Great Guitar Solos // A Trip in the 70's (Original version WITH Stairway to Heaven!)

[@jayleigh9523]

i had grown up with all these musics while teenage. really great and got energy by listening again. i am 62 years old.

[@neilcairns1359]

I was 16 1970 and possess every album in vinyl this amazing guy just played ❤ just amazing playing to me back to a lifetime ago !! I sometimes have to pinch myself so i remember how lucky was i 😅❤

[@earlycuyler8719]

To the amateur it may go unnoticed but after being a player for thirty years and nowhere near as good as this guy, i noticed how he not only played these pieces but became the players themselves! He got everything so spot on from the vibratos to the pick attack, even knoflers finger picking! These are things that make good guitar players into great guitar players.

[@jdc1957]

I picked up on "Mark" as well.

[@Garstonk]

Great stuff....with the exception of Layla.

[@57JackCaptainSparrow]

@@Garstonk Even so, the Layla solo was really quite well done... transgressions aside, I defend the cover as a 9.8 out of 10... technically not all quite there, but superb nonetheless

[@derbigpr500]

Still, make you realize how well Mark played Sultans of Swing when even someone like this guy who is really good at playing guitar can't make it sound anywhere near as good as the original.

[@kenhall8092]

I'm a player too and I agree - the guy's got soul. And didya see them geetars? I'm drooling.......... : )

[@CapitanOppi0]

Solos are like a language we don't speak but that we understand with our soul

[@jcheco59]

A cry from the soul

[@joebloggs1444]

If only guitarists still played like this...I still do...and always will...😎👍

[@MrJacks1959]

I think this young man disproves what you just said. 😅

[@robertYTB78g]

Fantastic that younger people are still recognising and keeping alive the genius of these Guitarists. The number of people who can CREATE another really original solo of the standard of these solos seems to be one in a million.

[@jingmanalaysay1049]

Thats just how amazing 70's is. Pure talent era.

[@davegreathouse7992]

Comfortably AWESOME!! A truly amazing and jaw dropping performance

[@sintonia4339]

All of them were amazing, but when it was time for Comfortably Numb you left me speechless. It's flawless.

[@Carlos-Rodrigues]

Santi Sucks me too omg beautiful playing

[@bitmapman]

I really like the ode to Sid w/ the "Shine On" tidbit @ the end. Nice touch and was the sort of thing PF was know to do in their mid 70s shows.

[@mp-gt9hf]

eruptionnnnn....!!!!

[@CambrianExplo2PermianExtiction]

@Bitmapman Yea I saw that... Very nice. I was growing up with all of this on the radio, and then on my vinyl and cassettes. But this penetrated all consciousness and opened up a door to a place in my soul, a place called "Rock and roll?" I just remembered one great solo by TN... with Amboy Dukes. 60s though. Anyway, I have hope for the future if we have people like this. And like these kids: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nGbMqnx_iaypidk

[@JayBigDadyCy]

What's most amazing is that you nailed a ton of intricacies in these solos. You weren't just playing the notes. You attacked them how the guys playing them did and that's simply astonishing. Mad props.

[@cpt.planet9103]

Am i the only one who thinks hotel California was the best solo? Every notes, every bends... man everything is perfect.

[@mingury]

Your bend is so flawless and perfectly in tune. Enjoyed it very much, excellent work!!

[@GameOverAus]

Gifted doesn't describe it. You are truly AWESOME!!!!!

[@kevindean6600]

Well I just got home and I’m up after 60 hours of night shift this week. playin guitar. Learning a couple songs. Waiting for my toddlers to wake up. Tired as hell. Sipping scotch. This has been the best part of my long day. Thanks for lovin’ good music pal.

[@dwaynegoforth3246]

There are a few guitarists that can bring the instrument to life, and then, the rest of us standing in awe. Totally amazing talent !!!

[@gavinsanford3576]

You nailed all of these, but you did comfortably numb so god damn good, its pretty unbelievable

[@ugowar]

Every time I hear the Comfortably Numb solo I get chills running down my spine.

[@thandalion6313]

When I started learning almost three years ago Comfortably Numb solo was one of my goals. Just when I was starting to think I was playing it fairly well I watched this video and I've realised how bad my version is. The video has given me some ideas on areas for improvement though.

[@gavinsanford3576]

Thanda Lion Thats all you can do is improve if you keep playing.

[@pawelsigurski9131]

Check this - th best CN on YT , though Pulse version kzbin.info/www/bejne/r5-2lGWljsqgqac

[@gavinsanford3576]

theultimatexperience Well its ok if your not big into pink floyd, but the solos in comfortably numb are awesome because of the amount of emotion david gilmour puts into each note, instead of playing 3000 notes per second. Oh and I would recommend listening to full albums instead of listening to single songs by pink floyd. A lot of there songs end up leading into other songs. Wish you were here and dark side of the moon are two albums I would listen to from start to finish.

[@betao_lenda]

Thank God I got to live every single one of them, and still listen to them, driving, at home, at work, wherever. Good ol' times when there was musicians doing some serious stuff. Long live rock'n'roll. Good job, mate.

[@thetuxedotesla1149]

I literally do not even have words. I'm just speechless. Sir you are such a phenomenal musician in your own right. But as someone else said in this comment section, you not only played things perfectly, but you really channeled each guitarist. All of that would have been amazing in itself, but your choice of songs, and then the way you transitioned from one song to the other., the modified ending to the hotel california solo so that it went right into Sultans of swing.... the video editing. Everything... just literally EVERYTHING was perfect and more than that. Everything touched my soul. I'm not kidding, I dang near cried during some of those solos. You have a gift my friend. I really hope your video blows up and goes viral because you so deserve it. What a fantastic job. Thank you so much for sharing this with us.

[@phillipallen3468]

Of course, at my age, I remember every one of those pieces. Most I learned back in the day. Maybe my ears are just getting old and wonky, but damn it all, you actually played each and every one better than how I remember them being played by the original artists -- better technique and certainly much better feeling. Just astoundingly wonderful. I know I'll probably get clobbered for saying that, but the fact is: it is true. You are an astonishingly superior guitarist. And thank you for making this video for all of us -- all of us who remember.

[@simonc61]

Just when you think you're becoming an ok guitar player after 40 odd years a dude like this comes along and it's back to the drawing board. Incredible, what a talent. Only thing that’s missing is Sylvia by Focus and a Genesis/Steve Hackett track :-)

Very nice touch at the end with the riff from Shine on You Crazy Diamond.

[@JohnBindon]

That was very nice ! Mark Knofler is hard to play for many - if they try to play like he did - he played all his stuff with no pick at all ! Great job there. That Stairway to Heaven solo is one of the most incredible solos of all time ! Europa was awesome ! In 1980, when Led Zeppelin was on their last tour ever in Europe - Carlos Santana gave them a shout out right before he played "Europa" at his show ! Love that song.

[@onlyrick]

Great choices, superb playing and nice tones. Nice to hear both Felder's and Walsh's solos but my favorite solo of all time is on "One of These Nights". Still gives me goosebumps. Good job - keep it up and Be Cool.
