HUNTERYOUGAF, you do realize you're listening to fusion right? Look anybody could 'solo' over this. But if Malmsteen or batio touched this song it wouldn't be fusion anymore, it'd be neo classical. It takes a special beast to play fusion like Al Di. Also (and I like yngwie) but his formula NEVER CHANGES. In every song you can expect the same descending arpeggio at least ten times.

you know what's the difference between Al and neo"classical" shredders? they can't improvise with real jazz musicians and play totally different and interesting improvised solos over complex harmonies for hours

I love Al's music. Been a Santana fan all my life, but Di Meola was a good bridge for me into the world of fusion music. For somebody's who's known for his jazz chops, he has some really great rock and Latin sensibilities. He really opened doors for me.

@eMKayJR Not just some, but many.

So beautiful !!!!

I was turned onto Al back in the late '70's. It was his solo album Land of the Midnight Sun, and also his brilliance with Return to Forever. Almost immediately he became my favorite guitar player. Today he still remains so!!! Thanx for this amazing post!!!

@tosantosmetal "might be"?...Dimeola IS great. This song is on the "Kiss My Axe" album. Listen to that a few times (with earphones) and it WILL blow your mind. Don't judge an artist by a crappy compressed video...plus it's live, which, in this case, is a bit drawn out/inferior to the studio version of the arrangement.

@tosantosmetal in fact jazz i boring altogether. Just a leading theme and then a huge impro. Though some ppl find it entertaining :D

[tosantosmetal]

he might be great but his music is booooooring

[qak1991]

the most interesring thing is how Al mix anything with his beloved salsa. I'm sure that he could play Bach or Chopin and it wouldn't be waltz or march anymore but most powerful salsa. It's whole life to rich that level of subconscious devotion to any style. Very similar is bond between Eric Clapton and blues. I can listen to his music all the time

@QTGbass Well said, sir. Well said indeed.
