First up, at number 20, with 0.57% of your votes, is Martin Barre's solo on Aqualung by Jethro Tull. The title track of the 1971 album that sold over 7,000,000 copies worldwide features a stunning melodic solo from Barre, who completed the take despite the considerable distraction of Jimmy Page wandering in from a Led Zeppelin session in the next studio and waving at him from the control room.

#20 is Martin Barre's Aqualung solo

Didn’t take time to read the article but David Gilmore’s Comfortably Numb has to be on there.

Donald Roeser [Buck Dharma] of BOC gets *no* mention at all?

That’s not a list.

Not one Eric Clapton selection makes this list a joke. Have they never heard "Cocaine?"

And the best Eagles solo wasn't Hotel California, it was "One of These Nights."

#1 - Dazed and Confused Led Zeppelin

Either the studio version or the 26 minute live Song Remains the Same version

Nothing comes close

One of THE BEST Guitar solos ever. If this doesn’t get your heart beating....well you’re dead.

Mark Tremonti (Creed/Alter Bridge) is a truly talented guitarist, but I’m sorry. He has done nothing THAT worthy to be the top gun on the list.

Steve Vai, one of Tremonti’s teachers only pulled no. 8 with “For the love of God” Come on!!! Who made this list?

If you never heard it, go here and be seriously impressed.

Claptons second lead on Crossroads from Wheels of Fire is the single greatest guitar lead ever recorded and I’m not responding to or reading anything from anyone who disagrees

Hah!

Ok, husband is lead guitar player in two bands (sidelines - not his day job :) ) He says Jimmie Page in Stairway to Heaven and Eagles Hotel California.

I personally have no idea. More into vocals.

Obviously Wes Montgomery was never “a guitarist”. Nor Howard Roberts.

I could easily name lots more Not-Guitarist-Guitarists. ... Hmm
