Some of Rick's videos feel like you're just hanging out in a music shop with a guy who seems to work there but just shows you all the cool stuff he's found.
-
Rick Beato is a better guitar player than I am but I absolutely destroy him at air guitar…
-
Kim Thayil was always going to be in here. A tab book of Soundgarden way back when simply said ‘random combination of notes and scratchings with an absence of musicality’ for one of his solos instead of any tablature.
-
Always thought that Friedman solo was WICKED. It doesn't even sound strange to me. It's expertly crafted and teeters perfectly between being "outside" and right on point.
-
I reckon Adrian Belew's solo from "Elephant Talk" should have been included if only for its weird sound. (though his note choices weren't exactly ordinary either.)
-
I don’t understand how Adrian Belew didn’t make a single appearance. His work with Bowie, Talking Heads, and King Crimson is a total master class in “outside the box” guitar work, ESPECIALLY, when it comes to solos. Just listen to Bowie’s live version of Station to Station.
-
Anything by Vernon Reid of Living Colour could be in this list. Took me a while to get used to his style but now I love it.
-
I've always considered the Robert Fripp solo on Bowies Fashion is one of the greatest strange solos
-
I've always been fascinated by Alex Lifeson's guitar solo in "Limelight." It sounds so eerie and otherworldly.
-
Robert Fripp has written and played some "impossible" solos with King Crimson, from the 70s until recently when he announced his retirement.
-
Adding to the large pile of suggestions for Belew and Fripp. Belew’s playing on Remain In Light is mind-melting, particularly that solo for the Great Curve. Also Verlaine/Lloyd for Television have some excellent phrasing on Marquee Moon. Ichiro Agata from Melt Banana is also incredible.
-
And Ler LaLonde remains one of the most underrated guitar wizards of my era...
-
Honestly, whenever I think of strange solos I always go with Larry LaLonde's playing with Primus. Like, the stuff he plays on My Name Is Mud, Jerry Was A Race Car Driver, Wynona's Big Brown Beaver and pretty much everything he does in Primus is so weird but it fits the vibe of the band so well. As for other players, George Harrison on The Beatles' All You Need Is Love is a bit of an oddity as well but I still really like it
-
How you managed to list 20 strange guitar solos with none of them by Robert Fripp astounds me.
-
Alan Holdsworth is one of my heroes. Thank you for including him here. RIP Alan.
-
“Saint Elmo’s Fire” - Robert Fripp on Eno’s Another Green World. Love that solo
-
ANY solo by Adrian Belew could fit on this list. Fantastic guitarist with an incredible resumé who still somehow often flies under the radar.
-
I think what I like most about this channel, is the pure celebration of music. We're talking about the top 20 strangest guitar solos of all time and nowhere is Rick saying these are in poor taste or quality. Instead it's like "hey check this out. It's different." I love that.
-
Trevor Rabin is so amazing, his solos are often between the strange and the beautiful. Each time I listen to his music the more I love it!
-
Black Hole Sun, Heart Shaped Box, Just What I Needed, Symphony of Destruction, and especially Owner of a Lonely Heart's guitar solo are just iconic
