Steve Morse “Punches In” a Solo for Coldplay’s “Fix You” | AMS’s Punch In with the Pros Ep. 2
Steve Morse, legendary guitar virtuoso, came through our studio and played a little game that we like to call “Punch In with the Pros”! We had Steve listen to the track “Fix You” by Coldplay, without the guitar solo, and had him fill in some of his famous soaring melodies and improvise a brand-new solo of his own. If this doesn’t fix you, then nothing will.

I would buy an album of just Steve experimenting and explaining what he is doing; his playing is still amazing, one of the best guitarists ever
Magnifique !!!
These outstanding guitarist are in short supply Steve please clone and help save music we need you ????!!!
God, Coldplay is dull as dirt.
Steve gets an instant like.
Steve Morse is one of my favorite guitarists of all time.
His solos over Haunted, Sometimes I feel like screaming, All the time in the world are simply perfect.
Thanks for letting us hear the thought process of the legend himself
John Petrucci must've had a lot of Steve Morse influence in him because his phrasing borrows a lot from Steve lol
guess you copied it.
I know all about the master Steve Morse. I hung out with him some in southern Florida in the early 90’s, but I have no clue who Coldplay is. ????
He played with Deep Purple to a half empty local football field in my hometown in Spain (which has less population than people fits in Wembley Stadium) like if he was playing the biggest gig of his life, long out of this world solo parts included. Don Airey was in keyboards, Glover and Gillan had white hair already and they didn't stopped dancing and singing like heaven for nearly 2 hours. It was the first big rock band concert I went in my life and my parents would let me bring my little sister with me. I will NEVER forget it man!!
스티브가 딕시 드렉스 시절 만든 hereafter, night meets light, long slow distance 같은 곡을 듣다보면
마치 베토벤이나 모차르트 같은 클래식 음악가가 현대에 guitarist 로 환생 한 것 같다는 느낌을 주곤 합니다
스티브는 기타리스트로도 거장이지만 그보다는 작곡가로 훨씬 재조명 받아야 할 위대한 뮤지션 입니다
I love Steve Morse but I have tried and failed to like anything from Coldplay since Yellow which was a great song. Very sad sounding in a boring way. Steve is always great.
For me, he is simply the best guitarist to ever grace Deep Purple.. 'sometimes I feel like screaming' is by far one of my favourite tracks that he worked on.
This song sucks so bad… Mr Morse deserved better.
0:47 what about Flying Colors? What a sacrilege, man. ????
????????????
as opposed to johnny's 3 note solo lol
Omg I love this! Saw Steve with Deep Purple a few years ago, not long after Jon Lord passed away. It pains me that guitar players like this are a dying breed ????
"I would always try something that would get me a big, fat NO." Great statement!
You’re still fantastic Steve.,great playing. Loving your amps I have the large & small version. And just so good. But you are the expert. Cool.
Simply the greatest guitarist of all time.
Thanks for having me. Lots of fun to do, appreciate everyone checking it out.
Do we know what Jonny Buckland thought of Steve adding to the track?
This man is amazing, true legend ????
Steve is so unbelievable intense and awesome, love it to the bones ❤????????
I love Steve Morse from the bottom of my heart, this man is amazing and nobody can play so deeply and beatiful like him
"Who forgot to hit record?"????
I still play by anchoring the heel of my hand 'cuz I also favor palm muting. I'm 70, but I know that technique hurts some players.
That last pass before the dirty voice would sound so much better off a Tele.
*Steve has better ideas than most producers.????
N1 on Earth
He's spent 50+ years, learning what not to play, as much as what will. Incredible! Thank you, Steve!
In certain passages the melody was so beautifil that I cried for the emotion.
Steve Morse is eternal!! Unparalleled!!
More of these videos, please, just as DRUMEO does with drummers! Also more episodes with Steve Morse!
Legendary Steve Morse graces us with his magic. Pure genius carried in complete humility. Love this man.
It's incredible how much a solo can elevate a song like this…popular music lost a lot when it lost solos.
Steve is simply one of the most musical and melodic guitarists ever. I love everything about his work, from the Dixie Dregs to Deep Purple, to his solo albums and Flying Colors… I even got his Music Man! Love you man!
Many thanks to Steve and the crew at AMS for sharing this wonderful lesson on how he would approach a studio engagement and contribute to a song. Steve freely shares practical knowledge honed from decades of professional experience across an extraordinarily wide spectrum of musical styles and artistic endeavors. True to form, he is inquisitive, thoughtful, and articulate as he expands the creative boundaries others might limit themselves within, all the while respecting the original work. Kudos to you, Steve. You set an example others should aspire towards. Be well.
Brilliant. Such an amazing musician.
What a legend. I have many, many guitar heroes. However, after all is said and done, I think Steve is my all-time favourite.
Steve is real musician
The best guitarist in the world and my biggest influence, in my opinion! ????????
What a legend and down to earth at the same time! God bless Steve, love him!
