The Future of the Guitar Solo

I don't comment on videos very often, but since you are going on hiatus I wanted to show my appreciation for what you have done. This channel has never failed to put out high quality and interesting content. I hope you enjoy the break and really hope to see a new Polyphonic video on my feed one day.

So happy to see John Frusciante and Wet Sand get a section in this. RHCP is my favorite band of all time and Wet Sand is an often unseen gem of the Pep's stacked catalogue, and the entire song start to finish is a testament to the musical and emotional chemistry between those 4. Great video series, one of the best music channels on this site!

Your picture of Ray Toro is actually of Frank Iero, rhythm guitarist not lead. Just noticed but in the end you get the point across of MCR's force as a band. Will miss you during the hiatus, hope it comes with the best fulfilment.

“For the first time since Sister Rosetta Tharpe, women guitarists are leading the way!” Nancy Wilson and Joan Jett: 😑 But seriously. I’ve loved this series so much! Thank you for making it and also the other great videos you’ve done!

Please don't quit! I know you get a lot of love and a ton of requests to do everyone's favorite genre, band, or point in time. But you've just opened the door to so many about why and where their favorite song or artist came from. Much love and I hope you can continue this Noble quest to help people learn and appreciate music more.

Wow, I thought this series cannot get any more incredible, and as a person who mostly listens to music from 50s to 80s, you gave me hope that the beautiful instrument has a great future, thanks for this

THANK YOU! I have really enjoyed your muse, your passion, your contribution to my interest. Without these, I'd be less of a person.

Phenomenal series, well done! I always love your content, but this one on the guitar solo has been amazing. I'm a little surprised that Tim Henson of Polyphia is not in this episode. Few guitarists have been more innovative or influential since the mid 2010s. Also, a quick correction: I'm pretty sure you put a picture of Frank Iero instead of Ray Toro for My Chemical Romance. Thanks for this amazing series! Hope you return soon!

The guitar solo will always exist, like the saxophone or trumpet solos still exist. But like those, it will never have the prominence it once had.

The quality on here is still amazing even with limitations you make things great

St Vincent is such a unique artist. She’s absolutely one of my inspirations nowadays, along with the old masters, like Page, Rosetta, Green, the Kings et al.

I find that you can still see some areas of metal still keeping solos simple whilst others because a measuring contest with one of my favorite solos in newer metal being Sabaton's Stormtroopers which is similar to fire and the flames in its speed

Another amazing installment! This series has been absolutely incredible. Thank you so much for this beautiful work, and for everything you've done on Youtube! (one minor thing: I think that's a picture of Frank Iero from My Chemical Romance, not Ray Toro. I might be wrong though!)

The guitar work seen by people in their bedroom today is more complex than the guitar gods could have predicted. Amazing work that transcends Rock

A great ending to an even better series! I must say I was surprised you didnt mention Arctic Monkeys at all in this video, considering they were one of the first bands to explode thanks to the internet, and were extremely popular through the 2010's. I'd love to hear your thoughts about them!

Thanks for suggestiing Nebula. This video rocks on that platform. Glad I subscribed.

An amazing series, super well done and you've introduced me to some great new tunes. Thanks for your hard work!!

Wish Queens of the Stone Age got a mention. Oh well.

Your channel is always something that got me jazzed when a new video was released. I felt I always learned something new and inspired to go further down that rabbit hole. I've been told that i get really passionate about music. I think part of it comes from telling stories I have come across in my journey from pitstops like your channel lured me to go down different avenues. I will miss your channel but I will say that I have witnessed 1st had what you have gone through. I needed to take time off for myself and that time did help. I hope you get the time and space that gets you rejuvenated.

Hope to see you back before too long! Love your channel and all that you do!
