Surely the intro to Little Wing is better than...well...anything else ever?
Jimmy Page, Eddie Van Halen, Kirk Hammet and co were all awesome but Jimi is just a world apart

What a ripoff, only one Yngwie Malmsteen solo listed in the top 100? COME ON. He is one of the greatest Guitarists of all time.

Sure would be sweet if they were to put all those songs on a CD. I would buy that puppy in a heartbeat.

No Fleetwood mac. Oh Wellllllll!

When I think of Fleetwood Mac, the last thing I think of is guitar solos. I was a little disappointed with the placement of Sympathy for the Devil... that guitar solo is sweet.

While rougher versions of ''Green Manalishi'' (Green's most psychedelic hour and a true indicator of where his mind was headed) and the gorgeous ''Man Of The World'' just leave one hungering for the finished originals, live versions of ''Oh Well'', or ''Jumping At Shadows'' (taken from the legendary Boston Tea Party gig) are simply stunning in their power. The latter is demonstration in itself of Green's mastery of tone and attack with nothing more than a vintage Les Paul and a Marshall stack. His mastery of the blues guitar remains more emotive than any other of his generation.

Excellent - Gilmour's 'Comfortably Numb' solo has always been my favourite. Came in at number four.

Never liked 'Eruption' by Eddie Van Halen though, always thought it was just a bunch of noise...

Apparently, there were no guitar solos after 1990

(Thank God)

Some good stuff in the list but how did they miss 'Juvenile Offender' by Little Angels?

I heard a great classic rock song yesterday on the radio, but I forget who sings it. 'Highway Song'. That has a great guitar solo at the end.
