10 Most Criminally Underrated Alter Bridge Songs You Must Hear

5. Wayward One

Sophomore album Blackbird was when things really started to take off, its tracklist being one of the greatest rock albums of all time, and what I'd recommend to any AB newbie looking to get into the band.

Wayward One actually ended the original pressing of the disc, its ebb and flow showcasing Myles' vocal abilities yet again. However, as Mark would highlight in choosing this song's solo as one to break down on his tutorial The Sound and The Story DVD, it's a piece that has all the hallmarks of a quintessential Tremonti solo.

Opening bends that elevate the composition nicely? Check. Liberal use of legato patterns that are neatly picked and then flow out into the more standard one-handed technique? Check. An overall feel that wraps up the album nicely and signs off Blackbird as one hell of a statement of intent? Double check, and don't spare the wah pedals.
