Excellent. And I suspect they really enjoy Pink Floyd late at night and early in the morning? On a similar note, I had a roommate that hated the blues and blues guitar (I know, I know, I know). So every morning at about 7 am or so, he got a 200 watt master class in Johnny Winter, Michael Bloomfield, SRV, Hendrix, Lowell George, Bonnie Rait, Robert Johnson, Duane Allman, Albert Collins and BB King, to name a few. For some reason, he really freaked out over Johnny Winter. I accused him of being biased against albino Texans.

But when you hear EVH guitar its something else, just like Gilmours. Not many guitarist now can capture you like those guys could.
One thing about Gilmour is he can pack so much emotion into very few notes. He doesn’t need to play fast or complex parts, he just has a feel for the song that seems almost supernatural.
yes, but here presented was this high school level music teachers clinical example of things. Not a real thing, this guy is so up in himself that he can't' see why this music sounds so lifeless.
My daddy raised me on the wisdom that the Time solo is the best solo of all solos. I actually assumed Comfortably Numb when I saw the Pink Floyd thumbnail. But Time is so great too.
Comfortably Numb actually has two brilliant guitar solos. I also love the shorter solo from Mother and the many solos from shine on you crazy diamond. I’m so glad this was your number one pic I completely agree.

There must be two in the list: - Steve Hackett: "Firth of fifth", by Genesis - Franco Mussida: "Suonare, suonare", by PFM as performed in their "LIve in Japan"
Wow Rick, have to give you props for including the Brother to brother solo! You never stop surprising me. All Ginos stuff from the 70s is other worldly! You know your stuff for sure Rick!
The second guitar solo from Comfortably Numb is the one that hits me the hardest. The main solo is undeniably great, and worthy of your top pick...but it's the outro solo that tears down The Wall.
EXACTLY, for me both are awesome, but the second has that deep feeling, I can’t explain, you would not understand, but it just hits hard (Please tell me you got the reference in the middle hahahaha)
Mr. Beato, Your list of the top 20 guitar solos of all time was very well chosen, and it was an absolute pleasure watching and listening to you playing those solos. Thank you for this superb video!
I agree with you, but I think that Jimmy Page's most beautiful solos took place at Madison Square Garden in 1973...with an extraordinary sound at the time 😉
Great list. No quibbles. One I’ve always really liked is Martin Barre’s on “Aqualung.” Melodic and kinda kick ass but fluid … fits the atmosphere of the song.
Very much so. It’s important to try and stay neutral I guess but all of us at a certain age are emotionally influenced. Martin Barr’s sound and style are ingrained much like a Ringo drum solo. Complex or basic really makes no difference. Melodic makes a difference.
Thank you, Rick, for this trip down Memory Lane!!! How blessed are we to have been a part of some of the greatest music ever!!!!! Cannot wait to hear #1…!!!!
It's why I became a Dire Straits fan, but the live version of Sultans of Swing vs Telegraph Road, toss up for me. Just glad Mark Knopfler made the list.
Check out The REO Brothers cover, you’ll be amazed. Actually, you’ll be amazed with all their covers from The Beatles to all the classics from the 60’s to the 80’s. They’re all young but they do magnificent job with every cover.
This guy just played some of the greatest guitar solos of all time. He actually played them. Amazing. And he's just as good on the piano. Pretty incredible.
I lost 2 pets in the space of 4 days the week before thanksgiving, my cat to diabetic keto acidosis and my dog to meningio sarcoma. We had no idea either one of them was sick. I played comfortably numb for hours over and over again. The song has new meaning for me now
@Sean Garland - That's exactly why I love Music so much; It creates an atmosphere, brings back memories...it's just magical! ...okay, not ALL of it. But a lot! LOL! :-))
I know. Been a fav of mine since I 1st heard it in Jr High. All soul and good taste and it's memorable precisely because it isn't dependent on speed and flashy technique. It should be required study at Berkeley College of Music simply as a effort to counteract the Berklee College sound they often inculcate to students unintentionally. It should also be required study for all self-taught shredding electric guitar players as a way of shaming them into at least aspiring to develop a sense of composition. I do wish Rick included some Carlos Santana as well as David Gilmore. He's another guitarist that uses feel and composition rather than simply shredding.
The moment Rick played the first note, I literally got chills down my spine. I'm 53 years old and it still hits me. I believe that defines the term "timeless", at least for me and apparently for you too.
I know, huh? Gilmour’s solo is so laid back...which melds well with the whole feel/lyrics of the song. I love how many “monster” musicians exude a sort of power through their instruments. I remember I heard Rat Dog live at Red Rocks and I was blown away how much magic they created with their jams. We’re talking 20 minutes of jamming then out of nowhere, the band came together to the head as of a switch was flipped. The cue was so subtle, it was pure honey.
We played Comfortably Numb at my son’s funeral service...he loved Pink Floyd...especially this one...makes me cry when I hear it...but thank you...they are good tears...
Rick, I love your stuff and your insane collection of guitars (lol). My favorite solos also include "Goodbye to Romance" (Rhoads), "River Huron Blues (Steve Morse)", "Cause We've Ended as Lovers" (Jeff Beck), "Are You Going With Me" (Pat Metheny) and anything by BB King or Stevie Ray Vaughan. Lots of love. Keep it going.

A nice win for one of my most-most favourite songs. Every time I hear Comfortably Numb, I get the goosies. Back in the days of puffing, my old schoolmate Wally (MHRIP) and I used to listen to it stoned. The verse about "when I was a child, etc.," still resonates with me after all these 30-odd years. As a child, I did catch a fleeting glimpse, out of the corner of my eye. I did turn to look, but it was gone. I couldn't put my finger on it then. I hope that I will, now that I have taken creative writing and written some novels. The child has grown old, but the dream will come back with the last geese of the autumn of my life. Kea leboha, Ntate Rick!
“Sultans of Swing” was such a fresh sound that I remember the first time I heard it on the car radio I had to pull into a parking lot and stop so I could give it my full attention. It blew me away then and still sounds just as good today.
It is ridiculous that it was put in 20th place by the author of the video, really absurd, it was deserving at least in Top Ten. Mark Knopfler with Dire Straits is an undisputed king
@@matty3308 I AGREE!!! and Tunnel of Love ??? Rick Beato I think we must listen carefully and analyze well the most beautiful and artistic solos in the history of Rock! His list is watering everywhere ...
Me too his Time solo got me hooked on the band. I was at a music store and they used DSOTM to demo stereos in 1979. I asked who is that!? Only heard Money up until then which is overplayed but still love playing it. But Time holds a special place. No matter what I'm doing if I hear that song I stop and listen.
Numb¹ has been my favorite ever since I first heard it. I might have picked a few different ones elsewhere but you picked ALL great solos. Rock On Rick! 🎸
And I could never get what's so special about this incredibly generic and uninteresting melody. Kind of funny how we all perceive the same things so differently.
When I started this video, I was like, “Terry Kath 25 or 6 to 4, it better be in this list…” and when I saw Rick playing these solos I was like, “no way he’ll play the 25 or 6 to 4 solo”… and he didn’t. Should have been higher up the list though…
My number 1 guitar solo is Duane Allman's slide on "Little Wing", covered by Derek and the Dominos. His solo together with Jim Gordon's drums is stunning.
I was wondering where Page's solo might end up but I knew it had to be top 5 since we all know Rick loves LZ. Nice to see David nab it! Remarkable guitarist just like Page.
Excellent playing Rick! Wow I like all these solo's. I made me remind Jay Graydon's outro solo in Steve Kipner's The Ending. Also a mindblowin' solo to me.
I still think the album version of The Knack's "My Sharona" contains one of the best-ever guitar solos. Berton Averre just kills it, both in terms of tone and technique - but also in terms of lyricism.
Great list! David Gilmour is proof that brilliant playing doesn't need to be insanely fast, or insanely complex. He is hands down, my favorite rock guitarist of all time!
totally spot on , personally I find Mr Gilmours' stuff easy to get into but crazy nutz to master the nuances ... another brick in the wall ... been playing it for 2 years ...listened to it on headphones for the 1st time in a while ... dammit !!!... clicks in there i missed ... also he consistently gets all the hair on both my arms going
Agreed. 1000 notes is not necessary. The Gilmour tone and sustain is what hits. On the list, no Santana? No Metallica? No Sabbath? Iron Man is not a great guitar intro? Crazy Train?
The live version of Comfortably Numb off of the Pulse tour recordings still stands as one of the most emotionally charged solos every captured. Every note is just Amazing. David Gilmour has a knack for writing with such emotion to match whatever song he is playing. It is hard to just put it down to one solo though. I have also noticed that a lot of his live solos are actually improved versions of the album solos. It’s almost like he is constantly evolving each solo to be better each time he plays them live. Sadly I never had the opportunity to see them in concert. But David Gilmour wool always remain one of my greatest influences as a guitar player.
I think David Gilmour is one guitarist that when you hear him playing, you know exactly who it is. Whether the strat is clean, muffed up, tube driven or other. His melodic phrasing can not me mistaken. Nobody bends like Gilmour, and trying to learn his solos have really hurt my fingers, and broken some strings over the years. Shine On is one of those songs with melodic guitar playing I can listen to over and over again un succession. The whole Animals album has some of his best guitar work on it. Its not too often I see Mr Gilmour taking the top spot on these lists. But I can not deny he deserves it. I also might be biased, because when I first saw the PULSE concert on vhs, I said "I wanna play like that guy!" Lol. The whole list was very enjoyable.
Gilmour is amazing. I am replying because I just worked out the Lifeson solo to Overture - well I watched him play it then copied him - the solo is not so difficult but the bends are. The opening bend and the prolonged bends in the middle. I think Lifeson is perhaps overlooked in the 'bending department'. He is one of the great benders, so to speak.
@@zendisciple3737 Alex Lifeson is one of the most underappreciated, underrated guitarist in rock n roll. Gilmour I would say is "rated", but Lifeson "underrated". I can listen to "The Necromancer" over and over again also. There are so many different parts to that song, and I have hardly heard a guitar player tell a whole story in a series of guitar solos. Its crazy, like when he is playing, I can "see" the story. Its like a Peter and the Wolf type of a situation. For me at least, getting the bends correctly of these great guitar players is the hardest part, not the speed.
Awesome playing covering the Top 20. Comfortably Numb sitting pretty at No1. Gilmour's solo in High Hopes would also rank in my top 5 solos of all time 😊👍
It shouldn't be at number 20 on Ricks list, but.............music is so subjective that a rational argument between music lovers of all persuasions is the kind of argument I could have all day. And afterwards, Comfortably Numb at maximum volume setting ends that argument. A true story: once, on a sunday afternoon in Hyde Park, I was listening to it on a walkman when a guy approached me and yelled at me because it wasn't loud enough. That made my day!
The solo from 'Time' kills me. The solos from' on the turning away' and especially ' high hopes' will convince you that David Gilmour is the emotional master of the guitar.
Your work on #20 is great. Reminds me of Street Light, a St. Louis cover band I managed in the 90s. Kevin Watson would play The Sultan of Swing during the sound check and many bar owners and managers were blown away, well before the show started.
I don't dislike any of the songs, but it is completely unacceptable to say "of all time" when you just meant "of my era". Metallica instrumentals are absolutely beautiful. Slash puts an emotional connection to the technical prowess that Eddie VanHalen never could. It's a list made by an angry old man yelling at children about his time being the greatest. The guitar doesn't work that way, it always finds its way to you.
Honestly I didn't know they're a blocker band and I kept getting upset when they weren't on his lists and weren't at the top but when he played that first note I literally got teary eyes.
It was cool that Rick included that brilliantly-melodic final solo from “The End.” I would also have included the raucous cut-and-paste three-man solo from earlier in the medley (after “LOVE YOU!”)
Rick your channel is superb and yes im subscribed to your 2nd also...... you play sultans almost note same as me but some things you play like jass fusion blow me away your a great fella keep up the work on your channels including interviews Dave Scott UK ps you helped me out with attenuators cheers mate
Good stuff....what's really amazing is how you remember all this stuff...and it's right on the money. One that I always think is up there...not as layered or complex as many but should be there...even for its nostalgic reasons and that's the guit solo from Louie Louie. I hear these oldies on the radio and I grew up and played in bands in the 60s and early 70s and you hear songs that I will say to my wife...now there's a song that every kid that ever picked up a guitar with ideas of playing in a "rock band" cut his///or her teeth on.
For some reason my favourite solo of all time is “Time” by Pink Floyd. Something about it just makes me feel something I’ve never felt listening to any other solo.
I know is not the same without Gilmour but I love the one from The wall live in Berlin with Van Morrison and the Band, those guitarrists (Rick Di Fonzo and Snowy White) did it more than acceptable I would say!
I like your list a lot, and fully agree! Since you talked about great "feel" in the solo, I MUST throw this one in the mix, which is one of MY all-time favorite guitar solos: Baker Street by Gerry Rafferty (played by Hugh Burns.)

the best of the all best if possible - DG
Yep, these guys did their best work after they had really fucked up.
The Who, Nazareth, Boston, Slash, Aerosmith, Clapton, Lynryd Skynyrd, Pink Floyd, Sabbath, Queen, Rush, Led Zeppelin.
Jimmy Page’s solo in “Led Zeppelin - How Many More Times (Danmarks Radio 1969)” is epic.
I agree with you, but I think that Jimmy Page's most beautiful solos took place at Madison Square Garden in 1973...with an extraordinary sound at the time 😉
Since I've been Loving you was an awesome Page tune too
Great list. No quibbles. One I’ve always really liked is Martin Barre’s on “Aqualung.” Melodic and kinda kick ass but fluid … fits the atmosphere of the song.
Very much so. It’s important to try and stay neutral I guess but all of us at a certain age are emotionally influenced. Martin Barr’s sound and style are ingrained much like a Ringo drum solo. Complex or basic really makes no difference. Melodic makes a difference.
Great guitarist so often forgotten, just like the great Peter Green.
I thought I was the only one who rated Martin Barre among the greats, but he was never an egotist - left that to the lead flautist😊
"Since I've been loving you" is one of my favorites as well
Definitely a god tier solo.
I'm sad that everyone thinks stairways solo is better
Holla
I agree, but I think Rick is going for solos as rather succinct, concise statements, which I guess is just as legit as any other approach.
rutracunha YES! Since IBLY . One of the very best
Slash's solo in November Rain deserves an honorable mention
Screw him. He's a blocker
@@bradschneider6361 what's a blocker mean?
It deserves to be number one.
Rick’s afraid of even mention G’nR or Eagles
@@isthenew-wy2kd makes You Tube take it down
Fascinating array of guitars & amplifiers in background Great job Rick!
Thank you, Rick, for this trip down Memory Lane!!! How blessed are we to have been a part of some of the greatest music ever!!!!! Cannot wait to hear #1…!!!!
Yup!!!!! Floyd is my Swan Song…🎸🎶❤️🎸
The solo for Sultans Of Swing hits me like a cold beer after working all day in the heat.
Definitely my favourite, it’s the reason I own a guitar
It's why I became a Dire Straits fan, but the live version of Sultans of Swing vs Telegraph Road, toss up for me. Just glad Mark Knopfler made the list.
Check out The REO Brothers cover, you’ll be amazed. Actually, you’ll be amazed with all their covers from The Beatles to all the classics from the 60’s to the 80’s. They’re all young but they do magnificent job with every cover.
Dire Straights bores me to tears.
Still the Best
This guy just played some of the greatest guitar solos of all time. He actually played them. Amazing. And he's just as good on the piano. Pretty incredible.
Agreed. What talent.
Not to mention drums, and bass
Yep, I was thinking the same, his lists are great because he can play all those songs and instruments!! What a talented person! Thank you!
Rick is an incredible talent for sure. He's an inspiration to all.
It was pure pleasure listening to you play such awesome songs! Thank you.
I lost 2 pets in the space of 4 days the week before thanksgiving, my cat to diabetic keto acidosis and my dog to meningio sarcoma. We had no idea either one of them was sick. I played comfortably numb for hours over and over again. The song has new meaning for me now
When my then-6 year old first heard the solo on Comfortably Numb, she said “It feels like I’m flying”. Couldn’t have said it any better.
My hands felt just like two balloons
@Sean Garland - That's exactly why I love Music so much; It creates an atmosphere, brings back memories...it's just magical! ...okay, not ALL of it. But a lot! LOL! :-))
@Sean, I couldn't have said it better myself.
It is one of the simple solos with an actual feeling that can't be reproduced by notation alone.
Chills every time I hear that solo.
Doesn't matter how many times I hear that Gilmour solo... instant chills every time.
I know. Been a fav of mine since I 1st heard it in Jr High. All soul and good taste and it's memorable precisely because it isn't dependent on speed and flashy technique. It should be required study at Berkeley College of Music simply as a effort to counteract the Berklee College sound they often inculcate to students unintentionally. It should also be required study for all self-taught shredding electric guitar players as a way of shaming them into at least aspiring to develop a sense of composition. I do wish Rick included some Carlos Santana as well as David Gilmore. He's another guitarist that uses feel and composition rather than simply shredding.
The moment Rick played the first note, I literally got chills down my spine. I'm 53 years old and it still hits me. I believe that defines the term "timeless", at least for me and apparently for you too.
I know, huh? Gilmour’s solo is so laid back...which melds well with the whole feel/lyrics of the song. I love how many “monster” musicians exude a sort of power through their instruments. I remember I heard Rat Dog live at Red Rocks and I was blown away how much magic they created with their jams. We’re talking 20 minutes of jamming then out of nowhere, the band came together to the head as of a switch was flipped. The cue was so subtle, it was pure honey.
pleased there are a few people that realize what's real
Oh man both solos on comfortably numb are epic and big part of my playing, Gilmour, , Schon, Satriani , Eddie Van , all have been my teachers 😊👍
I'm a woodwind player. In fact , a great alto sax player. This is amazing and eye opening stuff here. Thank you! Excellent!
Perfect picks. Thakyou teminsiniz many wonderful episode of my life🙏
Absolutely agree, David Gilmore’s last solo in Comfortably Numb is just pure art
You got't wrong, Rick chose the first....
yeh the 2nd solo is mate can't beleive he picked number 1
Zen.
yes, the 2nd solo has time to build, especially in later live renditions
How bout on an Island solos to follow comfortably numb ...High Hopes or sorrow
We played Comfortably Numb at my son’s funeral service...he loved Pink Floyd...especially this one...makes me cry when I hear it...but thank you...they are good tears...
I'm very sorry for your loss
You loved him. Hope he continues to hear them.
Listen to it on The Pulse tour live. It's one of the last songs. It's over the top.
I have never heard of you until this moment, and I must say, you have some amazing skills. I absolutely subscribed.
Rick, I love your stuff and your insane collection of guitars (lol). My favorite solos also include "Goodbye to Romance" (Rhoads), "River Huron Blues (Steve Morse)", "Cause We've Ended as Lovers" (Jeff Beck), "Are You Going With Me" (Pat Metheny) and anything by BB King or Stevie Ray Vaughan. Lots of love. Keep it going.

Thanks man! :)
“These are my top 20. These are solos that mean something to me.” That’s a satisfying statement.
Yes, no guitarist has been invented, after which you can actually cry, like David Jon Gilmour, he is never wrong, even if he is never quite the same, it is remarkable how he can express the same thing in 1000 ways and never get bored ...I love you Rick Beato, you are as unique as David!
I JUST stated that the 2nd solo on Comfortably Numb at Live from POmpeii DID bring tears to my eyes, seriously, Such mastery!
A nice win for one of my most-most favourite songs.
Every time I hear Comfortably Numb, I get the goosies. Back in the days of puffing, my old schoolmate Wally (MHRIP) and I used to listen to it stoned.
The verse about "when I was a child, etc.," still resonates with me after all these 30-odd years. As a child, I did catch a fleeting glimpse, out of the corner of my eye. I did turn to look, but it was gone. I couldn't put my finger on it then. I hope that I will, now that I have taken creative writing and written some novels. The child has grown old, but the dream will come back with the last geese of the autumn of my life.
Kea leboha, Ntate Rick!
“Sultans of Swing” was such a fresh sound that I remember the first time I heard it on the car radio I had to pull into a parking lot and stop so I could give it my full attention. It blew me away then and still sounds just as good today.
it sucks when radio stations cut the ending riff down. such a fantastic leave.
It is ridiculous that it was put in 20th place by the author of the video, really absurd, it was deserving at least in Top Ten.
Mark Knopfler with Dire Straits is an undisputed king
@@donaldp3642 yea and where was money for nothing
@@matty3308 I AGREE!!!
and Tunnel of Love ???
Rick Beato I think we must listen carefully and analyze well the most beautiful and artistic solos in the history of Rock!
His list is watering everywhere ...
@@donaldp3642 my personal guilty pleasure song romeo and juilet lol
For me, David Gilmores solo on “time” is just so hypnotic.
True. So soaring and full of emotion. A true master.
I’m with you! The solo in “Time” is my all time favorite.
So many Gilmour solos to chose from. If you're looking for a 'hidden gem' try listening to Supertramps 'Brother Where You Bound' from 06:50
Name one thing not perfect about "Time"?
Me too his Time solo got me hooked on the band. I was at a music store and they used DSOTM to demo stereos in 1979. I asked who is that!? Only heard Money up until then which is overplayed but still love playing it. But Time holds a special place. No matter what I'm doing if I hear that song I stop and listen.
Mr. Rick, you are one hell of a guitarist!
Top 2 are my favorites ! Well done !
Steve Howe's solo from the Würm section of Starship Troopers is otherworldly
YES.
Eh....pun not exactly intended. Just...just yes.
Think the same, i played the video to see that solo
Any Steve Howe. Classically trained and it shows.
For me, It's not even one of Howe's top five - but it would still blow most solos in Rick's list out of the water...
Rick needs to go on tour with his band The Notorious Blockers.
Well played.
😂🤣
hahaha. actual lol.
The do exist - you've just never heard them on UA-cam.
greatly magnificent someone comprehends what's true
Numb¹ has been my favorite ever since I first heard it. I might have picked a few different ones elsewhere but you picked ALL great solos. Rock On Rick! 🎸
Mark does all this incredible guitar work whilst maintaining wonderful lyrics and vocals. I don't know a better way to describe a musical genius!
Heard Stairway a million times and that solo still moves me every time.
Yep, No.1 for me, Highway Star 2nd.
And I could never get what's so special about this incredibly generic and uninteresting melody. Kind of funny how we all perceive the same things so differently.
@@VioletGiraffe generic? ok buddy
@@VioletGiraffe because its iconic, also please tell me all about how generic jimmy page was, I'd love to hear more
1. Stairway to Heaven
2. Comfortably Numb
You had me at "the Sultans of Swing".
HAH I said the same thing!
Should’ve been waaaaay higher
Yeah!
Eh, he should've played it fingerstyle, like Mark Knopfler did
What an outstanding collection of beautiful guitars!
You had me at no. 20. Nicely done. The list is stellar.
Your mum playing rhythm while you were studying a solo, that's one of the most heart warming things I've ever heard.
Terry Kath was absolutely amazing. His music is a huge inspiration to me. His music is still so innovative today. RIP
Not only was TK a great lead player, he was also great at rhythm.
Only 15 and notice he can't even play his solo
Funny thing. I was a player then but when I heard Kath, I QUIT!
When I started this video, I was like, “Terry Kath 25 or 6 to 4, it better be in this list…” and when I saw Rick playing these solos I was like, “no way he’ll play the 25 or 6 to 4 solo”… and he didn’t. Should have been higher up the list though…
Always enjoy. Thanx Rick 😎
Well the solo done on Chicagos 25 or 6 to 4 live concert ,that was the best solo I have ever seen ....fantastic
Agreed. Terry Kath was one of the best!
I absolutely love the solo from Sultans of Swing. I also agree that it sounds like nothing at all. Its so great.
I was disappointed that he didn't play the second solo from the song as well :(
my favorite. Surprised when he started with it.
Another piece of musical genius. The live version (Alchemy) continues to blow me away.
@@some_doofusl think he is limited by copyrights and getting in trouble with UA-cam at times?
Solo in a pop tune: My Sharona, The Knack. It has a beginning, middle, and end. Melody, licks, and builds to a climax. Great list, Rick.
One of the all time great under-rated solos in guitar.
My sharona is one of the greatest.
The best!
Your skills are absolutely mind blowing. Thank you sir.
My number 1 guitar solo is Duane Allman's slide on "Little Wing", covered by Derek and the Dominos. His solo together with Jim Gordon's drums is stunning.
comfortably numb is a masterpiece. all the way through the top twenty i was thinking where is this.
I was wondering where Page's solo might end up but I knew it had to be top 5 since we all know Rick loves LZ. Nice to see David nab it! Remarkable guitarist just like Page.
It's a top 3 solo for me. The key change into the outro solo is amazing as well.
Agreed, the outro solo has been voted many times as the best ever, I think he should've played that one
All the way through i was thinking it cant be anything else.
Sad to read this at I'm listening to #9, still expecting this solo will come soon and see Rick playing it!
Mick Ronson on “Moonage Daydream” is otherworldly...
Yes true
Yes! Thanks for bringing that one up
Oh yes! The best classic solo!
Mick Ronson was Bowies best guitarist in my humble opinion 🙏
teppolundgren I know what you mean...
Excellent playing Rick! Wow
I like all these solo's. I made me remind Jay Graydon's outro solo in Steve Kipner's The Ending. Also a mindblowin' solo to me.
Rick, you da man my man. Incredible talent you have.
I love how he casually sits there and plays flawlessly the best guitar solos of the rock era
Might have taken a few takes to get them right but that only increases my respect.
Dario Leo - And it’s only one of several instruments he’s proficient at. I’m jelly.
You know it's a solid list when it leads off with Sultans!
Its more solid when ends with dire straits
Sultans should be the number one actually
I personally would have Sultans higher but im just grateful he had it on the list. It will forever be a great song/solo
Nice rendition Rick all good enjoyed it ❤😊
I still think the album version of The Knack's "My Sharona" contains one of the best-ever guitar solos. Berton Averre just kills it, both in terms of tone and technique - but also in terms of lyricism.
Great list! David Gilmour is proof that brilliant playing doesn't need to be insanely fast, or insanely complex. He is hands down, my favorite rock guitarist of all time!
He is one of the great GODS OF GUITARS
Songs From Spring Creek Ave on the turning away is my personal favorite Pink Floyd solo.
The most "feel" ever !!
totally spot on , personally I find Mr Gilmours' stuff easy to get into but crazy nutz to master the nuances ... another brick in the wall ... been playing it for 2 years ...listened to it on headphones for the 1st time in a while ... dammit !!!... clicks in there i missed ... also he consistently gets all the hair on both my arms going
Agreed. 1000 notes is not necessary. The Gilmour tone and sustain is what hits. On the list, no Santana? No Metallica? No Sabbath? Iron Man is not a great guitar intro? Crazy Train?
When you start with Sultans of Swing, you know great things are to come.
Leo Fender was asked who some of his favorite guitarists are: Mark Knopfler was one of them.
I was wondering what great solos we were going to hear after one of my favorites of all time.
Great big fat gay things.
Mark knopfler 🎸💪
@@clivewells7090 talking about yourself is a little passé, pet.
Rick! Super strong Sultans of Swing riff. Well done.
Amazing - Love this !
The fact that Rick can play all of them?? Priceless ❤️ ❤️
Well not ALL of them. He couldn't stretch to play the #7 solo.
For God's sake he's rick, he could probably make one of his guitars create green portals
The live version of Comfortably Numb off of the Pulse tour recordings still stands as one of the most emotionally charged solos every captured.
Every note is just Amazing.
David Gilmour has a knack for writing with such emotion to match whatever song he is playing.
It is hard to just put it down to one solo though.
I have also noticed that a lot of his live solos are actually improved versions of the album solos.
It’s almost like he is constantly evolving each solo to be better each time he plays them live.
Sadly I never had the opportunity to see them in concert.
But David Gilmour wool always remain one of my greatest influences as a guitar player.
It's amazing what a man can do with only 10 fingers , 6 strings and a little piece of plastic ...
@@fabiencoze9829 and some wiring
Yes. Pulse is a Bible!!
Pity they cut out the last part of the (2nd) solo. You can listen to it in its full only in the PPV edition of the show.
Great playing, Rick!
Dude you absolutely shredded that jimmy page solo man I loved the way you played it
Rick 'I know that song' Beato - This guy's knowledge is incredible seriously
LOLOLOLOLOL! Hell yeah, dude!!
It's seriously incredible also.
I think David Gilmour is one guitarist that when you hear him playing, you know exactly who it is. Whether the strat is clean, muffed up, tube driven or other. His melodic phrasing can not me mistaken. Nobody bends like Gilmour, and trying to learn his solos have really hurt my fingers, and broken some strings over the years. Shine On is one of those songs with melodic guitar playing I can listen to over and over again un succession. The whole Animals album has some of his best guitar work on it. Its not too often I see Mr Gilmour taking the top spot on these lists. But I can not deny he deserves it. I also might be biased, because when I first saw the PULSE concert on vhs, I said "I wanna play like that guy!" Lol. The whole list was very enjoyable.
Gilmour is amazing. I am replying because I just worked out the Lifeson solo to Overture - well I watched him play it then copied him - the solo is not so difficult but the bends are. The opening bend and the prolonged bends in the middle. I think Lifeson is perhaps overlooked in the 'bending department'. He is one of the great benders, so to speak.
@@zendisciple3737 Alex Lifeson is one of the most underappreciated, underrated guitarist in rock n roll. Gilmour I would say is "rated", but Lifeson "underrated". I can listen to "The Necromancer" over and over again also. There are so many different parts to that song, and I have hardly heard a guitar player tell a whole story in a series of guitar solos. Its crazy, like when he is playing, I can "see" the story. Its like a Peter and the Wolf type of a situation. For me at least, getting the bends correctly of these great guitar players is the hardest part, not the speed.
What was made with Floyd and after was amazing. Imagine what would have been created if Gilmour and Waters kept working together..
Let's too not forget Echoes 🔥
Gilmour is amazing. He deserves it.
‘Machine Gun’ by Jimi Hendrix has my favourite guitar solo of all time. The one on the Band Of Gypsys album absolutely smokes!
Awesome playing covering the Top 20. Comfortably Numb sitting pretty at No1. Gilmour's solo in High Hopes would also rank in my top 5 solos of all time 😊👍
I'll always put Sutans of Swing with Mark Knoffler as my alltime favorite. When it came on the radio in 1978 it blew everyone away, especially me.
That song saved the world from disco all by itself.
It shouldn't be at number 20 on Ricks list, but.............music is so subjective that a rational argument between music lovers of all persuasions is the kind of argument I could have all day. And afterwards, Comfortably Numb at maximum volume setting ends that argument.
A true story: once, on a sunday afternoon in Hyde Park, I was listening to it on a walkman when a guy approached me and yelled at me because it wasn't loud enough. That made my day!
Watch the video of Telegraph Road. Ignore the idiot bass player in the background.
@@trevorhoward7682There's a few versions Trevor. Which one?
@@TheMerlin672 The one I watch regularly is the Alchemy Tour Live video posted by Rock is Highlife
The solo from 'Time' kills me. The solos from' on the turning away' and especially ' high hopes' will convince you that David Gilmour is the emotional master of the guitar.
High hopes solo never fails to make me cry
David Gilmour is the best guitarist ever. He literally makes the guitar cry in the solo of High Hopes
@@Dimpet-xw9gg check out the live aol sessions version of high hopes.
I always love listening to David Gilmore's guitar playing.
Basically Dave Gilmour's solos could fill most of the top 20 of all time.
Your work on #20 is great. Reminds me of Street Light, a St. Louis cover band I managed in the 90s. Kevin Watson would play The Sultan of Swing during the sound check and many bar owners and managers were blown away, well before the show started.
Awesome list! Love it!
David Gilmour where I expected him to be in this list. Legend.
You, sir, have great taste
I don't dislike any of the songs, but it is completely unacceptable to say "of all time" when you just meant "of my era". Metallica instrumentals are absolutely beautiful. Slash puts an emotional connection to the technical prowess that Eddie VanHalen never could. It's a list made by an angry old man yelling at children about his time being the greatest. The guitar doesn't work that way, it always finds its way to you.
Honestly I didn't know they're a blocker band and I kept getting upset when they weren't on his lists and weren't at the top but when he played that first note I literally got teary eyes.
@@bvmilzar are you saying slash is better than EVH? Plz dont
You meant GOD?
Appreciate the nod to George Harrison for "The End"- well deserved... but for me, it's his solo on "Something." Simply perfection.
Man i love to play that solo on guitar. Its a ton of fun and reletively easy one to get the feel of but very difficult to master.
Eric Clapton played the solo.
Lawrence Davis You’re thinking of “While My Guitar Gently Weeps.” The “Something” solo is beautifully George
It was cool that Rick included that brilliantly-melodic final solo from “The End.” I would also have included the raucous cut-and-paste three-man solo from earlier in the medley (after “LOVE YOU!”)
@@ronoku9445 it's intentional. Do you really think he couldn't play in time?
Rick your channel is superb and yes im subscribed to your 2nd also...... you play sultans almost note same as me but some things you play like jass fusion blow me away your a great fella keep up the work on your channels including interviews Dave Scott UK ps you helped me out with attenuators cheers mate
Good stuff....what's really amazing is how you remember all this stuff...and it's right on the money. One that I always think is up there...not as layered or complex as many but should be there...even for its nostalgic reasons and that's the guit solo from Louie Louie. I hear these oldies on the radio and I grew up and played in bands in the 60s and early 70s and you hear songs that I will say to my wife...now there's a song that every kid that ever picked up a guitar with ideas of playing in a "rock band" cut his///or her teeth on.
For some reason my favourite solo of all time is “Time” by Pink Floyd. Something about it just makes me feel something I’ve never felt listening to any other solo.
You should check out John Petrucci's solo in "The Best of Times" an absolute stunner of a solo
@@christophertrollan1188 What does it have to do with what he said though?
Yup, always thought Time was Gilmours best work
You should check out Jonny Greenwood's solo on paranoid android broseph
Indeed
The Comfortably Numb guitar solo still gives me chills after 40+ years.
Same here mate. 👍🏼
I know is not the same without Gilmour but I love the one from The wall live in Berlin with Van Morrison and the Band, those guitarrists (Rick Di Fonzo and Snowy White) did it more than acceptable I would say!
Same here. "On The Turning Away" is also insane.
am I the only one who prefers the solo in HEY YOU?
@@JP-xd6fm Snowy White toured with PF few years later
I like your list a lot, and fully agree! Since you talked about great "feel" in the solo, I MUST throw this one in the mix, which is one of MY all-time favorite guitar solos: Baker Street by Gerry Rafferty (played by Hugh Burns.)
wonderful ! what an insight ! loved it !
Honestly, the 25 or 6 to 4 guitar work is AMAZING!
One of the best overall pieces of guitar history.
Terry Kath is at the top of my list.
@@billp4 ,
And when you had Jimi Hendrix saying he thought Terry Kath was better then him, that is really saying something.
Plus he didn't even play the Kath solo, what does that tell you
Terry Kath is an absolute monster. Ridiculously underappreciated, I feel like he's objectively in the top 5 greatest rock guitarists ever.
Eddie Savitz's Pizzabox Collection Absolutely!!
One of the greatest feel players of our time. I think about Terry every time I pick up my guitar.
One of the best
Totally agree
Totally agree even Hendrix supposedly said that Terry was a better guitar player than him
The black Les Paul when you played AC/DC sounded absolutely fantastic. Just what an electric guitar should sound like. Angus Young , amazing.
