time is better
Eli Wilson 100% agree lol
Free Bird's solo is flawless, truly the gold standard.
I came to the comments before it started in anticipation of freebird😈
Im sorry but it doesnt beat out on the turning away by Pink Ffloyd
Free people solo is better😉
gold standard??? its just Em pentatonic correct me if im wrong
@@DG-rd8zh The pentatonic "has the best notes" correct me if I'm wrong, there's the 6 note scale, and the 7 note scale, but none rock like the pentatonic. Just my humble opinion. But yeah, I love the blues scale and the diatonic scale too, and the chromatic is a piece of work too just a little harder to deal with. Your comment is spot on it's mostly Em pentatonic on the Free Bird solo.
People aren’t ready to hear this but whoever did the solo for goofy goober rock deserves to be on here.
True
agreeded
SpongeBob
SpongeBob SquarePants
100%
40 years later, I still get chills listening to Comfortably Numb. Great pick!
Other amazing solos: hotel california, the trooper, hallowed be thy name, master of puppets (starting with the slow harmonized part), another brick in the wall and if you include short but emotional solos, "I could have lied" by is perhaps the most emotional solo I've ever heard despite it being so short, it definitely is a strong part of that album and an honest flush of emotions for John Frusciante
Listen to comfortably numb, then fleetwood macs I'm so afraid live version. Now you know where floyd got his inspiration.
Pink Floyd is a band of one man, David Gilmour, its first songs are really poor, until the song "Echoes", all its songs are quiet songs, there is no rhythmic song
They don't have power, like Matlica has for example.
Also they don't have a good singer.
So overrated
@@sm1le396 haha so edgy.
Disliked because that annoying woman keeps talking when I want to hear the solos!!! grrrr
hahaha so true
exactly! and that voice is annoying ... :s
Hotel California has in my opinion the best guitar solo
555 ...จริงด้วยนะ😈
+Leonardo cook me too!!!
Comfortably numb sounds like the guitar is crying. It’s absolutely beautiful and deserves its place
One vote about the missing solos: Mark Knopfler in Sultans of Swing, David Gilmour in Division Bell, Jethro Tull's Martin Barre in We used to know (as a predecessor and obvious inspiration of Hotel California) and Wishbone Ash's Vallediction.
And for sure metal bands fans would add even more.
Tipton & Downing - Painkiller
Andy La Rock - Sleepless Nights
Wolf Hoffmann - Head Over Heels
Angus Young - Touch Too Much
Murray & Smith - The Trooper
I agree
How can you have a greatest guitar solo’s without Eddie Van Halen!!! Come on man
Exactly my thoughts! Where is van halen beat it solo
beat it solo but also the eruption solo i mean aint nothing gonna top that
Ice cream man is pretty underestimated but my favorite is probably take your whiskey home
@@chrisboogerd3031 they said no instrumentals
Pretty easy, listing is for guitar solos not guitar wanks. Point of the guitar solo is music not showing how fast your fingers are
1. Pink Floyd - Confortably Numb
2. Dire Straits - Sultans of Swing
Yep can’t believe this list hasn’t got any MK solo
These are incomparable my friend.
Agree
Agreed, i had hoped that Sultans of Swing would be here. But I also feel like the solo in the final countdown by Europe is missing
Stairway and comfortably numb should always be number 1 and 2
My top 6 list is 6. Paranoid 5. Master of puppets. 4. The great gig in the sky .3 Free bird 3.Comfortably numb .1 No more tears
The Bohemian rhapsody solo is so cool. I have been learning it, and somehow, I just love myself more now that I can play it.
Comfortably Numb deserves to be up there. That solo is so powerful in its own way. It’s got this feeling to it. Most guitar players cannot bend music together like that. The guy has a real good ear for sound and music.
Honestly the solo from Dogs is one of the best pink Floyd solos
Yeah! Mr. Gilmore is the real slowhand.
And it's not? Thanks to tell,save me some minutes of life.
@@ignaciogama3653 it’s #1 on the list
But not number 1.
Alchemy live Sultans of Swings Mark Knopfler ! nb 1 in my book.
word! that expression on Mark's face...
Mark Knopfler could probably own five of the top ten on his own.
Agree!
O Drago mi je što neko sa balkana gleda Watchmojo
+zombie kids What?
There's technical excellence and there's solos that just speak to you. Sometimes the two come together and it's magic.
Yes! EVH 🙌
I can't believe this hasn't received any likes yet. @@tonyraney4167
music is a language of emotions, and mood. this is not a phrase, it is a fact. speed and virtuosity alone is something a robot can learn in notime. there are players who play braindead scales and arpeggios with insane speed. wow. and what does it sound like? it reminds me of 1000 cockroaches running around looking for food.
Metallica and Van Halen should be on this list.. also regarding David Gilmore, I think ‘On The Turning Away’ guitar solo was even better than Comfortably Numb. Just my opinion 👌
@Puppet Master "We've left out the instrumentals" - At the beginning of the video.
I say Eruption from Eddie van Halen is the greatest solo ever
I still get chills from One
Yah like were the hell is metallica up in this bitch!
Ten years from now people will be asking 'what's a guitar solo?'
I really hope it never comes to that, but people who like this kind of music are rare nowadays.
No they'll be asking "what's a guitar?"
@@johnfiveash9459 no not really but it might be where i live but
Nerd
No they won't
Thanks a lot for posting this!
It's not easy to choose the best of the best, guys!
All solos are very powerful and sincere...
I'm a girl, but I learn to do it!
I like Rik Emmett from TRIUMPH!!! He is versatile guitar player, fantastic vocalist, great songwriter and most importantly, appears to be a kind human.
My way to follow from tenderness to passion...
I absolutely like his playing the double neck electric guitar...
My greatest rock music influence who even forced me to pick up my own electric guitar to resonate with him!
Good luck! Lots of love to Russia!
Great video with a beautiful narration!Thank you. The dueling guitars of Hotel California. That's the effin best! Beyond classic!
Mark Knoplfer - Sultan of Swing (alchemy live)
THANK YOU!
yeahhh
So glad to see people saying this I agree!
YEAHHHHHHHHH
Fuck yeah!
The satisfaction when I thought you forgot Comfortably numb but then it was number 1.
It will always be number 1
Every time I hear the solo in the Pulse versions, I am moved to tears.
There's at least 20 more guitarists and solo's that deserve to be in the top 10, but I think we can all agree that the lack of amazing guitar solo's is why most of modern day music has no soul.
For me is Randy amazing love him.
RIP Randy
I feel Randy is the best among all
Mark knopfler's guitar solo at the end of dire straits' Sultans Of Swing - Alchemy Live is the best one ever
You're right my man!
I can't understand he is not in the list
my personal favourite knopfler solo is the one from brothers in arms
Maybe not the best ever, but it has to be in this list.
100% agree!
I agree with #1 and #2. "Comfortably Numb" and "Stairway to Heaven" both have iconic guitar solos💯. But that's about all I agree with on this list lol. Eric Clapton at #9 is absurd! Should have been at least top 5. And as much as I love Slash and Guns and Roses, #3 is too high for them in my opinion (higher than Hendrix? Clapton? Or Van Halen? No way!). And speaking of Van Halen... How was there no Eddie Van Halen on this list?? Not even in the top 10??🤦🏼🤦🏼
No one should be higher than Hendrix.
Richie, your solo is very amazing, №1(the very bestest guitar's solo in this world)!
My favorite is Sultans of Swing solo live version on Alchemy, from Dire Straits
Oh yeeeesss i totally agree with you !!!
Totally agreed
I think that it's technically an instrumental, not a solo, but I totally ageee
Same but I prefer the final solo to the first solo
@@nicola4877 how the f*** could it be an Instrumental when half of the song is with vocals??? thats literally the opposite of the definition of an instrumental...
Can't believe I'm not on this list.
Danyael same
loool
Danyael
Spoken like a true Lead guitarist
wigetta es real ziii z4 xd
I’m not even a huge fan of Pink Floyd. But that solo from comfortably numb is still epic!
But bohemian rhapsody is my personal number 1.
The vibrant melodies of the 1980s continue to echo through time, painting a vivid portrait of an era where music thrived, and iconic figures emerged as beacons of creativity and innovation.
Eddie Van Halen, a virtuoso of the guitar, didn't just strum strings; he orchestrated a symphony of rock melodies that ignited passion and energy. His pioneering "tapping" technique wasn't merely a skill; it was a seismic shift in the realm of guitar playing, a revolution that resonates through the corridors of rock history.
Prince, the enigmatic maestro, defied musical norms, blending genres to craft a sonic universe that transcended boundaries. His songs weren't just compositions; they were anthems of freedom, calling out to a generation hungry for musical exploration and expression.
David Bowie, the ever-evolving artistic luminary, didn't just change personas; he embodied artistic liberation. Each character he created wasn’t just a costume; it was a testament to his boundless creativity and his ability to redefine the very essence of artistic expression.
George Michael, with his soulful voice and emotionally resonant lyrics, crafted melodies that served as a heartbeat for an entire era. His tunes weren't just melodies; they were emotional journeys, capturing the essence of love, heartache, and the human experience.
Elton John, the piano virtuoso, didn’t just play keys; he painted emotional landscapes with every chord. His ballads weren't just songs; they were emotive journeys, weaving tales of love, loss, and resilience that resonated with audiences across generations.
Tina Turner's electrifying stage presence wasn't just a performance; it was an anthem of empowerment and strength. Her music wasn't just sound; it was a rallying cry, inspiring listeners to embrace their inner power and resilience.
Lionel Richie, the balladeer extraordinaire, crafted tunes that echoed universal emotions. His melodies weren't just compositions; they were emotional soundscapes, capturing the essence of human connections and heartfelt emotions.
These '80s icons weren’t just musical luminaries; they were pioneers who sculpted a sonic landscape that transcended time. Their influence isn't merely confined to the past; it reverberates through the present, guiding and inspiring artists in their quest for musical excellence and emotional resonance.
Their impact extended beyond their melodies, shaping fashion, culture, and societal norms. Prince's flamboyant style challenged gender norms, while David Bowie's shape-shifting personas sparked conversations about identity and self-expression. These artists weren’t just musicians; they were cultural catalysts, trailblazing paths that inspired generations beyond their time.
The '80s, a decade infused with exuberance and innovation, birthed an era of music that didn't just entertain but also moved souls. Each chord struck a chord within the hearts of listeners, resonating with emotions and experiences that formed the very fabric of their lives.
Their influence spanned genres, transcending the limitations of labels. Prince’s fusion of funk and rock, David Bowie’s genre-defying experimentation, and George Michael’s heartfelt ballads-all contributed to a musical landscape rich in diversity and depth.
As the '80s icons graced stages and airwaves, their performances weren't just concerts; they were experiences-an emotional journey through sonic landscapes that left an indelible imprint on the memories of those fortunate enough to witness them.
Their legacy endures not just in the music but in the emotions evoked by their melodies. The longing for an era where music wasn’t just an auditory experience but a profound emotional journey remains palpable. These icons, with their artistry and innovation, etched themselves into the annals of music history, leaving a timeless legacy that continues to inspire and resonate with music lovers across generations.
Dire Straits - Sultans of swing has my favorite one
I'm so happy comfortably numb was number one. The 1994 live pulse version was the best.
Daniel Charles yaa that thing everyone should watch it once in their life, the best solo performance I've ever seen
That solo inspired me to really learn the guitar
That one is very good but I do believe David Gilmore live at Pompeii was slightly better
I scrolled down for this comment. While solo preferences are subjective, the Pulse Comfortably Numb is uncontested for me. Another one that's great for me is Alvin Lee: The Bluest Blues.
Most definitely YES! David Gilmour's guitar solo on Comfortably Numb should always be number 1!
Dioooooos demasiadas obras de Arteeeee...imposible escojer...❤❤❤❤❤😊😊😊😊
This top its incomplete without van halen
And first songs are mediocre..
Alexandros Van halen is velocity and techniques, not musicality.
Alex Quaas WHAT?!?? It could be argued that not another band in R&R history has such an ability to create a feel good, party time vibe inside the heads of 3 thousand audience members. Sure, Eddie shreds.. but that feeling thing is ALL musicality.
Alex Quaas Amen to that. Pure boredom. Set guitaring back ten years.
There are 2 other videos
Comfortably Numb well deserved that number spot, brilliant musician that David Gilmour..
Jones
Jude Matthew dragonforce through the fire and flames did
I love the solo, don't get me wrong, but I'm sure there are better solos. Some of the solos below it in the list appeared nicer to me than the numb solo but that's just my opinion.
I agree!! Gilmour rarely gets recognized for his brilliant playing, especially on Comfortably Numb. Glad to see this at the top spot for once. The 1994 live Pulse performance of Comfortable Numb at Earl's Court may be the best ever performed by the band.
I love Gilmour, but there is no arguing with that!
A voz que narra é um excelente solo também 👏🏻
4:58 I saw Brian May, so I clicked, I really love Queen and their song Bohemian Rhapsody, I'm so obsessed with that song
what about the one were sponebob saved bikini bottom from planktons plan "z" to conquar the world?
Lol
Jack Johnson he did a good sola though
Jme Dean I r8 m8
+Jme Dean the goofy goober rock u mean
+Jme Dean It's a pity nobody never made a real lesson of goofy goober rock, since it has a good solo
Good thing they put Jimi Hendrix in the list
Miguel Chavarin It could be a Top 10 list about azerbadjanian overtone singing and the first two places would still go to Led Zeppelin and Jimi Hendrix ...
Amen
Lance Alejo
idc how overplayed stairway is its absolutely perfect in my opinion
glad to see pf and queen here too
Some of the best guitar duo solos or by the band Kix Dave and switch back and forth underrated one of the best guitar bands ever kix!!!!!
Jimmy Page and David Gilmour both have a special place in my heart...love them to bits!The amount of emotions I feel whenever I listen to them is indescribable. Long live Zeppelin,Long live Floyd💜
You mean all the songs Page plagarized? Good player, not original.
Bill M that's like saying every piano player is plagiarizing the first person to have ever played the piano
Clockwork Girl Fucking oath! I agree 100% There's many others I also love but you're right. Their mesmerising riffs & solos touch the soul & can bring a tear to the eye of this Rock & Metal loving man.
Bill M what he did was took that same rhythm, added some spice to it, and made it rock and roll appropriate and worthy. Not a 100% stealer
Snailier- Gaming 2 no Zeppelin stole lyrics and music and gave zero credit to the original artists. Do the research.
Soon as i saw Stairway to heaven was ranked no. 2 , i was assured that there's only one song left to be put at no.1 and i wasnt disappointed at all.
I was. Should have been Eruption from Van Halen
imo Stairway to Heaven is overrated
stairway to heaven shoud be nro1 always tho. its been voted year after year not just the best song ever,but also the best guitar solo ever.
@@freebee8221 led zeppelin and stairway to heaven is overrated whether you like it or not.
@@sunionbro8806 if you think that,then you should listen to it again. Listen to it with headphones on with your eyes closed and i guarantee you will get why its called the best song ever written.
Professionally I don't know what is considered a masterpiece but I listen to a lot of old music and when it comes to guitar plays there is no other song that has made me feel it so much as "The Night Sky" by Mostly Autumn
N 1 R.Mihajlovic- Tocak ( Smak - Ulazak u Harem (Uživo, Bašta SKC))
please stop talking, we're here to listen to the guitars, not your commentary
U right like how the fuck we supposed to hear it with her
@@dakotaleasure6918 First she presents the solos and then let us hear them, not too hard bro.
@@oswaldolemus9891 it was rhetorical you don't see a "?" Do you?
+1 !!!!!!
LOL
100% agree with the number one spot! Especially David Gilmour live in Pompeii comfortably numb that’s my favourite guitar solo of all time!
18 And Life's solo (Skid Row) is underrated
Brian May’s solos are always the bests
Prince "My Guitar Gently Weeps" Prince, Tom Petty, Steve Winwood, Jeff Lynne and others -- "While My Guitar Gently Weeps" at the 2004 Hall of Fame Inductions...
The man had it going on...
Absolutely. I just watched that solo again today. Prince is way under rated for his guitar skills
Holy crap, how was that not mentioned? im stunned. My world philosophy just took a major gut punch.
He demonstrated that a guitar can indeed weep.
I prefer the original version by George Harrison
kam kamelovic sorry to say this but the main electric guitar is played by Eric Clapton
Which is also the solo
Thumbs up if she should talk less in every video.
Darn - no Eddie Van Halen - such a legend who paved the way for some of the coolest modern rock and roll solo's and rifts of all time. Then again I am sure the world could easily add another 20 candidates for the greatest solos of all time. Boston, Scorpions, AC/DC, Dire Straits, Blue Oyster Cult, ZZ Top, Metallica, and oh my gosh so many more.
And megadeth, I get chills listening to some of their solos
FR
Everything is relative, naturally. The solos in Comfortably Numb and even Stairway are very easily replicated. That doesn't mean they're not great, but I wouldn't place them in the top 10. Sweet Child's riff was not a "joke" as is stated in this video (Slash discusses the riff at length in many videos). The absence of EVH in this list can only be explained by the myriad of blindingly awesome solos that he composed on the first four albums - so it was impossible to choose only one or two.
Faltou Mark Knopfler - Swultans of Swing.
Wanderson Costa vocalisrock
Sultans of swing
Dire straits
Alchemy live
1983
Best live solo of all time.
Agreed
Thanks mate, you did it for me. And who the f* is Slash? I mean come on Mojo!
Slash was the guitarist for Guns N Roses...
Better than any of those. Yeah. And unique.
Comfortably Numb, Stairway to Heaven and Sultans of Swing are in my opinions the three greatest guitar solos of all-time (I'd put them in that order or maybe swap Sultans and Stairway because come on, it's COMFORTABLY NUMB). So sad Sultans of Swing wasn't mentioned.
This being said, and while I'm not a big Guns N' Roses fan, the solos in November Rain and especially in Sweet Child O'Mine are absolutely wonderful.
They're all brilliant but there are some that deserve a mention like Jeff Beck and others
I know 2 led zeppelin solos on the list is a little excessive, but the since I've been loving you solo really hit the mark for me and is my personal number 1. Great list though!
Comfortably Numb isn't the hardest solo (only hard on the skin on your fingers, those bends, woof), but it is the most perfect solo. It is absolutely everything it needs to be with nothing more or less. Pure emotion and chills for the entire solo.
I agree. And there is another overlooked gilmour solo on song High Hopes. Pure emotion
Luka Svetina yes high hopes is amazing😍😍😍😍❤️🎸
Gilmour tells stories.
Emotion
Same can be said for stairway to heaven.
Most chilled rockers of all time: David Gilmour and Ritchie Blackmoor.
Also Slash
I feel like spending 10 years hanging out with Axl Rose could make even the most chill person loose their cool.
que onda con la que te lo mando por de que no te de un amigo 5 de que
What the f,,,k are u talking about
nvm you won't get it anyway
Mr. Crowley has probably my top 2 favorite solos EVER, and they're somehow even better live!
Randy Rhodes was freaking amazing. His work with Quiet Riot and then Ozzy was awesome. The cuts on his 12 string guitar for "Dee" was incredibly complex. That young man died way too soon. RIP R.R.
I can’t believe. There isn’t live tapes. Wtf. Led Zeppelin has over 360 concerts boots . Wtf. Nobody was smart enough to tape Randy it’s a crime. Ozzy should be. Jailed. But I did. Hear tidbit Bob Dailey has 8 hours. Of. Studio stuff
Aku kagum dengan mereka karena memiliki bakat yang hebat . Berkat Tuhan. Dalam hormat.terima kasih.dalam dari Bali Indonesia 💛🙏
Good lord, stop talking over all the solos! What could you possibly have to say that is better than the so called 10 best guitar solos??
Im a simple girl
I see Brian May I click
yyyyyeep,only to see him on number 5 tho 😢
Definitely should have been #1
Yep
@@emmalynwestrick9953 I've loved Queen since I was a year old, but trust me, NOBODY plays a better solo than David Gilmour, especially that one, he can do more with a single note than most others can do with the entire fretboard, he has so much emotion in his playing
Randy Rhoads would blow BM out of the water
The old string-bender is the best. He doesn't play a guitar, he makes it sing ♥
This list nailed it, especially #1 and 2.
Mark knofler? Sultans of swing
+Westernstar4964 The best of all time.Spot on.
+Jordie575 And it's one of the greatest rock tunes with all that rich harmony and bass supporting the guitar solo.
+Westernstar4964 Phil Emmanuel (Tommy's older brother) has been doing some great live extended versions of several Dire Straits songs for several years now. If only he would make an album of them.
As professional musician, I find this k I nd of amusing, as folks like Jimi cannot be compared to guys who play don't improv as much.
+Westernstar4964
lets not forget the Tunnel of Love ones :D
Brian May - I Want It All
Mark Knopfer - Sultans of Swing
Slash - November Rain
and wow there are much more that belong in a top 10 haha
Knopfler*
no
Excluding Sultans of Swing, none of the others deserve to be in the list imo
But the true question is not what else would you put on the list, but what would you take out of it hehe
November Rain? Seriously? Not even Slash's best solo.
You can't take out the top 4 in the video and Hotel California for those you mentioned
David Gilmour’s solo is the best one. It’s on a different level in so many ways. Love the 2017 Pompeii one.
My favourite of David is in Gdansk (Poland) 2006. It's greatest of all times.
But I find that Ritchie Blackmore is underrated...and where is Eddie VAN Halen ????
MARK KNOPFLER number 1
SULTANS OF SWING!
Thank you for talking through the entire thing
Eddie Van Halen on "Beat it", Dire Straits "Sultans of Swing, Led Zeppelin "Dazed and Confused".
George M beat it’s solo is trash. Eruption is known as the best solo of all time by every fellow guitarist I know
Eruption is a sodden, atonal, shite, mish-mash of random cacophony Ed never thought worthy of recording. Its pretty much a medley of every tap happy solo Ed ever came up with, its total garbage
Ed's blistering solo on "Hot For Teacher" is better.
@@Murph_gaming anything that actually has some kind of dramatic or tonal arc is way better than wanky noodle dandy
I think Page solos on Since ive been loving you and Aquilles last stand are better than in Dazed n confuzed
Goofy Goober Rock Solo!
This list needs the Goofy Goober Rock! I don't care if its a HM!
That was actually so badass lmao
i want to rock is the song
That used to be the song for my alarm an it would start Like GOOFY GOOBER ROCK! I would jump so high
+Mike 2011qwerty Who's up for Top 10 Guitar Solos In Animated Movies???!
There are several great solos from Alvin Lee and Ten Years After. Listen to Going Home and you will rate him higher than a few on this list. He was known as "the fastest guitarist in the west). He had "lighting fast fingers".
If you want to see lightning fast fingers check out Ayu Gusfanz. She (yes, she) is still young too. "Kamulyan" is a good one to look at. As fast as she plays in the first section, she doubles the speed in the reprise. I used to love Ten Years After, too. I'd love to change the world...
Personally I think the guitar work by Warren Haynes and Dickie Betts in "Soulshine" is incredible. I would have put it on the list.
Nobody ever includes Warren or Dickie on any list except maybe Southern Rock stuff I just don't get it 😞
David Gilmour. Master Legend God. Only guitar solo that brings me to tears. That haunting solo goes straight to the heart without mercy.
Number 1 was hands down the best solo in the history of man, Gilmour is unmatched 100%
Band of gypsies Machine Gun live at fillmore East will change your mind
@@Al-tj2sd yeah but not as good as gilmour he is amazing
Awesome guitar solo.
I knew David Gilmore had to be in there, but wasn't expecting him to be number one. Just listening to his work is inspiring for me. Having Brian May in the list is a given, He's in pretty every list I've listened too, and there's been quite a few, He's an amazing guitarist. Yeah I'm a huge Pink Floyd & Queen fan, But I do like a good guitar solo.
The final solo of Comfortably Numb on P.U.L.S.E is pure magic (especially the uncut version), it's spectacular in every way I can think of from from its tone to the emotions it conveys to the way it fits into the song perfectly and doesn't sound like he's just noodling away to fill time like you hear so many other guitarists do.
I remember seeing P.U.L.S.E broadcast on a PBS station during one of their bi-monthly beg-a-thons and hearing that solo made me go out and buy P.U.L.S.E the next day on my way to work.
definitely agree!! and I also think the PULSE is the greatest concert of all time (although is was called the Division Bell tour) - and it includes the only pro video of the band doing Dark Side of the Moon - a DVD to cherish
phishfearme2
I would love it even more they would re-release it complete and uncut, there's about 5 minutes of stuff cut out including forty seconds of the solo from Comfortably Numb a minute or so of the solo from Sorrow and one minute from Run Like Hell.
You are right!
I totally agree!!!
concordo em grau, genero e estilo simplesmente fantastico David gilmor , solando confortably nunb.
I think spongebob had one of the best guitar solos in history
Fax
No one can top that
No
I’m a goofy goober, ROCK!
Well Well Well
First time ever me and millions like me agreed with your no.1 and 2 ....pink Floyd and Led Zeppelin ❤️ Today tomorrow forever
Well you got number one right on. But not a bad list at all. Thanks 😊
She said that "smoke on the water" is a heavy metal song. I want to die
KAPITAN KRAB same
@@vignirsaer Deep Purple is sort of Metal
@@chrissan2044 technically, it's hard rock
@@felipesuarez9643 Back then it was conaidered Metal but not anymore
The most popular riffs that inspired the early 70's, and eventually created heavy metal are "you really got me", "hey joe", "born to be wild", and "smoke on the water". Listen carefully to any heavy metal song and you will understand these influences. Don't be a smartass. Be a wise man...
Prince doesn't get the respect he deserves as a guitarist, he has many great guitar solos, but his "While my Guitar gently weeps" solo is nothing short of amazing! Prince is definitely one of those underrated guitarist and should be put in the legendary guitarist category!
I agree, that solo is godly
He is the best of all
I think his singing and song writing over shadows of how good of a guitar player he is, imo he's definitely in top 10 of all time.
His throwaway licks are fucking astounding.
💯
2016 live in Pompeii comfortably numb needs to be put on here for number 1/2
Thank you for providing a good music clip. In my opinion, I think that the legendary rock group Queen's musics are rather conspicuous in that this group focuses on chorus while the other rock groups focus on electric guitar playing. However, I cannot help wondering to listen Queen's music :)
Agree with number one full heartily. Can not express enough how the Comfortably Numb solo somehow transcends normal guitar solos. It's a life changing 2 minutes of music
SO OVERRATED
Comfortably Numb das zweite Solo bereitet einem nach Jahrzehnten immer noch Gänsehaut
@@erwinwurm8898 nein
@@sm1le396you're probably too musically uneducated to understand how good that solo is.
that is ridiculous
I have been listening to Comfortably numb since last 4 years and still i consider it the best solo ever
You could add everyone who hasn't been mentioned including Prince, but Dave Gilmour and Comfortably Numb beats any other solo by a mile. It will stand as a masterpiece for decades to come. Secondly, a bit miffed that Hank Marvin isn't in the list.
Leaving out instrumentals from such as Vai and Satriani makes your list superfluous
Was waiting for Comfortably Numb the whole time... seeing it at number one felt real good haha
Me too bra
At number 2 I thought to myself that if Comfortably Numb isn't number one I'll dislike the vid, but it showed up. Hahaa
Bro you dont know any shit about rock.
pink floyd is defenitly one of the best rock bands ever
I just though if there's no Pink Floyd on the list then i'm gonna dislike
No way!
Come on, that's a TOP 10 HARD ROCK GUITAR SOLOS!
No Steve Vai, Eddie Van Halen, Paul Gilbert, John Petrucci, Joe Satriani, James Hetfield, Synyster Gates, Kiko Loureiro? I can't believe that!
Slash??? lol
I want my 10 minutes back!
"...aaaaand excluded instrumentals" 0:30
We cannot do this bro!
If it's a Top 10, we need to include all of solos.
How is slash a joke? That solo is fucking sick along with many others
No way!
Read the description first then.
hard to pick just 10, comfortably numb is top for sure, nothing comes close, Mark Knoffler telegraph road should be in there as well
Thank you!!! Soo many greats! Gotta go with Jimmy!
There are some exceptional solos and live versions I would add to the list:
Prince - While my Guitar Gently Weeps (Hall of Fame).
Gary Moore - Still got the Blues.
Queen - Innuendo.
David Gilmour - Comfortably Numb (Live in Pompeii).
Eric Clapton - Layla (Live Aid).
Led Zeppelin - Stairway to Heaven (Live).
Pink Floyd - Time.
Dire Straits - Sultans of Swing
David Gilmour - High Hopes (Live in Pompeii).
Prince - Purple Rain (Live & the Super Bowl show).
Queen - Hammer to Fall (Live Aid).
Dire Straits - Telegraph Road.
You could make this top list just of pink floyd songs but they said its only limited to one song per band. But yeah all of these songs you listed are amazing especially hammer to fall at the liveaid concert with the eyoo at the beginning and Gilmours guitar solos at the Pompeii concert (you forgot Sorrow)
KingofSchubi Yeah, Coming Back to Life could also be there and I’ve completely forgotten to add any Jimi Hendrix.
Apart the songs you mentioned about Queen, I think the best solo of the band is that one of Brighton Rock, the studio version and the solo at Wembley
What about Stevie Ray Vaughn?
It doesn't say rock it says best of all time!
Before watching this, I knew this list HAD to include Dave Gilmour’s solo on Comfortably Numb!! The ‘Pulse’ performance being the absolute greatest ever!!
MiniLemmy
Agreed
Pompeii isn't bad either
Gilmour had such a great feel and sound! Us and Them solo is cool as heck!
Blessed to be a Bay Area high school sophomore at the beginning of the Haight Ashbury/S.F. music scene. Saw a show virtually every week between 1965 and 1970. Have seen all of these bands multiple times in their Hayday. I doubted we would agree. I am pleasantly surprised and shocked that 7 of your picks would have been on my list. (though I prefer Jimmy Page's solo on Since I've Been Loving You). My three substitutes would have been: one of many choices from Pete Townsend, Steely Dan, and Duane Allman. (Maybe Frampton). Overall, a commendable, thoughtful list from a long-term rocker who is still current.
