No 79. is up with some EVH. So it's not just Gilmore doing those 2.5 step bends!
Learning Guitar World's top 100 solos
No 78 is up with some Grateful Dead. He is right, not much of a solo, but there are some nice pentatoninc licks in there:

No 77 with Alice In Chains. I didn't know this song before, but I quite like it. The solo is good, but not sure if it is Top 100 material in my book.
klaasvakie This guy is good, nailed that one - wah tone was great!
Aaaannd those bends were all spot on... ?
V8 Yeah, the bends were top notch. Especially the "pre-bends", for me those are the toughest since you can't use your ear to guide you, they have to be spot-on the moment you pick the string. Normal pick-then-bends are much easier (for me at least).

+a lot!
I can get to a one step bend fairly accurately (not 2 or more though)...but, I struggle with the timing of bending without playing the note, it always seems VERY weird to me!

No 75. with The Who. I love The Who so much, and I love this song, but this is not a complicated solo. I love the lick at 00:45.
No. 74 With Deep Purple - Man this looks hard.

klaasvakie Enjoyed that, quite bluesy, with a dash of prog? Those bends had me grimacing in sympathy for his fingers, he did nail them - but it must of hurt eventually.
I dig the way he writes the background for the player/song - adds to it to have a bit of a backstory.
V8 Yeah, those 3rd fret bends look owchie

So apparently he learned the wrong Phish solo for No 73, here is 73 again with the correct solo:

Quick, let me sneak this in before everyone dissapears for the weekend ?. No 72 with Aerosmith, these songs are damn catchy.

klaasvakie One of my all time favourites!
Sacrilege...but I dig the Run DMC version, video is rather funny - solo's are a slightly different though. Impossible to beat the original played live - rawkin'!!! ?

Slightly OT, but if you had to pick a top 100 (or even top 20) solos using only tracks from the 2000s onwards, which would be your top choices?

An absolute unit of a solo here at no. 71. I've been waiting for this one to come up --- tough one to nail. Think he did really well.

Not sure about 20, or a 100, but my top pick for a post 2000 solo would be Guthrie Govan's Solo in the Steven Wilson song "Drive Home". Solo starts at 5:05
Man just listened to that album again --- someone has been cutting onions in office --- I'm not crying I promise.
