Albums With the Best Guitar Solos by Goliath

« View previous chartView next chart »
In my little world there's nothing like a great guitar solo. This is my list of the solos I enjoy most. These are not on the list for the guitarist's technical skill, there are other solo's out there that are extremely difficult to play, but don't sound as good as these. No particular order after the top 3.

Top guitarists, in no particular order.
Michael Schenker
Tony Iommi
Jimmy Page
David Gilmour
Carlos Santana
Gary Moore
Slash
Glenn Tipton
Eric Clapton
Jimi Hendrix
Eddie Van Halen
Brian May
Randy Rhoads
Joe Walsh
Mark Knopfler

John Wesley's guitar solo in the title track is outstanding. I wish it wasn't faded out for so long at the end, so unnecessary. [First added to this chart: 02/19/2018]

After you visited the chart that I posted thought that I'd check out yours. Excellent chart and you're right, there's nothing like a great guitar solo. Some great choices here.
