I see the 64 did not even include “Money For Nothing”. Which is probably the greatest intro ever, if not best guitar.

Good catch.
Mark Knopfler is a fantastic guitarist.

If you're talking Dire Straits, you have to go with the solo from Sultans of Swing.

I did not read the whole list, but one chord on Hard Days Night was better than a lot of these.
But, as someone who just listened (and never played) EVH has been one of the consistently good players.
In my old age, I have come to appreciate the Delta Blues a lot more, which has led me to appreciate the Keith Richards and Eric Clapton genre a lot more.
Its only rock n roll...

Sorry, the haunting intro to "Gimme Shelter" is so mesmerizing that it is a song in itself. I still get chills when I hear that intro. The dueling solo leads aren't bad either. Rock just doesn't get any better that that song, even with Charlie Watts' limited drum capabilities. But Watts sure new less was more when he brought the intro into the body of the song.
