So many to name, here's a few unsung heros imho: Smashing Pumpkins: Soma A7X: Hail to the King Megadeth: Tornado of Souls No Doubt: Don't Speak Sublime: Santeria 311: Beautiful Disaster Bon Jovi: Wanted Dead or Alive Skid Row: I Remember You Heart: Dreamboat Annie Iron Maiden: Aces High MCR: I'm Not Okay Pantera: Cemetery Gates
Here are some more great solos: Highway star - Deep Purple Back in black - ACDC Reelin in the years - Steely Dan Since I’ve been loving you - Led Zeppelin Achilles last stand - led Zeppelin Let’s go crazy - Prince Still in love with you (live) - Thin Lizzy Still got the blues - Gary Moore More than a feeling - Boston Time and Money - Pink Floyd
Dazed and Confused also. Just for the creativity to pursue the use of the bow on an electric guitar. While he had done it before, and others had done it before him, he certainly brought it into the spot light. Terry Kath's in “25 OR 6 TO 4” is one we all recognize immediately. Poor guy is underrated.
@@TheBlaqSpiderman You'd figure with 25 million subs that they could reach out to a couple actual guitar players from multiple genres to ask for recommendations for a better list. Cause this was pretty ass.
In no particular order of my favorite solos and duos, Eruption - Van Halen Speed Metal Symphony - Cacophony Comfortably Numb - Pink Floyd November Rain - Guns n Roses Cliffs of Dover - Eric Johnson Angel of Salvation - Galneryus (it's japanese but this song is fantastic)
I'm not an Eddie fanboy. But Eruption at #21? Popularity? Maybe. Influence? Gotta be top 3. And sorry to be a hater, but nothing Jack White played is better than anything Eddie did. That one dropped my jaw. But to be fair, Jack is a great songwrifer. Also, where are the shredders?
This list was written by an edgelord dipshit that's never touched a guitar in their life. The fuckig disrespect to Dimebag, and by putting Rhodes & EVH so high on the list when they're the top 2 of all time.
@@CatherinePearl100I'm a musician. I've never written anything that didn't come out of me naturally. It's whatever I'm feeling at that moment. And a lot of the time it comes out more "complicated" than music that's more conventional. I love music that requires your attention, but I also love to lay back and groove or do something smooth and slow. It's all from my soul and emotions. And it's not just shredders that play a lot of notes. Mozart, Vince Gill, Coltrane and on and on. But If that music doesn't speak to you, there's nothing wrong with that.
The fact that Gilmour have 2 solos in the top 10, and others like Time, Hey You, High Hopes, and Another Brick in the Wall pt II were left out, speaks tons of what a great soloist he is
Randy Rhoads' "Mr. Crowley" solo is the greatest of all time. Sweet Jesus, his playing on that song is so moving it brings a tear to my eye. Literally.
My top 50 (Today): Ozzy Osbourne - No More Tears [Zakk Wylde] Megadeth - Tornado of Souls [Marty Friedman] Judas Priest - Beyond the Realms of Death [Glenn Tipton/K. K. Downing] Ozzy Osbourne - Over the Mountain [Randy Rhoads] Savatage - Edge of Thorns [Criss Oliva] Pantera - Floods [Dimebag Darrell] Black Sabbath - Lonely is the Word [Tony Iommi] Iron Maiden - Wasted Years [Adrian Smith] Eric Johnson - Cliffs of Dover [Eric Johnson] Dream Theater - Under A Glass Moon [John Petrucci] Testament - Return to Serenity [Alex Scolnick] Led Zeppelin - Heartbreaker [Jimmy Page] Metallica - Fade to Black [Kirk Hammett] Guns N' Roses - Locomotive [Slash] AC/DC - Ride On [Angus Young] Overkill - Hello From The Gutter [Bobby Gustafson] Dio - The Last In Line [Vivian Campbell] Slayer - Seasons in the Abyss [Kerry King/Jeff Hanneman] Exodus - Good Day To Die [Gary Holt] Dokken - In My Dreams [George Lynch] Joe Satriani - Summer Song [Joe Satriani] Alice In Chains - Them Bones [Jerry Cantrell] Kiss - Parasite [Ace Frehley] Queensrÿche - Operation Mindcrime [Chris DeGarmo] Dire Straits - Telegraph Road [Mark Knopfler] Van Halen - Hot for Teacher [Eddie Van Halen] Motörhead - Shine [Brian Robertson] Ozzy Osbourne - Bark at the Moon [Jake E.

Have to put Prince in my top 5 best guitarists of all time, Page, Gilmore, Richards, Clapton.. Shit EVH in there somewhere, Blackmore (solo from Child in time is completely mental).
Some of my favs that weren’t mentioned: Floods - Dimebag Tempest - Adam Jones Tornado of Souls - Marty Friedman One - Kirk Hammett Three Days - Dave Navarro
1. Eddie Hazel, Funkadelic- Maggot Brain 2. Trey Anastasio, Divided Sky- Phish 3. Duane Allman and Dickey Betts- Blue Sky 4. Dave Navarro, Jane's Addiction-Three days 5. Frank Zappa- watermelon in Easter hay
I'm quite certain it's impossible to make this list suit everyone's taste. Thank you. I quite enjoyed it and learned some neat stuff. Really glad Alex Lifeson was on the list.
Shout out to my favorite guitar solo in Runnin' Down a Dream by Tom Petty. My second favorite is the 2nd guitar solo in Sweet Child O'Mine, third favorite is the 3rd guitar solo in Sweet Child O'Mine, and my fourth favorite is the 1st guitar solo in Sweet Child O'Mine. 😁
So… basically this is the 30 greatest solos ever, compiled by someone who knows next to nothing about guitar playing and just went with the popular hits? Ok, great, thanks for that.
Guns n’ Roses’ Slash’s “Sweet Child O’ Mine” and “November Rain,” Queen’s Brian May’s “Bohemian Rhapsody,” and Led Zeppelin’s Jimmy Page’s “Stairway to Heaven” are among the best guitar solos!
Hold on, it was important to mention that Eruption wasn't even, or ever, a composition for release. It was his daily warm up routine to loosen his fingers. He did it daily, and the engineers on the record wisely hit record one day. Supposedly, the album version is just that, his candid warm up routine, having no idea he was being recorded.
Others that should've been on this list: If I Could Fly: Joe Satriani Whispering A Prayer: Steve Vai Over My Head (extended live version): Ty Tabor (King's X) Tears Of The Dragon: Roy Z (Bruce Dickinson) Black Star: Yngwie Malmsteen The Spirit Carries On: John Petrucci (Dream Theater) How Far Jerusalem: Terry Clarkin (Magnum) Catch The Rainbow (Live From Munich 1977 version): Ritchie Blackmore (Rainbow) The Clown Is Dead: Axel Rudi Pell Kingdom Of Desire/Rosanna: Steve Lukathur (Toto) Neverland: Steve Rothery (Marillion) We'll Burn The Sky: Uli Jon Roth (Scorpions)
Keith Richards From The Rolling Stones Sympathy For The Devil and Ace Frehley From Kiss' Love Gun and Tony Iomni From Black Sabbath's Paranoid and Kirk Hammett From Metallica's Fade To Black and Randy Rhoads For Ozzy Osbourne's Crazy Train and Jeff Beck's Cause We've Ended As Lovers and Eric Clapton For The Beatles While My Guitar Gently Weeps and Prince & The Revolution's Purple Rain and Carlo's Santana's Black Magic Woman and Eddie Van Halen's Eruption and Alex Lifeson From Rush's Freewill and Tom Morello From Rage Against The Machine's Killing In The Name and Jack White From The White Stripes Icky Thump and Ritchie Blackmore From Deep Purple's Highway Star and Mark Knopfler From Dire Straits' Sultans Of Swing and Johnny Greenwood From Radiohead's Paranoid Android and Eric Clapton From Cream's Crossroads and Brian May From Queen's Brighton Rock and Allen Collins & Gary Rossington From Lynyrd Skynyrd's Free Bird and Slash From Guns N' Roses November Rain and Randy Rhoads For Ozzy Osbourne's Mr. Crowley and David Gilmour From Pink Floyd's Dogs and Brian May From Queen's Bohemian Rhapsody and Stevie Ray Vaughn's Texas Flood and Eddie Van Halen From Michael Jackson's Beat It and Don Felder & Joe Walsh From Eagles Hotel California and Slash From Guns N' Roses Sweet Child O' Mine and Jimi Hendrix From The Jimi Hendrix Experience's All Along The Watchtower and David Gilmour From Pink Floyd's Comfortably Numb and Jimmy Page From Led Zeppelin's Stairway To Heaven gives me the chills on the phone
I know Sympathy For The Devil, Fade To Black, Purple Rain, Killing In The Name, Sultans Of Swing, Bohemian Rhapsody, Beat It, Hotel California, Sweet Child O’Mine, All Along The Watchtower and Stairway To Heaven. I might know others I just don’t remember from the tunes.
Why don't you have any Scorpions here? Still Loving you, Wind of Change and Holiday deserve at least an Honorable mention. I would've also had Pearl Jam's Even Flow, Sad or Alive.
Eruption at #21???? I'm sorry but...are you out of your f'ing minds?!?!? Anything less than #1 is an insult. In the hands of Eddie Van Halen, a guitar ceased to be a musical instrument and became a living thing. Eruption is unequalled. And Don Felder & Joe Walsh should be #2.
I haven’t made it to that part of the video but eruption isn’t a better solo than Jimi Hendrix machine gun at the filmore east…. Eruption is just a bunch of flashy shred guitar with no feeling and no soul. He was just shredding. Very impressive shredding I might add… some of the best shredding of any guitarist for sure but… yeah it’s just shredding across the fretboard and it’s basically just flashy playing.
Last comment - missing are (studio) Jerry Garcia's amazing and perfectly melodic solo on 'Touch of Grey' (that truly accidentally launched them into the stratosphere) and - live - Princes solo on while my guitar gently weeps. Legend has it he only learned the chords hours before. He doesn't even show up until the end of the song. But watch the clip. The other greats on stage go from being a bit annoyed to realizing the moment they were watching was transcendental. Also surprised to see no John frusciante on the list.
This is the first list of greatest guitar solos that don’t have Comfortably Numb’s solo as number 1! Of course they do the boring generic thing and make it Stairway!
Alex Lifeson is one of the most musically talented guitarists of all time. He was able to find places to shine in every song, and didn't need to be flashy to be powerful. Freewill is such an interesting choice for this list, it's a 3 person individual jam session that just happens to work with the context of the original thematic passage of the song. You could have put Alex or Geddy on this list for that section and either one would have been acceptable.
I really think that Prince's Purple Rain guitar solo should be much higher on your list. How is it not in your top ten? Sometimes your lists can definitely miss the mark.
Perhaps off on some, but you hit the nail on the head with Jimmy Page’s Stairway to Heaven solo for number one …. especially the live version at Madison Square Garden which was a glorious extended version.
The REAL top 20 Solos 1. Pink Floyd - Comfortably numb 2. Led Zeppelin - Since i've been loving you 3. Queen - You don't fool me 4. Dire Straits - Sultans 5. Pink Floyd - Time 6. Led Zeppelin - Stairway 7. EAGLES - Hotel Cali 8. Dire Straits - Tunnel of love 9. Pink Floyd - High Hopes 10. Pink Floyd - Have a Cigar 11. Dire Straits - Telegraph road 12. Pink Floyd - Echoes (Pompei) 13. Pink Floyd - Dogs 14. QUEEN - Bohemian Rhapsody 15. Guns & Roses - November rain 16. Led Zeppelin - 10 years gone 17. Queen - Killer Queen 18. Jimi Hendrix - Watch tower 19. Queen - We will rock you 20. Pink Floyd - Money
"You don't fool me" is definitely the most underrated Queen song. Brian May had some great solos but if there's one standing out it's definitely "You don't fool me" it's by far his best solo. 100 agree 💯
Great list, your obviously a big fan of Pink floyd, Zeppelin, Queen and Straits 😂 can't blame you though. Those 4 guitarist were in my opinion also the best. 👌
The guitar 🎸 solo from Michael Jackson's beat it so great imo. Edit: I commented before watching the vidoe so I'm really happy to see it make it into the top 6!

No guitar solo can make a grown up man cry as Comfortably Numb. Top 5 sports for just that one song.

Prince was a VERY underrate guitarist. One of the greatest.
🥈
@@BlackHatCinephile no one wants your pointless medals
@@Reaperguy67he's 6th
Prince is underrated as a guitarist because of how good he was with everything he played.
@@Dad-Says-Jokes no one asked if anyone is
Here are some more great solos:
Highway star - Deep Purple
Back in black - ACDC
Reelin in the years - Steely Dan
Since I’ve been loving you - Led Zeppelin
Achilles last stand - led Zeppelin
Let’s go crazy - Prince
Still in love with you (live) - Thin Lizzy
Still got the blues - Gary Moore
More than a feeling - Boston
Time and Money - Pink Floyd
Dazed and Confused also. Just for the creativity to pursue the use of the bow on an electric guitar. While he had done it before, and others had done it before him, he certainly brought it into the spot light.
Terry Kath's in “25 OR 6 TO 4” is one we all recognize immediately. Poor guy is underrated.
I totally agree. And the live version at Madison Square Garden 1973 dazed and confused is an absolute masterpiece.
0:01 *Sits down ready for disappointment* This should be entertaining.
With all respect, this list is a crime
You must be new here
Great minds think alike. I was thinking the same thing.
@@TheBlaqSpiderman You'd figure with 25 million subs that they could reach out to a couple actual guitar players from multiple genres to ask for recommendations for a better list. Cause this was pretty ass.
Glad someone said it
@@Waas they do this with literally every subject
"Dogs" is the only solo on this list that gives me goosebumps and that song is rarely mentioned on any videos ... good job!
It's a crime that Dimebag Darrell wasn't on this list. Cemetery Gates. Floods. Come on people.
Absolutely fucking snubbed.
There's that!
Before I even watched this crap I knew Dimebag would be left off because this shit is always such a joke
We'll Meet Again. I think it's probably his best.
Best part is that the riff for Sweet Child was nothing more than Slash's warm-up.
I believe that is false yet widely believed to be true.
Fun Fact : Guns N Roses “Sweet Child O Mine” is a rip-off of “Unpublished Critics” by Australian Crawl.
In no particular order of my favorite solos and duos,
Eruption - Van Halen
Speed Metal Symphony - Cacophony
Comfortably Numb - Pink Floyd
November Rain - Guns n Roses
Cliffs of Dover - Eric Johnson
Angel of Salvation - Galneryus (it's japanese but this song is fantastic)
I'm not an Eddie fanboy. But Eruption at #21? Popularity? Maybe. Influence? Gotta be top 3. And sorry to be a hater, but nothing Jack White played is better than anything Eddie did. That one dropped my jaw. But to be fair, Jack is a great songwrifer. Also, where are the shredders?

Agree. Eddie #21 I just can’t agree. Top 5 at least.
And where is Painkiller?????
Shredding is simply impressive finger gymnastics. There’s usually no emotion or soul in it - only a multitude of notes.
@@CatherinePearl100I'm a musician. I've never written anything that didn't come out of me naturally. It's whatever I'm feeling at that moment.

I was thinking "Magic Man" by Heart.
@@donlawrencessongs188 Roger Fisher. Tragically underrated.
Roger Fisher is always missing from these lists.
Prince was more versatile than everyone on this list
Of Course, He could also play ANY instrument as well. He was an amazing musician, singer, songwriter, and producer.
Insane how musically talented that man was in so many ways.
Bu||$#i+!!!
I love me some princess, but no
Have to put Prince in my top 5 best guitarists of all time, Page, Gilmore, Richards, Clapton.. Shit EVH in there somewhere, Blackmore (solo from Child in time is completely mental).
I’m a little shocked that Kirk Hammett’s solo from One wasn’t on here.
Bohemian Rhapsody has the best guitar solo; Purple rain is a close second 🎉
Top 10 at best,
Stairway to heaven hard clears
Every solo.
Eruption all the way down at 21 is definitely one of the takes of all time
Prince, Eric, Eddie , Alex, Mark, yep!
The tune from Michael Jackson's Beat It song was catchy af!
How DARE you forget Iron Maiden!!!
Some of my favs that weren’t mentioned:
Floods - Dimebag
Tempest - Adam Jones
Tornado of Souls - Marty Friedman
One - Kirk Hammett
Three Days - Dave Navarro
Eruption at 21?!?!! WOW!!!!!
No Tornado of Souls? This is bullshit
Prince's legacy only gets more profound with tine
What's tine?
And where do I get some
1. Eddie Hazel, Funkadelic- Maggot Brain
2. Trey Anastasio, Divided Sky- Phish
3. Duane Allman and Dickey Betts- Blue Sky
4. Dave Navarro, Jane's Addiction-Three days
5. Frank Zappa- watermelon in Easter hay
This channell is clear sheet for music
Tom Morello's Outro when performing live with Bruce Springsteen on "the Ghost Of Tom Joad" (which was release on an EP) was also awesome.
This list is WILD!
I'm quite certain it's impossible to make this list suit everyone's taste. Thank you. I quite enjoyed it and learned some neat stuff. Really glad Alex Lifeson was on the list.
Shout out to my favorite guitar solo in Runnin' Down a Dream by Tom Petty.
My second favorite is the 2nd guitar solo in Sweet Child O'Mine, third favorite is the 3rd guitar solo in Sweet Child O'Mine, and my fourth favorite is the 1st guitar solo in Sweet Child O'Mine. 😁
So… basically this is the 30 greatest solos ever, compiled by someone who knows next to nothing about guitar playing and just went with the popular hits?
Ok, great, thanks for that.
I can’t wait for Music is Win’s reaction video.
No doubt. I believe he will go scorched earth on this list.
Guns n’ Roses’ Slash’s “Sweet Child O’ Mine” and “November Rain,” Queen’s Brian May’s “Bohemian Rhapsody,” and Led Zeppelin’s Jimmy Page’s “Stairway to Heaven” are among the best guitar solos!
I saw Prince and instantly click led the video 7:28
Hold on, it was important to mention that Eruption wasn't even, or ever, a composition for release. It was his daily warm up routine to loosen his fingers.

THIS LIST IS BLASPHEMOUS!!!! BRIGHTON ROCK SHOULD BE #1!!!!!!
#24 could be argued that Prince take on that solo was quite spectacular if not better it was better
Why is Prince's solo for While My Guitar Gently Weeps? It should have been in the top 3... arguably number 1.
I know Sympathy For The Devil, Fade To Black, Purple Rain, Killing In The Name, Sultans Of Swing, Bohemian Rhapsody, Beat It, Hotel California, Sweet Child O’Mine, All Along The Watchtower and Stairway To Heaven. I might know others I just don’t remember from the tunes.
Comfortably numb solo>stairway to heaven solo
EVH [Eruption]should have been one or two, not 21.
This video should be retitled to top 30 best single releases solos of all time
TOP 10 Wayne Knight Roles
Maybe...Stairway to Heaven solo is top 5 but Comfortably Numb is #1 all day long
I was suprised 25 or 6 to 4 didn't make the list with Terry Kath.
Agree with number 1, but Eddie/eruption and then free bird are both far, far too disrespected on this list.
Eddie should be top 5 not 20th
🏅
Wow! Thank you 😊
Well for your information! All of the guitar solos gave me chills if you know what I mean by the way.
Why don't you have any Scorpions here? Still Loving you, Wind of Change and Holiday deserve at least an Honorable mention. I would've also had Pearl Jam's Even Flow, Sad or Alive.

I agree completely! Also Hot For Teacher should be on this list.
Much agreed. This list literally put the GOAT out to pasture, shame on them. It's especially uncouth given we just lost Eddie.

Geez. Nobody that understan guitars was involved of the selection of this list. WTH watchmojo
Hotel California was my favorite on this list 🎉

Rock Around The Clock by Bill Haley has the best guitar solo in rock history! The birth of speed metal!
Alex Lifeson is one of the most musically talented guitarists of all time. He was able to find places to shine in every song, and didn't need to be flashy to be powerful.
Freewill is such an interesting choice for this list, it's a 3 person individual jam session that just happens to work with the context of the original thematic passage of the song. You could have put Alex or Geddy on this list for that section and either one would have been acceptable.
Look for Bernth on TH-cam, fantastic solos and songs
A solo that I think is highly underrated is Trevor Rabin in Owner of a Lonely Heart
🎉yes!🎉
This list is criminal
I really think that Prince's Purple Rain guitar solo should be much higher on your list. How is it not in your top ten? Sometimes your lists can definitely miss the mark.
Mr Crowley top 10, finally given the respect that set of guitar solos deserves!
Lindsey Buckingham of Fleetwood Mac in "I'm So Afraid"(Live '97 from The Dance).
Top 20 protest songs
Fight the Power (Public Enemy)
Killing in the Name (Rage Against the Machine)
They Don't Care About Us (Michael Jackson)
Perhaps off on some, but you hit the nail on the head with Jimmy Page’s Stairway to Heaven solo for number one …. especially the live version at Madison Square Garden which was a glorious extended version.
Pretty good list, though being a Floyd fan for 47 years - I'd have Gilmour's "Numb" at No.1 and his "Time" from DSOTM in there somewhere as well.
How can it be a guitar solo if it's a duet?
Floods is the greatest guitar solo of all time and I will hear nothing to the contrary
My favorite one is from DragonForce song through the fire and flames
Metallica’s “One” isn’t on here - wow.
Before watching , if November Rain, Comfortably numb , Eruption , Sultans of Swing , and anything by Jeff Beck arent here ,I Riot
I like most on the list. There are many others from the Beatles and George Harrison solo. Or the Grateful Dead and Jerry Garcia solo.
Impossible Germany and Cortez the killer. Comfortably numb is number 1 still though
🎉Need somd Pantera on this list. 🎉
STAIRWAY TO HEAVEN IS A GLORIFIED FINGERING EXERCISE AND YOU KNOW IT
No guitar solo is more greater but more importantly more damn iconic than from Free Bird. So not sure how that’s not number 1
Okay, Prince should be number one and he has better solos than purple rain solo
His guitar in Purple Rain was so smooth. So that's a deserving spot

"You don't fool me" is definitely the most underrated Queen song. Brian May had some great solos but if there's one standing out it's definitely "You don't fool me" it's by far his best solo. 100 agree 💯
Since i've been loving you should be nr.1. Greatest solo in the history of music.
Great list, your obviously a big fan of Pink floyd, Zeppelin, Queen and Straits 😂 can't blame you though. Those 4 guitarist were in my opinion also the best. 👌
"Since i've been loving you" is GOD TIER 🙌
Must say I've never heard You don't fool me but wow. That's the best solo I've ever heard from Brian May. Didn't know he could play like that.
Sultans of Swing is also awesome
I'm shocked Angus Young didn't make this list.
The guitar 🎸 solo from Michael Jackson's beat it so great imo.
Edit: I commented before watching the vidoe so I'm really happy to see it make it into the top 6!
@@RenasMayi doesn't matter if you are top 6. It's not a race
@@Reaperguy67 ok
@Reaperguy67 he's actually the 17th comment
@@Dad-Says-Jokes I was talking about Michael Jackson's song being top 6 and he thought I'm celebrating for being the 6th comment
@@Dad-Says-Jokes no one asked if anyone is 🤡
WathMojo, do you hear about Yes, Genesis, King Crimson?
The most skillful bands ever
And Bryan May, of course
on Solos i would add DFW & Telephone Song from Family Style (Vaughan Bros) also Eastside Blues 1980s from Omar & The Howlers Great guitar work
Sweet chips o’ mine always be my personal fav
Honorable mention to Seize The Day by Avenged Sevenfold.
Eruption, Free Bird, Hotel California should be in the top 3
The best RATM solo is from the song Freedom
One of my favorite solos has to be Prince when he did the George Harrison Tribute.
