Top 10 Greatest Guitar Solos

[nyarlathotep989]

Gilmour tops it for me.

[urbino08]

@nyarlathotep989 You're right! David is my god!



[nyarlathotep989]

Dear god does anyone know any other Randy's song?!??!?!!??!?

[ozart2002]

That list is mostly weak, so here are some solos to check out (I like 'em long):

Ted Nugent - Hammerdown (with Meatloaf on Vocals)

Montrose - Black Train (Ronny Montrose, not Sammy)

Blind Faith - Do What You Like

Deep Puple - Burn

Outlaws - High Tide & Green Grass (ranks with Free Bird)

Tull - Aqualung

I'll try posting these in a vid later. Lost more, but out of time now.

Quicksilver - Who do You Love (long song - 23 mins with two solos)

Judas Priest - Painkiller (also 2 solos)

[Hossambalouiri]

RIP Good Music.....Justin Bieber ...Just....Fuck You!

[floydsterish]

everybody has obviously forgotten about peter green!!!!!

[meme9480]

y el solo de rata???

[matiallo]

david gilmour at 4?????????????????????????

[shefow]

Comfortably num solo is the best of the world... NO doubts!!!!!!

[strikeout1991]

@shefow

there are many fuckin' awesome solos and comfortably numb definately belongs to them

[luisluna2112]

Pretty good list. Sultans of Swing riffs should make top ten. Metalica is mostly speed-nothing I can even remember 10 minutes later. Clapton is over-rated. A damn fine guitarist one of the best but let's get real -Layla riff was outstanding-nothing he's done since then comes even close to that genius.

[tenacken]

@luisluna2112 Agreed. I never could appreciate Clapton like everybody says I'm supposed to. Competent? Yes. "Clapton is god"? Not by a long shot.

[1longcoat]

You gotta be kidding. You think the guitar was invented by people born after 1960 who went on to grow their hair long?! Virtuosity without nothin more is toilet paper for the flusher

[shovelhead5656]

hands down jimmy number 1

[postduifmarii]

where is: deep purple - child in time ?

[Justeatmytoast]

I don't see any sense in all that guitar competitions about who's faster, better, stronger, better technically and who's most perfect. Making a list about who's better just for nothing, just when it doesn't matter as a way of pure enjoying music.Making a list for arguying about who's better and below that a group of guys arguying because they have diffrent opinions.

[MegaBasshero]

Joe Satriani or Steve Vai are definitly better than Kirk Hammet

[J0HN1011]

if u take ur head out of mainstreams ass u can find music 110% better than this

[karenn11jm]

1) eric clapton in the 10th? you are putting the blues father in te 10th?

2) the solo of hotel california is not THAT great.

3)THE REST ARE PERFECT

[Sumit95ification]

I say that if Kirk Hammet's 10 solos were put in there, that would be great.

Thumbs up for METALLICA!

[davidmlee1]

what about neil young and stephen stills jamming on 4 way street

[terminator78926]

i agree you with the first =)



[cautious116]

cant argue with the top 4dave

[attilayacht]

Do you agree? I don't, sorry!

[jamoxesox]

coldpaly licks balls

[TommyRamone94]

how can you end that video with Coldplay??

[epiphone10001]

SLASH !!!

[heavyrules6699]

tornado of souls (freedman), for the love of god (vai), temple of the king (blackmore), mr crowly (rhoads), high hopes (gilmour).

[metaldudeupnorth]

@heavyrules6699 couldnt agree any more, away with this "slash"

[scphuris]

@metaldudeupnorth slash is a great guitarist, he deserves everything hes achieved

[heavyrules6699]

Where is tornado of souls???

[1208zeppelin]

you dont think its better ever?

CAUSE ITS STUDIO VERSION

put STAIRWAY TO HEAVEN LIVE 1973

you gonna say "i think its best ever"

[rorakias]

Rory Gallagher????????? ain't no guitar list without Rory...

[stradlin62]

@rorakias Yeah, Gallagher is one of the best for Slash...

[TommyRamone94]

@stradlin62 Hendrix once was asked what it feels like to be the greatest guitarist on earth, re replied "Ask Rory Gallagher"

[andreas1458]

Randy Rhoads and David Gilmour are the best!

[panteraman92]

I am immensely sick of Slash showing up everywhere, he doesn't deserve to be in the same galaxy as David Gilmour. And Where the FUCK is the solo from Floods by Pantera?? i need to join the Guitar World staff and set a couple things straight.

[XXSniPerHeAdXX]

free bird madonnaaaaaaaaaaa!

[zeeLibertiner]

where is the asian guy from australian idol???

[TheJuangui11ermo]

Where is Nothing else matters' solo! it's not as complex as other solos but it gives a lot of energy to the song!!

[DooM666HarvesteR]

Where Is Mark Knopfler - Brothers In Arms ( Nelson Mandela 88' Birthday )

[blizzdizzl2323]

where is (insert name here)!!!!!!!

[julianlemonte]

where the fuck is marty frieman -tornado of souls

[emptypockets11]

"Adventures in a Yorkshire Landscape" - Bebop Deluxe????!!!!

[MafiaTVserbia]

[petek333]

@MafiaTVserbia Randy Rhoads Mr. Crowley

[adriansmith55]

nobody beats rhoads period i don't care who u r

[MrKulinka]

where is Dimebag Darrell?

[Alvinegro1904]

Coldplay at the end fucked the whole video.

[karenn11jm]

@Alvinegro1904 hahahaha right ;)

[psydimon]

that is just a melodique soliste

[MultiCool911]

#7 sounds like i'm playing twisted metal

[stefanopigozzo1]

and MARK KNOPFLER???????????

[Dommak89]

@stefanopigozzo1 he's on 22

[MyLifeOfGuitar]

jimi hendrix isnt actually that good at guitar, some, or even most of his live performances were appauling

[Virmax5701]

David Gilmour is not number one ??

[TheNagaKid]

@EkonEzung Awesome Cover !!

[JPFan98]

@Dominator5515 Wow! Are you happy now?;)

Why should I care what you think?

[JnrTheSoul]

buckethead- soothsayer ^^

[MrNaklarmann]

bad list

what´s with hubert sumlin,b.b. king,duane allman and FREDDIE KING(HE´S THE MASTER OF SOLOING)

not randy rhoads

[Petar269724]

Seing comments on this list, I am reassured that making this kind of lists is just plain stupid.

[cayanezgin]

Randy is best...

[xsellsbrod]

you forgott Mr. Alex Lifeson /RUSH

[GuitaristJesse2442]

Hotel California is the best guitar solo ever.

no argument 

[Biker999i]

Top 10 without Rory Gallagher and Ritchie Blackmore ???

A strange kind of top 10 ... or a top 10 million miles away from reality ...

Just my opinion ...

[acreswild]

Hendirx hat keine Riffs gespielt. Das waren alles Soli!

[jimihendrix19999]

@acreswild Stimmt, Hendrix war schon immer die Nr.1

[acdcbug2012]

well fuck guitar world too then

[MaidenMadeOfIron]

listen to the Paschendale solo by Iron Maiden, it is honestly the best solo ever

[360flip117]

up until 5 it was good, then you absolutely ruined it. dave gilmour, comfortably numb pulse version is the best piece of music ever written. fact not opinion :)

[geomikevideomusic]

i want to be jimmy

[geomikevideomusic]

jim and slash for ever

[215501]

1-jimmy page

[jammer88jijoe]

kirk hammet \m/ and Jimi Hendrix <3 Rip

[9danielos5]

1. Brian May

2. Jimmy Page

3. Eric Clapton

4. Mark Knopfler

5. Tony Iommi

6. Slash

[Beechtiii95]

Solo 8 = gay !!! ;)

[macoom12]

Great post. Rory Gallagher is up there with the best in my objective Irish view

[jetman1098]

there's no point in doing these lists because some retard will always argue about it.

[SleepingPudge]

SLASH?

[geoffshred]

clapton was good at cocaine, not guitar

[bradbox13]

jimmy page- stairway to heaven is the greatest song to ever be written and always will be

[jimihendrix19999]

die einteilung ist falsch ich bin dafür das clapton weiter nach vorne kommt und wenn man mal das beste hendrix solo reinstellen würde wäre er aber mit GANZ GROßEN ABSTAND 1. Platz geworden

[grave8digger8]

It gives so many very good Guitar Solos, but i don't know

which is the Best ;)

[TheFloydGiver]

why is stairway to heaven always first?!?!?

[gdimo1997]

you're is good

chek out mine

1. free bird:lynyrd skynyrd

2.eruprion:eddie van allen

3.stairway to heaven:led zeppelin

4.crazy train:ozzy

5.you don't love me(live):allman brothers

[sgperson101]

i think ur right jimmy page is the duck's fuck when guitar is involved

[DidierLSF]

Jimi will always be number one

[Damnblastify]

Where's get the funk out by extreme?!?!?!

[AkuManusia1997]

where is Synster Gates..??? i think he is the top guitar player.. he has very nice solo

[A7xiiShadowzZ]

@AkuManusia1997 agreed

[groundedroots]

No Gary Moore?? This is simply a shame...

[GamhmenoiMpatsoi]

where the uck is chuck schldiner??

[skabadranias]

where is rory gallagher????

[kakophonics]

stick them

[kakophonics]

I dont think so ... rubbish

[adgta]

I'm seeing Clapton on that list yet I'm not seeing Angus Young....there's something very wrong there, and why did I have to listen to Coldplay at the end? I want my money back!

[1Guug]

@adgta

angus young is a joke compared to greats like hendrix clapton Jeff bekc or SRV

[RadioKABUL666]

THE BEST SOLO IS VOODOO CHILD/ JIMI HENDRIX!!!

[TheTINCHO44]

bohemia rapsody//brian may y sympathy for the devil// heigth richards donde estan ?

[punschrus]

Gary Moore?

[Delroy444]

Slash would be useful for cleaning Mark Knopflers shoes.

[martinryan69]

there should be more hendrix in the top 10 to be honest....

[jackwills101]

@martinryan69 to be frankly honest there should only be Hendrix in the top ten

[epifender1]

You've missed Mark Knopfler. I think only 3 of those should be there. Hotel California, Crossroads and Comfortably Numb

[spikelive]

respect for your chart...but there are so many great guitar solos and great guitarist,especially from the past...but even some great guitar player now for example MATT BELLAMY FROM MUSE!

[JPFan98]

@13eyeofthebeholder I know another joke,...you;)

All KISS Fans ...thumbs up!

[YNWAnr9]

WHERE IS SLASH !! ??



[hogweed89]

What about Firth of Fifth by Genesis?

[sharloable]

awesome



[MrPhotodoc]

You had me with Gilmore but you forgot almost anything by Boston.

[95FreedomFighter]

Rory Gallagher should be mentioned too

[lolexrp]

Sweed child o` mine

[kalckful]

look at this:

1.David Gilmour

2.Jimmy Page

3.Jimi Hendrix

4.Ritchie Blackmore

5.Carlos Santana

[gdimo1997]

@kalckful jimi must be in the first place i think

but it isnt a bad list

[TheMark0fDeath]

@kalckful I disagree, hendrix shoul be above Page, dont get me wrong theyre both amazing, and all but hendrix wasnt technical lik page, funky, groovy, and emotion incorperated into his songs

[saalexandrov]

@TheMark0fDeath So Jimmy is not emotional? If this is what you're saying, than you're clearly wrong.

[Ex77Thruxton]

@kalckful

2. Eric Clapton (Crossroads is insane, you clearly haven't heard his 24 Nights Sunshine of your love one where he owns the stage, beat Jimmy Page's 8mins of Stairway in 25secs. Jeff Beck did the same)

1. Doug Aldrich (Current lead for Whitesnake. Search. My Evil Ways by the band and you'll seriously be stunned)

[museman98]

@kalckful you get a thumbs up for including David Gilmour

[acdcwesaluteyou1]

@kalckful bad list where is Angus Young

[kalckful]

@acdcwesaluteyou1

that list is for TOP CLASS guitarist ever.

AC/DC`s Angus Young is for second league, with Slash, Steve Vai, Eddie van Halen etc.

[THEDAN383]

@kalckful slash is third league.

[dsoutherngent1]

Randy Rhodes definitely belongs in there, but not from crazy train, rather his solo from Suicide Solution....it was mentioned earlier, Texas Flood by SRV also belongs there...otherwise....yeah....t­he list is pretty close to being spot on

[JPFan98]

@hobartquins you dont know KISS???

Kiss is one of the best bands in the 70's!(painted faces,costumes??)

look at the songs I was made for lovin you or rock and roll all night!

KISS is one of the biggest rock bands ever!

[13eyeofthebeholder]

@JPFan98 Honestly man. Kiss were an absolute joke. They don't deserve to be spoken of in the same breath as truly great musicians.

[Dominator5515]

@JPFan98

kiss sucks

[2caboca]

learn to write correctly and don't put music which is ridiculous in this video!! I write better than being not English speaker

[ZEPPAGE11]

waht thee fuck you sey now, every one hev is openion whos the best, and stop fuck my brain

p.s. sorry for my bad english.

[SGuy90]

[kkingcobra2155]

[Copywonder]

Carlos Santana ???

[sebassz]

steve vai's tender surrender from alien love secrets

[hansenralf]

very very subjective.

where are the monster players Alvin Lee, Rory Gallager, Carlos Santana, Mark Knöpfler and Ritchie Blackmore. Only three of your examples are real top ten !!!!

[crazymarvel]

@hansenralf I guess yours is subjective as well.

[balametawarzone]

@hansenralf u dont think eric clapton is top 10 material...infact the list is very subjective..and its a top 10 list and there are atleast a hundred great guitarists and in my humble opinion this list is ok and subjective...the guitarists u mentioned are monetser players but so are the ones on the list...eric clapton and hendrix are the 2 greatest guitarists ever according to the rollin stones magazine..rhandy rhoads is fuckin amazing..jimmy page..david gilmour..the list is ok bro..chilax

[Gallliam1]

Noel Gallagher is missing :)

i know its not your list, just wanna say :)

[MRhalamadrid9]

if we had to put some robotic solos such as eruption by Van Halen . MAB's no boundaries is way better .. & in my opinion november rain & confortably numb are pure genius

[FirstSplitter]

What The?!?

There Has To Be 2 More Solos : Michael Jackson - Beat It,Metallica - Nothing Else Matters

[rowag001]

not even RR's best solo -.-

[MrHuaboi]

i can't believe u spelt that #3 wrong! were u tired that day or something!

[tonzasso]

ah i forgot:

free bird????

wtf??

[tonzasso]

in my opinion: the first, the second and the third position ARE ALL for David Gilmour

and than comes the other (jimmy first)...

[LouganTjahjono]

What about Glasgow Kiss? Technical Difficulties? Surfing With the Alien?

[jagusf]

The only bad thing... to put Coldplay (at the end)... that sucksss....... ;)

[Kickfaction2]

Mister Crowly <3

[dolkiiz]

Beauty is in the eye of the beholdeR

[skirbyr]

faggot, you created this list, its your fucking video asshole. all of van halens solos beat faggot ass zepplin. eat shit and die. you know jack shit about music.

[sabbathgodsofmetal]

@skirbyr FUUUUUUUUUUUCK YOUUUUUUUUUUU. YOU STUPID WHORE

[nzcodmw3]

Why does everyone think that stairway to heaven is so amazing? it is good i dont think that its the BESt. its just my opinion...

[MaxLeothaud]

1./ Free Bird / Lynyrd Skynyrd

2./ Stairway To Heaven / Led Zeppelin

9./ Blue Sky / The Allman Brothers Band

10./ Highway Star / Deep Purple

[TheRamtin]

@MaxLeothaud Couldnt've said it better myself.

Although I do believe Randy Rhoads deserves some mention. Mr. Crowley is fantastic.

[bun314]

@MaxLeothaud hell yea!!! i <3 november rain, Guns n' Roses

[cardsfanforlife1]

@MaxLeothaud How about the guitar work Rush does in Working man. has to be on the list

[FealSmart]

@MaxLeothaud Free birds only good because its 7 minutes long. Its simple scales that change every 30 seconds over and over and over and over and over, the rest of your list absolutely

I truly don't understand what the hack are u find at Eruption solo by van halen. It's such a robotic solo without any soul. u just can't put it after any solo of Jimi Hen
