[Gonzoidzz]

That forehead is a bit scary.

[sonick808]

Steve Perry and Neil Schon MADE the 80's rock. I would have never had such beautiful experiences playing Tron and picking up Arcade chicks in the 80's if it weren't for them. He's a bit of an asshole for cuckolding Tareq, but what can you do ? Women are shady and we think with our dicks. Stay badass Neil

[drkam6]

Go to the themetalcircus website, search for Neil Schon and click on the link "NEAL SCHON CONSIGUE QUE SU PERFIL FACEBOOK SEA EL MÁS DESAGRADABLE " Warning: Prepare to be shocked. That's your "rock guitar legend".

[jontrout007]

Rock guitar legend. Early Santana is the some of his best work, killer smooth licks.

[KarenElisaRoberts]

That is too cool. I have always wanted to see that stuff close up in the videos.

[atanajuat]

Who's the blond in the background at 0.13?

[project10bball]

i dont like how he dyes his hair lol...makes him look older, and more "cosmetic" imo lol

[dempsey981]

THIS GUYS A MONSTER CREATIVE GUITAR PICKER I THINK.he plays the right notes at exactly the right time and right way.hes in the freakin pocket.always!

[MichaelD8393]

Now I know how to play the Don't Stop lick.

[janek1111]

prze huj

[project10bball]

i think he's look better if he didn't die his hair

[BullToTheShit]

Why's he showin' us his wrinkled tits?

[lomodozo]

Neal Schon is the reason i decided to buy a guitar!

[lookingatcrap]

the dude has the most tasteful solos and licks in his songs.

[jmpatton51]

Is that girl in the background Michaele Salahi?

[ThatOneMusicGuy789]

@jmpatton51 Yeah. I know I saw Journey last weekend and she was with him.

[MACKATTACK1970]

Neil, we just lost our lunch, please button up next time.

....

By the way women and gay men loved journey.

[3PIC13378]

@MACKATTACK1970 You said women and gay men lovED see the ed that means used to, which clearly states, journey is free to all.

[melonheed3]

exist as a decent guitar player and not dress as a complete douchebag? Is it possible? discuss.

[manganzoncineymusica]

Lean nuestro reporte en español sobre la tragicomedia de los ‘colados’ de la Casa Blanca, ahora con música de Journey (y muchos ‘punteos’ de Schon…)

[atvrider7]

i still want to hear the rest of him playing the song.

[lithiumsliver86]

Neal Schon is my idol and why I play guitar

[randolph229]

Looking like James Caan a little.

[discreetdatasecurity]

can u say hair dye.

[JamesIsMyNamo2]

His shirt isn't unbuttoned enough

[eljono1]

dude.. button your shirt... this is 2011, not 1975

[CDP110]

I played this for a school show and had to figure it out 30 min before the show. I knew the bass line, so I played that and did basically what he does here because I wasn't sure if I should just chugg on E. I played the repeating riff the same. Not a hard song at all to play, just make sure you know what you're doing and "STAND IN FRONT OF THE AMP SO THAT YOU CAN HEAR YOURSELF!" ;D

[SPEaglesrule]

Neal Schon Is the reason I play guitar .

[hardyzforlife]

i love this dudes guitar work so fucking much, but he reallly, REALLY needs to button that shirt, i understand back when he was 20something 30somthing, but now hes pushin his 50's and its getting a little scary

[mediblue9]

James Caan

[neopatriot777]

Strange old man breasts on Neil.

[shopoholic916]

THIS IS MY COUSIN SO DONT SAY ANYTHING BAD!

[0509Dylan]

button your shirt old man

[TinManSixtySix]

@0509Dylan You button yours when you get old, if you do.

[0509Dylan]

the thing is he is like 60

[TinManSixtySix]

@0509Dylan Yea, I know. I was just pulling your leg. I don't like the sight of his flabby chest either, and as a matter of fact I would button my shirt if I were him. Then again, your comment sort of rubbed me the wrong way because I'm a 45 yr old rocker who will dress and act the way I want to, but at least I pump some iron LOL Neal Schon is just a great guitar player, man, I believe we all should probably focus on his amazing musicianship above anything else. Hope we're cool, though!

[0509Dylan]

what do u play

[0509Dylan]

@TinManSixtySix what do u play

[TinManSixtySix]

@0509Dylan The electric, basically. You?

[0509Dylan]

Gibson sg

[MrDunkJunk]

He's Neal Schon!!!

Who cares what he does with his shirt?

It's all about what he can do with a guitar..

[MACY11ROGERS]

@MrDunkJunk exactly... it would be nice if everyone would show some FUCKING respect!!!

[pentecost43]

some serious under cleev..........sweaters from now on

[flashlight067]

memorable pieces from journey music- that harmonic in the beginning of Faithfully, the random piano little thingy in Wheel In the Sky, the start of the guitar in Separate ways, etc.

[billbocate]

0:13 who's that good looking dancer in black dress up right the window?????

[Tennisman81]

@billbocate Good lookin out buddy I almost missed that

[retrorokkit]

Please button up your shirt Neil

[mrdannymacaskill]

sexy guitar !!

[tr4207]

only thing keeping neal going is steve perrys hits.

[AnttilaPK]

@tr4207 They're still touring and writing stuff without Steve, ya know?

[billbocate]

thank you neal

forever!

(sounds for the mix !for those you judge too much effects)

[fracturism]

nice!

[lifeson241]

amazing guitarist !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[MrDonpunkz1]

Hope...Gibson will produce Neal's Les Paul........

[dmedicFF]

@MrDonpunkz1 They already did.....

[MrDonpunkz1]

@dmedicFF that's great....some rumors says that they wont anymore produce neal schon's Les Paul...whatsoever....TYVM..

[dmedicFF]

@MrDonpunkz1 I didnt realize you already knew they made them. Its a shame they wont make more though. My guess is his sig model wouldnt make a regular/consistent profit. Has to be an awesome guitar, but not everyone's cup of tea.

[graffitiking100]

No one wants to see your moobs grandpa!!

[daneboefollower101]

@neurgel because he can do whatever the hell you u want when your the guitarist of journey!!!!!

[neuregel]

what does he get by having his shirt unbuttoned all the way down to his belly button? l

[Pedro4k]

@neuregel to see if any fags might notice....

[kashpc]

@Pedro4k lol that was some crazy shit right there hahah

[lifeson46]

@neuregel GIRLS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

[neuregel]

@lifeson46 what girl do you know wants to see an old mans hairy chest? idiot.

[lifeson46]

@neuregel your mom you stupid cunt

[neuregel]

@neuregel you just proved my post. thank you thank you very much

[TheAAMJR]

Neal Schon is the only member of the band to play on all of their albums.

[6capthowdy9]

awesome guitarist,,,crappy abs!?? button da shirt ,,,steve may be watching.

[FLIGHTCOMPANY]

I swear that Gibson Looks hyper sexy!!!!

[theEddievanhalen]

cool guitar/

[noshadez]

Hi Neal.. How's Chuck Coke doing out in San Fran..?? Good work man..

[weaponx29]

is he using only a overdrive?

[MegaRubbersoul]

Neal looks OLD!

[METALkid614]

@MegaRubbersoul I believe that is called "age," but I am only a teenager so I don't know these things yet.

[TheChemistSupreme]

╚╚ÀÀÀ_&┤63A‗661♥ê~ÏA8#cbÏ

[MegaRubbersoul]

If it was'nt for your father you would have never made it! So why is there no pictures of your parents. At 15 you turned into a god? and they are'nt worthy!

[prettypink2100]

definetley my kind of man ;D

[MrMegaFredzeppelin]

Followed him from Santana along with Gregg Rollie to create JOURNEY as their albums KICKED ASS ASS in the early days it was Steve Perry who launched them big time but as I respect MR. PERRY I THINK MUSICIANSHIP WISE THE MUSIC WAS MUCH BETTER as opposed to the lyrics,I love Steve Perry Don't get me wrong.

[cowondeso]

NEAL LOOKS LIKE LUKE

[EzrinJem2]

Is that Neal Schon the guitarist or James Caan the actor? I can't tell the difference lookswise.

[xcmike1056]

y are none of the tabs this? y are they all gay?

[SouthernStar2008]

@xcmike1056 Use your search ya lazy bastard.

[hollowaymccartney]

He's sexy man

[astroman30]

Neal Schon is a genius.

[chooseyourblues]

Fucking Legend!!!!!!!!!

Should have been in the Sopranos!!!!!

[69nicoboy]

He is one of the greatest guitarists of all time and is in my top 5.

[neveauj]

Always liked that about Neil. How many people can SING his guitar solos!?? That's the mark of a guitarist that knows how to make a melody within the song itself. Wonderful stuff!

[Tacomadome24]

What a player.

[gammerman101]

whos the girl in the back ground at 14 seconds?

[tellytubies123]

He looks like James Caan, lol.

[billycmo]

Neil's as good a guitarist as Steve Perry is a vocalist.

[PSNgregiskool]

Didn't he drop out of high school at 15? he played with santana, thanks to greg rolie If I am correct. I am not sure where i heard this from or if it's true but I heard it.

[angeltejon1975]

@PSNgregiskool YES,he played with SANTANA while very young around 16-17.

See the SOUL TO SOUL concert at GHANA (AFRICA). Schon played guitar on

CARAVANSERAI album of Santana. Check all this here on youtube.

[PSNgregiskool]

@angeltejon1975 I was just checking to see if my facts were strait.

[fredorulz1]

@angeltejon1975 schon played on the first 3 santana albums till they fell out. neal never got the recognition he should have done. carlos knew how good he was and got rid of him. carlos didnt want to play 2nd fiddle to neal.

[angeltejon1975]

@fredorulz1 SHON DID NOT PLAYED ON FIRST SANTANA ALBUM...He played on

ABRAXAS album..and two more including CARAVANSERAI. The famous solo lead at

"Everybody everything" is performed by Schon. C.Santana and Shon mixed different sound of their solo performances on many songs,Santana with Dorian scale on guitar and Shon performing excelent rithmic and soloing too.

Both are great guitarrist....

[stevetrooper]

couldn't agree more guys !!

one of my favorite guitar players of ALL TYMES!!!!

[whosaidsoup13]

a guitarist that doesn't get half the recognition he deserves

[YoBroMan]

Absolutely, without a doubt, THE most underrated guitar player in history. Neal's rhythm playing is phenominal. His solo playing is incredibly melodic and note oriented. Plus, he has the ability to fly when necessary. What more could you ask for as a player? He has everything.

I basically learned to play guitar by listening to the Captured album as a 12 yr old.

Yo!

[stevetrooper]

@YoBroMan

well, he did earn a spot with Santana

when he was like 16 or so ... :' )

and was asked by Slo hand himself

to join derek & the dominoes back then 2.

[verdefull]

what a sound

[bowiemott]

Whoa Neil - Lay off the 6 paks and doughnuts. You guys are big enough that you can put healthy food requests into your contract rider.

[fattywithchips]

wammy bar on a les paul = :O!

[legolucario217]

@fattywithchips its a floyd rose bridge :)

[KuroNeko993]

Omfg. Neal's tone is like.. perfect. and that Les Paul... my pockets aren't that deep. >: Oh well. A studio is still a les paul. cx

[AJKOZY]

Ya go dad!!!!

[gugge92]

close your shirt old man!

[thosePhatCows]

Neal Schon is so awesome.

[EM0crayon]

omg, his tone is FLAWLESS!!! I wanna meet him AND his guitar tech... dang.

[ricomajestic]

who's the blonde honey in the back thats what i want to know.

[MsTroyboy]

LES PAUL IS SWEEEET

[rune2222]

Neal needs to hit the gym.

[watmonki]

The mans been quite skinny for most of his life, hes what, 50 something now?. Perhaps he should just hit you...lol.

Okay okay, that was uncalled for, my bad.

[Ozeshin]

Could NOT have said it better watmonki :p

[FloydGGG]

@watmonki - maybe he should just button his shirt then...

[Soulrebal01]

does anyone know of or has anyone made a good tutorial on what he is doing? all of the stuff I find is like a mix of the piano part and the guitar part. But I just want the electric guitar part by itself.... any suggestions?

[fishinmagician89]

@Soulrebal01

that is how he plays it, the guitar part that is

[MannyBlue65]

I love his custom Les Paul.

[mekore]

fuckin sexy LP...shit

[shade231]

the guys a great player, but being an ass and maintaining a band don't mix. Screwed up with perry and smith, they caught a shit break when augeri's throat gave out, screwed up again with jeff scott, (he wasn't a perry) But he still brang a kickass voice to the table.

And after fucking up so much he ended up with the last guy because he was just fucked without a singer. What a shame a great band should fall lower because of acting like an ass.

[guitarman069]

liar

[shade231]

@guitarman069 cocksucker

[guitarman069]

@shade231ok...so youre not a liar..and your a cocksucker...thx for the correction on that. cocksucker.

[shade231]

@guitarman069 no, now bend over bitch and take ur cockmeat sandwhich. Don't worry, neals already getting his to keep his remaining members.

Because neal likes da phillipino cock.

[guitarman069]

@shade231 retarded gay troll

[shade231]

@guitarman069 hold on, let me just.... ok eltons johns yellow brick road is on cry away.

[stud007ful]

What's the story with Smith? I never heard about that one.

[shade231]

@stud007ful well he was their up with the perry lineup until they all decided to take time and do their own solo stuff. Then when perry developed health problems and the band went on without em, he ended up leaving to do his own career in recording and being a band leader. Without perry he wouldn't rejoin the band. Which was a shame cause he was a great drummer. Castronovo replaced em.

[stud007ful]

I've heard that story before & can't buy it. Perry fired Smith back in 85. Why would Smith not return because Perry wouldn't? I think there is more to the story.

[waywardsmile]

I'm sure there IS more to the story, but it probably has more to do with perhaps Smith not particularly caring if he left Journey back in the 80's or not. The whole "Journey/rock" genre of music was a departure for him, and by '85 he had already made a lot of money, so by that point he could focus on what he loved, jazz. Besides, he seems to like to 'go with the flow' & do different things. I've only ever heard him say great things about Perry.

[vogts2]

Neal didn't hire Steve Herbie did and Neal didn't like it at first. He needs to "asssume the position" and beg Steve to come BACK!!

[vogts2]

Come on Neal - button up that shirt and call Steve Perry and BEG him to come back! NOT necessarily in that order. Your guitar playing is great but Steve IS Journey.

[RockJunkie94]

@vogts2 haha right on

[NoJboysAPN0Journey]

@vogts2

neal is the owner. don't be hostile to the owner of the band. neal hired steve. will ask neal politely to re-hire steve all over again.

[diemutha666]

Man...I still have Journey vinyls and have this imagination that Neal still looks the same and didn't think he would have gained weight.Must be the fact that I always hear their music and imagine them in their glory days and forget that they do have to age,even though their music is timeless.I mean no disrespect but it's just that I grew up in the 70's and have not been up to date with my heroes.

[dudeofmuchrock]

whos the chichk in the backround in the beggining

[vogts2]

Probably his 5th wife!

[vogts2]

Neal. Button your shirt and get Steve Perry back - NOW!!

[ptfd121]

Definately the most underated guitar player of all time. My 15 y/o son plays guitar and tries to play everything Neil does.

[lemonheater]

neils a great player...one of the greats in rock & roll...

fucker oughtta button his shirt up though...lmfao....

he must be hanging on to the idea that journey sells sex appeal......

lmfao

old wrinkly man....lmfao

needs a bra

[ValkyriaYokosan]

maybe it was a hot summer day ;)

[zr24X4ROCKS]

he kinda looks like springsteen, but he can play

[kaleid23]

Gugee92 damn fool he's a lead guitar of the band journey, pay respect, he's old but good...

[YearraeY]

Tube Screamer for sure.

TS808.

[SuperColinboy]

thanks mate,i only just bought a new top of the range amp from blackstar and have got more thank enough gain with the amount of channels and EQ in the amp.i must add some reverb i think and a bit of delay maybe?its sounds very clean with a small bit of crunch.

[SuperColinboy]

i love neals tone on this video.anyone have any idea how he gets it?

[dirtysouthlepluv]

Very cool vid. Neal is my fave guitar player. And I love his speaking voice, he's so articulate. :D

[thepissflap]

when i was learning guitar, aged 15 ,my friend, and teacher, who owned a local music shop, suggested i borrow the neal schon guitar tuition video,

me being a young kid, into thrash, said, no way! that dudes gay! he sucks!

he persisted, that i borrow it, so i did,

and NEAL SCHON BLEW ME AWAY..

SUPERB player..

[strabbs1]

great tone, love this song

[creativetease]

classic riffs! genious :) Neal Schon Masterbuilt guitar for sale on ebay: Search for "NEAL SCHON CUSTOM GUITAR"

[xramcam]

Great musician and guitarist, but lay off the botox and hair dye.

[dcool2u2]

Neal Schon's solos are like a song within a song. They are SO melodic that anyone hearing one for the first time can hum or even sing it. I'm a guitar player who can really respect the chops of Eddie VH or Joe Satriani and Neal also has those chops, but chooses to use them when its called for in the song. His tasteful playing and memorable solos will always be inspiration for me and how I aspire to play.

[TheMKEWERBY]

@dcool2u2 I think that Neal Is FAR better than EVH, myself. You don't respect that, TOUGH ROCKS!

[q2w3bn876]

Neal is truely a great guitar player. But his looks.... can't help thinking he looks a bit like Tom Jones meets James Cann (-; Pretty sure he dies his hair, too (another Tom Jones treat). Never mind, he sure knows his way around the fretboard and is undisputedly one of the best old school guitarists around who can still match some of the younger speed players around these days.

[metaiz]

can some one please show me how to the guitar tapping thats thats at the start of the song

[sparkomatic]

it's harmonics. hammer/pulloff with your fretting hand, say 5th fret first finger, 7th fret 3rd finger, on the G (3rd) string. Then run the palm of your hand lightly down the strings, starting way up at the 21st fret, and coming down the neck to the 9th fret, all while still hammer/pulling those notes. the right hand palm will create a harmonic that changes as you slide your right hand, and alternates between the two notes your hammering/pulling,try it with loads of gain.

[connorh3644]

wha dyu mean?

[SilentKilla96X]

i cant find the right tabs for this song ANYWHERE

[chRiXtEIn]

wow you're an awesome guitarist!!!!1

[lfnuin]

Good job Neal!!!!!....you have always rocked since your days with Rolie & Santana!!!!!.....you don't find anyone in their 50's still jamming and smoking the music box the way Neal does....and if U still don't dig it, listen to his instrumental stuff.Neal U shold come to San Juan to play some solo instrumental stuff

[GohModley]

Hey, Neal baby, yer not 25 anymore. Button up that shirt so we don't have to be subjected to your droopy 55-year-old bitch tits. We all get older. Let's do it with some dignity.
