- In this video, we focus on the electric guitar solo in it's MAINSTREAM form. The electric guitar was and IS still doing wild stuff across unprecedented amounts of sub-genres. The acoustic guitar has also been doing amazing things for hundreds of years...but...this video focuses on what happened to Electric Guitar in mainstream western music...
Mark Sidney Johnson leads us through the journey of the Electric Guitar Solo. With 28 songs spanning over 50 years, this medley takes a look at the ever evolving roll of the guitar solo in western pop music.
This is the first in CDZA's brand new THE INSTRUMENTALS series.
More to come.
Featuring Tim Crow as "Voice of God"

Really!! Well done
Fact Man=The guy in your friend group that can’t play anything, but ends up stealing the show
I'm mad because the history of the past 80 years summed up in 6 minutes didn't include my favourite artists, and now I'm going to name them all for you.
Parker Hetzel Guys, it's totally subjective, we all have different tastes, they probably just chose it for being so recognisable and iconic. I mean, Guns N' Roses is known and listened to by most teenagers even now.
The unforgiven by Metallica shook the world with the solo. Wasn't even mentioned. Also someone mentioned megadeth and let me tell you one thing. Marty Friedman is by far the best guitar player ever!
Parker Hetzel oh i love the four horsemen! Both of the solos were thrashy as hell!
But i love Marty more.
***** it was the most commercially successful album ever. My sister doesn't even like heavy metal but she considers the black album a hard rock album and she is deathly in love with the unforgiven. My brother in law on the other hand is a huge metalhead.
But not only that, any non metalhead knows what the black album is.
Parker Hetzel blackened from ...and justice for all came out in '88. One of the best guitar solos was in that song. Technical, aesthetic, and fucking down right shreddicilious.
Learn an instruments.. Otherwise you'll be the fact guy!!
You mean the fat guy
The fat fact guy
The fat facts guy
He's not a guy, he's a man.
dat man is a vocalist.... u guys just didnt see his performance yet.. jjaja just my theory
“The solo got pushed out”
Guitarist: playing in bloom
Cobain: theres a solo in that song
even funnier, nothing in this video was in fact a solo
Outstanding work, guys!
Fuck you
I dont mean to be so off topic but does any of you know a method to get back into an Instagram account..?
I stupidly forgot my account password. I would love any tricks you can give me.
@Konnor Zayn instablaster =)
@Royal Sutton thanks so much for your reply. I got to the site thru google and I'm trying it out now.
Takes quite some time so I will get back to you later with my results.
@Royal Sutton It worked and I actually got access to my account again. I'm so happy:D
Thank you so much you really help me out!
No Mention of David Gilmour? He practically created the progressive rock solo, and the time and comfortably numb solos have inspired musicians everywhere
He was a good guitarist but that's not true. Rip David Gilmour
@@Jesse-fd5bv you're full of shit you. David Gilmour is alive and well at 73 and still solo like a champ.
He didn't mention anyone except chuck and mayer so why the exception
@@Jesse-fd5bv He's alive.
pink floyd is overrated
When talking about the reemergence of solos you should have showed John Fruciante's Hendrix-esque solo in "dani California"
The video should be entitled "Histoy of Rock'N'Roll guitar solos". You don't mention any blues or Jazz guitarist, yet they're started playing solos way before rock musicians. Lonnie Johnson was playing solos in 1926.
read the intro "In this video, we focus on the electric guitar solo in it's MAINSTREAM form...."
kha sab yeah jazz wasnt mainstream at all and didnt give guitar a form. No jazz is just something not important. Rock is skillful!!
garububoy shut up
Mayer is a blues guitarrist.
Get a life...
The transition from Bohemian Rhapsody to Layla was phenomenal
It blows my mind that stairway to heaven wasn't on here!
my music teacher, who is teaching us guitar, showed this video to us in class today!
that was a mistake lmao, this video is very inaccurate.
Poor factman
He looks like he has been through hell a thousand times and back
the slowed tempo of John Mayer's "belief" was just beautiful, made me listen to that song, and now its my favourite.
Guitar solos didn't die, they just went underground. They found a new home in METAL \m/
So they died
Big Chillin *they now exist in a superior form of music
GiveAshHerAcogBack Don’t get me wrong I love old metal but the new stuff is not very good
Big Chillin the new stuff by new bands are bad, the new stuff by old bands are good
Metal sucks as a whole.
90's were full of solos : Metallica - Enter Sandman, Radiohead - Just, Nirvana - Smells like teen spirit , Guns 'n Roses - November Rain
Man in The Box had a great solo and so did Jeremy
how about john frusciante and dave navarro from the red hot chili peppers? 3 albums in the 90's full of solo's. i call BS on the 90's being "guitar solo free".
Aryan Agarwala lmaooo 90s Metallica... solos...
While November rain was released in the 90’s it was still really early in the 90’s and it was more of an 80’s solo
Don’t forget about Pearl Jam
We tend to overlook how brilliant the Fact Man is at his craft...truly outstanding performance here!
Expected to see some Metallica or Iron Maiden in the 80s
It's an amazing feeling to learn and play an instrument !!! It's not amazing to destroy an instrument ,doesn't matter how expensive is or not !!!!!!!!!! Many children really need an instrument and they don't have the money to have it !!!!! Don't share this kind of attitude, just share your amazing music videos !!!!! Regards !!!!
When the 70s arrived, it sent a shiver down my spine.
After that, my body was aching all the time.
Fact man is my spirit animal
David Gilmour? Steve Vai? John Frusciante? Eric Johnson? Dime? These guys are pinnacle players (imo) when it comes to guitar, especially solos
They didn't mention John Petrucci so I am just gonna forgive not mentioning others.
Great video but you practically missed the whole metal scene during the 90s with bands like Pantera
Iron Maiden, Metallica, Judas Priest, Megadeth just to mention the biggest.
Fredrik Johansson i guess they meant mainstream music, look at the description
Yes, but still. Dimebag was an extremely big influence for alot of genres in the 90's.
In Bloom actually has one of Cobain’s best solos though
he can't play that well
Now that's why I love the guitar.. Happy or sad and even problems make come your way but your guitar won't leave you. It will be your best buddy..
Thanks for helping me remember which songs I've forgotten and need to fill in my song library.
in bloom has a guitar solo though
And a fucking great one at that! One of Kurt's most creative and original solos.
Yeah almost all of nirvana's popular songs had solos
And what a meta solo it was...
How did he forget free bird!? That guitar solo was epic!
FREE BIRD
No. No it wasn't. It's POPULAR, but in terms of technique, it can't compare to most of what this guy is demonstrating in the overall history of popular Rock and Roll. The Free Bird solo is literally wanging around on the same 3 chords over and over again.
@@ajb695 he didn't say hard tho
@@ajb695 It might not compare to the best of the best, but it shits on most everything presented in this video. Anybody who says Sweet Child O Mine is the apex in rock and roll in ANY capacity deserves to be sacked.
I come to this channel once in a while.. it still awe me and makes me happy.. for dunno what reason.. thanks
Thank you CDZA! All Instrumentals videos are great. It deserves millions of 'likes', because music is one of the best things in existence.
as much as i know that was a cheap guitar, i cringe when i see an instrument like that destroyed :(
ROCK N' ROLL MAN!!
tabletop tcg
Rock and Roll not equals destruction.
***** Thank you Captain Buzzkill...
He didn't break it. The neck is a bolt on and they unscrewed the bolts. they could put it back together with a screw driver
I don't lol
didn't even mention freebird. i know a lot of people don't like lynyrd skynyrd but that song was basically a giant guitar solo and deserved to be mentioned.
As much as I hate 'Freebird' (and, yes, Skynyrd), you're right. It's odd that it wasn't mentioned.
CRIMINALLY UNDER-VIEWED VIDEO!! Actually the whole Chanel is such a sleeper chanel…. It’s really really amazing that not only does he play all the way through this awesome compilation, buuutttt the band flawlessly backs him up the entire way.
This video is amazing, and EXACTLY what I was looking for! Thank you, CDZA!
Love that "Voodoo Chile"
Rest in peace, Randy Rhodes, a man who died in a crazy way way too early
2021, still remember this video..., and watch again, god damn..
I love this video so much! Really cool idea with the fact man on the side to feature your narrative! Much respect to all the musicians on a awesome performance! Just so cool.
I love the face of "Fact Man" :-)
Voodoo chile !
You had one job
+Sean Duffy Voodoo Chile. Not to be confused with Voodoo Venezuela.
Voodoo chile is basically a longer version of voodoo child
Jose Tomas Noriega isn't it the other way around actually? Like voodoo child being a shorter version of voodoo chile
Roro eh you are probably right
"All you had to do was play the damn song, CJ!"
We could all nitpick. I'm shocked, you didn't mention EVH, until after Randy, and gave Randy props for the tapping. And Beat It? Seriously? Eruption by itself, was all instrumental, and set the rock world, upside down. That was '78.
Still, a great video, with a good amount of thought. I shared it!
Amazing stuff! Really enjoyed it.
By 3:14 you've already passed Jimi Hendrix, Jimmy Page, and Randy Rhodes, don't tell me about highest level of awesomeness.
uhm pink FLOYD?????????
Seriously you guys are amazing keep up these informative videos please!
Great ending... Loved it...
why cant playing be as easy as this guy makes it looks
Go Hawks That's the magic about music...
He's been practicing so long, to him, it is easy.
it is
Because then everyone would do it
found the fact man
Last Resort was in 2000 guys..
absolutely loved the selection of the songs. very good.
Amazing video, thanks for all your hard work!
You forgot to light the guitar on fire at the ending of the video!
I LOVE YOU FACT MAN 😘
you guys are proof that the internet doesn't care about quality.... this video should have several million views and your channel several million subscribers. Keep it up.
This just reached epic levels of awesomeness.
Nobody put guitar solos on the map in the 50s. They were 'on the map' since the late 20s. Never heard of Carl Kress, Dick McDonough, Django Reinhardt, Charlie Christian?
vecernicek2 I Donough who you're talking about.
vecernicek2 No. No one has because we’re not all as cool as you obviously are.
Reinhardt invented gypsy jazz guitar, you should look him up.
Correct, I haven't heard of any of those people.
vecernicek2 no fuck you
Great video guys. But I still miss some Frusciante :D #guitarisawesome
Loved this!!!!!
the guitar solo in "in bloom" is one of my favourite solos of all time. i'm getting goosebumps just thinking about it.
And i realized why Slash is so aweseome, he grew with solo guitar.
This is definetly incomplete without either Steve Vai or Joe Satriani.
you guys crack me up, so so much XD, I love all your videos.
The part where you introduced Hendrix.....EPIC!!!!
I was expecting to see some frusciante in there
What about Progressive Metal?
It was too tough for the guitarist
I love this new series
When he played that solo from Paranoid Android it actually blew my mind. It was like I was hearing it again for the first time. Fantastic video!
What happened with punk and new wave guitar? Or virtuosos like Robert Fripp, Frank Zappa and Adrian Belew?
This really glossed over how instumental rock guitar that more or less started by jeff beck evolved into the massive powers in the nineties of Vai, Satriani, Gilbert, etc. Not to mention the progressive, and jazz fusion eras. Improvised solos also date way before berry with legends like reinhardt
Instrumental rock guitar was popularized by Dick Dale over a decade earlier than Beck.
People overlook _SURF_ all the time.
It was absolutely crucial to the history of the Stratocaster . It was an ideal music (then) to show off and improve Fender amplification - from which virtually all Marshalls and Boogies are directly descended.
Dale told Leo Fender what he needed to improve, and Leo listened... and worked.
Van Halen's 70s sound was essentially doing a mutated Dick Dale setup of floating bridge but with a humbucker next to it + 'cascading' gain-to-power stages under Variac + stompboxes.
funny thing is, that in fact "in bloom" which is used as an example of pushing out the solos has one of my favorite solos ever in it!
Love the fact that they included Jonny 💗
Journey of HAMMOND ORGAN.!!!!
Where is Pink Floyd and SRV?
Respect to the instrumentals! really interesting and to the point
I love how this is played on the most aesthetically pleasing model of guitar
YES! Queens of the Stone Age!
Good, but hailing John Mayer as the champion of solos and the 90's didn't have any?? I hate to be "that guy" but Trey Anastasio was ripping solos the first time Mayer walked through his high school doors. TA is a really great and highly influential guitar player blatantly over looked here. Sorry, but I had to say it... But I like your videos! Really cool ideas, keep it up!
Damn right, Trey has influenced an entire Genre of music, and guitarists.
My guess is they are more referring to mainstream stuff...i mean guitar solos never disappeared, just got used less in certain eras.
John Mayer is one of the only few mainstream artists today whose songs are guitar dominated and contain solos
plus he's pretty talented too
it's why he was mentioned
The mix sounds amazing!
4:06 I love that transition to Paranoid Android Solo
5:45 Why would you do that to a Guitar? :(
What about John Frusciante ?!
Your guitar playing is amazing. AMAZING.
you guys are awesome - love the vids
And Iron Maiden?
Missing some incredible solos, but otherwise fantastic.
Can't help but saying 'hell, yeah' while I listen to this.
Stellar playing! It's a nice surprise to see Allan Mednard on drums. Love his work with Postmodern Jukebox and he's a cool guy in person too
You missed David Gilmour Comfortably Numb Pink Floyd. Having said that, it's still true if you want to get the party started, put on the best, play Chuck Berry killing Johnny B. Good !!! There may be better, but not on *_this_* Planet
lol so much fun that the fact guy wants to kill something. i'm sure of it.
I swear I have watched this video atleast 20 times lookingn for new songs to play.
That was very informative! Thanks!
Uhhhhhh why wasn't John Frusciante from the Red Hot Chili Peppers on there??? He should be the king of solos!
petrucci? govan? gilbert?
kirk and james? dimebag? friedman?
pierre ibrahim
Kirk and James sucks.
Sam Pierce
Agree
Pierre Ibrahim this is talking about popular music and as much as I’d like to see Petrucci on there, most people don’t know who that is or recognize DT songs
The guy couldn't play them.
Extremely brilliant, the guitar will always have it's magical touch in any song.
Respect your instrument fuckkin guitarists! Sincerely Bassist.
Ummm the 90's had some great solos. Were you sleeping through that decade? Lenny Kravitz, Candelbox, Alice in Chains, Collective Soul, Smashing Pumpkins, Weezer, Oasis etc... All better than the majority of 00's stuff. SMH
I agree, and I'd like to add Pantera as a perfect example of a mainstream (take a look at the billboard position of "Far Beyond Driven") metal band with great guitar solos!
Mike Rozell WHAT ABOUT SRV?????
Thunderstruck
omg why did you destroy that guitar.. you could have given it to some kid.
+Simba Lion Coulda been fed to the kids in Africa
+Raijin Thundersoul with all due respect, I completely disagree.
It's a proven fact now, tele>strat
It’s a bolt on neck, the fixed it with a screw driver
It was a cheap guitar anyways
5:21 I thank this video for introducing me to John Mayer, man that solo left a huge impression on me, so good
This is awesome!
No Ace Frehley? No Synester Gates? No John Petrucci? No David Gilmour? And the only Eddie Van Halen on the list is his work with Michael Jackson. Great vid, but I think a lot got left out.
All of those guys got covered by what the fact man was saying. The guitarist can't play everyone's songs you want him to.
Lulz, Avenged Sevenfold? Get that weak shit out of here.
Because Syn isn't one of the best guitarists alive.
jakob arnold e
Ace frehley sucks ass
Completely left out the rise of djent and prog in the 2010’s. Meshuggah, Plini, AAL, Intervals, etc
i'm guessing they focused on the noteworthy part of guitarhistory
You guys are Seriously Cool............... Thank you!.......and GREAT Tones Too!....Wow All with a Tele?....Holy Moly
the intro music gets me every time
