In an interview on the ‘World Wide Live’ video, he mentioned that his goal is not to become the best or fastest guitarist, but to be a very good composer. In most Scorpions songs, guitar solos are performed by lead guitarist Matthias Jabs, but there are some notable exceptions, in which Rudolf plays the solos, such as “Wind of Change”, “Always Somewhere”, “Still Loving You”, “Send Me an Angel”, “Lady Starlight”, “As Soon as the Good Times Roll”, “When The Smoke is Going Down”, “Animal Magnetism”, “Through My Eyes” “Coast to Coast” (second solo), “SLY” and “Big City Nights”.
Rudolf Schenker is known for his energetic riffing and wild live performances, which often include swinging his guitar over his head and throwing the guitar up and catching it.
