January 8, 201214 yr I am pretty sure that we've had at least one thread about this in the past, but I was curious as to what the BGP music minds thought of this list? http://www.nme.com/list/50-greatest-guitar-solos/255704/page/5
January 8, 201214 yr A good list, but for me, there are many missing or many I'd list higher. I'll just duplicate a list of mine from another thread on this topic. 10) Brighton Rock - Brian May - Queen 9) Sultans Of Swing - Mark Knopfler - Dire Straits 8) Blues Deluxe - Joe Bonamassa 7) Voodoo Child - Jimi Hendrix 6) Cortez The Killer - Neil Young 5) Statesboro Blues - Duane Allman At Fillmore East - Allman Brothers Band 4) 25 Or 6 To 4 - Terry Kath - Chicago T3) Maggot Brain - Edie Hazel - Funkadelic T3) Whole Lotta Love - Jimmy Page - Led Zeppelin T2) Stranglehold - Ted Nugent T2) Crossroads - Eric Clapton 1) Comfortably Numb - David Gilmour - Pink Floyd
January 8, 201214 yr Like him or not, Eddie Van Halen has to be on the list somehow. As far as just a guitar player and being the greatest, I'll take Satriani as #1.
January 8, 201214 yr I was surprised that Comfortably Numb did not make the top 10.Yeah, that really leaves me .
January 8, 201214 yr Is this list only for electric guitars or acoustics, too? Some of the latter players produce a good sound, especially classical.
January 8, 201214 yr Like him or not, Eddie Van Halen has to be on the list somehow. As far as just a guitar player and being the greatest, I'll take Satriani as #1. Eric Johnson could give "satch" a run for the top spot. http://youtu.be/15eu7ar5EKM Go to 2:20 if you want the beginning of what you would here on radio.

January 8, 201214 yr Of the ones on the list that I really like... Smells Like Teen Spirit All Along The Watchtower Stairway To Heaven Sweet Child O' Mine Carry On My Wayward Son Last Nite Free Bird November Rain Not on the list, but should be... My Sharona
January 9, 201214 yr A good list, but for me, there are many missing or many I'd list higher. I'll just duplicate a list of mine from another thread on this topic. 4) 25 Or 6 To 4 - Terry Kath - Chicago His solo in the full version of Make Me Smile is equal.

January 10, 201214 yr This isn't greatest guitar players, just solos in a song. I know. Eddie should still be on the list. Eruption maybe....

My Sharona Richard Williams doesn't get credit, but he's an amazing lead. I'm going to see him and the rest of Kansas a month from tomorrow.
January 10, 201214 yr His solo in the full version of Make Me Smile is equal.:thumb: Kath is greatly underrated.
