Transcript

00:08

It takes a whole band to rock, but these solos will make you roll.

00:14

Welcome to Watchmojo.com; and today we're counting down our picks for the Top 10 Guitar Solos.

00:26

For this list, we've limited it to one guitar solo per artist and excluded instrumentals.

00:33

Number ten: Ritchie Blackmore from Deep Purple:

00:36

Highway Star.

00:42

With "Smoke on the Water", the Deep Purple guitarist paved the way for classical music in blues rock

00:47

and brought to life one of the best heavy metal riffs in history.

00:55

But when it comes to solos it's hard to overlook Highway Star.

01:04

Machine Head's fastest track also contains an organ solo by John Ward

01:08

but it's Blackmore's classically inspired guitar piece that's the killing machine.

01:12

It's got everything.

01:26

Number nine: Eric Clapton from Cream: Crossroads.

01:33

As one of the greatest guitarists of all time

01:35

it's no surprise Clapton's got a number of signature solos to his name.

01:43

While he and Duane Allman made history with Layla's signature sound

01:45

It's with Cream's "Crossroads" solo that really nails it.

01:58

In fact, this hard rock arrangement of Robert Johnson's original blues tune is so good

02:03

we think "Slow Hand" may have signed a deal with the devil too.

02:14

Number eight: Don Felder and Joe Walsh from the Eagles: Hotel California.

02:25

After "One of These Nights" set these country and folk influenced rockers

02:28

on pace to live life on the fast lane,

02:30

the Eagles produced another number one with Hotel California.

02:37

That record spawned the smooth and soulful title track

02:39

that classic rock radio stations won't let us forget.

02:53

Aside from its surrealist lyrics, Hotel California showcases some of the most memorable electric guitar chemistry ever

02:59

between Felder and Walsh.

03:12

Number seven: Allen Collins and Gary Rossington from Lynyrd Skynyrd: "Free bird".

03:22

With their remarkable solos and defiant Rock N' Roll swagger,

03:25

Lynyrd Skynyrd became fixtures of the southern rock scene.

03:34

It's because of this cut of pronounced Lynyrd Skynyrd

03:37

that the band first became household names across America.

03:46

Due in no small part to its structure

03:48

half ballad, half up-tempo guitar solo

03:51

Freebird also became their second top 40 hit

03:54

keeping crowds pumped for decades.

04:05

Number seven: Randy Rhoads from Ozzy Osbourne: Mr. Crowley.

04:15

Rhoads exploded into the Heavy Metal universe

04:18

after giving Ozzy Osbourne's music a new lease on life.

04:26

And while Crazy Train of "Blizzard of Oz"

04:28

features one of the genre's most iconic riffs

04:32

its actually that album's second single that captures Rhoads guitar skills best.

04:41

Mr. Crowley contains not 1, not 2; but 3 standout guitar moments

04:46

but the masterpiece's climax is the outro solo.

05:00

Number Five: Brian May from Queen: Bohemian Rhapsody.

05:06

With Freddie Mercury's theatrical vocals and lively stage presence

05:09

and May's virtuoso guitar abilities

05:13

Queen scored big overseas thanks to Bohemian Rhapsody.

05:26

Featuring elements of hard rock, balladry and opera

05:30

its unconventional style initially baffled critics

05:40

but today it's one of the Brit's most popular songs;

05:43

it's in this melodic, chorusless tune

05:45

that May played one of the most incredible act solos ever

05:49

and the song wouldn't be the same without it.

05:58

Number Four: Jimi Hendrix from the Jimi Hendrix Experience:

06:02

All Along the Watchtower.

06:09

Though Little Wing or Voodoo Child could have easily made this list

06:13

it's the Seattle rockers cover of All Along the Watchtower that lands here.

06:24

The Jimi Hendrix Experience gave Bob Dylan's folk rock original

06:27

a psychedelic rock spin

06:31

which included a killer guitar solo that helped Hendrix earn his only Top 20 American hit.

06:39

Even Dylan was inspired; his later performances of the track

06:42

were influenced by Jimmy's version.

06:55

Number three: Slash from Guns N Roses: Sweet Child O' Mine.

07:03

While Slash stood out on a wide array of GNR songs

07:06

from Night Train to November Rain, just to name a few,

07:10

it's Sweet Child O' Mine that really set the stage for the band's later work.

07:19

Though its brilliant riff was conceived as a joke,

07:21

the track's chart-topping success and incredible solo were anything but.

07:28

Its parent album, "Appetite for Destruction",

07:30

also became the best-selling debut in American history.

07:43

Number Two: Jimmy Page from Led Zeppelin, Stairway to Heaven.

07:51

It's quite fashionable to knock and hate Led Zeppelin's radio staple Stairway to Heaven

07:55

but no list of the top guitar solos would be complete without it.

08:03

With Plant's bluesy vocals and Bonham's thunderous based drum

08:06

you've got an unmatched sound, blending blues, hard rock and folk.

08:14

However, it's Page's complex guitar work

08:17

that's truly left an immeasurable and all-acompassing influence on later artists.

08:31

Number One:

08:35

David Gilmour from Pink Floyd: Comfortably Numb.

08:41

Though Shine on You Crazy Diamond is sometimes cited

08:44

it's with The Wall's third single that Pink Floyd ensured fans weren't Comfortably Numb to their music.

08:57

They may have been known for introspective lyrics, studio experimentation,

09:01

and effects-heavy extravagant shows,

09:03

but their sound wouldn't be the same without Gilmour.

09:11

His evocative blues inspired guitar on Comfortably Numb's two solos,

09:14

especially the final one,

09:16

helped solidify the band's popularity and success.

09:27
