My Sharona - The Knack Guitar Solo

[ElBote54]

Just Awesome!!

[jhuff396]

whoever you are... dude just absolutely fantastic.. wow.

[thozzman]

great solo!

[16forever]

Not 100% accurate. Expecially the bit from 1:11 to 1:18, the pattern is supposed to change from the previous stanza (there should be a demi-barré now) and the pick work should change too, the previous verses are staccato while here you should let the strings ring. Still pretty good though.

[minitrucker84]

you sir are awesome keep up the good work=)

[jeffreybernabe]

1:50 he made a mistake....there's a rest after bending again

[KSWKREW]

Tabs please???:D

[hMpP32]

At first I thought Sweet Child O' Mine, Stairway to Heaven and Eruption had the best solos (In my opinion). But then I saw THIS.

[MrBossninja17]

OUTSTANDING!!!!!

[dukeoversteer]

Man I wish I got get my picking hand as fast as you ;) How are you picking at the section at 1:06?

[MrPapas1991]

i like the cover . id like to know the picking from 1:06. is onlw alternate picking or does it have downpicks somewhere

[jjp009]

I think I just had my first...real...ORGASM!!!

[rewengay]

nailed it mate, bit crispy for my liking but the orig was on a les paul I believe .. personal taste aside this does it totally for me, excellent! actually, now i'm thinking about it you arn't the guitarist from The Knack are you?

[1vw4me]

I love that drag at 2:09!

[SuperCutt]

Hahahahaha HOLY SHIT YOU ARE GOOD!!!!!! Oh my gosh, brother! How do you make that look so easy??? Dude, if I was you, I would take my guitar and an amp to the sidewalk and just play that back to back and be like, "yeah, that's right, this is real.." :)

[leethacksawninja1]

exact replica of the solo, great job

[gregaroo329]

GREAT JOB! One of the great guitar solos of all time and you nailed it!! Berton Averre would be proud! Way to go!!

[FREEEDOgaming]

the energy you play this with makes this song feel new again!

[MrOnnekid]

nice cover ! I like it a lot..

[HeroesRox5]

Man,you know this guy is good because i cant even get this solo correct on air guitar.serious props are in order for this guy!

[speakenglish1001]

one of my fav leads of all time - great job!

[CheckThisSaw]

thank for this dood

[awolkoff]

Sweet! I always thought this solo was a huge homage to "Sweet Jane.". Great work, loved seeing and hearing it played.

[SpaceCowboy9280]

@ warmaker - totally agree.

[davearmchair]

Holy Moly!

[nughumper69]

Sounds just like it, nice tone.

[warmaker911]

The My Sharona guitar solo is one of the best melodic solos and it's a bloody shame that it's so underrated

[Sirscorps]

@warmaker911 Everybody says that, lol.....but it IS excellent!

[happyrejjy]

@warmaker911

I totaly agree. One of the best guitar solo. Thank you Mr. Averre.

Btw, exellent job!

[SuperDachshund]

@warmaker911 Absolutely correct. And I hate it when the radio stations cut it short!

[overconstruction]

@warmaker911 i agree 100% bro

[oOtonyOo1992]

wowo bro u r great! .. in addition to gibson sg what do u use? i mean amplifier and settings :) thanks! great job btw!

[ShadowSam09]

Tabs?

[justplayfm]

This video was just added to a music playlist at JustPlay.fm

[FavreianVengeance]

I think that most guitar solos are nonsense - but this one is legendary!

[luiman77]

Nice!!! sup man, great solo, and its such an overlooked solo too, nobody that talks 'bout great solos, or makes up a top 10 or top 20 solo list ever mentions this song and i'm always in shock that they dont... keep playin man...

[fettone15423]

wonderful sound!

[bonykingofnowhere]

Nice. My cover is closer to the original, but I prefer yours. 

[scottlandscaper]

You Rock....Just like the nice lady that used to work at Gertens.

[beggar247]

Nice!

[Xidkwhat2callmyselfX]

nice great song isn't it

[juanmysanz]

MAe !! este tipo es un Dios De la Guitarra!! like Iggy pres!!

[recordjnky]

nice guitar playing bro, just a really boring solo.

[killaon]

sen nası bi adamsın amına koyim yaa.. 

[DAVID0665]

very nice...

[natbienvenue310]

Nice this was the full not often heard studio version not the chopped down emasculated 45 wimp pop cut-

Killer!

[soulflower666]

Thats a wicked Gibson SG - HAS A GREAT SOUND.

COOL SOLO

[MrMrMilfHunter]

HOLY SHIT, awesome dude

[gtrdude65]

Great! What more can be said.

[migueli2]

EARGASM!

[ziggy72170]

Oh,,, "Hell Yeah" !..... This is exactly what I need, to get my morning Rockin !......(also the 32oz of coffee helped)

[danieel5665]

really nice distortion

[musiKBeing]

flawless, Bravo!

[rrhynes]

this is very good. There are some issues with it,but very very close.

[tolets123]

wow

[ggbggbggb]

I boght the album years ago for like $2 and could not believe how incredible the full solo was. It surely the most underestimated solo of all time.

Did the original Guitarist for The Knack play this ?

or was it a session guitarist ?

Ace Frehely ?

[rrhynes]

@ggbggbggb Burton Avere(sp?) played it.

[HeroesRox5]

ouch,my head hurts from an overload of awesome!

[warmaker911]

badass!

[VARIAX44]

Excellent !!!

[tetsaigafenix]

34 people are men who dont have dicks

[EkterP]

@tetsaigafenix LMAO WTF? that made me LOL that was a good one :P

[khezoow]

@tetsaigafenix Girls? xD

[davideirth]

nice

[primozuado]

how the fuck can someone dislike this?!?!?

[azzuri229]

AMAZING!

[ismailalpt]

I bow down to your SG and your ability to play it Rock On!

[azzuri229]

[zucca3902]

[MasterGuitarOz]

Great feel ! 

[Shinichi9393]

[19gino65]

BUENISIMO!!!!!!!!!!!!

[edamrose]

THANK YOU GUITAR MASTER!!!!

[withaminutetogo]

Very nicely done.

[destrukcion111]

HOWWW MEENN AMAZING!!

[L0U27]

coool

[Hythymism10]

He's very good in playing the guitar but it's not like what the original sounds like. But he's a great guitarist though. keep it up!

[16forever]

I've seen quite a lot of attempts on YouTube to reproduce the second solo, and this is one of the few (not to say the only one) which *actually* nails it, and captures not only what I think are the exact patterns but also and most importantly the sound and feel of the original. Dude, you can play. My compliments.

[EnigmasourcePiano]

wow...

[m1i5k7o2]

Sound is amazing!!!

[robitrest]

i play this using mark knopfler's picking style. it fits perfectly

[apachepilot2251]

one of the most underrated solos EVER

[luciskank]

You Guys! Of coarse its a Gibson! I could tell,even barelly looking at it! AC/DC's Angus Young plays the same kind! It' a S.G.Very expensive! And has the same hardware as the Les Paul.

[Weastell95]

@luciskank yeah, but epiphones look extremely similar, since epiphone is gibsons b grade branch i guess you could call it, I have one myself that looks exactly the same but is an epiphone, its really about whats on the inside that makes the quality :)

[luciskank]

WHOLEY MOTHER of JESUS!!!! It's you again! Man you can JAM! (FAROUT!) When I heard and saw you play "Gonna hitch a ride"by:Boston,I thought it was over! Now my head is really swimming! I got my scope on you!

[saholben]

VERY GOOD!! from a classic!!

[HermanCorti]

Complimenti non male ma sei italiano?

[piouskate]

Simply Awesome!

[FinCommy]

Great tone and playing, but I think you should really check out your vibrato. It's way too hasty.

[Weastell95]

is he's guitar epiphone ?

[JoOzLeOs]

@Weastell95 Look at the neck binding, it's a Gibson

[Weastell95]

@JoOzLeOs i cant see the gibson logo ?, can you refer to a time when you can thx :)

[JoOzLeOs]

@Weastell95 Well, the Gibson logo it's not visible in the video, but you can see the two screw truss rod cover and the classic "tulip" green keystone tuners on the headstock, also the neck has that classic binding (the yellow stripes).

Excuse my bad English :)

[Weastell95]

@JoOzLeOs ah ok thanks alot :D!

[JoOzLeOs]

@Weastell95 You're welcome! :-)

[TheAlvinChannel]

One word = Perfect

[jkinder1969]

awesome job, bro.

[ralf0809de]

Greetz, thats better than original.

[Thesnag69]

I know the song is in the key of G!! But when the solo kicks in does it switch to C major?

[luigidavinci]

@Thesnag69 you got it right

[Solitarycrystal]

@Thesnag69

yup, chords are C G F G throughout the solo!

[Thesnag69]

Sounds great!!!! What key are you soloing over?

[Elite244]

REDO!



[angelo12222222]

gud job,

thumbs up 4 this

[ryanspeed]

On Point!!!

[rosborn60]

Actually, I sent you the backing track didn't I? The solo being in one channel that wasn't recorded was purely by mistake, but I agree it does make an excellent backing track.

[destrukcion111]

woww your video is fantastic

[onzkicg]

it matches your guitar sound perfectly.. what effect are you using?

[ratbasket]

Cool. I always thought this was underrated little solo. A real "rave up" as they used to say.

[1587federicoful]

It's Awesome Solo

[0AllForNaught0]

[RioPugliese]

You are a great guitarist, but you did not nail this one properly. It's a 7/10 for me.
