No 73. with Phish - this one has a nice vibe to it, didn't know the song at all

    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.

            First Jimi solo at No 70! Such a great song.

              Third honorable mention with another Rush track. Looks hard!

                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 ?

                  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 66. Nice long one to spice up your black Friday ?

                        No solo this week, but there are some tasty riffs:

                          Haven't given this a good listen yet, not close to headphones, but a great song none the less. No 63. Black hole sun.
