Whitesnake / John Sykes Crying In The Rain solo cover

[PBANDSNOW]

Is the reason your face isn’t shown because you actually are John Sykes and you just don’t want anyone to know? Your AMAZING!

Is that a Sykes Les Paul, or is it a Custom that you added the silver hardware to?

[guitaristfromnorth]

@PBANDSNOW

Thank you!

I wish I would :) If I would show my face this video might be more funny facial expression video than crying in the rain solo :D

Unfortunately I don`t have a Gibson LP Custom. I wish I had one. My guitar is Tokai LC-85 MIJ added with silver hardware. Cheers!

DAMN! Tear it up, why don't you? Well played, sir.

[guitaristfromnorth]

@MrJimiJam

Thank you sir!

[flashy5150]

that was smokin'!!! Nice guitar too. I saw Whitesnake in '83 with Sykes for the Slide it in tour and I wished that I could have seen Sykes for the '87 tour but Coverdale had too big of an ego, so Sykes quit, what a pitty. If I was therewith you, I would have loved to have sang it with you. Cheers

[guitaristfromnorth]

@flashy5150

Thank you!

Damn you are the lucky one! Yeah Coverdale ruined it big time with his ego. What a shame. At least we got a Blue Murder!

How cool would that have be to sing and play together! Cheers

[WhyThePussyGivTheAss]

Very nice technique, my friend. Very splendid and beautiful performance! Cheers

[guitaristfromnorth]

@WhyThePussyGivTheAss

Thank you my friend! Cheers

[heavenhelp1982]

Dude! You nailed it, big time! I've been listening to John Sykes since I was just a little nipper and he was first in Thin Lizzy back in '83, so i know this solo backwards. Much respect from me

[guitaristfromnorth]

@heavenhelp1982

A huge thank you especially when it comes from long time Sykes fan! Rock on mate \../

[ahjaysusno]

Absolutely fucking superb. Are you sure you're not John Sykes and you've just dyed your hair????

[guitaristfromnorth]

@ahjaysusno

Thank you!

Lol :)  Yes I am, because I think John is from another planet! Cheers!

@gtpfbod

Thank you!

[mightytreasure]

Super FanF#@%ing-Tastic. I suscribed 30 seconds into the video.

The best Sykes Solo and so true to the original. You got talent man!

[guitaristfromnorth]

@mightytreasure

Thank you! This and Holy War solo are the best ones for me, but there are so many great solos made by Sykes...

Don`t know about talent :) I think it is a result of years of hard work. Rock on!

[mightytreasure]

@guitaristfromnorth This and Is this Love and Please Don't Leave me are the most difficult Sykes Solos i feel because of the precise timing and feel that go into all 3. I've seen MANY try and fail Please Don't leave me and Is This Love. I'd encourage you to do those ones next. I receive an email for each new upload, I can't wait to hear them!

[guitaristfromnorth]

@mightytreasure

Thank you for your suggestion and encouraging me! Actually I have a plan to do Is this Love and some other solos when I find some time. Probably not until the next year...

Rock on mate!

[pcycosocial]

Sik!!!!!!

[guitaristfromnorth]

@pcycosocial

Yes it is. John Sykes is a monster player!

[jeansumariva]

What's your pickup?

[guitaristfromnorth]

@jeansumariva

Gibson Dirty Fingers in the bridge and SD Jazz in the neck.

[ThieleM]

[guitaristfromnorth]

@MrBRL

:) Thank You!

[Liverofrobbo]

Great stuff,nailed the tone!

[guitaristfromnorth]

@Liverofrobbo

Thank You!

[guitaristfromnorth]

Thank you! Glad you liked it! I noticed that every Crying In The Rain solo clip was played more or less wrong, so I decided to do my own version of it and also, that guitar players could learn to play it like it should be played.

And what comes to Doug Aldrich...nowadays he plays solos like Sykes, but I think he should do homework better. Anyway Doug is an amazing guitarist and I am far behind him :)

[recto112]

Man you pretty much killed it! I’ve been using your video to learn this myself. I think it’s funny that Doug Aldrich isn’t even close live OR in the Guitar World video! You should be playing in Whitesnake!

[papirgrauzis]

@recto112 Doug is actually adding his own thing to those solos.Not that he couldn't play them note for note.

[guitaristfromnorth]

@papirgrauzis

Agree. It just a matter of taste. Doug can nail perfectly any solo he wants to. Keep on rocking !
