John Frusciante's solo in 'Could Have Lied' off Blood Sugar Sex Magik has always been a favorite of mine. I'm not saying it belongs on this list, but it was the one I was hoping you'd do when RHCP came up. That solo, in the context of the song, conveys heartbreak and it is something I will listen to and just love like the first time, every time.

I think John Frusciante is a modern day virtuoso. His approach to riff-writing is brilliant. Everyone knows playing Snow and Under the Bridge in the correct tempo to be a technically difficult challenge, but there are other songs that slip the radar quite often. Give it away with its fast doublestops or the exceedingly funky opening to Subway to Venus immediately come to mind.

@simonemarcuzzi926 2 года назад

All iconic solos, but I'll introduce you to a solo that probably outside of Italy no one, or very few, knows about and that in my humble opinion deserves a place into the "all time greats" list: the outro solo of "Gli angeli" by Vasco Rossi. The song was published back in 1996 and featured a music video directed by Roman Polansky (still probably the most expensive video of italian music). The outro solo is a masterpiece played by Michael Landau, probably using his '63 Stratocaster; on the video is shorter than on the album (because of the "5 minutes limit" of MTV and radio) so for who's interested I suggest to listen to it through a streaming service to get the full 2 minutes and 20 seconds version.

Interesting thing about that solo is that David Gilmour never changed it. On the outro solo he always goes crazy. No two performances are the same. But the middle solo he always plays just like it is on the album. I wonder why that is...

Great list, thank you. I love it that the song Fade to Black is on it. Missing yet are Jimi Hendrix(Little Wing), Angus Young (shook me all night long), Ritchie Blackmore (Highway star), Mark Knopfler, Jimmy Page and Charlie Starr.

@chxt0689 Год назад

Yep. Mark Knopfler has great guitar solos.

@patricklafreniere6908 2 года назад

I totally agree with your list! One solo I would personaly add is the one on Paul McCartney's Maybe I'm Amazed. Despite its (relative) simplicity, it carries so much emotion. I believe this is what we, as guitar players should aim at, carrying emotions in our solos instead of just showing off technical skills.

@PabloMaBe 2 года назад

I think the best thing I can say, is that every time I see one of your videos, I have to pick up the guitar and play. Thank you so much.

@mikebinks6662 Год назад

Paul, you are such an inspiration. I absolutely love your videos. Thanks so much

What a fantastic start/intro of this video!

@tannerlong9893 2 года назад

Great video. You did a good job showing how there’s a lot of great sounding solos that are doable for less experienced guitarists unlike Tornado of Souls/Sweet Child O’ Mine and stuff like that. All of Gilmour’s stuff sounds amazing and isn’t too hard and same with some of Slash’s stuff (November Rain/Knockin on Heaven’s door). I’d love to see another video like this but with harder solos! This was cool though brother! For fun here’s some solos I think are crazy awesome Sweet Tooth/Mata Hari - Intervals Comfortably Numb 2nd solo - Pink Floyd (1994 pulse concert version is great) I’m the One - Van Halen Idk all the names but there’s a clip on RU-vid called like “Top 10 John Petrucci solos” and it’s wild And many more

Love the Muse song in here, they are hardly ever mentioned or used on guitar channels. The Jeff Beck solo reminds me of Careless Whisper, haha

Paul Kossof’s solo from the song ‘Remember’ of the Fire and Water album epitomises the less is more. Definitely worth a listen

@oscarericsson9761 2 года назад

Paul, choosing Kirk's Fade to Black solo made my day. He doesn't deserve all the hate he gets (who does?). It's great when someone like you with a voice goes in the other direction.

@mr.e8432 2 года назад

As far as “iconic” solos that aren’t too hard to play I’d add the Edge “New Years Day” (although 11 O’Clock Tick Tock from the Red Rocks concert is my personal favorite). And Elliot Easton ALWAYS gets over looked. “Good Times Roll” or “Just What I Needed” are simple but classic solos, my personal favorites are Panorama, and his second solo in You’re All I’ve Got Tonight.

@ethanschoof4953 2 года назад

Elliot easton is insanely great and underlooked like you said. I love his “you might think” and “best friends girl” solos

@normanholditch4504 2 года назад

Nice one Paul. There are so many solo’s that could have made it onto the list. Good to see David Gilmour featured but I’ve always thought that the solo in “Time” is his best ever....loads of arpeggios following the changes, and at times a lot of space between the notes. Awesome.

@vishnudas1656 Год назад

Honestly the list can grow a lot more. But you nailed it all of them are lovely solos. Huge like and really love how you added some meaning to each and love the quality of the video. Cheers :)

@TheGuitarEffect 2 года назад

Great video. Your editing is so slick mate. Your stuff just has such a sophisticated upmarket feel off it. Love it. No right or wrong list but my favorite 3 iconic solos ever are: 1. The end of Paranoid Android. Jonny Greenwood. 2. Alive. Mike McCready. 3. Heart shaped box. Kurt Kobain. Spoken like a true GENX old man!!!

@mztbass Год назад

This most underrated and overlooked tune should be checked out: "Tunnel of Love" - Dire Straits, at minute 5.59. One of the most simple and yet amazing moving solos I've ever heard. BTW.... Your vids are truly fantastic and extremely well made. The best I've seen so far 👏👏👏

Lovely Paul. I set myself Larry Carlton’s Kid Charlemagne solo as a lockdown challenge. Less mainstream. But a quality piece of work and a good challenge.
