The scorpions "Sails of Charon"

And I've got work ahead of me because my band is gonna cover this song.

[Cygnus X1]

Wow, that brings back memories.
Also checked out him doing Red House Blues, Hendrix style.
One of the best.

I love Testaments version of that song.

I'm trying to find "Bridge to Heaven" but no dice.

He is the greatest guitarist to have ever lived. Nobody before him or probably after him will ever be able to fill his shoes.

Here's as high quality link to him playing a long prog/jam tune with The Smashing Pumpkins. Interesting. He's unlike anyone else.

Thanks for that, it also shows that Billy Corgan and James Iha are pretty skilled players themselves too.

HAIL ULI!!!

..I have enjoyed and collected ALL of his work through the years. To watch him live, up close, with my wife was overwhelming experience I'll never forget.

I have one of his picks (plain black with script sig) and autograph...these are artifacts from a supernatutal world to me!!!!

Shawn posted a youtube excerpt from this cd..essential to any player IMO!! http://www.cduniverse.com/search/xx/...amorphosis.htm

One word of caution for those of you not familiar with Uli's catalog - do *not* listen to him sing. It is as bad (if not worse) as you can imagine. Consider yourself warned.

YES..that is true!!!:ROTF:

I can't believe someone who has near perfect pitch as Uli.. can't hear how bad he sings.

I think it because of Hendrix. He really wants to be like Jimi...but Jimi could "sing".

Good call Tim, for those who are not to familar with the Ulinator.
