      @@CatherinePearl100I'm a musician. I've never written anything that didn't come out of me naturally. It's whatever I'm feeling at that moment. And a lot of the time it comes out more "complicated" than music that's more conventional. I love music that requires your attention, but I also love to lay back and groove or do something smooth and slow. It's all from my soul and emotions. And it's not just shredders that play a lot of notes. Mozart, Vince Gill, Coltrane and on and on. But If that music doesn't speak to you, there's nothing wrong with that.

Legend has it he only learned the chords hours before. He doesn't even show up until the end of the song. But watch the clip. The other greats on stage go from being a bit annoyed to realizing the moment they were watching was transcendental. Also surprised to see no John frusciante on the list.

    Perhaps off on some, but you hit the nail on the head with Jimmy Page’s Stairway to Heaven solo for number one …. especially the live version at Madison Square Garden which was a glorious extended version.

    Alex Lifeson is one of the most musically talented guitarists of all time. He was able to find places to shine in every song, and didn't need to be flashy to be powerful.
    Freewill is such an interesting choice for this list, it's a 3 person individual jam session that just happens to work with the context of the original thematic passage of the song. You could have put Alex or Geddy on this list for that section and either one would have been acceptable.

    Eruption at #21???? I'm sorry but...are you out of your f'ing minds?!?!? Anything less than #1 is an insult. In the hands of Eddie Van Halen, a guitar ceased to be a musical instrument and became a living thing. Eruption is unequalled. And Don Felder & Joe Walsh should be #2.

      I haven’t made it to that part of the video but eruption isn’t a better solo than Jimi Hendrix machine gun at the filmore east…. Eruption is just a bunch of flashy shred guitar with no feeling and no soul. He was just shredding. Very impressive shredding I might add… some of the best shredding of any guitarist for sure but… yeah it’s just shredding across the fretboard and it’s basically just flashy playing.
