Lebanese Guitarist Turns Arabic Songs Into the Coolest Rock Solos

We love spotlighting Lebanese talent, and this insanely talented guitarist is taking our favorite Arabic songs to a whole new level with epic rock solos.

Alain Ibrahim, a music producer and multi-instrumentalist, has been blending his love for rock with popular Arabic songs and sharing it on social media. His most viral guitar solo is his rock rendition of “Bahebbak Wahashtini” by Hussain Al Jassmi and Sherine.

But our personal favorite is this guitar solo for “Ma Baddi Ella Shu Beni” by Ibrahim El Hakami. It’s exactly what the song needed, so maybe Alain can collab with Ibrahim El Hakami to make a 2025 rock version of the song?

His most impressive video by far is when he recreates Armenian violinist Samvel Yervinyan’s iconic violin solo on guitar. Given that the guitar is a fretted instrument—unlike the violin—his execution is just as impressive.

Make sure to follow him on Instagram for more of his cool content! You can leave a song request in the comments, and he might just add his own rock guitar solo to it.
