What's you opinon on this list of greatest guitar solos?
Really good list. I've always liked the solo in One by Metallica. Stairway to Heaven is always a shoo-in for #1. I think Voodoo Child should be higher though.
Reply:There's some great ones on there,





But Kurt Cobain should NOT be anywhere on that list.





He couldn't play worth a ****.





Other than that, it sounds like a politically correct classic rock who's who of guitar solos.
Reply:Omg, that's pretty awesome! thanks for sharing.
