Solid proof that any song can be improved with a guitar solo
Sorry, Hotline Bling still needs a devil pact to even put it on the musical spectrum of vomit.
Treggy The One signed by the dooo
infinite is here I don’t know, any eminem song would sound fucking epic with a guitar solo.
Yes
@@terribleflavor check out emo rap then
Petition to make electric guitar solos popular again, like to sign.
It is popular lol
I think he meant electric guitar solos
Since when is it not
You sound like a pop fan who has just discovered guitar... it is popular.
Trixnglz it’s not used in mainstream nearly at all in this day and age. how many bands or even just guitar players have u seen on the top 200. i would say guitar samples don’t count
old town road needed a guitar solo
Old Town Road is country hip hop tho, I think the song is ok as it is
Mismo
Jasta Gai yeah that solo should have had something closer to a more traditional country tone than what it was
davie improv'd a bass solo on it
@@johnmarkpangilinan4258 lol yeah
It really works with the Bruno Mars songs, because they sound like they’re from back in the late 80s when guitar solos weren’t so irregular in pop music
agreed
Yass
Ikr
And also because they’ve got WAY nicer chord progressions.
JazzMan251
True, cos he knows his theory well. His music is very inspired by old school funk, soul, R&B etc. These songs had amazing chord progressions and were made to have solos and real instruments played with them
Why is no one talking about the fact he made a literal horse nay during the old town road solo 🤣🤣
You are.
It's cool but Steve Vai did it over a decade ago.
You've obviously never seen sleigh bells
@@KeithTerryMusic yes the song is even called bad horsey isn't it?
@@KeithTerryMusic Eddie van Halen did it first
Why isn‘t anybody talking about his guitar skills? He‘s like out of this world and deserves so much more subs
Because. .needs more BASS
@@sbgcofficial6785 lmao
Yeah he's out of control good. That's what lifetime dedication gets you.
I dont always think more skill = better music. Hes super talented but i think the first 3 solos were too much for me. Playing fast didnt really add to the song in my opinion. His solos in the post malone and ed sheeran song worked for me though!
Yeh that’s some pretty clean economic depth picking;
The only thing people really notice 🙄😛😂
"Instead of practicing, I watch guitarists and doubt my talents"
Yeah ):
This is so relatable.
Ok the hell same shit here xD

niceeee 😊
The Post Malone and Drake songs would have been better as a straight up instrumentals
Officially want to learn to play guitar now
Post Malone would be into this I'm 100% sure.
Have a listen to Take What You Want with Ozzy if you haven't already, Andrew Watt (Post's producer in many of his songs) does an absolute ripper guitar solo at the end!
I thought about the same exact thing. I even imagine that Post should let him perform in a live concert.
Yea I liked his nirvana show lol.., def want to see more of that.
@@medhatabdalla6255 Post can play guitar really well too, he started on UA-cam doing acoustic covers to bands like Green Day and Sublime
No you don't
I don't want to hear these songs anymore, unless there're your solos in them
I didn't want to hear them to begin with, UNTIL he played those STEAMIN' solos over them. 😄
Same.
Bruno Mars still good tho
This man just turned his guitar into a damn horse.
Listen to bad horsie by Steve Vai
Knights of cydonia by muse did as well.
Dragonforce turned into an elephant! XD

Hey guys, random question for knowledge purposes.
Do you know by any chance what kind of scales is he using to jam?
thank u
Thank tou. I Just wanted to know the names of some songs.
People like you are why I stay on youtube
Bruno can totally pull off the guitar solos for his songs.
Or, hammer them on...
Yea... No he cannot
I have to disagree on that.
@@infamoussydney1697 why
Uzair Iqbal heh
I dont understand why this is not a thing. Like, it makes everything better. Heck, I just found myself liking Old Town Road.
you cant really dance or sing a solo so basic people dont like em :/
man, same!
Pop used to have guitar solos. Producers nowadays only want whatever sells the song,and guitar solos don't do that anymore
@@AmilcarPenya1703 wait, you CAN'T? AND WTF HAVE I BEEN DOING WITH MY FRIENDS ALL THIS TIME?
I assure you I can sing every note of stairway to heaven. Hell I can twerk to ac/dc if you dare me
You need to make sure the solo matches the character of the song, and doesn't make it last longer than it should or people will stop listening mid-way.
Holy shit this guy makes me feel like I can only play smoke on the water
You can
Practice for yrs like the rest of us. Take lessons if possible. If not there’s a ton of stuff online. It takes a lot of time and dedication.
@@kcussrebutuemos4815 i know brother it was a joke, I’ve been in it for years also haha
I can't even play that right... Yes, my skills are that fucked up.
@@onerandombruh practice makes you pro, you will one day
damn that is one of the most clean sounding solos i've ever heard
*these are eleven of the most clean sounding solos we've all ever heard
Mr Sunbeam agree
i never thought Shape Of You ever needed a guitar solo
i was so wrong
@@snottyboy9983 ah yes, the douche.
thing is I’m sure Ed could have given one a go if he’d wanted
What remix is the post malone song
He made Ed seem like a disgrace for not adding a solo in that song.
Damn straight
For real
Yup!
Ed doesn’t like that song much tho lol
Man missed his chance 💀
These are FANTASTIC! Love how each solo compliments each song as opposed to simply improvising the notes.
Plot twist: Tlot Pwist
Hey ink tank!
That is what happens when you dont improvise a solo and you're good 😂 but for real he did a great job. I hate every single one of these songs, but the solos were Brilliantly done
Especially the havana one. Very deep purple-y
Umm... Good improvising does also compliment a song
Damn..
My Fingers: Don't even think about it.
Lmao
just died
ㅋ
Exactly like "I can do this" but then you give up
This is gold 😂
It's impressive how pure your way of playing seems. Like effortless.
I dont think these are live takes
@@jakeydeefpv Shh, let the boy dream.
@@jakeydeefpv Most of these internet players mime bro, trust me. He is clearly an awesome player, but all of the songs sounded the same. Unless R&B is now pop, they could of all almost been the same song. Like I said, good player though, and a cool idea for a video.!
@@davep2323 oh i know, I was only being coy to avoid sounding condescending.
Hours of practice my friend, HOURS.
As soon as the "Havana" song started I was thinking. "A Carlos Santana solo would work here" and apparently I wasn't alone in that idea.
I was thinking “This is so Santana and it works so well.”
Same
I was having flashbacks to kfir’s video
Yea me too lol
Amen to that lol!
This made Havana sound like a straight up Santana song...All amazing solos though, I love how you incorporated the melody in all of them
lmfao
I remember watching a music video of Havana mashed up with Santana's Smooth and it was perfect XD
If Pop songs had solos like this - I would listen to a lot more pop. No doubt about it.
Luke what’s the name of the album???? I’m a 70s lover so I’ll check it out!
For sure, and I don't listen pop at all, bring solos back!
@@Lucknow472 24k magic!
@@joandrumz3176 x2, I discover recently some guy who make some pop arrangements with solos (piano, synth, guitar, voice) and cool reharms, must check it out. Is called OnXpected Project.

*Carlos Santana’s entire career:* “Am I a joke to you?”
Doobeedoo doo dooooooooooooo

Man it's a hot one...like seven inches from the midday sun.
Then the karaoke singer could take a little more rest while performing a song number.
Hey 😠
@@carlosgarcia4129 lol hey there, u ok
High level comment, sir. Quite literally laughed out loud.
are we not gonna talk about how the horse part was mad underrated?
Listen to Bad Horsie by Steve Vai, similar effect
I thought no one heard this!!crazy
That was rad
That's pretty common man...watch Eddie van halen, hendrix, steve vai
@@noorerishan7910 especially Vai
That Havana solo! Absolutely killer!
As a guitarist I enjoyed this but it’s way too shreddy to be what these song would really have as solos
I agree, something more RHCP-like would probably fit better for most of them.
@fjf sjdnx That's because you like 20s song too much
It needed more "feel". Regardless tho, it's pretty good.
Yeah, too much notes. Almost all the solos were way out of mood and sound.
@@lmarinello11 @animated
Since y'all wanna talk about note reduction, and "feel":
ua-cam.com/video/gJESqTaAuRM/v-deo.html
In all seriousness though, I do agree. After the first one or two, it was just "guitarist flexes his sweeps for 5:43".
Why tf no one is talking about the Havana solo, so smooooth
By far the best one! Gave me chills 👌
Facts! That one was straight fire 🔥
Amen
Legit smooth
Thought that was Santana for a second haha
those guitar solos were so clean that it kills the remaining 0.01% germ
To be honest for the first two songs you basically did some jazz fusion, the songs were already funky and you implemented a jazzy funk solo.
The magic of jazz fusion.
just look at the chords of the songs and you'll guess why he did
@@paoloiavarone you’re right, kind of obvious. But you still need to have the improvisation skills to pull it off
Has destacado lo menos relevante de todo.
Miss the days when guitar solos were Kings.
ikr!! guitar soloes were the best!! i mean they are best nowadays too but back in the days!
Try to listen to the song “mundo” by iv of spades theres a fire guitar solo ...thanks me later
@@thelastsamuraiii8793 yesyes
T-They still do guitar solos my dude... you just need to look up for them and dig deeper and you'll get what you're looking for.
Hi guys. Do you want to hear some hard rock solos?

I am honestly amazed how fitting the solo was to the Old Town Road o.O
But it kinda has a country vibe so not really surprised
This guy looks like Drake if he became a pro guitarist.
Loool same
What if it was drake with a bunch of wigs
Joking lolol
That's literally what I was just thinking Lol
he should snip only the very distinct parts, the more creative parts.
1:56...finally this song can be called "rockstar"
When people tell you not to play scales on your solos,.. this dude shuts them up.
Who made that blasphemous comment in the first place? Not play scales? May aswell say not to play guitar then!
@@Gofex1337 he said on your solos, not just running scales for a solo instead of actually making melodies. Scales are very important obviously
Just listen to Iron Maiden, full of pentatonics solos.
It's as if you've finished off a bunch of songs that were left half completed.
My thoughts exactly, this is insane 🤯
That's cos he did
but are there full covers of these songs?
Now if you can only do this with Metallica Saint anger.
Guitar solos need to make a comeback in pop culture. There are so many god level guitarists out there these days.
Jam Xandre
They will, fashion happens. Think about it, Amy wine house smashed hits everywhere with bluesy jazz in the times of madonna😂
My man Herman Li is god of all guitarists
All kind of solos, guitar, organ, piano, synth, bass... like onxpected project's pop arrangements, is like an effort to make a "solos comeback" in mainstream pop music.

@@macias7125 lol
Auto-tune would be useful if you have a guitar that plays the 12th fret out of tune 😄
Wtf is going on with that clean tone?
It's just too good, wow
Impressive
It's in his fingers mostly :))
Glad someone said it. I was also in awe at that clean tone. Sounds soo good
Aldo Sá i think he’s using the neck humbucker on most of these. That contributes to how round the tone is. He’s probably turning down the tone knob too. Other than that, he’s playing extremely cleanly.
If pop songs had guitar solos they would just be...
j o h n m a y e r s o n g s
Exactly my first thought when I saw the title.
The problem is John Mayer is actually a good writer
Why is this so real lmao
Or Michael Jackson's
Songs pre 2010 or thereabouts
This inspired and discouraged me at the same time.
Yeah.....exactly how I feel....
Basically yeah
Guitarists, don't give up. Start small. We WANT to hear you express yourself! (It's called ART.)
Nathan Maker a joke.
@@destinyn4910 Yes, I am a very funny guy. Thanks.
I don't see anybody appreciating that immaculate tone. *chef's kiss*
It's great how each solo did not stray away from the style of the song but instead complemented them. That's skill. Respect.
The Post Malone one definitely strayed away from the style of the song. It would sound unbelievably awkward if you actually listened to the full song with the solo in, it literally switched to rock the moment the beat dropped. Not saying he’s bad at guitar lol, he’s skillful but he needs to slow down a little bit
@@YungCarl10 but that is kind of post malones style, I can guarantee the man himself would have been digging this
This proves that we need more rock and songs would be much better with solos.
YES. This.
ua-cam.com/video/LYa_ReqRlcs/v-deo.html (prove)
1:43 when you made the guitar sound like a horse was so badass!
Highly suggest you listen to bad horsie by Steve Vai
@@Plepsfoko I was gonna say the good ole Steve Vai trick lol
You should check out Mongolian band the Hu - yuve yuve yu, they make their morin khuur sound like a horse!
@@Plepsfoko Actually Dimebag
A bit over saturated with constant runs for me. Dudes got mad skills. But maybe simplify the solos a little more. Less is more kind of thing. Otherwise you can lose some “feel” in my humble opinion.
Yep, especially during his drake solo. That 2nd lick is a little too shreddy and doesn't quite fit with the tempo of the song.
If you want it to be "catchier" to musically illiterate people (95% of world population), yeah probably
@@simonedatola3353 They're not "musically illiterate". They're humans and it's human nature to like instrumental interludes within songs which are short and sweet. Roy was just shredding in every song and that killed the feel of the songs.
Ikr man....Too many notes
Drake and the other trap guy(forgot his name I don't listen to that bs) were the ones with weird runs. The rest were improved pop songs
Half the songs: too shreddy
Other half: best thing to ever happen
Verdict: WHY ISNT THIS A THING
This entire video explained in 3 lines.
too... shreddy? wut
@@Draztikus maybe a bit too much notes and too much speed for a chill song, like overkill
Defs agree. Some of the best guitar solos out there are from the Eagles and Mark Knophler.
Most accurate comment I've seen, well done sir
This guy has real talent, imagine it it were the 90s still, he’d be signed and a big name.
There are numerous artists that sound like this and are big, just “underground” famous because no one gives a shit about complex music. :(
You mean the 80s, 90s are what killed the solo
Talent is only 50% of the recipe. You also need to have a story, own a style, own a voice, own a strong identity and market all of this as a good solid brand. Bob Dylan or the Beatles were very much less talented at their instruments than him but they had very, very unique voices and colors. His soloing could be interchanged with another and no one would notice.
@@10HW They were also amazing songwriters
If pop songs had guitar solos, they would sound like a Michael Jackson song.
oh yea u right
And that's why MJ is pop king
MJ loved rock music, mans wanted the guitar in any song possible
More like john mayer
All of this just sounds too 90s early 2000s and I’m happy we just stopped forcing guitars in every single song.
Now we have rap verses. 😂
(Nothing against rap)
This is sick. A lot of great guitarists won’t touch pop because it’s “beneath them” and stick to blues, rock and/or jazz. Cool that you’re open minded. It’s like my favorite guitarist, John Mayer. He’s collaborated with a lot of pop artists, even hip hop artists like Jay-Z and Common.
Samee
Im waiting for when he is gonna get featured in a song by like a famous artist
6ix9ine need him
Bruno is a guitar guy he might do it
Considering how insanely talented he is, it's never gonna happen
1:44 the horse thingy was just lit👊🏾
Listen to bad horsie by steve vai if you liked that part and see how legends do it.
3:54 *Carlos Santana intensifies*
For real tho that song would have been amazing if she got Santana on it
@@santiagomeza9573 lmao go listen to smooth by santana

Uses the same chord progression as smooth lol
@@joemooney5518 yeah lol
Normal pop artists don’t try this because they don’t want to go out of business because of John Mayer

Edit the video title Sir - ‘ POP songs must have a guitar solos’
Yah that should be the tittle
idk if he changed it since but it currently says ‘What if pop songs had guitar solos?’
@Anonymous X i don't think so sr
I love how you catch the essence of every music and not just shred
THAT TREMOLO HORSE NOISE ON OLD TOWN ROAD THOUGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Actually even when a pop song has a little bit of electric guitar in the background it just makes everything better
„what if rap songs had guitar solos“ think that one would be sick
U Got it Bad has an awesome guitar solo. Though I don’t thing it’s gonna qualify as a rap song. You should check it out tho. It’s by Usher.
You’d be the beasty boys lol
But I get your point
Jesse Collins yeah dude beastie boys were great, I wish more people would still make hip-hop like they did
Pursuit of happiness by Kid Cudi
5:30 aha! Got 'em with that sneaky lick
The Fucking Licc.
This video is so underrated. This dude literally stepped pop culture up.
The horse part of Old Town Road was underrated!!
Sounds like Vai...
3:52 damn that Havana solo was incredible - sounds so much like Santana to me
It kinda sounds something from Spain.
That was pure Santana lol.
Lol, I went straight to the comments to see if I wasn't the only one
The chord progression of this song is what Santana made his name on
His choice of tone or whatever for each song is dope
Who needs a whammy when you can just pull the FRICKIN bridge by hand
you can also just press the strings between the nut and tuners even without a floating bridge
No kidding 🤔
I think I saw slash doing that with an acoustic with a miles Kennedy performing
That's what I do too I lost mine years ago and I just been improvising LOL
Damn
Every popstar should just hire you for every song.

All the solos would sound the same. You’d get sick of it real fast.

Omg yasss
@@julianeska7445 it will. Just wait
and trending too!
Nope
The idea is good, but the solos are somewhat bland to my ears
The Rockstar solo makes sense considering Post Malone was originally in a metalcore band. And that Shape Of You solo’s nice too.
I think post malone is a big metal fan, considering he collaborated with Ozzy Osbourne, plays some guitar solos, and has Dimebag tattood on his finger
@@jarovanduren5641 ua-cam.com/video/f7eaGcIyhPU/v-deo.html
Jaro van Duren he stuck to the wrong genre. I think he only went with rap bc it’s what’s popular rn
This video is gonna a blow up... wait for it
Still waiting
this video didn't blow up simply for the fact that no solos have any memorable parts, although the note choice and technique is really cool, nothing sticks with you.
MoraesMusician No it‘s because he played so many solos. They are all well shaped around the main melodys of the Song. If you can‘t differentiate this from random fast doodeling you should train you ear. This guy is fucking balling
@@Jp-ps8fr He is amazing, however Moraes was right with SOME of the solo's. You were right with most of them, especially the Old time road one and the Havana solo.
Yea it's gettin there now
Bro! That Old Town Road solo was sick! 😍
Impressive shreds dude! And imho it's OK to play less notes sometimes and do simple melodies in between those 16ths:)
Errbody got they style my man
This was the comment i was looking for
I agree.
Crazy must have million subs!
Are plainly overly used fa'st notes gives you goosebumps? No? So are the majority of his viewers. Yes? Perhaps you also like Justin Bieber.
KaKaDu YT how did you manage to be an elitist with such a simple comment, like actually how is that possible
@@jacoblbarton okay okay I wont do it again, stop crying
These are awesome. I'm old enough to remember when solos on pop tunes were a real thing. Hard to better Eddie's solo from Beat It. It was not long after that that it was seen as cliché. And radio formats required shorter tracks and something had to give. But occasionally I still get asked to play solos on pop records by producers. One that never got released was an 8-bar solo I did on a Justin Bieber/Taylor Swift track years ago.
These would be perfect for live concerts
The little smile he has on his face the entire time is pure passion
You’re playing style is a mix of Plini, Polyphia, Owane, and Intervals. It sounds fucking amazing. I guarantee at least 2 or 3 of those artists are huge influences for this guy.
He's a kind of Djentlemen
this dude should be on tour with one of these big acts. HOW has he not been scooped up yet!?!
"JASON MARS, HIRE HIM!!!"
Yeah, caps was needed.
Too many notes lol
Because anyone can do this. There’s thousands if not millions of technically skilled guitarist, just like there are of every other musician. He has skill sure, but it’s boring stuff, doesn’t sound original or special. Look at Jason Richardson for example, heeelllllaaa skilled but super boring. There’s guitarist who don’t really shred but they have a personal sound, a passionate sound, like Javier Reyes.
Víctor Manuel Serna anyone, really? Maybe anyone that starts practicing now 8 hours a day for at least a year. Sure pal, let’s find a thousand of them just by the corner willing to acomplish all of that.
Enrique Flores Bendezú do you play man? It does not take 8 hours a day for a year to achieve that. If you’re playing for 8 hours a day, you could probably reach that level in 2, maybe 3 months.
They would totally work, but you have to play them!
If these versions were on Spotify, they would be I my playlist. These lead guitar versions sound WAY better to me. Wicked playing bro
1000% true!
It’s called “Michael Jackson”
/John mayer
It's called a Santana collab
Prince you mean?
In late 80s or early 90 very many pop songs, at least Russian/Soviet, did have guitar solo. I wonder when it was gone.
@@konstkaras sovjeт popular music.
This deserves to be in everyone recommendations.
It’s been in mine for days. I just watched this and I’m willing to bet that this’ll be in everyone’s recommend in a few years lol
Every modern song should include a guitar solo to inspire today’s youth into picking up the beautiful instrument just like Van Halen did during the 80s
Rice Crispeee this assumes that modern “musicians” give a toss about anything other than money or themselves...
Adam Thow so what you’re saying is that modern “musicians” don’t care about about talent, just money?
*coughs john mayer
Rice Crispeee I’m saying that most top 40 “musicians” are more interested in instagram followers than making the music industry a more talented place.
John Mayer is about the only musician doing exactly what you’ve said. As an actual musician it’s not really surprising though:
Adam Thow it’s sad that today’s music industry only does it for the money and revenue and doesn’t show talent
This guy has an amazing ear for music to create these solos. Playing random notes of a scale is easy no matter how fast it is played. Playing each note to match a particular tune is skill.
Dudes this guy has got to have some of the BEST phrasing i've heard in a minute.
Guthrie
They should actually start adding solo’s to pop songs they sound EPIC!!!
Michael Jackson used to know what's good
I feel like Pop was invented by a guy who used to be a band vocalist that just secretly hates their guitarist for doing too much unnecessary guitar solos, like "It's not all about you."
But everyone knows which one is better
@@adhirajkaushik6550 depends on different opinions and tastes.
Nah, I'd say it was most likely a drummer. Sometimes the only good thing about a pop song is the beat
Actually, older pop was fucking great, and had many great solos by great guitarists. Look some of it up, you won't be disappointed.
Like that guy, name's.. Steve Lukather? Is in some band now for over 4 decades now called.. uhhmm.. Tuk Tuk? Nah.
Oh right! Toto! Might've heard of these guys somewhere too!
More like today's pop producers , back then pop song was not all about the singers , even michael jackson often got a greatest guitarist to play in his songs
3:50 absolute best. Also style of playing fits good I think
He’s really good, but I which the solos were more diverse. Same scales, a lot of same effects and runs. I wish he would’ve vibed with some of those tracks more. Like give me some hanging blues notes, give me some old school shred and give me some math/prog style. That aside. You’re definitely very talented
I agree with you 100 percent
Tha camilla cabello solo was pretty good tbh
Same scales because all pop song are the same
@Feel-!T Música y Covers era chiste
Agree let the song breathe!
This guy just made ALL of these songs 1000% better.
So is this where all the frustrated guitarists gather to cry?
I guess huhuhu
if all songs sound the same... better keep it without solos
@@jvergarag well said with a shite guitar solo all the songs still sound shite
we need guys like him working with pop musicians to give riffs solos and rhythms to keep rock alive
I think old town road should have had an accoustic guitar solo with a western feel to it.
Or a slide/steel solo.
@@martyscovers2022 yes that would have fit very well too
A lot of times when I see people shredding, it’s mindless shredding of scales that sound like warm ups. This though...now THIS is tasteful
@Otie Jason lol mad cuz bad
@Otie Jason I am sure you don't understand anything he played on those song. It's not just running down on a scale. I bet you its 10 times more Complex than metal solos. He's the type of player you called modern technical player.
@Otie Jason he deffinetly is not just running up and down scales but most of the shredding here is kind of unneccesary
I wish pop song really had guitar solos like this.
uhm! love story by Taylor Swift?
