Iconic Guitar Solos and What to Learn From Them

[@math001]

The way the Stairway solo strats is pretty much a staple of blues. Such an important thing to learn

[@detroit8026]

Keep making these videos the way you do them! I take you more seriously because you obviously approach this in a very serious way.

[@rockpapersniper5105]

I ordered my first guitar and was watching some of your earlier videos pretty inspiring

[@jeffreyeagen4896]

Very cool! And yet again you make it look easy!

[@MangoGuitar]

thank you! :)

[@TheHylianBatman]

The way you dance around the fretboard is extremely impressive! What progress you have made! In my field, we call what you describe here "stealing like an artist". You break down what other people are doing into little pieces, rotate some, reorder some, and then, ta-da, you get a new idea. We do it all the time! There's the old saying, "There's nothing original under the sun", and it's true enough! Fantastic job! Long live Ukraine!

Awesome playing, very insightful too

[@MangoGuitar]

thank you!

[@bittersweet_tragedy03]

you really know how to get funky and rock the house on your guitars!

[@stevecastiglione8901]

very good!! like the minor scale half steps...

[@MangoGuitar]

yeah it’s a great trick!!

[@rogerYT69]

cool playing ...stairway is an awesome solo 😊

[@detroit8026]

Guitar lore: Gilmour actually used a Les Paul Junior or Special with P90’s plugged straight into a mixing board for the Brick in the Wall solo.

[@MangoGuitar]

no way really?

[@detroit8026]

@ yes yes! It makes sense, too, because you can hear that p90 thicccness - it’s a very jazzy tone that’s distinct from a Stratocaster neck or middle pickup. Edit: Bob Ezrin said it in an interview, that’s how I learned that.

[@ianhector2957]

Absolutely brilliant...... but let's have that blues cd x

[@live2shredguy]

The first thing that I learned from the stairway to heaven solo was why Page choose to play that F note over the F chord, it wasn't just blues or pentatonics

[@HippieHemper]

Nice ❤

[@markosliodakis9436]

Nice work and very nice tone, especially with the Gibson!! Can you please tell me the amp and pedals you are using!?

[@MangoGuitar]

thank you! I’m just running through an interface and neural dsp plug ins :)

[@markosliodakis9436]

@MangoGuitar Thank you for answering! Have a great day! 👍🙂

My entire existence is characterized by profound suffering, filled with deep despair and marked by a constant sense of anguish characterized by overwhelming distress and relentless misery.

[@mpalin11]

Dude ...

[@lincolntx98]

hey what are those stands that you use on your studio monitors? Thanks

[@MangoGuitar]

they’re the Gorilla Studio GSM-100 (got them on amazon)

[@borderbluesman]

What is your approach to learning these solos?

[@Rick_Cleland]

I would take them in small parts.

[@MangoGuitar]

I listen to them and then either find the tab or learn it by ear!

[@muratceker4747]

You need to get better on relationship of your pickings and fret. There were still cutting parts in your solos

[@MangoGuitar]

yes true! we’re all learning
