Deep Purple - Highway Star Solo Cover

Here is my version of the legendary solo from Deep Purple's Highway Star. I could never really get the part end the end down the way Ritchie Blackmoore plays it, so I did it my way...;) hope you like it!

Like all of my other covers, recorded with Line 6 Pod XT Live and my Stratocaster "Sandra".

After hours of deep contemplation this may be my favorite guitar solo of all time from any rock song.

Guitar isn’t a competition, music is about expression and if tapping feels right then he has every right to do it

[ags]

Why are people complaining about the tapping? He's adding his own flair!

[CaratPurple]

Fantastic. I especially liked the tapping part which adds a really interesting new dimension to this classic solo. Well played indeed.

[faridshoai]

This was great. Now I feel vindicated whenever I tend to hammer-on on the last part of the solo thanks.

[comranon]

I read "so I did it my way" and thought "oh boy here we go"

then I seen the tapping! Good for you that sounds

[everysingleguitars]

Great cover man. All the haters here are probably the ones who can't even play the solo that's usually how it is

[Renatino_]

love when someone mak a solo in his own terms and make sound a little bit different!!! Great

[ivanmf]

Man, your guitar is freaking cool! And I think the effects you used really suited the song. Congratulations!

[olivier]

cool distressed strat ... looks a bit like my granpa's toilet seat cover but better sounding ;o)

[SpeedKingHighwayStar]

Nice rendition and nice tone, apart from the tapping (visually different but sonically quite similar) it seems pretty close to the master TMIB himself. Its a thumbs up from me, well done mate.

[juliobaldini]

I love how personal is your cover. This personal touch is your signature! Nice! Love it.

[gameon]

This may be the coolest cover ever made!

[leftfield]

Superb cover. I'm currently learning this and think I'll incorporate your tapping. 👍👌

[Hexa]

It's so entertaining and relaxing to watch your music. I like that!

[seanahern]

I agree it’s a great idea to add tapping it sound just like it and it makes it easier to play

[marioposella]

That tone <3 The strat is beautiful.

[tomrumsey]

Very cool my friend, very cool indeed I enjoyed that 👍🏻🎸😎🍻

[mgriff]

Beautiful playing. Tapping is one way of doing this solo, it’s well done here.

[rociotc]
