10 Best Alter Bridge Tracks

2. Blackbird

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yz_j7nVCJJ0 Probably the band's greatest achievement, birthed from the most humble of beginnings; Myles paying tribute to one Mark Morse - the man who sold him his first guitar many moons ago. Landing them the top spot on Guitarist magazine's Best Guitar Solos of All Time list, everything from the subtly gorgeous fingerpicked intro to the enrapturing two-part solo that cemented Myles' talents in music history, it's topped off by Tremonti's furious tremolo picked section before the whole thing slowly fades away as it began. Enjoyable both as a suitably gigantic rock ballad and as an endlessly-rewarding introspective track should you get stuck into the motivations behind its creation (or try learning that solo in full), Blackbird's place near the top of their discography spoke for itself as soon as those first few notes rang out.
