Top 20 Guitar Solos Ever, With Videos

[tommy1986]

Wow, what a crappy list.

''Floods'' is a great solo, but very simple to play. The best solo on that whole cd (The Great Southern Trendkill) is 10's, by far.

No Zakk Wylde?

Metallica is pathetic.

Kurt Kobain is a joke to guitarists.

Ritchie Blackmore is completely overrated.

Billy Corgan plays guitar?


Any of the three Dio guitarists put them to shame. ''Rainbow in the Dark'' makes those songs look like ''Hot Cross Buns.''

LOL we think alike when it comes to guitar. Almost every song on that list is overrated IMO, at least when it comes to good guitaring.

that list is generic; no Cacophony w/ Jason Becker and Marty Friedman? Steve Vai? Joe Satriani? Ozzy's other guitarists (Jake E. Lee, Zakk Wylde)?

Oh no, don't mention Friedman at all!


They didn't have enough room after putting Metallica on there...


Friedman's left pinkie > Everyone on the top 20 except for maybe Eric Johnson


It's a shame about Jason Becker. All that talent just went down the drain.

your thoughts?

I think floods should be up higher. i also think one of kerry king's solo's should also be up there.

Also freebird should be higher then eruption IMO.


And i will take a bass solo over a guitar solo any day. no offense to any guitarists out there i just think the bass sounds cooler. It could also because i'm listening to primus at the moment and les claypool is the best. period.
