Highway Star Keys Solo

[Highlander]

G'day guys,

Another vid - playing the Y2D (stop tail) through the ENGL Powerball.

This one is Deep Purple's Highway Star (Jon Lord's keys solo). I love those arpeggios - great solo - I hope I'm doing some form of justice!

That's cool. I play Highway Star, but never tried the keyboard solo it must have taken some practice.

Great !

On the transcription I have (Guitar & Techniques - February 1999. A tab made by Guthrie Govan) the first arpeggios are played on octave higher.

Please guys, we are trying to capture our sentiments strictly using one word. Let's try this again

Killer

Yeah it did
I only initially learnt it because we were doing a show with a song or two from every band we cover and we really wanted to do this song but our keyboard player wasn't going to be performing at that show...so I learnt it (occasionally I'll double the line along with the keys player depending on what sort of show we're playing.....ie. if it's a Purple tribute show then I don't double him....if it's a night of mixed bands then 'what the hell...I'll double the solo'.

Nice! I haven't seen that one. This sounded great when doubling our keyboard player so I've just stuck with it

That's an issue I missed. But just managed to get hold of a copy on E Bay, so I might give this a try.
