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.

Give it away with its fast doublestops or the exceedingly funky opening to Subway to Venus immediately come to mind.

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.

Goosebumps everytime I hear that Pink Floyd solo! So well performed as well! Great stuff Paul! Also love the addition of the magical closet where you pull out everything! Did I also spot a cheecky 11th solo on there? Or am I just imagining things? 😁

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...

One of the songs that blew my mind completely was Jeff Beck's Scatterbrain. The riff is relentless and the solo lines are majestic. I think it's time for me to finally try to play it.

Hi Paul, great playing, so articulate, clean and accurate, but man the video's production, direction, takes, it's so classy, clean and astonishingly done, congratulations on an awesome work, great guitar choice even the telecaster to the red special, oh and to include that Muse's intro, made my day. Take care.

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.

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 KZfaq called like “Top 10 John Petrucci solos” and it’s wild And many more

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.

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.

I know it's not the most interesting solo/riff, but from an "iconic" or game changing perspective, I feel like Jack White is a worthy addition. Seven Nation Army for example, showcases one of the most memorable, catchy, so-simple-it's-frustrating guitar riffs that is almost 1st on the list of beginners learning to play. Just my 2 cents. 😂 As always, an incredible video. The quality of the production in your videos occasionally gets overlooked by the sheer quality of playing, but here both were showcased so well. Great job!

Thrilled to see the much overlooked Peter Green here, perhaps the greatest tone of any British blues guitar player ever recorded (an opinion shared by the late BB King, "He had the sweetest tone I’ve ever heard"). I'd love to see Hendrix in here too, a snapshot of his masterly Machine Gun or Axis (Bold As Love) perhaps. Hendrix can't be captured in a 10 second "solo" of course but I think that a sample of his great phrasing and approach deserve to be featured.

Definitely missing the Eagles Hotel Calif. This solo is just on point measured with an atomic clock crossed with the heart and soul of a hyper sensitive. Also Mark Knopflers Telegraph Road offers some gemmish vibes. Not forgetting Fokus and the whole Hocus Pocus they throw at their audience and many more. There cannot be 10 best solos Paul and you know that. There are tons of extraoridinary bits and pieces all arround impossible to pick just 10 or 25 or 100. Who knows em all?
