you for helping me.

[BALTIMORECARPER]

My favorite solo of all time and you really impressed me. Nicely done dude.

[nopast68]

One of my fav solos of all time.....never get tired of Boston.

[OmnisZero]

wow that was really close just one mess up near the end but it was well done, my fucking god. I just came btw. Im a huge boston fan and so far this wins the Hitch a Ride cover contest lol grats

[illuminatie2007]

F**@#$@#$%ING BAD ASS!!!

[zanik00]

Wow pretty close. Nice

[tadolph]

[666Boognish666]

[billythehoople]

FREAKIN AWESUM !

[TheDaddygrace]

Dude.

Shep

[primolilla]

OUTSTANDING!! One of my all time favorite solos. Lots of feel and melody. Beautiful. Nice work!!

[itsherbie33]

[RockbertoRocks]

Man, I don't get tired of watching this... I have viewed this wonder for the last two days in a row!

[natschavez]

[WooDaddy]

Absolutely fantastic! You really rocked it out brother.

[RAVENLOXX21]

[tavovelazquez21]

Perfecto!!! impresionante....deberias de poner tu cara y saber quien eres.... felicidades hombre por ese solo!!

[301b0y]

wow. nailed the tone and playing. amazing man 5/5

[smartarse001]

My favourite ending so beautifully excised.

Good work.

[bach9]

Holy Sh%t...

Some one crazy glued that bad boy to your hand shortly after your birth and you must have been holding ever since.

Excellent! So jealous!

[buckbuster6213]

This Gives me goosebumps big enough for a calf to suck! Awesome!!!!!

[thehuntman46]

definitly the best solo ever written

[Bearses]

dude, nice work on the SG. you capture the timeless sound of Boston, yet you make it your own. keep on keepin' on...

[gmlasam]

F&^&^^&& excellent job!!!! Tom S. would be be very impressed

[Kokushi666]

awsome i love boston

[MerrickWP]

Good job! A couple spots need to be smoothed out but overall a VERY respectable tribute to one of my all-time favorite songs. Bravo!!!

[TheNewWorldMan69]

WOW

this is my favorite solo not only by Boston but my favorite solo ever. that was perfect you got the guitar sound down and just...wow

[xiaok]

well played

[skosters]

Great job!

[X2k6es]

Pretty much perfect. Great job!

[hanzofbyotch]

10 f-ing stars!! WOW

[GibsonLes4Paul]

Great job man! 5/5

[ferrarif40]

Wow that was some nice bend vibrato... methinks you're better than Tom at playing that, but he wrote it so he's still top dog lol

[radman2020]

amazing

[joaquinn29]

play walk on and a new world of boston please

[sonofjabba]

Fuggin Awesome!!!

[GunsNRosesFanatic]

Kudos! Perfectly Executed!

[lonedrumer]

Outstanding!!! every nuance!

[WARLOCKPLATINUM]

this is the best solo in the world

[hz11287]

I want this as a ring tone, awesome!

[teflondon91]

pretty wild dude... i love how you accent on your backtrack... Tom Schulz was known for layering delayed and chorused guitar parts with a high pass filter in front of his amp usually done by a rockman type device but i have done it with justa simple fet based filter... you complimented it perfectly... clap clap!

[greymattervandal]

While I could nit-pick a little, I'd then have to admit that I can't play anywhere NEAR this well. Good job.

[babybluesnowden]

holy crap dude, you are good tom sholltz is one of the best in my book, great job

[ClearSolutionsResear]

I saw them play that live front row in 1978.  One word: PERFECT!

[djdecember]

wow you lucky bastard!

[Samhain35]

Saw them in '78 as well. Did Sammy Hagar open at your show?

[sigreento]

That was Fucking AMAZINGGGGGGGGG.

[acuity67]

I can't believe I used to dislike this song. I think it's actually my favorite Boston song. I think it's just slightly better than Foreplay/Long Time.

[mostdeadlygeist]

if only i spent as much time playing a real guitar as i do rock band :(

you're really good, i wish i could do that

[conqah]

awsome. love this solo!!

[ltk48]

5 STARS! YOU ROCK!

[guitarhero4jesus]

You did a great job. You were a tad out of tune with the track, but you nailed it regardless.

[loveguitars]

Excellent!!!

[shannoni86]

Holy crap. You're frickin' amazing!

[Stringwinder1]

I am sorry but there are only two words I can say, and they are "KICK ASS". I loved it.

[265DeadPopes]

great job on a classic solo !

[lifeson5]

Man !!! your a awesome guitar player, you pounded that tune perfect!!  beautiful job, now i have to learn it time to call my guitar teacher..lol GREAT JOB EXCELLENT !!

[pkerlover]

i assume your good at guitar but would consider this a hard song to learn because i want to learn how to play it but i not sure if it's too advanced

ps I have been playing for 8 months

[harmony000]

i don't need to say this, but i will. excellent job!

[zetafac]

Man...I am taken aback. I can only dream of being able to do such a great cover!

Incredible job....Thanks for sharing this with us.

[djrfr420]

i think i might have a hard on

[grimesinma]

Great cover. Even greater that you are playihg a SG. One of my favorite guitars of all time. Rock on!

[Gibson1423]

best cover i have ever seen. great job

[playguitarsolos]

thanks!!

[slugger20120]

What's hilarious is that Goudreau played an SG, Scholz played a Les Paul, but what did sheehan play?? like i dont know my basses as well as i do guitars, but does ANYONE know!?!?! fran's bass is sick. especially in this song if ya listen in

[rhynocerous988]

I wanna say he played a Jazz Bass, but I cant be certain. Im pretty sure that the original vinyl album sleeve showed him playin a 5 color burst jazz.

[playguitarsolos]

I believe Tom played the bass as well on most of the that album, even though Fran was in the credits, and on tour of course.

[mjw9363]

@playguitarsolos Your are correct sir

[PAULOcbi]

@mjw9363 You are correct sir???? playing guitar in your bedroom little boy?? LedZeppilin played almost 10,000 shows and Jimmy and the lads were spot on evry night ,did ya know that?? read it in a magazine ,boy!the truth lad,

[yourunclehank1]

@PAULOcbi You must've read that in a mag about

a dream they had.10,000 shows is a gig every night from

July '67 to about thanksgiving of '94. 2 a night would be

around march of '81. Don't think so dude. With that much

road time they'd have sounded better live too

[19eddie62]

If this guy is really playing this lead, then he has my respect with what he can play by Boston. Hitch A ride, is one of the sweetest leads in rock-n-roll history.

[MisterShred]

Nice job! Was the lead all you or were you playing over the original?

[playguitarsolos]

Playing 2 leads over the original. If you listen real close, you can hear the original in there at times.

[bluesbred3]

Barry Goodreau played an SG

[bluesbred3]

Tom Scholz always plays his Les Paul Standard gold top thru all his Rockman gear he created. Best sound in R&R!

[09charleszf]

Sigh* thats good. Wish i could do that.

[anakina1]

Very cool.

[iownedyou31]

hey dude, u rip, could u send me the tabs to this???

[1justice4all]

I think Tom Scholz primarily used an SG,but I'm not sure.

[slugger20120]

Scholz - Gibson Les Paul

Goudreau - Gibson SG.

[coopmister00]

WOW thats awsome!!!!!!!!!!!! what kind of affects you use???

[DerbyDamon93]

holy shit

[adam872]

Damn, that's always been a tasty lead break. Great melodic playing and the harmonies just make it oh so much better.

[chuckinohio420]

WOW ,,,,Great solo man ,,ONE of the best ,,,,great job your hired

[flexjc]

fuck! that was sick! i loce this solo probably one of my favs! you did fucking awesome! major props

[propilot1012]

This is one of the best solos i have ever herdd. thats why i like boston there solos are somewhat easy and reall music to my ears.. same with Rush and Petrucci but there solos are hard as FUCK... Nice playing

[Gawks20]

This is my favorite solo of all time! You certainly rocked it. Wish I could play like you :P. Oh well, looks like I'll stick to Rock Band guitar to play this lol.

[xjseries3]

WOW..got to hand it too ya man!:)...LOVE those 2 end chords!!

[sigreento]

That's the best I've ever seen. Well done and incredible. peace out

[MonsieurBundy]

parfait

[toolmaker19]

f-ing awesome

[EA755]

The PERFECT COVER!!!

Anyways 5/5 nice guitar.

[welsinc]

awesome job.

[Masterland]

... :O

[primolilla]

Outstanding!!! Been a music fan for years and years. This solo for me, is one of the most melodic "feel" solos out there. Its my favorite Boston tune. Excellent work!

[BBCater]

That is EXCELLENT work. I tried that solo so many times, and it always sounds flat. Never tried it in "tandem" with myself. Impressive. Nice tribute, my friend.

[robertsutter]

Oh My God!!! I love you I love you I love you will you marry me? Oh, wait a minute, I forgot, that's right, I'm a guy. Never mind.

[bnsjt]

lol...wet myself a little too Rob...had to listen to watch it again. Great Job.

[hoodboi718]

perfect

[JessieBolt]

EXCELLENT!

[avo6624]

thats really impressive...ive been tryin that solo for about 2 months now and i havent been able to do the entire thing straight through...its a really hard solo and if u can play like u can..u are basicly insane

[masuda316]

nice job. your tone is great
