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
