In my opinion (and with all due respect to everyone who recorded after 1978), here, Eddie tells the history of rock guitar soloing in just two measures – from Chuck Berry to Eddie Van Halen.

I always find that I gravitate to one guitar for a while. It becomes the one I pick up by default until I end up rotating to something else […]

Al Anderson’s live lead on “No Woman, No Cry” with Bob Marley & The Wailers. One of my all-time favorite solos — and one I think is seriously underrated. 🎸

Curious what you all think: does this belong on the list of greatest live guitar solos, or is it too often overlooked?

Two scales. One exotic flavor. But what sets them apart?

🎧 If Phrygian whispers mystery and dark tension… Phrygian Dominant turns up the heat and demands to be heard.
Try playing E Phrygian vs. E Phrygian Dominant — you’ll hear the difference instantly. 💥
