Youtube guitar "covers" that nail it

dindude

You know the ones amongst the sea of copy guitar solos that just seem to nail it, not necessarily the most accurate but nail the vibe.

These would be my top two picks, one has a lot of hits and one not so many, both very good indeed. Post your favs here.

William Williamson

Definitely this cover of Altitudes:

This one immediately springs to mind.

And this one.

@"William Williamson" wow awarded within the first three notes.

Here's a good one... absolutely flawless and helped me no end with actually learning the solo as well.



This always gets me as well. Fantastic. Especially all three parts blended at the end.

I suppose a special mention must go to this guy, not playing one song but utterly nailing the styles of 30 different guitarists in one video.

BRISTOL86

Not specifically for the solo but this cover really nailed the vibe for me - whilst putting his own take on it - and really wanted to make me learn the song.

Absolutely love this guys take on a Satriani classic.Who says shredders don't have feel?

guitarfishbay

These guys have done a bunch of 80s shred/hair stuff really well.
