RIP John Sykes, one of the greatest players to ever pick up the instrument.
January 20, 2025, we lost a legend, the amazing John Sykes, who we all know and love from Tygers of Pan Tang, Thin Lizzy, Blue Murder, and of course Whitesnake. I heard the news while abroad Shiprocked, and knew I had to do my best to pay tribute to one of my favorite players ever. In this video, I'm going to show you a handful of his signature licks, tricks, and techniques that I learned from listening to his playing, especially from the 1987 self-titled Whitesnake record. Come along for the ride and honor the memory of the man himself with your good buddy Uncle Ben!
