Greatest Guitar Solos
Craig linked to this list of the 100 Greatest Guitar Solos of all time and as a guitarist I had to check it out. In general it’s a pretty good list. I agree with most of them and have a big chunk of them in my collection already but it’s perhaps pointed out a few gaps I need to fill. But seriously, number 40? Steely Dan? Who’s idea was that?
Anyway, here’s the top 10…
- Jimmy Page - Stairway to Heaven (of course)
- Eddie Van Halen - Eruption (can’t argue)
- Lynyrd Skynyrd - Freebird
- Dave Gilmour (Pink Floyd) - Comfortably Numb (nice)
- Jimi Hendrix - All Along the Watchtower (yeh baby!)
- Slash (Guns n’ Roses) - November Rain (sweet)
- Kirk Hammet (Metallica) - One (good choice)
- Don Felder / Joe Walsh (The Eagles) - Hotel California (classic)
- Randy Rhoads - Crazy Train
- Eric Clapton - Crossroads (would be a crime if EC didn’t make the top 10)
