the hendrix machine gun solo is considered by many to be the greatest of all time idk, my personal favorite may be sultans of swing or one of the many epic david gilmour solos what's your favorite guitar solo? https://open.spotify.com/track/7jwmwJilMUCnDuFKdJcWzV?si=pBqDP3WUQJKp4m1YsyCIRg

Although at one time he said he hated it, one of my favorites is Slash sweet child or mine

yeah that's a great solo haven't thought about that song in forever and then someone recently asked me to play it it's a really good tune (also can't forget the *two* november rain solos)

those solos are very good too, I generally like Slash's style ๐Ÿ˜Ž I didn't know you played too, I've always wanted to learn but I guess not everyone has the talent ๐Ÿซฃ๐Ÿ˜‰

i have been blessed w talented friends to learn from, and now i like to teach music too never been a shredder but i studied a lot of theory as a kid and i'd spend hours recording solos to tape and breaking them down phrase by phrase

That's right, it is a great advantage to have groups of friends with the same taste and even more so if they are talented, I know what you are talking about teaching, I am a mathematics teacher and it gives satisfaction being able to help others learn, it is never too late to learn, I think I still have time to try

100% agree and math and music have a lot in common, it's mostly learning intervals, relationships between notes, becoming familiar w that playing w feel is the hardest part once that technical stuff clicks

You tell it to me in that language and I feel like I understand it. I think what I struggle with a bit is the practice. My fingers are a bit thick and apparently a bit clumsy, but I also admit that I haven't set out to do it as I should. I agree, feeling it is crucial.

it does take a lot of obsessive hours, which are in higher supply early in life a simple lesson - play a fourth (e.g. C and F) - play a fifth (e.g. C and G) make sure you're using the ones closest together... a fourth is 5 half steps up, a fifth is 7 listen to the difference between them (it's challenging bc they're the same relationship, inverted) then play a third (C and E) listen to the change between a third and a fourth (move C and E to C and F) and then to a fifth move it around the neck (G, B, C and D) stay in that world until you get really comfortable and know those sounds blind it's a solid foundation for ear training and some basic musical structure
