The 18 Best Guitar Solos of the 2010s

The 2010s proved the guitar solo was alive and well, from Guthrie Govan's solo on Steven Wilson's "Drive Home" (2013) to Derek Trucks' slide on "Midnight in Harlem" (2011) and St. Vincent's fuzz on "Rattlesnake" (2014). This list spans prog, blues, indie and metal, and every video starts right at the solo.
