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 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
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 )
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
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!
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.
@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.
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
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
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
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!
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. 👏👏
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%.
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!
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 👍👍👍
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.
Very impressive. These are not easy guitar parts to play. You have quite the talent! Disappointed that Invincible wasn’t #1, but then I didn’t even know the last two songs, which must be from more recent amuse albums that I’m not familiar with, so I guess I just have to listen to more of their music.
Amazing video bro, you got some great solos on your list. I just love muse so much and you captured Matt's essence in your playing style perfectly, keep up the amazing work!
@@jhmillard99 No problem man, it’s always good to recognize someone’s talent and you definitely have it, can’t wait to hear some covers of the new songs.
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
Exceptional. I play this video all the time when I'm nostalgic for the Muse concerts I've attended. Part 2 was fantastic as well, you've done Matt proud. Please please please release a video on or do a write up somewhere for the effects pedals you used and how they were set, you nailed the sound!
Part 2 coming soon. Let me know what solos you want to hear in it!
Audioslave!!
Recess please !
Will it be muse again? If yes then LET'S DO MICRO CUTS, UNNATURAL SELECTION AND MK ULTRA! 🤩
Metallica!!
Knights of Cydonia please !

Yeah he’s on another planet. Imagine being able to come up with that stuff
Muse don’t get enough recognition full stop, Matt’s talent is incredible!

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

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
A true muse fan
made me cry
That solo on that version was superb!!!
These riffs make me so emotional and I can’t even explain it
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
and reapers needs to be in there as well!
Thank you! They are some amazing solos too, most of them will be in part 2!
@@jhmillard99 can’t wait :)
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!
You gotta be kidding me, I love all these songs as well! I'll add New Born and Psycho to the list.
no handler, dark shines, or citizen erased. but most importantly, panic station is their best solo. hands down. good list tho.
Handler and citizen are both in my part 2 vid
I'm a huge Muse fan and I usually hate people trying to copy great solos, but you killed it man! Absolutely insane
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
@@jhmillard99 and you did do them all the justice they require
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!
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.
Same, definitely my favourite b side, and criminally underrated song
If you are a true Muse fan, you know it and like it :)
Muse has been my favorite band for 20 years!!!!
You sound AMAZING
Great playing! Matt Bellamy is a super underrated guitarist. What a beast!
@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.
100% agree with you
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
Yeah , he forgot plug in baby , the most strong solo , имхо
@@ketone4444 actually, plug in baby doesnt have a solo, is just the main riff
@@user-pw1ry6ct7l yeah but Supremacy would be really cool
Darkshines should be one. It’s easily one of their top 5.
Plug in Baby doesn't have a solo. Its simply the main riff, the hook of the song.
Hysteria and Reapers have got to be two of my favorite muse songs, you did those solos so well dude. Props to you!
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
Idk why but I feel so proud when I see a fellow lefty guitarist on youtube
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
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
It was a crime not to include to video the handler solo. The coolest one
You NAILED that reapers solo!!
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!
Thanks so much man !!
Damn you nailed every solo, good job dude!! The Cort Matt Bellamy signature you were using will be my next guitar.
Dudee!!! You play so good, please continue posting amazing content i would really like to watch them.
Thanks a lot mate, I will do!!🤙
if muse ever need a guitar player, you would be the one! Perfect! Really nice to see and hear!
Thanks a lot! That would be the dream haha
Man that's fuckin incredible thought I was actually listening to matt bellamy play top drawer stuff keep em coming
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. 👏👏
Not many people care for blockades...
I do. You do. Legend
Mate. Your insane
I think you've done them all... do me
.....
...
. Erm....... do me......do US.....No. you've done them all.
the New Born solo, HAARP version... you nailed it!!!
Nailed the tones, great technique. Never been a huge fan of Muse solos but you've done a great job here!
Thanks so much mate !
I absolutely adore Guiding Light!! The song is all round great but the solo is insanely spine-tingling and magnificent!!!!
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.
Thanks a lot dude appreciate it🤙
I miss Muse already 🥲😂 loved this btw!!
That bend at the start of Madness was nutty! Great work dude
GOOOOD!!! So refreshing seeing some love for Eternally Missed, so incredibly underrated.
Reapers is number 1 without any question. So much fun to play!!
My Favourite is Citizen Erased, especially live version of that solo. Do it on Part 2 pls :)
My Top 3
Citizen Erased
Animals
Thoughts of a Dying Atheist
Also, Riffs from Handler and Sunburn
Citizen erased bdo live is the best
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%.
Guitar heros 👍🎸.. Un petit bonjour de France.. Fantastic job.
Reapers has one of the greatest solos ever! Love how ferocious the whole song is. You did a great job brother.
Invincible is such a killer solo to me, all of BHaR is legendary Muse to me.
Yeah that’s definitely one of my favourite albums of all time
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!
By the holy light. That is some serious talent you own James. Brilliant!
That Reapers solo is THE BEST
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.
Muse fan I watch, Muse fan I follow
New Born was just amazing.
That reapers solo at the end was friggin amazing!!! 😍😍
oh i'm obsessed with this
Mate you fucking killed all of these. Especially loved Hysteria, Animals and Reapers. Keep crushing it my dude
Great list and excellent playing! But I would have included Citizen Erased in top 5
I think "Animals" and "Reapers" are the hardest ones,great video btw!!!
Amazing playing. Your tone is spot on too. The pitch shifting stuff was bad ass
Hysteria is my favourite, sounded amazing !!!1
Great job on all of them dude but imo your Hysteria was 11/10
I take it back - every single one is fucking impeccable
I wasn't expecting it to be but definitely appreciate that the New Born solo was the kickass live version thanks to mr.shifty pedal!
aww... I thought you gonna play the latter part of the Eternally Missed solo...
I demand the full cover! especially La Cigale ver :D
Haha I might just have to
Or even better, the original 2002 version ;)
Really amazing ! You play very well ! I'm waiting for Part 2 😃
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 !
This brought a tear to my eye bro!
matt bellamy is defo a top tier musician one of my favs of all time you done it justice good job my child.
I'm always asking if I would play better when I would play lefthanded. Probably not. Nicely done!
Amazing play!! I forgot about the eternally missed for sometime. Thank you for the play
me dieron ganas de escuchar todo muse de nuevo. Amazing bro
Mint tones dude🤙 Matt Bellamy is right up there with the best of the best. Unbelievable imagination.
Muse solos are so amazing. Reaper's solo is specially satisfying.
2:03 this is SICK bro
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 👍👍👍
I knew reapers would be the number one. It's my favorite Muse solo. And btw, amazing guitar playing and awesome tone, wow.
Amazing guitar playing mate! Thoughts of a Dying Atheist has a great solo imo
Yeah i think absolution era has some of the best solos !
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.
Loved your take on the live New Born solo, great stuff!
DAMN THAT NEW BORN SOLO ALMOST KILLED ME
James, mate. you're a fucking legend. keep it alive, the rock and roll i mean.
This is some good stuff dude, made me grab my bass to jam out to a couple songs with you. Crazy good tone, Hysteria and Newborn is just chefs kiss 👏
Ahh that’s awesome, and thank you so much 🤙
You are an excellent guitarist. Great job.
You are freakin' awesome, man! Great solo selection and perfect performance. Hats off to you! PS: My personal fav is Hysteria, I love it.
Thanks. It's time to refresh my playlist.
WOW!!! You, sir, are truly brilliant. These are excellent choices and so incredibly well done!
Should do a part 2 I reckon (with knights of cydonia solo, that's a fun one to play), all these solos are goated though 🤘🤘🤘
Part 2 is definitely in order !
Young man you've just blown mu mind. Keep up the good work. And you saved the best til last
Incredible job dude! Best covering matt solos I must say. Keep it up!
Dude. Man. Broski. Sick, dank, nasty, rank, disgustingly good.... you are one hell of a guitar player man
Very impressive. These are not easy guitar parts to play. You have quite the talent!
Disappointed that Invincible wasn’t #1, but then I didn’t even know the last two songs, which must be from more recent amuse albums that I’m not familiar with, so I guess I just have to listen to more of their music.
thanks mate...now i remember why i like muse
Amazing video bro, you got some great solos on your list. I just love muse so much and you captured Matt's essence in your playing style perfectly, keep up the amazing work!
Thank you so much dude!!! Muse are incredible, I definitely plan on doing much more of their stuff
@@jhmillard99 No problem man, it’s always good to recognize someone’s talent and you definitely have it, can’t wait to hear some covers of the new songs.
Thoughts of a Dying Atheist should be in the list my friend
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
Thoughts coming in part 2 in a few days!
@@jhmillard99 Ah I see you are a man of culture as well
Looking forward to part 2, these solos are awesome.
Well done !! Excellent video & phenomenon guitar playing , good luck in the future !!!!!!
Молодец парень!!! Шикарное исполнение!
Melted my face. Most excellent
Oh man you absolutely nailed reapers, fantastic compilation, thank you
Thanks a lot! And thank you for watching 🤙
Great job, dude! What distortion pedal are you using? Awesome tones.
Thank you!! For this video it was done using NEURAL DSP NOLLY amp sim
@@jhmillard99 Can you take a screenshot of the tones settings.
i have no words, you've got this! Amazing!
Exceptional. I play this video all the time when I'm nostalgic for the Muse concerts I've attended. Part 2 was fantastic as well, you've done Matt proud. Please please please release a video on or do a write up somewhere for the effects pedals you used and how they were set, you nailed the sound!
Man, that was insane! Can you tell me how you get that tone? What gear do you use?
Up! Sounds exactly the same
Amazing!!! 🙌 Enjoyed listening to this on the train home from London after a long day!
Hello fellow lefty guitar player, awesome video.
Brilliant! Pure esthetic pleasure! Thank you so much🧡🧡🧡🧡
Now I just have to find a video where you use that kill switch! Amazingly performed solos! Keep up!!! Real talent!!!
Guys!! Your talent is just insane ! You deserve to be on stage
