Music listmaker The Man in Me goes full riff historian with a joyfully obsessive compilation charting the most iconic guitar solos by year, kicking off in 1965 with Jeff Beck tearing through “Heart Full of Soul” and racing all the way to 2024 with Phil Demmel alongside Kerry King on “Idle Hands”. It’s a fast-moving celebration of tone, technique, and perfectly timed note bending, the kind of list that makes you nod along, argue with yourself, and immediately want to plug in an amp. The full roster of guitar heroes is packed into the video description, just in case you feel like disappearing down a very loud rabbit hole.
