Greatest Guitar Solo Ever

batboytoy Says:

Feb 10, 2012 - His use of the Wah-Wah pedal in his earlier blues songs was an evident sign of how influnced by Hendrix he was, not to mention his styles when it came to earlier fashions.

Feb 10, 2012 - @devomade hate to whip u with friendly facts but there's another vid out there titled with Princes name. It only has 700k hits. Now its only been posted for 2 yrs but the vast majority of hits on this one came in the past 2yrs. Not positive but I think VH1 reran it in 09.

Feb 10, 2012 - This is a super cover an Prince definitely brings some fire - not even some of his best work though. Search Shhh (paris 2011). The guitar from about 2:20 till the end is unbelievably beautiful. Not technically rad, but the notes...

Feb 10, 2012 - @cdnmusicjunke Another killer Prince solo performance (if you can find it, he's a stickler for yanking music off of youtube) is his cover of Radiohead's "Creep" from Coachella ... insanely good stuff. ;-)

Feb 10, 2012 - That was INCREDIBLE! 868 dislikes?! Huh? They must not have stayed and watched the whole thing. THAT was a killer video, solo, rendition. Amazing.

Feb 10, 2012 - Holy mother fuck! That was prince?! Man...I had no Idea he could play like that! Sorry...just wasn't a prince fan in growing up. But I must say....I have a new respect for him now! That was great!

Feb 10, 2012 - Pure Musician joy. A fitting tribute.

Feb 10, 2012 - Blond hair guy is most definitely Tom Petty. Jeff Lynn of ELO is on his right.

Feb 10, 2012 - I hate everything the rock n roll hall of fame stand for! The way I see it is music is an art and how can you say that this person or that person is the best when it is all some ones opinion. Its not like a sports hall of fame where the players stats speak for themselves. How ever I do like to see things like this where they have great songs and great muscians playing together.

headzzzzz Says:

Feb 10, 2012 - Also did you know that 30 ppl select who will be inducted each yr and than those artist r put on a ballot for like 400 to 500 other ppl to vote for to see who gets to make it into the Hall. I was shocked when I heard the prez of the RnR hall of fame say this on an interview in the last two months. It was on the Eddie Trunk Siruis/xm show!

Feb 11, 2012 - @P1Kage Sure, it's "just a title", but titles have a purpose which is universally recognized as being a very brief description of the contents. If the title has brought 7million+ views, well that doesn't justisfy it if it isn't true. It's so far from true as to be deceptive and annoying, so don't be surprised if some people beg to differ. Not one of the players onstage is among the 1000 top players, so no surprise that the solo is totally run of the mill. Sorry if the truth hurts.

ProjLove Says:

Feb 11, 2012 - @thankfullyhere Actually, Prince is listed at #14 on Gibson's top 50 guitarists list. Like you, I'm not a big Prince guy, but dude can shred.

Feb 11, 2012 - Now I am seeing this, just GREAT

P1Kage Says:

Feb 11, 2012 - @Gregorypeckory Some guys would kick Jennifer Aniston out of bed while a million others would say she's the 'greatest.' Your opinion doesn't offend me in the least but your statement of there being a1000 better players than anyone on that stage diminishes your position and makes me question your motive. As they say, opinions are like ........

P1Kage Says:

Feb 11, 2012 - Those of you upset by the title of this vid please take a glance to the right. There are 20 vids similarly titled. I suppose you could always ask for your money back. Those of u who enjoyed the vid, and appreciate real music by real artists who are not voice boxed, on wires, Gaga'd, lil Wayned or studio repaired, Mr Mann, Petty, Lynn, and Nelson are at your service, so feel free to hit the replay button.

Feb 11, 2012 - @bobdeloyd You're right, the resemblance is very striking!

asktunes Says:

Feb 11, 2012 - Wow, this performance gave me chills. One of the greatest rock songs ever.

BeatlesRock1969 Says:

Feb 11, 2012 - Ok to all the heavy metal and hard rock fans: Having a complicated solo, or a really fast as hell solo, does NOT mean it's good. A solo is beautiful even if it's not that complicated to play, often the simplest things are the best in life, and this applies to everything, from love to music, with the greats of the past like Erik Satie, or Bach's cello suite, a SIMPLE but BEAUTIFUL piece, probably the BEST cello composition of history. Same for this AWESOMe solo. Thanks, and thanks George, miss u

WaltHawtin Says:

Feb 11, 2012 - @P1Kage Nuff said.And beautifully,too.

WaltHawtin Says:

Feb 11, 2012 - @Gregorypeckory Are you kidding? Now there's a League Table for people who know fuck all? Top 1000 players of ... what? There's a maturity thing happening here. Prince's solo is sweey, and in context. I love it. Context, you pompous arsehole,Greggy Pecky. Prince doing a Beatles solo? FUCKING LOVE IT.
