Att inte solot i "Salisbury" med Uriah Heep inte ens är med på listan är fan helt otroligt.Måste vara Elvis Costello eller nån som knåpat ihop det här.

Hitta den här på hårddisken...lite motiveringar iaf.

The Artist: CHUCK BERRY
The Song: Johnny B. Goode The Year: 1955

All of Chuck's leads were vital to the development of the "rock n' roll guitar hero", but this one remains his quintessential and most-copied piece of work to date.

The Artist: ERIC CLAPTON
The Song: Crossroads
The Year: 1968

Guitarists had been experimenting with bluesy ideas for years by the time that Cream rolled around, but it was Slowhand's tour-de-force that set the standard for extended solos, blues-based or not.

The Artist: JIMI HENDRIX
The Song: Voodoo Child (Slight Return)
The Year: 1968

Beyond a shadow of a doubt, Jimi's playing in this showcase from Electric Ladyland is the preeminent wah workout of all time.

The Artist: JIMMY PAGE
The Song: Heartbreaker
The Year: 1969

The first, big, unaccompanied shredfest. Who cares if it's a bit sloppy in places? You try to create something as godlike as this.

The Artist: JIMI HENDRIX
The Song: Star-Spangled Banner
The Year: 1969

In front of the original Woodstock crowd, Hendrix tore into a psychedelic, mesmerizing rendition of America's National Anthem. So scary and innovative it makes hair on your teeth stand on end.

The Artist: JIMI HENDRIX
The Song: Machine Gun
The Year: 1970

Another scorcher from the Master of the Stratocaster: with violent whammy bar abuse, feedback, a multitude of effect employment, and a lovely control of noise, this is probably the most incredible live solo ever recorded.

The Artist: JEFF BECK
The Song: 'Cause We've Ended As Lovers
The Year: 1975

As gut-wrenching as they come. Jeff's heartfelt version of this Stevie Wonder-penned love classic bests even the original.

The Artist: CARLOS SANTANA
The Song: Europa (Earth's Cry Heavens Smile)
The Year: 1976

Passionate tone, divine melody, and glorious sustain. And all these terms fall short of fully describing Santana's uplifting dazzler from Amigos.

The Artist: DON FELDER and JOE WALSH
The Song: Hotel California
The Year: 1976

The outro solo in this Eagles classic is twin guitar bliss. After trading licks several times, Felder and Walsh finally unite for a tense harmonization that makes this piece unforgetable. It's easily as important as the rest of the song.

The Artist: EDWARD VAN HALEN
The Song: Eruption
The Year: 1978

You already know why Eddie's trademark performance is special. If you don't, go and purchase Van Halen immediately, and see why this is the most influencial solo in history.

The Artist: DAVID GILMOUR
The Song: Comfortably Numb
The Year: 1979

Found on Pink Floyd's The Wall, Gilmour laid down tasteful, melodic passeges that only heighten an extraordinary track. Like "Hotel California", this song wouldn't be the same without the solo (in this case, two solos).

The Artist: RANDY RHOADS
The Song: Crazy Train The Year: 1980

Ozzy Osbourne's young prodigy defined how a short but deadly solo can fit in a heavy metal context.

The Artist: RANDY RHOADS
The Song: Mr. Crowley
The Year: 1980

Another fantastic contribution from Ozzy's Blizzard of Ozz. In this, the late Randy had two lead spots in which he filled with classical motifs, rapid-fire ascending and descending runs, speed, and an acicular sense of theoretical melody.

The Artist: EDWARD VAN HALEN
The Song: Beat It
The Year: 1982

While recording Michael Jackson's Thriller, producer Quincy Jones phoned Eddie and asked if he could lay down a hot solo for an upbeat R & B/rock number. Not only were Van Halen's licks incendiary beyond belief, but it also arguably marked the first time a heavy metal solo was used on a "black" record, helping to further bridge the gap between "black" and "white" music.

The Artist: STEVIE RAY VAUGHAN
The Song: Texas Flood
The Year: 1983

Building upon old blues masters, SRV displayed a virtual encyclopedia of his style on the title track of his debut album. Stevie then went on to single-handedly rescue the blues from tedium and obscurity.

The Artist: YNGWIE MALMSTEEN
The Song: Far Beyond the Sun
The Year: 1984

Yngwie's finest hour, or should we say finest four minutes. From start to finish, a masterwork of the Swede's revolutionary neo-classical vocabulary. New standards of technique rocketed into the stratosphere after this one.

The Artist: JOE SATRIANI
The Song: Always With Me, Always With You
The Year: 1987

Satch proved he could be quite lyrical in his approach with this great instrumental "ballad" from Surfing With the Alien. Anyone from 14-year-old girls to the most hardened headbangers could appreciate his playing on this song.

The Artist: STEVE VAI
The Song: For the Love of God
The Year: 1990

Hauntingly gorgeous speed and feel. Steve packed everything he was capable of in this emotional track.

The Artist: ERIC JOHNSON
The Song: Cliffs of Dover
The Year: 1990

This tune has one fabulous turn after another. You can't improve on this.

The Artist: JERRY CANTRELL
The Song: Them Bones
The Year: 1992

Okay, so it's not the easiest thing in the world to pick a solo from the post-shred era. There's simply not much to choose from. So we'll just select a modern classic from Alice in Chains' Dirt, "Them Bones".


Honorable Mentions
There are dozens we left out, so here's twenty other examples of other solos deserve to be mentioned (in no particular order):
"Stairway to Heaven" - Jimmy Page (Led Zeppelin), 1971
"Mr. Scary" - George Lynch (Dokken), 1987
"Layla" - Eric Clapton, Duane Allman (Derek and the Dominoes), 1971
"Freebird" - Ed King, Gary Rossington, and Allen Collins (Lynyrd Skynyrd), 1973
"Whole Lotta Love" - Jimmy Page (Led Zeppelin), 1969
"And Your Bird Can Sing" - George Harrison (The Beatles), 1966
"Red House" - Jimi Hendrix, 1968
"Rock Around the Clock" - Danny Cedrone (Bill Haley and the Comets), 1955
"Kree Nakoorie" - Yngwie Malmsteen (Alcatrazz), 1983
"White Room" - Eric Clapton (Cream), 1968
"Reelin' in the Years" - Elliot Randell (Steely Dan), 1972
"Call It Sleep" - Steve Vai, 1984
"Are You Experienced?" - Jimi Hendrix, 1967
"Highway Star" - Ritchie Blackmore (Deep Purple), 1971
"Jessica" - Dickie Betts (Allman Brothers Band), 1973
"Badge" - Eric Clapton (Cream), 1969
"Spanish Fly" - Edward Van Halen, 1979
"Mean Street" - Edward Van Halen, 1981
"Cathedral" - Edward Van Halen, 1982
"Satch Boogie" - Joe Satriani, 1987

Bra skrivet min son. Jgg ser att du inte lagt in några fjollgrupper som tex Metallica eller Guns och det tycker jag är bra då dessa grupper inte har så mycket i "gitarrväg" att säga till om. Förvånad att du tar upp Edward Van Halen hela 4gånger eftersom det enda folk tänker på när dom hör Van Halen så är det ERUPTION. Grymt helt enkelt. glöm inte liveversionen av 316

För övrigt så är det även mysigt att du nämner Jeff Beck och Eric Johnson som båda är VÄLDIGT underskattade gitarrister....dom flesta tänker enbart på Vai Malmsteen och Satriani när man pratar bra gitarrister. David Gilmour vet vi sen länge att han kan leverera riktigt underbara solon med ett väldigt mysigt ljud på gitarren. GEORGE LYNCH och Ray Vaughan är oxså 2 bortglömda gitarrikoner.....Lynch hade sin storhetstid under 80talet men har alltid fått stå i skuggan mot dom mer väletablerade MTV-banden. Blir nästan tårögd när jag läser

Var är Petrucci, var är Buckethead, var är Vai Gilbert och Satriani? Och förklara för mig vad i helvete Guns gör på listan, visst Guns är skitsköna och gör jävligt bra musik men Slash solo's är definitivt inte Top40 klass.

Van Halen är helt rätt på listan iaf, men Beat It omnämns inte av någon anledning?

Håller med. J Mascis solon är bland de få som inte tråkar ut mej.

Vad jag gillar med J. är just det att att han kan börja en låt med ett gitarrsolo och sen fortsätta köra samma solo genom hela låten i princip.

Dvs. all gitarr som hörs genom en hel låt är ett låångt gitarrsolo. Finns några andra som försökt och dom är också bra...

Kommentarer:

Guns n roses - bort med dom från listan.

Lynyrd Skynyrd - Free bird Fattar inte varför så många höjer det här solot. Det är, enligt mig, ett ganska enformigt och ospännande solo. Twin duels ska dessutom inte hålla på hur många minuter som helst... Nej jag kan tänka mig många andra Lynyrd-låtar som kommer före.

Jethro Tull - Aqualung En av dom absolut bästa grupperna över huvud taget. Martin Barre är en smakfull gitarrist, men det var först senare i karriären som han började leverera riktigt schyssta solon.

Wishbone Ash - Throw down the sword Ofattbart att man väljer det solot. Dom har släppt massvis med plattor och man kan hitta mängder av gittarr-guldkorn som klassar ut den här låten. F.U.B.B är en av mina favoriter.

Gary Moore - Still got the blues Men faan.... karln har ju gjort så jäkla många enormt sköna och svängiga blues-solon. Den här låten är bara ytterligare en variant på ett tema som han ofta återkommit till på sina skivor.

Frank Zappa - Willie the pimp Om man bara ska ha med en Zappa-låt så går det inte att komma förbi Watermelon in easter bay. Har ni inte hört den så är jag avundsjuk på er - leta reda på den och njut av upptäckten!!

Men ok - hamnade man på ett hak där dom spelade låtar från den här listan hela kvällen så skulle man ju bli nöjd ändå...
