Huh? I put guitar solos on my new songs. Lorna Shore has solos. Thornhill’s Casanova has a solo. Polyphia is huge. The guitarists that get the most views of SM are doing solos. I don’t get this logic

I'd argue that Die with a Smile kinda does have a small guitar solo

Basically the world has changed into slow soft electronic or rhymix cacthy songs and that whars trend this times one of the many reason

Everyone should check out king gizzard and the lizard wizard

You are talking about stupid mainstream music, nowadays top40 drivel. That's music for the stupids. There's enough great music out there, also with great solos.

Nice story, but it's junk food. No offense, but your take on Hip Hop and EDM is biased and dismissive af and it almost sounds like you're personally pissed or hurt by it. Like, I make prog rock and jazz fusion-y stuff, I have no business beating down other genres. Just cause something is not made with real instruments doesn't make it any less music or art. What about guys like Telefon Tel Aviv? Apen Twin? Also, you assume all their music is sampled. That's also absolutely false. Seriously, you seem like a genuine guy, but before having opinions on stuff you clearly lack knowledge of, educate yourself a little, because you seem too emotional and not objectively oriented.

😂😂🎉🎉nothing like the real thing....🎉

Right alongside Sax solo time!

Guitar solos are probably some form of colonialism or something, by now.

Another trend I see are the female artists and bands embracing guitar based music (albeit not so much in the US), and wow, can they play!

There are tasteful solos that don't "wear out their welcome", so to speak. And there are boring solos that go on for waaaaay too long (à la Jerry Garcia), jazz noodling that only the snobbish fanboys enjoy (Holdsworth), rock shredding that says very little with a million notes (Malmstee), egomaniac solos that show off the master's technique and musical knowledge but are utterly forgettable and boring asf (Zzzzzzzzzzzapa). Butt hurt fanboys on the way to defend their hero 👇

That''s because, right now, pop music pretty much sucks.

KING GIZZARD AND THE LIZARD WIZARD RARRRRGH

I originally thought this song was about ww2 pausing for christmas

Dude filmed this like a guitar solo murder mystery. Love it

I may be dating myself and your self as well but bro... Arctic Monkeys have been around for 20 years and peaked commercially 11 years ago :D

You know, there's a lot of guitar, solos on the internet. And you know you have to look at in a different area. Just like you, I'm watching you on the internet. And the internet's pretty powerful. I got nothing against hip-hop and wrapping all that stuff, but it did take away from guitar. There's no doubt, but you know somebody that guitar can fit into that music too. If somebody made the effort to try and be creative. That's what I believe so you guys gotta think hard. How to be creative with different types of music and incorporate the guitar in it? That's all I have to say and thanks.

It’s punk’s fault

Synthwave and retrowave create awesome guitar solos, Le Brock. Mcrocklin & Hutch, Kalax, Kidburn, The midnight, At 1980,

The guitarist that has wowed me the most in recent times is Marcin. Classically trained and integrating modern techniques like no one I’ve ever seen or heard. The guys ridiculously talented. Tommy Emmanuel remains my top player, though.

sometimes i remember this video and refer to teenagers as 'the brilliant teenagers'

Bro you're too young. You should not be making videos about things you have no idea about. If you didn't live in that era you have no business saying that Prince and Neil Young we're in some of the biggest bands on the planets when you're talking about guitar solos dude lol guitar solos and songs left us in the late 80s. There are still shredders out there. But the biggest Band by far in the early 80s was Van Halen. And Eddie changed the game. Like and then you have guys like Joe Satriani and Steve Vai who were considered virtuosos back then and then you have all of the hair metal bands that were all really accomplished soloists. Lake George lynch, and Warren DiMartini, and Vito Bratta and so many others that I could go on and on but those are just a couple that I ripped off the top of my head. And sure David Gilmour is an awesome guitar player but he was by no means some kind of soloing god! He certainly wasn't a shredder. Stick to things that you know, like Ritalin and getting trophies just for showing up and loving Democrats😂😂

Analyze the violin; once the New comer mainstream instrument, filled with virtuosos and myths surrounding them like heroes. Then new technology came through and with it, the violin (along with academic/classical music) got replaced with newer instruments/genres. It is sad however, that it seems we are aiming for 100% digitally/artifically made music. I mean, sure, some of us musicians practice everyday but our job has been demoted to a "skilled hobbyist" at best. This is true especially if you live in latin america where people only listen to reggaeton

Music is music, tools are tools.

Grunge is pretty much the only genre that didn't play any, but grunge is pretty much dead and gone today. Jerry Cantrell was probably the closest to a guitar hero out of that whole genre, and he didn't really shredd . I hear tons of solos today though. Seems like just that one little hiccup in the early 90's. Thank God we had Dimebag, Chuck Shouldiner, (RIP) and Andreas Kisser leading the way back then.

talking about the new generation of guitarrists, i think is good to mention about the band polyphia, those guys are crazy

Mateus Asato is from Brazil. The guitar solo never went away there.

You got to check you Hudson Davis, he is the real deal.

Guitars are corny af.

Emo trap bring back guitar

I just don’t like when people make it certain genres aren’t as worth listening to as others. I’m as big a fan of Prince and Eddie Van Halen as I am of playboi carti and Kendrick Lamar. Everyone listen and loves everything now and I think its for the better

it's because music industry became a shit show and you basicly don't need any talent to make it nowadays. you just need some good marketing....... producers who to be honest are doing like 80% of the job and should get the lions share of the glory are somehow less known than some talentless idiots that need a ton of autotune just to not sound like shit and even then they won't perform live because they are not able to so they use backing track and somehow people are listening to that crap. fuck that shit. give me back my 70's and 80's man. I'm gonna rip some crazy good songs on my flying v now. have a great day guys!

You still believe the c bs?! 😅😂🤢🤮

Polyphia

For western music that is, guitar solos are almost non-existent. But for Asian music, there are a looooooot of guitar solos from newer artists

Pink Pony Club Song by Chappell Roan has a guitar solo

A new indie band called acid brain has some banger guitar solos! They're from Taiwan, please check them out!

so we talk about the guitar making a comeback but we wont mention john mayer?

Nuno Bettencourt made it safe to play your instrument well again.

Not to brag but I would’ve made it in the 80’s with my epic solo for my song: “Pirate mommy” 😎

Guitar Solos were never out of the scene, it was just the scene becoming overcrowded by automated music.

1. SexyBack 2. What goes around comes around 3. Mirrors 4. Like I love you 5. Cry me a River

In all its history there are very few great solos like in "Stairway to Heaven," "Comfortably Numb," and "Hotel California." Most solos just ruin the flow of the song and sound like they did them because it was a mandatory cliche.

They avoid guitar solos because they don't have the musicality to craft a good solo.

This gives me a sigh of relief. The absence of physical instruments has many detrimental effects. Less people knowing how to actually play instruments instead of having a machine do it for them. There's no band on stage for a performance. There's way more emotion and personality with a human playing each instrument. There's no memorabilia like pics or drumsticks. Good things take time and energy. There's nothing like a real band.

The trend begun much earlier with artists like David Maxim Micic, Plini...

Only new mainstream band that plays guitar solo now is Maneskin. The solo on their song The Loneliest blew me away. Other than them very few new bands play solos
