Location: PDX | Some blogger compiled some videos from Guitar World's list of "100 Greatest Guitar Solos".
Disagree with the rankings, sure, but the videos are pretty good to browse through.

On an outdoor stage this summer (Portland Saturday Market) I enjoyed this guy playing Little Wing on a Five-String Bass! That was pretty cool. Just a thought... |

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. |

Location: Lake Hiawatha, New Jersey | As much as a Neil Young as I am, I've never been a huge fan of his lead / electric playing. 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. |

Location: CT | Neil Young lead guitar? Easy. Pick a note, play it, play it again, over and over, same note, 20 bars later play a different note, then back to the original note...... |

| 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. |
