7 Famous Guitar Solos You Can Learn Today

Attention all aspiring guitar heroes!

If you’ve been dreaming of unleashing your inner rock god, buckle up for a wild ride. This blog post is your ticket to guitar greatness, guiding you through ten legendary solos you can start tackling today.

Each is a finger-blistering, ear-melting masterclass in epic playing that’ll have you shredding like a pro (or at least feeling like one).

1

Stairway to Solo Heaven

7 Famous Guitar Solos You Can Learn Today

Jimmy Page’s solo in “Stairway to Heaven” is nothing short of legendary. It starts with a dreamy, melodic line and crescendos into a whirlwind of challenging and gratifying notes.

Focus on mastering the bends and vibratos. The emotional depth of this solo comes from its dynamic shifts. Timing is essential here – the pauses are as important as the notes.

2

Sweet Child of Axe Skills

7 Famous Guitar Solos You Can Learn Today

Slash’s handiwork in “Sweet Child o’ Mine” is pure gold. The opening riff grabs attention, but the solo truly rocks. It blends bluesy licks with rapid-fire blues scales, making it a playground for shredders.

Pay special attention to Slash’s use of slides and pull-offs. These little tricks add a layer of sophistication.

3

Hotel California

7 Famous Guitar Solos You Can Learn Today

The dual guitar solo by Don Felder and Joe Walsh in “Hotel California” is a dialogue of guitars. Felder’s melodic approach balances perfectly with Walsh’s energetic, bluesy flair.

Practice both solos separately before merging them, as timing and phrasing are key to nailing this performance. This one pushes you to coordinate your fingers and ears.

4

Back in Black and Solo in Color

7 Famous Guitar Solos You Can Learn Today

Angus Young’s riff in “Back in Black” is the stuff of rock legend. The solo is deceptively simple, focusing on pentatonic scales and pinch harmonics.

Beginners will love this one for its accessibility, yet even professional players find joy in its raw energy. Emphasize the staccato notes and make sure your bends hit just right.

5

Comfortably Numb

7 Famous Guitar Solos You Can Learn Today

David Gilmour’s solos in “Comfortably Numb” are emotional rollercoasters. The first solo is smooth and soulful, while the second builds into a crescendo of expressive bends and sustained notes.

Focus on the phrasing and let the guitar sing. This isn’t about speed but rather the feeling in each note. Use your whammy bar subtly to mimic Gilmour’s signature sound.

6

Smoke on the Water

7 Famous Guitar Solos You Can Learn Today

Smoke on the Water” by Deep Purple is a must-learn rock anthem for guitarists of all levels. Its simple yet catchy intro riff, played with power chords, makes it perfect for beginners, while seasoned players still enjoy its iconic sound.

Mastering this solo feels like an actual achievement, and Roger Glover’s bass lines offer depth for those looking to explore further.

7

Eruption

7 Famous Guitar Solos You Can Learn Today

Eddie Van Halen’s “Eruption” is a groundbreaking rock guitar solo. It features fast tapping, quick pull-offs, and intense whammy bar dive bombs.

To master it, you must work on accurate alternate picking and smooth fretboard transitions. Practice tapping slowly and speed up as you improve. Focus on keeping a steady rhythm, even when playing fast. Use alternate picking to keep the notes clear.

    While I appreciate the classics you’ve listed, Hugh Richardson, I’d argue that including more contemporary solos could inspire a broader audience. Artists like John Mayer and St. Vincent are crafting solos that are just as impactful and could resonate with younger learners. It’s about blending the old with the new to keep guitar playing fresh and exciting.

      I see your point, GuitarGuru101, but don’t underestimate the timeless appeal of the classics. They’re classics for a reason. However, adding some modern tunes into the mix could indeed attract a wider audience.

    Eruption is epic, man. Took me months to get anywhere close. It’s all about persistence.

    I noticed ‘Electric Guitars for Beginners’ mentioned at the end, and I’m keen on learning more. Is there a specific model that works best for someone just starting? Looking forward to diving into this new hobby with your guidance,
