I dont know what it is, but Julia's solo got me in the feels man...Something about the simplicity and the tone of it. Got me tearing up here.

[@andrefig822]

Absolutely loved that! The octave and 6ths runs were amazing, the relaxing closure with those tapped harmonics too! So simple, no fast or scale runs, just the beauty of the melody

[@arhus12]

[@FGg503]

Awesome playing as always, Rabea! Love your style and tone!

[@mfitkin]

Mateus bending and sliding was insane how smooth he can make it. But Jens carrying out his motif through non diatonic change really stuck with me. Everyone else was sustaining notes at that high point like it was a rule you had to. Everything was great but Jens line is now haunting me in the best way possible

[@rodrigoodonsalcedocisneros9266]

Good observation. That's what Mateus was refering to when he said the first part sounded like a cliché: subconciously everybody had some Stairway to Heaven-ish references, except for the 2 guys you mentioned: Mateus, who muscled his way out of the conventional references (and imo kinda got too carried away at times 😅) and Jens, who, being a jazz guitarist, is unshackled by the conventions the track carries. Having said that, I still found some high quality moments throughout all the performances, like Martin's resourcefulness or Julia's gorgeous feel.

[@hugomolinaOG]

Jens is goated🔥🔥🔥 but yeah Mateus never cease to impress. What a solo

[@willfrancescofini]

Julia has something very special.. those melodic double stops gave goosebumps . And the note she landed on at the end 😆!! i feel like she just gets me

[@willfrancescofini]

also the parallel ascending low melody / high melody. was very unique I am going to copy that for sure

[@FGg503]

Your solo was absolutely awesome! What tone!

[@tool2rishloo]

I love Jens’s understanding for form and musical structure. While all others clearly articulated part A and B (B=when the song slows down) Jens made something I would call a “lead-in”. In classical music there is a similar idea to connect antecedent with the consequent. The ending Motiv of the antecedent in measure 5 is the beginning Motiv of the consequent. It’s called elision. Also I wanna mention Paul’s feeling for short repeating cool sequences, a pleasure to listen to. And Julia’s smooth alternating fingerpicking was great to observe. It was a great idea to make a collaboration like this Paul. With all these great guitarists and their different approach gives us an insight to analytical thinking. Great job, keep on going.

[@jimlansa7098]

martin miller is my favorite, insanely musically and melodic. on top of it amazing feel and technique. a complete package.

[@reverend481]

We all have learned a song or two from Marty, what a legend

Man, everyone’s solos were so good. Each player had their own unique style. In my opinion each of their solos displayed exactly why they’re famous on KZbin. Thank you so much for this video.

[@lucasspondelli]

I loved the approach that Ross had with the volume knobs, and the smoothness on Paul´s solo 👏

[@Defekcija]

Ross' tone was great too

[@g-taker7299]

How is nobody talking about Josh´s solo? It hit straight to the hearth. So much emotion. It felt the most musical and fitting for a solo because it's memorable. He created a hook, which makes it feel like something part of a bigger picture.

[@theloniouscoltrane3778]

The "hearth" is hotter than the heart! Josh killed it.

[@lulospawn]

And it was the only solo with balls. He hits it like a real Frederick Zoller

Mateus’ solo was absolutely nuts. Just about the best bends and vibrato I’ve ever heard

[@Desuxy]

Rabea, what a start. His style has so much soul !

[@dipyaman93]

Marty sounded like the perfect session player. best approach not trying to show off. making the track shine not overtaking the natural melody that one might hear the chords progress

[@garrettrichardson1915]

Agreed. He gave it just what it needed. I like the other solos, but they all felt like they were doing too much

[@DavePilotCH47]

Let’s give Marty some love!!! Without his great pentatonic videos I would never have believed I could even play a solo!!

[@officialWWM]

His was the most boring of all of them!

[@JonnyDWise]

@@officialWWMsome people look for feel and others for technique… He was the only one who consistently left breathing room between phrases. Something guitarists (including me) can have a hard time with is pacing ourselves. It’s rarely talked about but there’s a lot to be said for restraint. Gotta respect his willingness to hold back

[@chrisbuckley7357]

Julia was my favourite. I felt the backing track wasn't the type to play fancy riffs. She added a beautiful soft touch without the guitar being driven hard. I wish I could play like her. That was amazing

[@azarealbheri6876]

I Agree 💯 Her's and Martin Miller's were my favourite

Same. I appreciate technical displays. But her performance was just beautiful. I could listen to that all day.

[@rhettevans4592]

Hers was the only solo I felt compelled to 'rewind' and listen to again. Beautiful.

[@thomaslopez7437]

I enjoyed Marty's solo the most because I felt it fit the atmosphere of the backing track best. The chord progression was very Beatles-esque, and Marty's playing sounded like a '60s Clapton coming into the studio to drop a solo for the group.

[@janeames1513]

Joey's solo quite literally brought me to tears...a crying guitar is so much different than any other sound...i'm a rocker so i also enjoyed Kfir's solo so much but the emotions and feelings that Joey left on me is out of this world..I don't think any solo has ever made touched my emotions the way that did...what a great line up of artists

[@tl1455]

If you haven't already, check out Derek Trucks (Tedeschi Trucks Band). Similar vibe...

[@aisikoduro6832]

Same for me. I almost teared up. Just an incredible musician. I never had a music hit me so hard like this one. MY GOSH. Joey is a on a whole different level.

[@TotalDESSSS]

I was like: "Ross's solo is the clear winner here" Then Mateus popped up on the screen. Wow. Just wow. Incredible touch and feel, the emotional highs some of those bends and phrases reach are phenomenal. 10/10

[@dowaliby1]

I think it may have been a 10-way tie for first.

[@kylerbrack7435]

My top three favs were Paul, Mateus, and Kfir. Paul's was just great, Mateus was awesome, and kind of sounded like hendrix, and Kfir was probably the best. That bend was insane, the tone was spot on, and the delay was amazing. I also have to mention the tremolo picking.

[@ryanslauderdale]

IDK, for me, Mateus's solo felt a bit overdone. Ross got everything without feeling jampacked. But that's just my opinion. We are cork-sniffing a bit.

[@tjm5492]

Mateus was brilliant. Ross killed it and Julia's was the most pure. Yours was the most Beatlesque!

[@envisiotube]

This was a really good idea to make this comparable, and there are so many really awesome interpretations - I love it! Please do more of this, we all can learn a lot of it.

[@ianverickson]

Every single one was phenomenal! I have to say, Josh, Rabea, Ross, and Mateus hit me hard with the phrasing, the musicality, the variety, and the tone.

[@DaveDonarski]

Rabea makes me feel driven to want to improve my playing like no one since Satriani when I was much younger. Bea pulls so much feeling out of his slower/ambient playing, it’s ridiculous. 💛👍

[@DaveDonarski]

And then I got to Mateus’ solo - 🤯. Paul’s reaction says it all. 😂💛

Absolutely perfect. And so organic sounding. I think his plan of walking around with the track in his ears is a very good one. Just let it seep in to the unconscious, and then leave the ego aside and play what comes naturally.

WOW! JUST WOW! Such virtuosity from all the musicians. Loved the way each made the piece a part of them and loved each approach to the chord progression.

Great to see them in action, they are the real deal! Thanks for producing this amazing project!

[@trankhoa5]

Oh man… Honestly, Mateus’s solo was the only thing left in my head after this video. It’s like the backing track was made for it. Truly phenomenal!! ❤

[@KJ-ho6sb]

I’m gonna practice all of these solos but man mateus is goated

[@slatanek]

Same. It's just harmonically beautiful and original.

[@elirigobeli]

Same! Vai Brasil 🇧🇷

[@dmitrynesterov8148]

Martin is the best 😅

[@patrickdavid6525]

You took the words right out of my mind and heart. It was "UNIQUE" the cries in his pulls I felt it and the techniques the melody wow

[@ChubaJsangma-tt3ye]

NGL Mateus Asato has something that not everyone has🗿

[@KniveZzzz]

its insane that music like this can move you so much, ill be honest - so many of these solos moved me to tears, i could feel myself choking up during a few of these.. some of them felt so powerful and dare i say nostalgic - wonderful video and wonderful solos from AMAZING guitar players

[@davidhaggerty1631]

Great to see Jens Larsen in there! Such a great musician, and his channel is a tremendous resource :)

[@antoniokimble5286]

Ah man, I enjoy his playing! Glad to see he got in on this!

[@Deliquescentinsight]

His sense of humor really added something, I laughed out loud

[@dowaliby1]

Jens has such a beautiful tone and feel.

[@jhnel13]

Josh has so much conviction in his playing and not one note passed without an obvious intent to play it. I was absolutely stunned. Mateus made my jaw drop as well, freaking genius. But really hat's off to all the great guitarists, Ross, Paul, Marty, all of them.

[@jakeblaszak5252]

I don't watch your videos all the time or consistently, but I look back at least once a month looking for the next installment in this series. It brings me so much joy. Thank you!

[@leighsayers2628]

Wow. That was just fabulous ..just beautiful guitar players ..omg ..loved everyone ..please do this again .

[@pocketmoon]

Ross Campbell for the feels and and Julia Lange for sounding like a 1950's hawaiian guitar - such a great range of styles

[@ryanslauderdale]

I got to give it to Ross Campbell on this one. He showed the full range of dexterity and creativity while still making it dance within the track. Those volume swelled bends hit you right in the feels. At least they do for me. The A major lick was also my favorite of the bunch. Also loved the jazz licks on Jens Larsen's track. The warm tone just worked well with them.

[@bobbyruggs808]

Agree, it fit perfectly.

[@salmurgolo1478]

I simply cannot pick a favorite!! So many different takes here and yet all so beautifully done. Just phenomenal playing from everybody and a great backing track to mess around with also ! Edit: reading the comments and seeing all the different reasons that people have a certain favorite is exactly why music is the best! We all hear things the same..but yet differently at the same time

[@Robson89almeida]

The idea of making 10 different guitar players play the same track was the most brilhant one on this youtube. Congrats, Paul! Hi from Brazil.

[@receivethelearn]

Jens's transition at 11:09 was so sick

[@rakman_guitarjams]

Right switching from A to Am felt like we were soaring at the highest point possible then floated back down to earth with the best feeling ever

[@giuseppeg.8461]

the absolute best of the lot for me. No contest.

[@mikelsaratxuarri]

Yes! To me too, so much different from the approach of a blues/rock player, totally unexpected, I absolutely agree with you

[@cristianoalmeida5388]

Josh is a living legend. All players are real great, but I love how Josh sounds on this track.

[@AceAskin]

Every guitarist on this video has inspired me sooooo much right now. I'm bummed it's too late at night for me to play. I'll have to come back and rewatch this tomorrow!!! Thank you for doing this. It was beautiful.

[@LameCarrot]

Totally inlove with Martin Miller's solo. Enjoyed every moment of it. :)

[@keadgl6419]

Julia's solo might be one of the most beautiful solos Ive ever heard. All incredible performances by incredible artists. I love it

[@DamienDae]

Julia's solo is the one that really stands out for me and sounds original.

[@Marshall_Brulosophy]

Her approach is so gentle. I love it!

[@robertoaravena6052]

Julia's and Mateus' are my absolute favorites, the feeling, the sound, everything so perfect

[@rakman_guitarjams]

Me and Paul had the same reaction after his big bend I was awestruck then started laughing at how amazing it was

[@peterklett7716]

This just blew me away. Each player I heard, I thought, that was the best, and then came the next and - same feeling. At the end, each one had made me cry out in awe and joy. This is what guitar-playing is all about. Thanks, Paul, for having orchestrated this magnificent collection of purely magical solos. 🤗

[@maxwell1344]

This is insane! Thanks to all you amazing artists 🎉

[@fndrkFanClub]

Beautiful ideas throughout, but it was JOSH's solo the one that sent shivers down my spine. Raw, honest and unadulterated

[@tdc_2021]

Agreed!

[@lightxo9113]

yess and at 13:48 loved it 😭❤

[@Casi5000]

YES! They were all great, but Josh nailed it. Raw and honest is a really good description of how it sounds!

[@joshnic6639]

Thanks

[@agentsmith110111]

I just said the same, up top, then saw his post. Dude was raw and up in the cut!

[@musicplaylists59]

I really enjoyed Josh Smith and Ross Campbell's solo's on this. They flowed so good with the track and sounded spontaneous.

[@jada90]

I love how they were back to back - Josh who took 2 takes and then improved, and Ross who put in a ton of effort to compose something beautiful

[@RWgolfARG]

Excelente video. Gracias por realizarlo. Músicos increíbles. 💙

[@andrebarragat]

Always so amazing to see all these different solos. Só much to learn. Thanks Paul.
