The latest and greatest from guitarist Neil Zaza.
Neil Zaza-The Melodic Master
His guitar playing has defined modern day instrumental guitar the world over. His melodic compositions have not only changed the way musicians play, but what audiences demand out of their guitar heroes. To see Ohio native Neil Zaza's influential impact on guitar across the globe, merely tune into the legion of thousands of fanatical fans performing his international hit, "I'm Alright" on CZcams. Neil's trademark "singing" and lyrical guitar style is easily recognizable and can only belong to one man: Neil Zaza.
"It's always been about the song for me," states Neil. "I remember all the tunes that really moved me when I was growing up and it wasn't about the guitarist playing 128th notes. It was about an inexplicable connection I felt drawing me to wear out my records as I couldn't get enough of that rush of the song itself! That's what I try and do with my music today. It's always about the song!"

One Dark Night... A Rock Symphony of the Macabre! 2023
Neil Zaza’s One Dark Night... A Rock Symphony of the Macabre!
One Dark Night… is a terrifying symphonic rock experience that mixes the best of classical masterworks, classic rock mashups, cinematic Hollywood horror, ballet and a powerful stage show into a Halloween production that you won’t soon forget!
What better way to explore the darkness of man and celebrate Halloween than through classic Hollywood noir with a soundtrack written by Beethoven, Metallica, Mozart, Black Sabbath, Chopin, The Beatles, Prokofiev, Led Zeppelin and other masters reimagined by Neil Zaza?
It’s a rock concert. It’s a classical concert. It's a multi-sensory extravaganza. It’s an embrace of classic Hollywood horror films and monsters. It’s an exploration into the darker side of humanity to find out who the real monster is…and it might be you!
The ultimate Halloween musical spectacle that you must experience to believe. This will be one of the biggest lighting and sound experiences brought to the MGM theater with a sound and light spectacle designed and programmed by Alice Cooper’s longtime set and stage designer.
Rocktober, indeed!

Neil Zaza- "Danse Macabre"
zhlédnutí 12KPřed rokem
Danse Macabre Here’s something to go with your Pumpkin Spice Latte… One of my favorite pieces ever, I’m so excited to do a play through of Camille Saint-Saëns’ masterpiece, “Danse Macabre”. This version is on “One Dark Night...” and we play it at every performance. While it is a classical piece without dispute, the sections move around almost prog-like. It was such a fun tune to get under my fi...
Neil Zaza- Beethoven's "Moonlight Sonata"
zhlédnutí 13KPřed rokem
Ludwig van Beethoven’s “Moonlight Sonata” I couldn’t get more Melodik of a Monday than by interpreting Beethoven’s melodic masterpiece: “Moonlight Sonata”. While it is an incredibly delicate and evocative piece that literally draws you in, the rock side of me always heard the power that this composition thinly veiled with it’s sensitive presentation. There are some incredibly heavy sections boi...
Neil Zaza- J.S. Bach's "Little Fugue"

Bach’s Fugue in G minor, BWV 578 from One Dark Night... Another play through in anticipation of the upcoming “One Dark Night...” shows. This time it’s J.S. Bach’s “Little Fugue” (or more specifically Fugue in G minor, BWV 578). This was originally written for organ during his years at Arnstadt (1703-1707). It’s a blast to play and I hope you enjoy it!

The Requiem in D Minor, K. 626: Lacrimosa (Mozart) There can be no more melodik of Mondays than when the musical content is from the pen one of the all-time great melodic masters: Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart! Taken from the "One Dark Night... A Rock Symphony of the Macabre"! release, this piece is featured in the live production that is touring theaters now. I hope you enjoy this rocked up, energet...

Neil Zaza- "Purple Rain"
zhlédnutí 24KPřed rokem
Well this is the one that people always request and ask me about, the infamous Prince classic (and perfect in every way), “Purple Rain”. Might there be a better pop/ballad song ever written? I think not! Normally I wouldn’t do a play through of this as the Prince Police would probably have me take it down within seconds, but I figured let’s give it a try and see how long things last. Also, my d...

zhlédnutí 2,1KPřed 2 lety
Fresh off of the 2022 European Tour, we had the opportunity to do a special live recording in Topolcany, Slovakia with our friends at Arttec Productions. We were so happy to bring a bunch of the new tunes from Vermeer to life and perform them live with “Gumdrop Fantasy” turning into a new fan favorite. A big thanks to Igor, Andrej and crew for always taking care of us in Slovakia! As always, “T...
Neil Zaza- "Baroque Sky" Crooked River Croove
zhlédnutí 5KPřed 2 lety
For this Melodik Monday I’m going to go back to the buzz cut era for me with one of my all time favorites from 212, Baroque Sky. This version recorded in Cleveland, Ohio for the program “Live on Crooked River Groove”, has become one of my favorites to play live as it works its way in and out of my touring set all the time. From a compositional view, I love songs that go from a 1 and end up at a...
Neil Zaza- "Blossom" Play Through
zhlédnutí 4,4KPřed 2 lety
It’s time to start breaking out some of the new songs from Vermeer and I couldn’t be more happy to present “Blossom” to you for this Melodik Monday! I know I say all the songs are special to me, but this one really makes me feel something. Maybe it is the simplicity of the melody or the backing chords, but I love playing it and it was a joy to record. For the actual recording on Vermeer, I used...
Neil Zaza- "Higher and Higher" Alive in Denmark!
zhlédnutí 4,9KPřed 2 lety
Between going crazy prepping to head out on tour in Europe this upcoming weekend, COVID and a new multi-camera setup that I am still figuring out, I’ve been a little delinquent in knocking out a play-through this week. In that, I’m going to go old-school and throw something your way that I’m really proud of and that proudly carries the banner of melody on this Melodik Monday. “Higher and Higher...
Neil Zaza- "Turn the World Around" Live in Celano, Italy!
zhlédnutí 5KPřed 2 lety
I’ve got something really special for Melodik Monday this week! In March 2015, we filmed a show at a theater in Celano (AQ), Italy only for it to ultimately get lost on a hard drive until it was recently found. That tour featured songs from the then recently released Peach album and I have one of those very songs for you today that fits perfectly into what Melodik Monday is all about. “Turn the...
Neil Zaza- "My Dearest" Play Through
zhlédnutí 6KPřed 2 lety
Let’s go deep into the melodic depths of “My Dearest” on this most Melodik of Mondays! Originally appearing on my “When Gravity Fails” album, this moody and pensive interlude started out life as an intro in my One Silent Night... show. I loved it so much that I knew that it had to have a place of it’s own in my catalog. You can get the guitar tabs here: neil-zaza-merch.myshopify.com/collections...

Hey Mr Zaza! I’m a huge fan, thank you for all the work you do. You’re an absolutely huge inspiration to me. Do you think you’ll do an American tour soon in upcoming years? I’d love to see you! Wishing the best for you and your band.
Amazing thank you my friend

Came here thinking this was a Ghost cover, but this is even better! Cheers from a fellow native Clevelander
eternal fantasy
Been watching his performances live for over a decade now. Never gets fucking old!
fake guitarist! never showing the bottom part of the guitar, because jack is not even in there nor is any amp connected to it, yet the guitar play is pure studio audio.
You couldn't be more wrong. I played every note live for this video. I guess you need to see a cable plugged in to know it is live! 🤣
@@melodikmusic and that ladies and gentlemen, is how you get the attention of a Guitar God😁 Thankyou for the response to this deliberate negative comment sir, big fan🥳🔥
❤

Talent and joy off the charts
🙌❤️
Hi neil. Loving the album. I can't get the tabs though. Where can i get them? Thanks and please come to the uk! 🙏

One of my favourites, I remember coming across you when I was a teen and emailing you and to my surprise getting the nicest response! Your music still inspires me to this day! :D
Wow, thank you!
Love it happy dude
Happy time dude

Neil played Purple Rain so many times that he developed an otherworldly version of this song. This is fucking amazing

Hello did you use the dod juice box in this show?
I can’t remember, but I believe I did.
@@melodikmusic when did you start using the DOD Juice box?
Hii bro Neil i came to know you after a 9 year old performing your music yesterday at hornbill festival. Could you please go and see his performance. We Nagas want to see ur comment. Search here: Gideon Kithan, concert a Hornbill festival, Nagaland.
관객분위기 쩐다! 기타인스트루멘털에 바디 점핑이라. 관객매너 최고다.
E o tempo passa….
This is great!!! Basically an Aerosmith / Trans-Siberian Orchestra combination tribute! These are my 'brothers' from the Akron/Kent music scene back in the '80s, colleagues from the great Heavy Metal Sunday nights at Filthy McNasty's (a legendary club on Depeyster Street) in Kent near the KSU campus! Many was the night I walked there from and half crawled back to Stopher Hall which we nicknamed Stoner Hall back in the day.
Neil, you and your skills have aged like a fine wine. Love seeing your mastery on display.
Since I was a kid, stumbled upon a live performance of 'I'm Alright." Life happened and 20 years later.. like absolute magic after WANTING to find you again.. the name Neil Zaza popped into my head. Thrilled to see you're still out here. (y)
yuh
❤❤❤❤❤
This song is incredibly difficult. Watching him play it so effortlessly while smiling and moving around just blows my mind. Love this guy. Amazing guitar player
Great playing as ever! Looking at the t-Shirt, I was there watching that Black Sabbath 10th Anniversary tour and with them was an unknown band at the time who were supporting them named Van Halen - wow
Can't wait... got my broken girl seating... and even thru all the pain I wouldn't dare miss this.
I could breathe it.
Love it Neil!!! Love the melodically phrasing
Truly magnificent! Peace, love and respect Neil.
