Guitarists

What makes a guitar solo great goes beyond a guitarist's technical ability. A guitar solo is a personal expression through an instrument, and the notes guitarists play and how they play them complement the song in a particular way and convey a plethora of emotions. The message can be simple or complex, the techniques classic or innovative, but the result is always unique. And we, as listeners, resonate with the human element of the guitar solo.

In this gallery, we've compiled some of the greatest guitar solos of all time. We don't rank them, because to do so wouldn't really be fair. The list of great guitar solos is extensive, but here are 30 of the best. Click on and see if you agree.
