MUSE - TOP 10 GUITAR SOLOS

[@jhmillard99]

Part 2 coming soon. Let me know what solos you want to hear in it!

[@roberujo]

Audioslave!!

[@ioupas]

Recess please !

[@renofumi28]

Will it be muse again? If yes then LET'S DO MICRO CUTS, UNNATURAL SELECTION AND MK ULTRA! 🤩

[@Daria-xe6cc]

Metallica!!

[@rfmaestro3728]

Knights of Cydonia please !

[@eyezik5743]

Matt Bellamy is a goddamn guitar god and does not receive remotely enough recognition for it. The parts he writes always fit the song perfectly and sound badass. I'm also a guitar player and he's been a massive influence on me. His vocals too-- I sing lead for my band and Bellamy has by far the best voice of anyone that we've tried to cover. I have a big range so I can hit his notes, but singing those notes with as much power as he does is insanely hard!

[@jhmillard99]

Yeah he’s on another planet. Imagine being able to come up with that stuff

[@timehunter9467]

Muse don’t get enough recognition full stop, Matt’s talent is incredible!

[@justamanchimp]

@@jhmillard99 I think you actually could come up with stuff just as good, you have all the tools with knowing a lot of the phrases and scales that matt uses. A lot of his solos are RATM style solos that play on specific scales and he likes to use contrast between octaves. It's all actually very logical when you break it down. You could so make your own solos just as good as matt bellamy with some practice 👍 Would be fascinating to see it! I'm a guitarist and I know slash stuff or David gilmour stuff so well I can improvise just as good

[@XxklonkbrunchxX]

hasn't he been recognized as one of the best guitarists of all time?

[@hugo-samson]

People like the flashy solos that's all. I can play all the solo from Muse pretty easily but could I come up with it ? Not in a thousand years. Creativity is way harder than the technique. It's just less impressive for the non-creative people. ( Pretty much 90% of people )

[@xavio3411]

I was like “ok this guy is good” the he played the solo of new born but H.A.A.R.P version… just amazing

[@Adrien.Letessier]

A true muse fan

[@ashhhhhley]

made me cry

[@JesonWu-z9d]

That solo on that version was superb!!!

[@milabosse9859]

That was super impressive, you are extremely talented. Here are some of my favorites solos:) 1. supremacy 2. the handler 3. easily 4. knights of cydonia 5. eternally missed 6. invincible 7. thoughts of a dying atheist 8. animals 9. darkshines 10. hysteria

[@milabosse9859]

and reapers needs to be in there as well!

[@jhmillard99]

Thank you! They are some amazing solos too, most of them will be in part 2!

[@milabosse9859]

@@jhmillard99 can’t wait :)

[@fierfighter]

Ooh there are a lot of good solos in Exogenesis Symphony pt.1 too, hoping to see it in part 2 :> Btw you're SO GOOD at playing the guitar!

[@juanfelipebravo6479]

You gotta be kidding me, I love all these songs as well! I'll add New Born and Psycho to the list.

[@charliehindle7796]

These riffs make me so emotional and I can’t even explain it

[@ewoudmeertens6956]

I'm a huge Muse fan and I usually hate people trying to copy great solos, but you killed it man! Absolutely insane

[@jhmillard99]

Thanks a lot this comment means a lot to me. These songs and solos are so intricate that I had to make sure I did it justice

[@ewoudmeertens6956]

@@jhmillard99 and you did do them all the justice they require

[@blammmed]

copy? you mean play?

[@keimalabo]

Hysteria and Reapers have got to be two of my favorite muse songs, you did those solos so well dude. Props to you!

[@jnl3564]

Muse has been my favorite band for 20 years!!!! You sound AMAZING

[@DangerrNoodle]

Great playing! Matt Bellamy is a super underrated guitarist. What a beast!

[@DangerrNoodle]

@Brass neck I just rarely see him get credited as a great guitarist on lists and such. Which is a shame. Muse headlined a festival I went to several years ago and they're possibly the best live band I've ever seen.

[@jeremynathanielsz9656]

100% agree with you

[@DaGuyRook]

Watching this two years after it was posted i am completely blown away by the likeness to the songs and the sensational skill it takes to play this so well!!! Well done!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@cripterix2167]

Uuuuhhhhh eterally missed, not a lot of people like or even know that song but it is definitely one of my favourite, the kinda jazz part is just gorgeous. And the solo sounds like sensual idk i love it.

[@jhmillard99]

Same, definitely my favourite b side, and criminally underrated song

[@tsunemi4869]

If you are a true Muse fan, you know it and like it :)

[@leonhughes9901]

Not many people care for blockades... I do. You do. Legend

[@leonhughes9901]

Mate. Your insane I think you've done them all... do me ..... ... . Erm....... do me......do US.....No. you've done them all.

[@JesonWu-z9d]

A true Muser here! Great that a top 10 Muse video remembers the deeper cuts like Eternally Missed & Invincible (and the HAARP version of New Born)… Awesome man!

[@buket006]

Dudee!!! You play so good, please continue posting amazing content i would really like to watch them.

[@jhmillard99]

Thanks a lot mate, I will do!!🤙

[@krismer6420]

you don’t understand how much i appreciate the fact that you have eternally missed in here. i used to obsess over this song on repeat

[@Hjs-s2s]

Your tone is so good 1. MK ultra 2. Exo Politics 3. Panic Station 4. Resistance 5. In your world 6. Thought Contagion 7. Glorious 8. Citizen Erased 9. Psycho 10. Defector

[@hachiroku2612]

You could actually make top 20 muse solo because there's more than 10 best muse solo 1. Unnatural Selection 2. Knight of Cydonia 3. New Born 4. Uprising 5. The Handler 6. Supermassive Blackhole 7. Psycho 8. Supremacy 9. Plug in Baby 10. Citizen Erased

[@ketone4444]

Yeah , he forgot plug in baby , the most strong solo , имхо

[@user-pw1ry6ct7l]

@@ketone4444 actually, plug in baby doesnt have a solo, is just the main riff

[@andrew._new]

@@user-pw1ry6ct7l yeah but Supremacy would be really cool

[@MrGeewiz1]

Darkshines should be one. It’s easily one of their top 5.

[@Atlas65]

Plug in Baby doesn't have a solo. Its simply the main riff, the hook of the song.

[@jessicaamado4042]

so glad you put reapers on here. Matt played the entire reapers solo directly in front of me when I was barricade for their drones tour. Best night of my life

[@girardjeremie1939]

Oh wow🔥 Your choice of solos is great, and you really have the same guitar tone! New Born, Eternally Missed, Reapers, Invincible, even Madness... and you play like him!

[@jhmillard99]

Thanks so much man !!

[@Queenmania2007]

Nailed the tones, great technique. Never been a huge fan of Muse solos but you've done a great job here!

[@jhmillard99]

Thanks so much mate !

[@nataliavazquez6603]

GOOOOD!!! So refreshing seeing some love for Eternally Missed, so incredibly underrated.

[@bxshaped27_79]

Idk why but I feel so proud when I see a fellow lefty guitarist on youtube

[@RoughRaiders13]

I like how you put your own little stank on every solo as Jack Black would say. Way better than a robotic copy. Your feeling came through too. Well done. 👏👏

[@benalfthan428]

if muse ever need a guitar player, you would be the one! Perfect! Really nice to see and hear!

[@jhmillard99]

Thanks a lot! That would be the dream haha

[@kaaft1262]

That bend at the start of Madness was nutty! Great work dude

[@dannya8614]

By the holy light. That is some serious talent you own James. Brilliant!

[@Crusifizerr]

Amazing man! Nailed everything, especially New Born and Reapers! My all time fav Muse solo: Exo-Politics. It's not complicated, nor long but it's very melodic, spacey and fits 100%.

[@LittleRedRidingHoo]

I love how you put some live version or just add a few improvisation that elevate the feel of those solos. You are definitely a talented musician.

[@jhmillard99]

Thanks a lot dude appreciate it🤙

[@c-st4r]

Great job on all of them dude but imo your Hysteria was 11/10

[@c-st4r]

I take it back - every single one is fucking impeccable

[@soggycheese8485]

no handler, dark shines, or citizen erased. but most importantly, panic station is their best solo. hands down. good list tho.

[@jhmillard99]

Handler and citizen are both in my part 2 vid

[@danielcroome9540]

I absolutely adore Guiding Light!! The song is all round great but the solo is insanely spine-tingling and magnificent!!!!

[@Jared861]

Damn you nailed every solo, good job dude!! The Cort Matt Bellamy signature you were using will be my next guitar.

[@israelr6636]

Dang man, you are a badass guitar player. I don't even know who Muse is but after hearing your awesome playing, I'm going to have to check them out.

[@tmnaaz4021]

Reapers has one of the greatest solos ever! Love how ferocious the whole song is. You did a great job brother.

[@Lennon179]

I seen these guys concert last year! They fricking rocked as hell

[@maelletribotix5552]

Really amazing ! You play very well ! I'm waiting for Part 2 😃

[@tjesson92]

Amazing playing. Your tone is spot on too. The pitch shifting stuff was bad ass

[@GraphyT_]

didn't know citizen erased and this solo is a dope damn, thanks for that

[@renofumi28]

It's nice to give some unpopular song an attention since no one really dig into a song like Eternally Missed, Blockades, Guiding Light and Animals, man! Hats off!

[@yangjinwhan5835]

Amazing play!! I forgot about the eternally missed for sometime. Thank you for the play

[@ComeInMyCave]

Wow this is the best guitar cove I've ever seen. It's so entertaining to see you play so neatly and with a very similar sound. Greetings from Muse fans from Indonesia 👍👍👍

[@craigwilkinson1882]

Man that's fuckin incredible thought I was actually listening to matt bellamy play top drawer stuff keep em coming

[@StellarStreak]

How could anyone not like content such as this! So much work must have gone into making an 8 minute video packed with so much content. It's a tribute worthy of MUSE. Just goes onto show the genius and musical diversity that MUSE and Bellamy can conjure up. Masterpieces. You are awesome, dude! Love your work. Cheers!

[@jhmillard99]

Thank you so much for your comment, I really appreciate that ! Muse are just amazing , hoping for some more solos on the new album

[@StellarStreak]

@@jhmillard99 You deserve all the praise and credit. So many years of practice have been crunched into a single video. On a side note, I was very hopeful of the new album. Sadly, I was kind of disappointed with the two releases made so far. Although "Won't Stand Down" has some of that old MUSE vibe and has grown on me after listening to it multiple times but I just can't for the love of God like "Compliance". Personal opinion: I just think it's bad. It's very jittery and abrupt and does not sound soothing or melodic at all. Rock songs just don't have such regular pauses interposed among words of a song.

[@lukemulvay3753]

Loved your take on the live New Born solo, great stuff!

[@JesusChrist-iz7fl]

matt bellamy is defo a top tier musician one of my favs of all time you done it justice good job my child.

[@razeclp3989]

Damn~~.. You just sound like if you were a background guitarist during Muse tours, haha. One word - Amazing.

Thank you so much mate, I wish I was haha that would be awesome !

[@thomasrowson7770]

Amazing guitar playing mate! Thoughts of a Dying Atheist has a great solo imo

[@jhmillard99]

Yeah i think absolution era has some of the best solos !

[@flickeringmadness]

Dude. Man. Broski. Sick, dank, nasty, rank, disgustingly good.... you are one hell of a guitar player man

[@MFMuller16]

Amazing choice of Muse songs and amazing playing. So amazing I had to subscribe ;-) I loved Invincible, Blockades and New Born. I'm a begginer guitar player and watching this video was super motivating! Keep it up mate! Cheers from Buenos Aires, Argentina.

[@ezequielivan26]

Incredible job dude! Best covering matt solos I must say. Keep it up!

[@CarlOfHoly]

Great list and excellent playing! But I would have included Citizen Erased in top 5

[@dinkelberchs3697]

Absolutely flawless. Can't believe you nailed that Guiding Light shredding part with the harmonic in the end! But honestly, Eternally Missed solo should be replaced by Thoughts of a dying atheist solo. Would love to see you play that
