If it wasn’t for YouTube people like me, who don’t play instruments, would have no clue how skilled these guitarists really are unless we’d seen them play it in the flesh that is.

It’s unbelievable what’s possible on a guitar and there’s a handful of musicians who were destined for it. I unfortunately, wasn’t one of them.

Firstly, John Butler Trio. His experience stems from years of busking in Australia before releasing some really great albums to critical acclaim. This track, Ocean, has evolved and developed since he first started playing guitar and you can hear it’s got a certain age to it. I’ve seen him play this live and the composition is slightly different every time.

If I was to pick my favourite guitar solo -- this would be it. All 13 glorious minutes of it. It’s incredible.

Another amazing musician is Andy McKee. This song is from his album, Art of Motion.
