Face-Melting Magic – Our Favorite Epic Guitar Solos of All Time

Some songs hit you with a lyric. These hit you with a riff.

There’s something timeless about a great guitar solo. Whether it’s Eric Clapton’s smooth outro in Layla, Tom Morello’s machine-like mastery in Gasoline, or the face-melting wizardry of DragonForce’s Through the Fire and Flames, guitar solos speak a universal musical language.

In this episode of Super Awesome Mix, Samer and Matt dig deep into 12 unforgettable tracks that feature iconic, underrated, and genre-spanning guitar solos. These aren’t just technically impressive — they’re emotionally unforgettable. From classic rock legends like Jimmy Page and Jimi Hendrix to unexpected choices like Michael Jackson’s Beat It (shout out to Eddie Van Halen), the mix is packed with riffs that shaped musical history and still melt faces to this day.
