MAJOR SCALE GUITAR SOLOS

Take major inspiration from these guitar legends who’ve made the scale their own...

1. Queen – Akindofmagic

Check out Brian May’s outro fireworks, all in A major.

2. Joan Jett – Iloverock’nroll

The song has some minor touches, but the solo is all major.

3. Joe Satriani – Alwayswithme, Alwayswithyou

Except for the middle dark section, Satch opts for major throughout.

4. The Beatles – Letitbe

Multiple versions exist, each with Harrison’s masterful major soloing.

5. Prince – Purplerain

This was the top major solo in TG’S recent 50 Greatest Solos poll.
