Thanks for including me and the classical genre in your video, Sammy G!

[BradleyHallGuitar]

Oh nice, I completely forgot I was in this lol Thanks for the invite!

[hampuspersson]

I wanted ”Mr. Crowley” on the list, but to see John Norum included made me very happy, he truly is an amazing player!

[BecomeTheKnight]

Thanks for including me, man!!! Great video!

[noello]

I knew that nothing other than Tornado Of Souls would be best Metal solo. It's just so darn good

[jacobpattinson]

I like you included a whole bunch of different styles. Makes it much more diverse, and shows how different players have different ideas.

Love the classical guitarist reminding us all that no one person can or will ever “master” the instrument there’s always something new to learn and as many different techniques but I especially enjoy watching classical, Flamenco, and bluegrass players they are fascinating to be able to play acoustic with the ease and dexterity most of us will never approach on a more forgiving electric guitar lol.
I also love double stops and unison bends and pre bend release of country lead players. I’ve never been into country music but it’s been all around me my whole life so I guess those bends and double stops subconsciously crept into my playing and my friends who are metal heads like me would trip out what’s that country sounding thing you did ? I remember reading guitar magazine columns and I believe it was Marty Friedman himself that said if you find yourself in a rut learn a solo or licks from a genre that you normally don’t play or listen to and I think that’s some of the best advice for anyone who wants to eventually sound like themselves on guitar you gotta listen and absorb anything that you can use now or later. I mean have you ever learned anything on guitar that you regret learning ? Besides bad techniques and habits of course.

everybody asking what is the best guitar solo of all time but nobody asking what is the best time of all guitar solos

[dustinsmith]

The sleep by pantera. Dimes most gilmouresqe solo. So perfect

[Groovegandalf]

SRV - little wing
Eric Johnson - cliffs of Dover
The whole damned song is the solo, either way.
Great video, y'all

[LocrianDorian]

Awesome collab of some of my favourite guitar creators on YouTube. Brandon as usual absolutely nailing Alhambra.

[kevinsiegel]

For me, one of the greatest solos ever played is also very sadly one of the most often overlooked. Alex Lifeson's solo in Rush's "La Villa Strangiato" is an absolute masterclass in taste, style, and sensitivity. It exudes emotion and tells a story within the story of the song. It's guitar perfection to me, and I'm a drummer. (Albeit a classically trained one, along with violin.)

I love these kinds of videos because there is objectively no right answer for what the "best solo" is. And as a result, we get opinions from musicians and possibly get to hear about music that we haven't heard about before. Giving us something new to listen to.

[andrewpappas]

Some of my picks because why not

Rock Solo: Johnny B. Goode - Chuck Berry (Chuck Berry)
Blues Solo: The Thrill Is Gone - BB King (BB King)
Classical Solo: And I Love Her - The Beatles (George Harrison)
Pop Solo: Waiting On the World to Change - John Mayer Trio (John Mayer)
Metal Solo: Master of Puppets - Metallica (Kirk Hammett)
Jazz Solo: Caravan - Wes Montgomery (Wes Montgomery)
Country Solo: Mud On the Tires - Brad Paisley (Brad Paisley)
Hair Metal Solo: Home Sweet Home - Mötley Crüe (Mick Mars)
Prog Solo: Under A Glass Moon - Dream Theater (John Petrucci)
Indie Solo: Paranoid Android - Radiohead (Jonny Greenwood)

[TheArmchairrocker]

Clapton's Crossroads solo gets my vote for one of the best live solos. Gilmour' Comfortably Numb 2nd solo is one of the best outro solos. RR on Mr. Crowley is pretty incredible also.

[donald-parker]

Amos Garrett's solo on the Maria Muldaur song Midnight At The Oasis. Alan Murphy's solo on Mike And The Mechainics song Silent Running. David Lindley on Jackson Browne's song Tender Is The Night. Eagles - One Of These Nights. To name a few.

What a great video . . Love the way samurai gave it away to his buddies! And what a selection of solis and the perfect people to play and experience them with . . .truly makes me appreciate social media and reaffirms all my wasted time :D

[gglasser]

The more I think about it, the more I'm convinced that the "Beat it" solo has got to be on the 10 greatest guitar solos ever! Some Steely Dan solos come to mind: Peg, Kid Charlemagne, Don't Take me Alive all come to mind among others.

[craigw]

Once again, Chicago's Terry Kath gets no love. His solo on "25 Or 6 To 4" is legendary, and his performance at Tanglewood is jaw-dropping awesome.

[petealba]

Some very nice choices. Thank you for doing this and sharing the history. Far too many people forget that soloing is part of a story inside of a song and it is the responsibility of the soloist to continue it. It is not a bunch of solos strung together with zero consideration for what is played before as you will sometimes see in these "shred collaborations". I love shredding and my problem is not the players, more the context.
