Chris Degarmo and Michael Wilton are the best guitar duo ever!
Wilton/DeGarmo combo definatly one of the the best 2 guitarist lineups in rock history

Just like kk downing and Glen Tipton of Judas Priest!
definitely one of the best. Great songwriting team as well. I also like Hank Sherman/Michael Denner
Don't forget Dave Murray and Adrian Smith.
@@themadmattster9647 yes, the guitarists of Mercyful Fate are not enough known, they deserve much more fame. One of my favorite bands since 85.
...to think that there are a lot of younger metalheads who does not know them... 🙄
Greetings from Italy
@Keith Williams Maiden and Priest need to get in first, and then Queensryche. There's too many highly influential metal bands that aren't in. It's stupid. Jay-Z is getting inducted over Iron fucking Maiden.
Operation Mindcrime is simply the best concept album in the history of mankind.
Nope...that would be Scenes From A Memory by Dream Theater.
Nahh that would be Abigail from King Diamond
@@restofthejunk01 (acording to your opinion which is obviously inferior)
@@settratheimperishable4093 ha ha ha
MINDCRIME ABSOLUTELY! Scenes ( not bad) is just a tribute from DT to QR ( as for their admission).. CMon is THE RYCHE Who invented this Genre !
My God, those Suite Sister Mary notes realy gives me the chills...
you too huh...
Never noticed till this video but it reminded me of Ozzy's, Diary of a Madman.
I got the chills too & then... he played "Silent Lucidity"... I began to cry! Even- though the song was not their standard style, it is a beautiful piece of music & composition ~ Michael makes "Magic Happen" when he plays!!!
~ Thanks!
Hell yeah me too. Definitely the creepiest song I've ever heard. It sounds like something that could be used on the Omen or Exorcist!
I thought the same thing it was a creepy as hell the chords for suite sister Mary
He is such an underrated guitar player.
If I could get paid every time I turned off all the lights and listened to Mindcrime I would be very wealthy.Never met Mary but love her. Stranded on Island, one album. Queensryche.
I knew Pam Moore,great lady with a beautiful set of pipes
I think in a 100 years from now Mindcrime will be regarded as a masterpiece both musically and for its insight into the Deepstate
It's not a "ha, ha", more like " oh shit", when it all comes crashing down good buddy and were left with NOTHING EXCEPT...... memories........ Sad but so true!!!....👎
I’m so glad I discovered this band recently. Mindcrime is phenomenal! Am 18. Discovered this band from a video from John Petrucci, he was heavily influenced by this band. I can see why... they’re amazing.
Awesome years to discover QR. 🤟🏻 I so fucking envy you! Wish I can rediscover it again 😊 Glad kids are doing alright
And how right you are to enjoy QR bro,!!!!👍👍👍 that gives me hope for mankind!!! I've been listening to QR since I was 18, so over 35 years of being a rogue rocker, long hair and all, I've lived and loved me some Queensryche!!!
Absolutely amazing. You and Chris together were brilliant!
I grew up listening and going to see Ryche live! My favorite was and will always be original band: Michael Wilton, Chris DeGarmo, Eddie Jackson, Scott Rockenfield and Geoff Tate in his prime. Warning, Warning, Warning!
only Queensryche I know!!!!
Nuttin better than the original band!!
The guitar playing in Queensryche is phenomenal. Specially during the Operation Mindcrime era. It's also very enjoyable to be able to play some of these tunes, they just sound amazing!
Man, I've enjoyed his playing for 33 years now. Thanks Michael.
I know it's probably played to death, but from 7:10 forward for nearly two mins...I can't help but to close my eyes, smile and let a tear or two fall. I swear I heard the entire band playing throughout that section - even the orchestra. Awesome what the brain can do... ain't it?
Great band and musician. Love your playing Mike. I do miss you playing with Chris. You guys rule!!
+Mark Love Yeah I have to agree:)
Agreed x3
Mark Love - Have to agree too, they were a great team and I loved Chris' playing and writing. I know he's a pilot now but he sure went off the grid.
Thank you Michael Wilton. I think you are the glue that has held Queensryche together from the beginning. Great leads and great tone. Thank you for your gift of music.
Thinking man's metal. Love QR. Their note choices, sense of harmony and arrangements have always been brilliant. What I like about them is that they use the two guitars almost in an orchestral or cinematic way, with both players doing different but complementary parts. They of course rock the fuck out too, which I also love.
I could've quite happily sat here and watched him play their entire catalogue. Been a massive fan of the band since '84, and was lucky enough to meet them in '90. Nice guys, and an incredible band... \m/ (:o)
They could tour forever on their catalogue. And even..just doing MINDCRIME. A perfect album if ever there is one
Of course that is not an option under the settlement agreement. Tate has rights to perform MC end to end.
He rarely uses anything but the bridge pickup though, even for cleans. He's one of the nicest guys in the world , top notch gent.
Buck Norris - What?!😦
I bet he is a nice guy,.if that compliment is redundant of his guitar playing I can't afire!💞argue
All I can say is that when those guys formed the band queensryche the chemistry must have been something else because they were all each and every one of them band members were on it on point NSYNC in tune and chasing the same sound and they achieved it and I want to thank them for being a part of my life big part of my life
He and Chris DeGarmo wrote some really classic stuff together,''The Warning'', ''Rage For Order'', ''Operation Mindcrime'' and ''Empire'' are full of great guitarwork.Their new album is pretty good also,even without the vest.
Awesome band, always doing something different to other metal bands. The Wilton/Degarmo pairing is one of my all time favourite partnerships. Saw QR 14th November 1990 at the Hammersmith Odeon, with Lynch Mob supporting. 3 incredible guitarists on one bill!! 😎🤘
These guys did things to the best of their abilities in their prime. That's what made them so good. Michael's playing is still as good as it was 30+ years ago.
Such clean, clean guitar work .
Ever when he's not trying to be clean.
It is a shame we will never hear Queensryche the way we used to , each one of the original members complimented one another perfectly , they inspired one another on a level bands just can never reach
I know you probably won’t read this but I have idolized you and Chris and Geoff for decades and have over twenty of your tabs in my guitar pro folder. Your songs are so complex that no two tabs of the same song are alike. It’s impossible (for me) to learn them by ear because they’re hard to hear because the guitars were always so low in the recording mix. But you have a super fan in me and always will. Keep the brand alive, Michael!
I would never have been able to figure out that Empire riff without this video, many thanks to Michael for sharing his riffs!
I really wish to see many more of these from Michael Wilton! It amazing to watch and listen to someone play with such accuracy and skill 👏 👌
My favorite band Michael.you rock!!!
Him and Chris two of the most underrated players ever
I've been playing this songs for 30 years now that's crazy. But there's something magical about the writer's playing them. So strange and awesome
Some of the most iconic guitar riffs, tones & solos in history.
You are so awesome and cool Mike keep rocking my brother God bless you always 🙏
Oh man! Suite Sister Mary is ingrained into my very being. Watching the man who created it....teach me. Amazing. THANK YOU Michael, you Rock brother!
1983 to 1994... They did many fantastic songs
After Promised Land they self destruct, I m sad.
They will always be my fave band, but without Tate-DeGarmo the Magic is gone
Actually, in would have to of agree. They picked back up again when Todd joined the band.
He and his daughter are CZcams under The Rue.
Happy Birthday Mike!!! You are amazing! What a talent!!! Thanks for your lesson! ❤😘🇧🇷
Empire & Operation MindCrime are Absolutely Iconic & Masterpieces of Music ❤🙏🤘
As a wee lad starting out on guitar I learned parts of most tunes off the album The Warning by ear. The guitar playing on that is pretty straightforward and accessible, almost riff rock. OM might be my favourite album ever, and RFO is not far behind. On those albums the guitar composing/playing started going way out of the box, the furthest you could get from riff rock. I mean this as the highest complement. I had little urge to learn it as I think it's how all 5 guys work together in the composition that makes it so special. That Suite Sister Mary bit shown here is pretty crazy stuff, almost doesn't sound great by itself, but it's a masterpiece when played within the ebb and flow of the entire album.
Absolutely LOVE "Suite Sister Mary." Wonderful note choices. I believe it to be their "Stairway to Heaven."
Queensryche since 1983 up until the split have been my favorite band. I will go on record and say that their masterpiece was "The Warning". The album was musically and lyrically haunting and beautiful. I know, I know, I know "Operation Mindcrime" is phenomenal and I get it.
Rage for Order has some really awesome stuff on it, that album really hooked me into the band, then I went backwards, fell in love with the EP and then Warning.. .and of course Mindcrime.
Suite sister Mary still gives me chills after all these years. First concert I saw,was 14(Metallica /queensryche 89).Mindcrime is a masterpiece.
HA! Mine too. They were so different llive than what I expected. After QR finished thier set I was like MetalliWHO? WTF just happened? My mind was blown seeing them live. I'll never forget that night
God your earlier music was so far ahead of where heavy metal gravitated to. Tate's voice always stands out, but the rifts you and Chris were creating so young were heart racing and synced in a way that blew me away, not to mention an amazing drummer. Operation Mindcrime is the most epic rock opera expanding me to explore Savatage and its transformation into TSO.
Still love the Empire riff to this day. The new album is stellar. 10/10
I'll be in dream control tonight thinking about those super licks...Thanks Michael
Thank you for sharing these interesting techniques, great work it’s nice to see you’re doing what not many do. NM156 was ahead of time
Such under rated players. Amazing song writing skills and melodies.
I wish the original band would get back together, DeGarmo.....
Few years back I was prospecting gold in the mountains and a friend of mine picked me up drove to Rosemead and pick up his brother. From there to Sunset House of blues to see Queensryche for my birthday. At the show they brought out a cake for Wilton. It was his b day also. Feb 23. Best b day ever. Thanks Ron and Chris Strand.
Dude your solos have eluded me for years. I’d pay a million dollars for all of the Empire guitar solos.
It's very cool seeing Mike's picking technique up close; on the fly switching from scissor to straight sarod. I'll never forget seeing Queensrÿche for the first time in 1985 at the Reunion in Dallas. The duel solos were pure gold and inspired me to keep practicing.
Queensryche rocks! I've loved them since the early 90s when they released their "Empire" album!! 🎸🤯
Dude is so underrated as a player.
Still practice their songs on my electric and acoustic guitars weekly. Scale progressions and unique hand positions keep it fresh.
Awesome guitarist, great band.
Pleased to see the love for Michael. In the glory days all the accolades & poll voting was all about Chris. Ok he wrote most of the stuff but Michael is tops
That was awesome! Silent Lucidity solo guitar, by the guy who wrote it !
Great melodic and heavy styles played here and yes sometimes reminds me of Ozzy from the earlier 80's. very creative and very talented. Queen of the ryche and eyes of a stranger are some of the best rock songs ever written. Well done.
Feel? I'm trying not to feel a hand cramp from watching you go thru the Sister Mary chord progressions. Glad I'm a drummer. A 'Ryche' fan from the 4 song release. Great stuff, Michael Wilton...
Love the new singer and the new album. The whole new album is fantastic.
Amazing choice of chords and notes. See guys, chosing well the chords arrangement and note order in them, is one of the most crucial elements in building incredible songs. That sometimes is what really makes the difference for a band to "make it" or not. In the end, it's all about the hard work and the hours you put into creating something different and rich.
Oh joy! Glad to have this gem show up in my feed ... Thank you Micheal Wilton
That. Was. AWESOME!!!🤗🤗🤗
Queensryche tokyo 84 forever
One of my favourite guitarists!
Masterful, world class riffing! One of the best!
love Michael's playing great riffs. I parralel with his style a lot.
So 39 people took the time to thumbs down the guitar player giving a play along to the songs he's written..... what?
Thank you for the last three amazing albums, I really love them!
Thanks Mike! I have been struggling to find out how to play the verse of “Silent Lucidity” for weeks. Now I get the song from the man who played the original song. Awesome!
Great riffs. Well constructed & thought out . Nice playing too. Glad to see the Ryche getting (some) of the attention they deserve lately. Condition Human is a killer album tooCongrats
Michael wilton most likely assembled one of the best heavy metal albums ever created in music history.
Many great Queensryche songs. Operation: Mindcrime is a masterpiece.
One of the great guitarist...
now THAT is a good clean sound
Excellent vid and Thanks for many years of incredible guitar work Whip! Lookin forward to seeing Queensryche on tour, the new band is awesome
An overlooked impressive aspect of hard rock/ metal players is the ability in a full show stand (1 1/2- 2+ hours) and deliver the parts with energy and clarity. Its one thing to be able to sit comfortably and.. Saw "The Ryche" in 91'. Suicidal Tendencies was opening. My dad took me after work just to go and get a t-shirt (we didn't have tickets). There were tickets available. So we stayed to see the show. Yay!
sounds like your dad is a good one.
+Bodyknowledge 77 Cool Dad!
+raytheprinter Yeah he's had the moments! Not a music/rock guy at all and went to this show and some others ( GNR/ Soundgarden)
+Bodyknowledge 77 Seen that same exact show in Oklahoma City
I saw that same tour here in Kansas City, MO...they did Operation: Mindcrime in it's entirety! Ranks in my top 5 of concerts I've attended ;)
Nicely done! Thank you for sharing your talent.
The most underrated guitarist of all time in my opinion he kicks everybody's ass
The new album KILLS!!!
Ahhhhh, Michael and Chris..... the best 2axes of our time.
Thank you so much, Michael
Thanks Mike!
The guitars in Queensryche are amazing. I caught these guys in Buffalo NY when they did Operation Mindcrime front to back! Epic!
Empire tour?
Saw em in 2006 in Albany was my first concert where they did mind crime 1&2 front to back
I remember buying the EP when it first came out every song rock's and operation mind crime and the warning album also amazing
Yea Whip!!!!! Still and always will kick ass!
Thank you Michael!
Queensryche guitar work has always been Top Notch stuff, classic
That was fun, think ill watch it again
Love that guitar design Reminds me of my old Powell Perallta skateboard called Bones I had when I was like 12 ...
Beautiful lesson, thank you.
*I wish I had CZcams w/ all these pros to watch when I was starting out in '85.*
Its fun just watching him riff out
Hey WHIP !! Mike,You are BY Far my Favorite guitarist and had the most influence on my playing,between You and Chris when he was Still there with You. NOW,If it wasn't for YOU and Scott Rockenfield,I DOUBT Anyone could pull of Your Parts in any way,shape,or form. I'm a Disabled Gulf war vet that learned A LOT of your songs off Empire,Operation Mindcrime,and,I WISH I could find someone who knows as MUCH Queensryche as I do to JAM WITH,.. : ) (I don't get out much anymore,I've got Degenerative Disc disease,a failed Spine fusion,and, a GROCERY LIST of Other Health Problems,It SUCKS ! I Had the Glow in the dark LTD,but,I had to sell everything when I applied to get on disability,If I would have known how they were going to SCREW ME,I would Just have KEPT IT. Anyway,THANKS for the Song samples,I used to write you on Your Page,but,you were usually on tour and would just give us Updates. THANKS FOR THE Mini Lessons!! Take care and Hopefully see You Soon! Take Care!Bob MalinGlendora,New Jersey
Geoff Tate's band are taking notes on how to properly play the parts on the older songs.
I saw them a couple of weeks ago and he was spot on
Michael, You Rock!!!!
I could listen to the silent lucidity part on a loop for the rest of my life.
You’re awesome!
Great video Michael 🎸 👍
Dude you are a true master guitar player
Thanks Mike. I'm a huge fan. Saw you at House of Blues, Disneyland.
Awesome stuff, Michael! Thanks!!!
