It was the decade full of blistering shredders, but the greatest solos weren’t just about melting faces—they were about moving hearts. Some of the most unforgettable licks came from guitarists you’ve never heard of… players who sounded like they were channeling something divine. One guitar icon, Eddie Van Halen, delivered an all-time classic solo as a personal favor to Michael Jackson… It’s probably the most famous solo of its time & he didn’t get paid a thing for it. And it contributed to keeping his own band out of #1, see what I mean next... and then there’s the legendary guitarist who’s solo was too complicated for the band so the producer told him to play something really simple so this legend played the cheesiest most simple solo he could and it became the best part of the song! So many great stories and special guests as we’re opening up the case, plugging into the amp, and counting down the Top 10 Guitar Solos of the 80s... NEXT on Professor of Rock!
