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.
Learning Guitar World's top 100 solos
joeymakesmusic 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?
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.

No 69. Beatles. Didn't know this song before now. The one-guitar version looks mighty tricky.
klaasvakie He nailed the 12-string esque tone for both parts - easy to imagine people thinking that was a 12 string or some studio trickery back in the day?
If anyone ever wondered what a bridge pup on a strat sounds like...there ya go - solid icepick to the temple ?
V8 easy to imagine people thinking that was a 12 string or some studio trickery back in the day?
Yeah, I think I would've just assumed two guitar players ? But as he says, two guitar players weren't really a thing back then.
No 68. New to me, not sure if it fits in 100 greatest solos of all time, but maybe it will grow on me.

No 67, with EVH. Great solo, and a great shot at playing it IMO.

No 60 with some Zappa. Will give it a listen with headphones tomorrow:
Fourth honorable mention is up with "my sharona". Didn't expect this one:
klaasvakie Really enjoyed that one! I reckon so did he, that pick flick at the end had me chuckling ? He really cranked up the gain and shredded out on that one, I could hear the 'amp' squealing away in the background...Moar gain!

No 59. The Kinks. Haven't given it a listen yet, will dig out some earphones later.
