But yeah, I love the blues scale and the diatonic scale too, and the chromatic is a piece of work too just a little harder to deal with. Your comment is spot on it's mostly Em pentatonic on the Free Bird solo.

      Other amazing solos: hotel california, the trooper, hallowed be thy name, master of puppets (starting with the slow harmonized part), another brick in the wall and if you include short but emotional solos, "I could have lied" by is perhaps the most emotional solo I've ever heard despite it being so short, it definitely is a strong part of that album and an honest flush of emotions for John Frusciante

    The vibrant melodies of the 1980s continue to echo through time, painting a vivid portrait of an era where music thrived, and iconic figures emerged as beacons of creativity and innovation.
    Eddie Van Halen, a virtuoso of the guitar, didn't just strum strings; he orchestrated a symphony of rock melodies that ignited passion and energy. His pioneering "tapping" technique wasn't merely a skill; it was a seismic shift in the realm of guitar playing, a revolution that resonates through the corridors of rock history.
    Prince, the enigmatic maestro, defied musical norms, blending genres to craft a sonic universe that transcended boundaries. His songs weren't just compositions; they were anthems of freedom, calling out to a generation hungry for musical exploration and expression.
    David Bowie, the ever-evolving artistic luminary, didn't just change personas; he embodied artistic liberation. Each character he created wasn’t just a costume; it was a testament to his boundless creativity and his ability to redefine the very essence of artistic expression.
    George Michael, with his soulful voice and emotionally resonant lyrics, crafted melodies that served as a heartbeat for an entire era. His tunes weren't just melodies; they were emotional journeys, capturing the essence of love, heartache, and the human experience.
    Elton John, the piano virtuoso, didn’t just play keys; he painted emotional landscapes with every chord. His ballads weren't just songs; they were emotive journeys, weaving tales of love, loss, and resilience that resonated with audiences across generations.
    Tina Turner's electrifying stage presence wasn't just a performance; it was an anthem of empowerment and strength. Her music wasn't just sound; it was a rallying cry, inspiring listeners to embrace their inner power and resilience.
    Lionel Richie, the balladeer extraordinaire, crafted tunes that echoed universal emotions. His melodies weren't just compositions; they were emotional soundscapes, capturing the essence of human connections and heartfelt emotions.
    These '80s icons weren’t just musical luminaries; they were pioneers who sculpted a sonic landscape that transcended time. Their influence isn't merely confined to the past; it reverberates through the present, guiding and inspiring artists in their quest for musical excellence and emotional resonance.
    Their impact extended beyond their melodies, shaping fashion, culture, and societal norms. Prince's flamboyant style challenged gender norms, while David Bowie's shape-shifting personas sparked conversations about identity and self-expression. These artists weren’t just musicians; they were cultural catalysts, trailblazing paths that inspired generations beyond their time.
    The '80s, a decade infused with exuberance and innovation, birthed an era of music that didn't just entertain but also moved souls. Each chord struck a chord within the hearts of listeners, resonating with emotions and experiences that formed the very fabric of their lives.
    Their influence spanned genres, transcending the limitations of labels. Prince’s fusion of funk and rock, David Bowie’s genre-defying experimentation, and George Michael’s heartfelt ballads-all contributed to a musical landscape rich in diversity and depth.
    As the '80s icons graced stages and airwaves, their performances weren't just concerts; they were experiences-an emotional journey through sonic landscapes that left an indelible imprint on the memories of those fortunate enough to witness them.
    Their legacy endures not just in the music but in the emotions evoked by their melodies. The longing for an era where music wasn’t just an auditory experience but a profound emotional journey remains palpable. These icons, with their artistry and innovation, etched themselves into the annals of music history, leaving a timeless legacy that continues to inspire and resonate with music lovers across generations.

    Thanks a lot for posting this!
    It's not easy to choose the best of the best, guys!
    All solos are very powerful and sincere...
    I'm a girl, but I learn to do it!
    I like Rik Emmett from TRIUMPH!!! He is versatile guitar player, fantastic vocalist, great songwriter and most importantly, appears to be a kind human.
    My way to follow from tenderness to passion...
    I absolutely like his playing the double neck electric guitar...
    My greatest rock music influence who even forced me to pick up my own electric guitar to resonate with him!
    Good luck! Lots of love to Russia!

    Comfortably Numb isn't the hardest solo (only hard on the skin on your fingers, those bends, woof), but it is the most perfect solo. It is absolutely everything it needs to be with nothing more or less. Pure emotion and chills for the entire solo.

      Comfortably Numb, Stairway to Heaven and Sultans of Swing are in my opinions the three greatest guitar solos of all-time (I'd put them in that order or maybe swap Sultans and Stairway because come on, it's COMFORTABLY NUMB). So sad Sultans of Swing wasn't mentioned.
      This being said, and while I'm not a big Guns N' Roses fan, the solos in November Rain and especially in Sweet Child O'Mine are absolutely wonderful.

But that's the thing with lists like this, I would have liked to see Townsend on here (the intro to Eminence Front comes to mind), and there are so many others that could be added... but it's not like the solos on here aren't worthy right? The rest is down to taste, so I don't see where you're coming from.

    Clapton's two solos on Crossroads on "Wheels of Fire" are a milestone for me. There may have been great electric guitar solos done before then. But this relatively short song recorded live introduced the style to which all later rock guitarists owe a debt. Searing tone, crystal-clear notes, speed where necessary and proof that a solo doesn't have to be long to be memorable. Sitting On Top of the World" from "Goodbye" is an equally-good studio recorded song that proves the same thing.

    Blessed to be a Bay Area high school sophomore at the beginning of the Haight Ashbury/S.F. music scene. Saw a show virtually every week between 1965 and 1970. Have seen all of these bands multiple times in their Hayday. I doubted we would agree. I am pleasantly surprised and shocked that 7 of your picks would have been on my list. (though I prefer Jimmy Page's solo on Since I've Been Loving You). My three substitutes would have been: one of many choices from Pete Townsend, Steely Dan, and Duane Allman. (Maybe Frampton). Overall, a commendable, thoughtful list from a long-term rocker who is still current.

    WatchMojo, what the hell do you guys have against ACDC? Angus Young definitely deserves to be on this list. I agree with most of your choices, but Angus Young has played solos that I would argue would put him around number 5.

      I don't agree, Angus, for sure has the gift of never being "aside" what he does, everything is perfectly placed and timed... but coming to soloing... he sure has no flaw, but to be honest, I just can't think about an AC/DC solo I consider memorable, the strenght of AC/DC is the overall balance and energy of all elements, but, I'm into Metal/Hard Rock since my childhood, moslty because I like cool soloing, and when it comes to solos, AC/DC isn't a band that comes to my mind... while I wouldn't have to think more than 20 seconds to think about dozens of solos from Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, Pink Floyd, Queen, ManOwaR, Mercyful Fate and many more...

      Angus has the mighty Paul Kossoff vibrato but still has his own voice. I am not a giant fan of the band, but they are fun, and Angus really is a strong player.

    I knew David Gilmore had to be in there, but wasn't expecting him to be number one. Just listening to his work is inspiring for me. Having Brian May in the list is a given, He's in pretty every list I've listened too, and there's been quite a few, He's an amazing guitarist. Yeah I'm a huge Pink Floyd & Queen fan, But I do like a good guitar solo.
