This solo is so simplistic, but then you take into account the sheer ridiculous amount of skill necessary to make this sound halfway decent and you're just completely blown away. I think this proves that simplistic music can be good as can technially difficult songs.

[@roneyrodrigues4321]

really man, a good guitarist can turn the simple into a full plate! Another guitarist I love is John Frusciante from RHCP, his solos aren't usually complex, but his unique way of playing makes them real works of art. In fact, his improvisation is absurd, his live solos are usually 300 times better than studio ones

[@infinitetriple8216]

[@sunnyjim1355]

"I think this proves that simplistic music can be good as can technially (sic) difficult songs". No. It really doesn't prove jack-shit. 😂

[@BD-yl5mh]

This solo shows you just how much joy can be extracted from a simple pentatonic scale. I was listening to this sat in front of a keyboard once and tried to kinda play along and was blown away by the fact that it was almost intuitive. The whole thing is essentially just variations on a pentatonic scale. Like it really doesn’t do anything fancy. But it’s SO. FREAKING. BEAUTIFUL

[@AntarikshRajkonwar]

Can you elaborate? I'm a beginner guitarist and want to understand how pentatonic scale can be used to make music?

[@danielcash1037]

@@AntarikshRajkonwar I think with any instrument really, if you're wanting to learn how to use the pentatonic scale, learn riffs and solos and listen to music is important. But Just sitting there and messing around creating random stuff is very powerful too. See what you can come up with. different musicians do differnet things with the pentatonic scale (they also include other notes). Cool thing with the guitar is that the same notes can be played in multiple different shapes (12 fret of d sting is the same as the 7th fret of the A string). But each shape lends itself well to different licks. E.g. your fingers can reach particular notes easier in one shape than they can in another. Look up the CAGED system. For starters, just look at the E and A shapes. Learn the E first and then the A and mess around. then learn what's called an arpeggio (which is just a broken chord) to move from one shape to the next. After that, learn the BB box (just a box containing the pentatonic notes in a convienient shape) and learn how to transition from all those shapes with an arpeggio to bridge the gap. then you're gonna sound pretty cool.

[@sethsballs8479]

you nailed this. Seriously man. As a musician (not necessarily a guitarist) who loves this solo even more than "Stairway to heaven" I feel you're playing is both keen and on point. You more than successfully executed one of the greatest guitar solos off all time. For that, I commend and respect you. Awesome job, mate.

[@davegrohl7666]

Seth Krantz OK, this solo is fantastic, but better than Stairway to Heaven, really?

[@sethsballs8479]

I like the album version of this solo more than stairway... However, there are live versions of stairway out there that blow every other solo out of the water.

[@INSOMNIAC2017]

This was my mums favorite song and kinda one of mine to. It was even played at her funeral a few years ago, My mum used to sing in a band in the 60's/70's and would always say out of all the guitarist she has met none of them can confidently play this guitar solo and therefor never played the song in any of their gigs she went to. My mum rocked till the day she died. R.I.P mum I know you would have loved this guy and his video for pulling this off. Kudos Danny!

Matthieu Oliver doesnt come as much of a surprise, metal isn't really great for solos. Solos have feeling and emotion. Classic rock/southern rock /blues all have a certain emotion in them that metal doesn't. Metal generally gives a more angry vibe
