Top 10 Songs with the Saddest Guitar Solos

The Top Ten
1 Comfortably Numb - Pink Floyd

This song is about ebing alone and being drugged. The solo has a desperate and lonley feel to it. High Hopes on the other hand to me is very happy

2 Beyond The Realms Of Death - Judas Priest

The 1st solo (Glenn Tipton) - especially the last several notes of this solo break my heart and twist my soul. The song is about suicide.

This solo is soulful... The best...

By far #1 Must Listen to!

3 Where Were You - Jeff Beck
4 Tears in Heaven - Eric Clapton
5 Midnight Blues - Gary Moore
6 High Hopes - Pink Floyd

The backing riff might sound joyful but the solo is very very sad

7 Black Star - Yngwie

This is an instrumental but it has 2 distinct solos that are very sad. The entire piece is very sad and I feel the existential loneliness all the time.

8 Soldier Of Fortune - Deep Purple
9 So Far Away - Avenged Sevenfold
10 Brothers in Arms - Dire Straits
The Contenders
11 Bohemian Rhapsody - Queen (1st solo)

The second solo may not be sad as first one that's why I wrote 1st solo with the song.

12 Blackbird - Alter Bridge
13 Story of the Blues - Gary Moore
14 Sometimes I Feel Like Screaming - Deep Purple
15 November Rain - Guns N' Roses

Whole song is quite sad really.

16 Fade to Black - Metallica
17 The Best of Times - Dream Theater
18 Maggot Brain - Funkadelic

Best song ever

19 Seize the Day - Avenged Sevenfold

Who wouldn't want a ghost playing that solo on your coffin as you descend into your eternal slumber.

20 Farewell Ballad - Zakk Wylde

Ever heard a guitar weep? Cry out all the pain of a lost band member?

This is the most emotional instrumental solo I've ever heard!

21 Wake Me Up When September Ends - Green Day
22 Since I've Been Loving You - Led Zeppelin
23 Floods - Pantera

Ah, no. The solo was creepy and boring. The outro was saddening. Which wasn't a solo.

I like this one, it's deep and played with skill. RIP Dimebag Darrell

24 I Wont See You Tonight (Part 1) - Avenged Sevenfold

The entire song is just sad in just every aspect.

25 The Loner - Gary Moore
