No Frampton? Weak.
They left out Luther Perkins and Chet Atkins completely.
Very nice. Can’t believe they left out David Gilmour, but at least Knopfler was in there.
Bill Kirchen does a better job at this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gsLdufJePz0
and Roy Clark
He should have started with “Rock around the Clock,” considered by many to be the first “true” guitar solo on a hit song.
He left out GFR.
Bit he provided musical credence (who he also left out) to the fact rock/pop/whatever-you-want-to-call-it music in the 90’s to present sucked (and continues to do so).
Comfortably Numb is the best Solo ever. Gilmour is a god!!!!!
I think his second solo on “Dogs” is better.
Did I miss where he did Stevie Ray Vaughan? Or are they just stupid? (maybe he’s just not a good enough guitarist to play SRV...)
I still like the ‘Brick in the Wall’ solo.
Randy Rhoads made hard rock/metal sound “beautiful”...miles ahead of all of em...
He is missed...Top of the Heap imo.....Though Jake E. Lee did as well as anyone could after RR left us.
But believe it or not...i put Danny Gatton at the top as far as guitar skills.
Lenny Breau was a freak also.....check him out...not most folks style but man did he understand the guitar.
Absolutely. There are several of Gilmour’s solos that could have made this list.
Most of those were just riffs.
anyway...
I’ve always been partial to Frank Zappa’a solo on Apostrophe’s “Uncle Remus”.
Who? (That's right, not a glitter dressed longhaired hippie.)
Thanks for the link - cool history.
One could do 40 years of guitar solos just with Alex Lifeson.
