We polled members of the Guitar Department at Berklee College of Music on what they think are the best guitar songs. We were going to suggest they reach out with their favorite guitar solos<\/em>, but that felt too limiting. If their favorite guitar-based song was their favorite guitar-based song because<\/em> of its solo, we encouraged them to write about that one, by all means, but we were thinking about Wes Montgomery\u2019s \u201cIn Your Own Sweet Way,\u201d which doesn\u2019t feel like a solo, per se, as much as it is just really great guitar work. <\/p>\n\n\n\n STUDY GUITAR AT BERKLEE ONLINE<\/strong><\/a><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n We also let them know that their picks didn\u2019t even have to be a virtuosic display, because \u201cI Can’t Explain<\/a>\u201d contains an energy in its three-chord riff that some of the most talented players may never be able to achieve, right? For some of our instructors it was difficult to pare their selections down to just one, so if they asked for more, we let them send us more picks (no pun intended). Those additional tunes are on Spotify<\/a> (and in the embed below this paragraph). We just wanted to share with our readers the songs that strike a chord with your instructors. (This time, the pun was intended!)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
