Eric's tone is simply unmistakable: melodic, elegant, goosebump-inducing. You can always hear him out among hundreds of guitarists and he doesn't even have to follow the maxim of many guitar heroes, which often follows the motto: faster, shriller, more spectacular. For me it's definitely the best of the three solos.

Very, very nice solo Rick. If I closed my eyes and heard you play that solo... I would have thought it was Frampton. You hit his style perfectly. Just as easily as anyone could recognize Carlos Santana guitar sound. 🎸 Very amazing 👏 and profound!

Great idea, Rick....All of you did masterful alternate rides. Any one of them could very well have been the solo that all local "Guitar Gods" (and their apprentices) would be trying to cover note-for-note, just like so many of us HAD to do with Page's solo from the very first time we heard the tune. And for good reason, as it turns out, given how popular the song quickly became & still is to this day. Only wish I had a dollar in my wallet for every time it has been requested of us at a gig.....I could build myself another Harley & have $$ left over. (Well, that may be a slight exaggeration...Better throw "Free Bird" in there, too. Scooter parts are not cheap) 🤔 But I know you get my point. I was actually getting a little burned out on the tune as a whole, and then saw Ann & Nancy Wilson do it with Bonham, Jr., & that incredible back-up ensemble....Wow. Anyway, Rick, an interesting presentation from you today, as usual. I am a dedicated fan & admirer of your work....Keep it comin' Buddy 👍😉😎🎸

And now we will never be able to hear them together again. RIP Eddie Van Halen, it sucks they never got to truly mend their friendship. I really was hoping for a reunion tour with Eddie and Sammy again but we will never see Van Halen again. R.I.P.

Eric Johnson is an absolute monster of a player, bit such a calm and down to earth guy in person. You can tell through his playing that everything he doesn't emote or say outwardly, he says and expresses through his guitar. This was a great video and looking forward to more!

Rick. Hands down Your solo is the winner !!!! Second solo was great no doubt. And Eric Johnson solo third place. In my humble opinion it was non cohesive … You had me from the beginning you’re are amazing my friend !!!!

I've never appreciated Page more than I do at this moment. All those solos were cool- but nothing compares.

Phil really nailed the EVH sound, Rick did an amazing job at producing Frampton's phrasing, and Eric is just, well.....Eric (always amazing), but as good as they are, it does show, IMO, that nobody could have done it as well as Jimmy DID do it. It really is the perfect solo.

I dig em all. Cool. Some people say "Why?" Because, dang it. When nobody does music dies. Been playing forty years. You never stop.

@@RickBeato Nice concept. Would like to see a part 2 that would be more radical, various guitarists playing in their own styles 1. Adam Rogers or Julina Lage (great jazz guitarists but who play multiple styles) 2. Charles Caswell of Berried Alive (Highly innovative) 3. Charles Berthoud (bass solo as fluent and melodic as a guitarist) 4. Yvette young (innovative ) 5. Sean Angus Watson ( beautifully melodic and toneful) this could be done with the given backing track or re-made one in different styles of Stairway, jazz version, metal etc or no particular style -open - or perhaps another classic song not quite as over done as Stairway maybe Heart, "Barracuda", Steely Dan Josie or Funkadelic - Maggot Brain (this one could also be a What Makes This Song Great? One of the best guitar solos in my opinion ) thanks, your my favorite music theory channel, learned a lot -can you set up some live jams ? like guitar, bass, drums, vibes, any instruments, all jamming from different youtube channels at the same time live? again, thanks rick, for so many inspiring videos
