The 100 Greatest Guitar Solos Of All Time

[Da Pirates]

I don't think I've ever seen one of those lists where Stairway to Heaven isn't number one.

 

 

 

Now, I'm not a huge music buff, and I like that song too, but surely sometimes people will think there's something better?

 

 

 

And is the list based on difficulty, originality, or what? What's "greatest"?

 

 

 

Not A Rick Roll.

 

 

 

 

 

MCR? That's worse than A Rick Roll!

They aren't that bad. Though they shouldn't touch any guitar list, certainly.

Adio said solos suck. Which seems to a bit too strong. I'm not a fan of long solos either, because most of the time they seem to be nothing more than an ordinary display of a technical ability. Some kind of trick, that adds nothing to the song. There are exceptions on the rule of course.

 

I wasn't going to post anything, but because I disagree with you for once here Daan, I will ;) I think guitar solos are often the best part of songs, they put you in the shoes of the artist and put you in a temporary high, as if you're playing yourself, simply because the instrumental part if easiest to blend in to. It's probably also one of the major reasons I listen to so much post-rock and progressive rock; good instrumental music somehow sounds so much more pure and does more to me than most other music.

 

 

 

I didn't check the list though, i don't really like listing subjective things from great to less great.
