[@josephwong1703]

I think modern guitarists are removing the barriers between technics and feelings as there are more new talents popping up in the past decades, like neil zaza, plini, polyphia and nick johnson Still, these classic solos are at the top of the guitar solo universe as building a melody with feelings and spirit while keeping everything simple is hard

I would add the solo to Brothers In Arms to the list. It's a great example of phrasing, feel and choosing when NOT to play notes. As a bonus I would add Apache. Not because it's hard to play, but because it's hard to play well.

[@in23nert]

John Frusciante's solo in 'Could Have Lied' off Blood Sugar Sex Magik has always been a favorite of mine. I'm not saying it belongs on this list, but it was the one I was hoping you'd do when RHCP came up. That solo, in the context of the song, conveys heartbreak and it is something I will listen to and just love like the first time, every time.

[@gossferneyhough]

That's a great one. My favorite is his solo in "Wet Sand"

[@fueledbydanny]

well I was about to comment this exact comment but you beat me to it

[@flaro38]

100% agree, the solo in I could have lied is probably my favourite ever. But not only this: almost every live version of Californication has a better solo than the album version's. Cali album solo is just not a good pick for RHCP solos.

[@Axeman1980]

First solo I ever learned. Coulda started with something way easier and it took months but it was worth it

[@DogZy9]

Solo in She's Only 18 is one of the tastiest in his opus, I would put it up there with others mentioned here. Just... ahh [stank face]

I’d recommend taking a look at Mark Knopfler’s ‘Local Hero’, an entirely instrumental piece of film music he wrote. The melody is that catchy that the Newcastle Stadium uses it as it’s intro song every home game. Oh and a guitar solo list without Mark Knopfler, for me, is not complete. Don’t neglect the fingerpickers out there 😉

I also missed Mark Knopfler... for me, the solo in Tunnel of Love is my absolut favourit.

The movie "Local Hero" is a classic. The players are so perfect, and the garage band in the movie with the classic name "The Acetones" PERFECT. How to pronounce that haha. Like the solvent?

[@dantealighieri6613]

I think John Frusciante is a modern day virtuoso. His approach to riff-writing is brilliant. Everyone knows playing Snow and Under the Bridge in the correct tempo to be a technically difficult challenge, but there are other songs that slip the radar quite often. Give it away with its fast doublestops or the exceedingly funky opening to Subway to Venus immediately come to mind.

[@timcole421]

My buddy describes him as a modern day Hendrix. Definitely an influence there, John is massively underrated.

[@zeirland5556]

Not only incredible playing, but I love how Paul matched the guitars themselves to the artist and style of each song. The Fender Jazzmaster is very similar to Cobain's Mustang which was a really nice touch. Then a Les Paul for Clapton's"Lucy", a Strat for John Mayer, and even a Duesenberg Fullerton CC to represent Frusciante's '55 Gretsch White Falcon. Not to mention, the intro was a cinematic experience. Top tier video Paul! Thanks for all the great content.

How important is it to match the guitars to the style of the song? I'm looking to buy my first electric guitar and I don't wanna end up locking myself into just a specific style since I'd like to probably try all of sorts of different songs (like all of the solos Paul played here, for example).

[@simonemarcuzzi926]

All iconic solos, but I'll introduce you to a solo that probably outside of Italy no one, or very few, knows about and that in my humble opinion deserves a place into the "all time greats" list: the outro solo of "Gli angeli" by Vasco Rossi. The song was published back in 1996 and featured a music video directed by Roman Polansky (still probably the most expensive video of italian music). The outro solo is a masterpiece played by Michael Landau, probably using his '63 Stratocaster; on the video is shorter than on the album (because of the "5 minutes limit" of MTV and radio) so for who's interested I suggest to listen to it through a streaming service to get the full 2 minutes and 20 seconds version.

Great video. You did a good job showing how there’s a lot of great sounding solos that are doable for less experienced guitarists unlike Tornado of Souls/Sweet Child O’ Mine and stuff like that. All of Gilmour’s stuff sounds amazing and isn’t too hard and same with some of Slash’s stuff (November Rain/Knockin on Heaven’s door). I’d love to see another video like this but with harder solos! This was cool though brother! For fun here’s some solos I think are crazy awesome Sweet Tooth/Mata Hari - Intervals Comfortably Numb 2nd solo - Pink Floyd (1994 pulse concert version is great) I’m the One - Van Halen Idk all the names but there’s a clip on KZbin called like “Top 10 John Petrucci solos” and it’s wild And many more

Goosebumps everytime I hear that Pink Floyd solo! So well performed as well! Great stuff Paul! Also love the addition of the magical closet where you pull out everything! Did I also spot a cheecky 11th solo on there? Or am I just imagining things? 😁

Interesting thing about that solo is that David Gilmour never changed it. On the outro solo he always goes crazy. No two performances are the same. But the middle solo he always plays just like it is on the album. I wonder why that is...

@@CristiNeagu because it's perfect

All awesome picks, and I would definitely add a solo or two by Slash from the classic GNR period to this list. He could rip when he wanted to but he's played some pretty iconic stuff that was beautifully simplistic. Also Alex Lifeson's solo on Limelight from Rush's Moving Pictures. That solo is really not technically difficult to play and it's a masterpiece. Good luck getting the feel just right, although I'm sure you can nail it. Phenomenal playing.

Really well played! And I love the way you filmed everything. You got skills in filming as well as playing the guitar. Great stuff!!! 🕺🤘😈

[@AlistairDsilva]

That was an amazing lineup of some of the best solos 👌

You don’t even have to be a guitarist to enjoy Paul’s videos, like his cinematic intros are amazing.

[@EddieLe-0311]

Thx for all the great songs!

Thanks for this post! Grateful for KZbin!

[@richardjansen3317]

Great list, thank you. I love it that the song Fade to Black is on it. Missing yet are Jimi Hendrix(Little Wing), Angus Young (shook me all night long), Ritchie Blackmore (Highway star), Mark Knopfler, Jimmy Page and Charlie Starr.

[@chxt0689]

Yep. Mark Knopfler has great guitar solos.

[@TheGuitarEffect]

Great video. Your editing is so slick mate. Your stuff just has such a sophisticated upmarket feel off it. Love it. No right or wrong list but my favorite 3 iconic solos ever are: 1. The end of Paranoid Android. Jonny Greenwood. 2. Alive. Mike McCready. 3. Heart shaped box. Kurt Kobain. Spoken like a true GENX old man!!!

[@sushantthakuri3332]

Expressions are priceless pure emotion 🙌🙌🙌

[@chadkey3519]

Perfect scenes, script and edit. Well done 👍🏼 👏🏼

This most underrated and overlooked tune should be checked out: "Tunnel of Love" - Dire Straits, at minute 5.59. One of the most simple and yet amazing moving solos I've ever heard. BTW.... Your vids are truly fantastic and extremely well made. The best I've seen so far 👏👏👏
