The Best Mastodon Guitar Solos

Mastodon brought a feral, eclectic lead-guitar voice to 21st-century metal, largely thanks to Brent Hinds's banjo-derived hybrid picking and psychedelic, country-tinged phrasing. Paired with Bill Kelliher's riffing and dense harmony lines, their solos pulled prog ambition and sludge weight into the same frame.
