Joined: December 2001 Posts: 7211 Location: The Great Pacific Northwest | Interesting list, although I only think about 1/2 the ones listed belong in the top 20, but it's all subjective. Some I can think of are Europa, Sultans of Swing, Easy Like Sunday Morning, Who's Cry'n Now, Crazy Train just to name a few. | ||

I know that he's good, but I've never found his solos very interesting. I prefer his acoustic stuff. When I've seen CSNY, Stills stole the show in the "guitar solo" department. | ||

Joined: November 2004 Posts: 4413 | I assume this is rock guitarists only. Knopfler should definitely be in there. Peter Green should be in there. The Skunk Musically speaking that Eric Johnson piece is light years above anything else on the list (with the possible exception of EVH) - its incredible. I've never listened to the guy before, but he has a new fan. | ||
