The 20 Greatest Guitar Solos

The new issue of Q magazine is a guitar heroes special, starring Jack White, Edge, Jimmy Page and dozens of other six string maestros. To celebrate, here’s the 20 greatest guitar solos ever, as compiled by a straw poll in the Q office and in no particular order.

The Guitar Heroes issue of Q magazine is on sale now.

1 - Pink Floyd, Comfortably Numb (from The Wall, EMI 1979)
What do you mean you prefer the Scissor Sisters’ version? David Gilmour’s languid solo sounds sounds just as effortlessly spectacular even when coupled with nonsensical imagery from Alan Parker’s rubbish 1982 film version of The Wall.

2 - Queen - Killer Queen (from Sheer Heart Attack, EMI 1974)
Brian May’s fretwork is upstaged by Freddie Mercury’s fur coat in this old Top Of The Pops performance.

3 - Led Zeppelin - Stairway To Heaven (from Led Zeppelin IV, Atlantic 1971 )
It is, of course, incredibly long, so let’s cut straight to Jimmy Page hammering his double-necked guitar.

Purpe haze - Jimi Hendrix

4 - Stone Roses, Love Spreads (from The Second Coming, Geffen 1994)
Talking of Jimmy Page – watch The Stone Roses’ John Squire do method Page in this US only video, which features a cameo from label-mate Beck.

5- Michael Jackson , Beat It (from Thriller, Epic 1982)
Metal fans will insist that Van Halen’s Eruption is the finest example of Eddie Van Halen’s fingerwork. Everyone else loves this.

PS. The quality is shocking but here’s Eddie playing live with Jackson.

6 - Guns & Roses , Sweet Child O’ Mine (from Appetite For Destruction, Geffen 1987)
The song, and the video, that made Slash a household name.

7- The Beatles , While My Guitar Gently Weeps (from The Beatles, Apple 1968)
George Harrison was never much of a guitar hero. Thankfully, Eric Clapton helped out with a memorable solo here.

8 - Steely Dan, Reelin In The Years (from Can’t Buy A Thrill, ABC 1972)
In the studio, session man Elliott Randall delivered what’s rumoured to be Jimmy Page’s all-time favourite guitar solo. Here’s the band on stage in the ‘70s.

9 - Muse, Knights Of Cydonia (from Black Holes And Revolutions, Warners 2006)
Matt Bellamy is on a one-man mission to keep the very notion of guitar heroism alive, cue ‘solo face, flying birds of prey and naked girls on unicorns at the appropriate moment in this video.

10 - Fleetwood Mac, Go Your Own Way (from Rumours, Warners 1977)
Lindsay Buckingham and friends on tour in 1997. There is footage of Buckingham and his gigantic afro in their ‘70s prime on Youtube but the link’s been disabled. It’s easy enough to find, though.

11 - Television , Marquee Moon (from Elektra 1977)
Television’s Tom Verlaine wanted to be John Coltrane but picked up a guitar instead of a saxophone. Here’s the reformed New York punks in Central Park last summer.

12 – Rage Against The Machine, Bullet In The Head (from Rage Against The Machine, Epic 1992)
Tom Morello rips and scratches like his guitar’s a turntable.

13 – Prince, Purple Rain (from Purple Rain, Warner 1984)
If Jimi Hendrix wore purple and high heels….

14- Neil Young & Crazy Horse, Like A Hurricane (from Live Rust, Reprise, 1979)
A triumph of punk rock noise over anything as tedious as technique, here’s Young on tour in 1978.

15 – AC/DC, Let There Be Rock (from Let There Be Rock, Atlantic 1977)
You’ll be expecting footage of Angus Young dressed as a school boy. You’d be wrong – here’s a rare outing for his choirboy get up.

16 – The Byrds, Eight Miles High (from Fifth Dimension, Columbia 1966)
The Byrds drone rock masterpiece was inspired by a trip to London, the “rain grey town” described in the track itself. This vide o is made up of footage shot by singer/guitarist Roger McGuinn on during a later trip to the capital.

17 - The Smiths, Some Girls Are Bigger Than Others (from The Queen Is Dead, Rough Trade 1986)
From the Smiths last ever show on 12 December 1986 at London’s Brixton Academy: guitarist Johnny Marr barely breaks sweat.

18 – David Bowie, Moonage Daydream (from The Rise And Fall Of Ziggy Stardust And The Spiders From Mars, RCA 1972)
Doesn’t Spiders’ guitarist Mick Ronson look like Spinal Tap’s David St Hubbins?

19 – Radiohead, The Bends (from The Bends, Parlophone 1995)
Johnny Greenwood drags the strings right off the fretboard during this vicious performance from Later With Jools Holland.

20 - The White Stripes, Ball And Biscuit (from Elephant, XL 2003)
An uncharacteristically flashy performance from Jack White. He should show off more regularly.

thom yorke looks oddly johnny rottenesque in that video

Posted by Taylor Shull at 05:32PM | July 31, 2007

AWFUL list. Beat It is a mediocre VH solo. Ice Cream Man, Push Comes to Shove, and Outta Love Again are FAR superior to anything on this list.

Posted by J.R. at 02:05AM | August 1, 2007

Eric Clapton played the solo on the White Album "...Guitar Gently Weeps" Other than that, a so-so list.

Posted by T. Thornton at 11:01AM | August 1, 2007

What, no "In Memory Of Elizabeth Reed" by the Allman Brothers? This list is nothing but Top 10 (or 20) crap. At least you don't include "Free Bird", that's good.

Posted by drp at 11:48AM | August 1, 2007

...not to mention a thousand live Jerry Garcia leads I can think of.

Posted by drp at 11:51AM | August 1, 2007

"Watermelon In Easter Hay" by Zappa.

Posted by drp at 11:52AM | August 1, 2007

That is a poor list. Listen to Hendrix (Machine Gun live), Jeff Beck (eg Rock My Plimsoul), Zappa (eg Filthy Habits 'live '88) or Jimmy Page (Walter's Walk or Whole Lotta Love, not Stairway to Heaven)

Posted by Tony F at 12:39PM | August 1, 2007

Posted by Tony F at 12:39PM | August 1, 2007

Left out the greats (except Stairway - Page & While My Guitar Gently Weeps - Clapton). Where's Jeff Beck!!!!! Where's Santana!!! HENDRIX?!!! & there are better examples of Page than Stairway.
Also, much as I hate the lyrics of Freebird, & have heard it so wayyyyy too much, the guitar solo there is really incredible.
NOT a very good list at all.

Posted by Teleri at 01:12PM | August 1, 2007

The author of this list shows no knowledge of guitar or music, just some enthusiasm for mostly disposable commericial rock. For starters, few of these players would be capable of keeping up for even a few bars with Charlie Christian, Les Paul, Pat Metheny, Joe Morris or dozens of other brilliant jazz guitarists. Another example of myopic rock narcissism.

Posted by gary keenan at 03:15PM | August 1, 2007

Duane Allman played guitar, I think.

Posted by Spence at 04:14PM | August 1, 2007

Moronic List as most, if not all, lists like this are. It's all according to opinion, but the omission of "Jessica" by the Allman Brothers, "Freebird" by Skynyrd and "Hotel California" by Eagles as just a few examples of why lists like this are futile.

Posted by Glenn at 04:29PM | August 1, 2007

A list of great gutar solos without Clapton, Santana, and Hendrix isn't credible. I'd even like to see Bruce Springsteen, Joni Mitchell, and Bob Dylan on the list.

Posted by Velma at 06:54PM | August 1, 2007

There is no mention of the parameters of this list but since there is no Robert Johnson, Jimi Hendrix, BB King, Robbie Robertson, Steve Cropper, T-Bone Walker, Charlie Christian, Buddy Holly, Keith Richards or Django Reinhardt, and since Fleetwood Mac is represented by Lindsay Buckingham and not Peter Green, I can only suppose that this is a list of guitar-heavy pop for the casual, uninformed listener and has no relevance to jazz, blues, rock & roll, R&B, soul etc. Such endeavors are designed to provoke but I don't think I have ever seen such a lame, musically hollow list as this one. A record of sorts, I suppose.

Posted by Matthew Zuckerman at 07:32PM | August 1, 2007

Satriani,Vai,Lifeson,Blackmore, Wylde Rhodesmissing and poor May and EVH choices make this poll a joke what makes it hilarious though is a top twenty guitar solo poll with an entry from the Smiths.

Posted by Artie Fufkin at 08:13PM | August 1, 2007

estan cagados si creen q esos son los 20 mejores solos,que revista tan cula

Posted by christian at 08:56PM | August 1, 2007

Where is Jimi Hendrix? This is not a list of greatest solos at all, its somebody's list of favorite artists. Those at the "Q office" need to listen to music once in while. They have neglected the greatest guitarists of all time: Eric Clapton, Robert Johnson, Michael Bloomfield, Robbie Robertson, Johnny Winter, and of course Jimi. I hope no one takes this embarassment seriously. Listen to the Star Spangled Banner or The Paul Butterfield Blues Band and then make a list. As it is, this list is pathetically naive and actually angering to anyone who knows anything about the guitar, its history, and the legends it has created.

Posted by Sam at 10:40PM | August 1, 2007

Great and interesting list. It's fun to have guitar solos included that one doesn't usually see in such lists. As for the exclusion of such standards as "Free Bird," "Hotel California," Jimi Hendrix, Stevie Ray Vaughn -- Of course one EXPECTS these, but it is a list pooled from diverse opinions not a scientific inquiry. Fun to watch the selections from Youtube also. Bravo!

Posted by Katie Storm at 01:30AM | August 2, 2007

Wow, what a truly miserable list. I'm a big Queen fan, but that's a mediocre Brian May solo at best. For one of the best solos ever, check out Dire Straits' Sultans of Swing live in Sydney 86. Ridiculous.

Posted by Ray at 02:04AM | August 2, 2007

What about Ritchie Blackmore, Rory Gallagher, Gary Moore, Robbo of Thin Lizzy? Television? Gimme a break!

Posted by Comy at 05:25AM | August 2, 2007

Where's J Mascis??

Posted by Degen at 12:20PM | August 2, 2007

All lists are finite. Way too many great guitarists to include them all. Like the diversity but some things included are....not worthy!Van Halen'solo on Beat It? You must be kidding. White Stripes? I don't think so. Good to see inclusion of Television,Smiths,Radiohead,Neil,McGuinn and yes, Lindsay Buckngham's best work.

Posted by Russ at 06:51PM | August 2, 2007

Richie Sambora can rip it up as good as anyone on that list, most under-rated guitar player due to the stigma attached to bon jovi. Live a little

Posted by Paul at 08:47PM | August 2, 2007

what in the hell IS this list?! this is the most retarted list i've ever seen! ur telling me that white stripes song has a better solo than free bird? or any metalica song for that matter. wat the hell. these people need to pull their head out of there ass. must be a british magazine.

Posted by Mil3s at 10:36PM | August 2, 2007

This is the MOST poser list EVER!
Could you please include any song that not overwelmed us in the radios?
Starway to heaven and sweet chil o' mine was a joke!
Beat it! was a bad joke!

Posted by Thicomth at 01:30AM | August 3, 2007

Jack White's performance is last but definitely not least in this line-up. Great thing about Jack is that he'd regularly turning in solos 'for your consideration' and certainly has put the frighteners on the old guard. I mean Prince has been going around like nobody can kick his ass whereas you get the feeling Jimmy's going 'That's m'boy!' :-) Anywhere, whoever, watch out...Jack's back!

Posted by Michael K at 11:46AM | August 3, 2007

Where is Jimmi Hendrix,??? He has a lot of greates solos...
And Metallica...
This list is very laborious

Posted by AS at 01:00PM | August 3, 2007

Page pisses on everyone in this list..!

Posted by Smith in Denver at 03:41PM | August 3, 2007

"One" by Metallica was voted no1 guitar solo of all time a few years back...
Listen to it and hear why.
Kirk Hammett, Sir, I salute you.

Posted by gdm77 at 06:21PM | August 3, 2007

Wow what a completley terrible list. I'm glad to see Jack White get some much deserved credit, and I agree Jimmy Page deserves his place on this list, but the majority of your other choices are very poor. How can you have a list of great guitar solos and have no inclusion of Hendrix, Clapton, Richards or Townsend?? Come on Q, sort it out.

Posted by Charley at 08:35PM | August 3, 2007

Where are Mark Knopfler´s Sultans of Swing ???!!

Posted by Danny at 08:36PM | August 3, 2007

Very disappointing. The wrong version of Fleetwood Mac for starters, Michael Jackson for childs sake, White Stripes -surely not. Where is Frank? and Santana, or Kossoff, or Eric or Jimi (gulp!). and heavens above there's no Walter either. Shambles

Posted by jeff mckinney at 01:51AM | August 4, 2007

I'd love to meet the people who made this list and shake them by the hand for giving me the best laugh in a long time. How could they leave out the greatest names like clapton, hendrix, knopfler, bb king etc. If I was as crap at my job as these supposedly music journalists I would expect to be sacked. Bow your ridiculous little heads in shame Q mag

Posted by anders19 at 01:59PM | August 4, 2007

How can Eric Clapton not be on this list?

Posted by j clark at 07:59PM | August 4, 2007

Where is Gonzo of the German Band "Böhse Onkelz"??

Posted by Küsters at 08:22PM | August 4, 2007

Your previous posters have missed the point. This is a list of Solos, not soloists. The videos shown are not those that neccessarily made them famous. I've heard a lot of Hendrix, The greatest guitarist but none of his solos stand out! We can all choose better riffs done by the artists but are they well known?

Posted by Dave Seale at 11:17PM | August 4, 2007

Worst list.... EVER!

Posted by Andrew at 10:02PM | August 6, 2007

Gr8 List! Especially Steely Dan "Reeling in the Years" and "Comfortably Numb" by Pink Floyd. Good to see the rote,montononous pentatonic scales by numbers via 5ths boring "Hotel Califonia" Eagles not included One minor pedantic point its of course not George Harrison producing the great guitar solo on While My Guitar Gently Weeps but the mighty Eric Clapton. Cheers.

Posted by Martin Wilkart at 01:20AM | August 7, 2007

Thanks for the laugh. No really...

Posted by Jason at 01:58AM | August 7, 2007

Jesus!!!
What a shame!
The guitar solo of "While My Guitar Gently Weeps" in the white album features ERIC CLAPTON !!! How old is the journalist that put this list together? 12?

Posted by Marcos Ambrosano at 02:30AM | August 7, 2007

Perfect selection. Michael Jackson's "beat it" solo is incredible.

Rock on MUSE! Knights of Cydoniahas one of the best guitar riffs ever, and played live is awesome!!!

Posted by Adam Chester at 01:19PM | August 7, 2007

You simply cannot do a guitar list of any kind (solo, skill, most memorable, whatever) and exclude the greatest guitar player of all time - Hendrix. I like the list...but this is a glaring omission. He's the one who inspired all this guitar greatness!

Posted by Marilyn Russell at 02:42PM | August 7, 2007

Well at the end of the day, people only buy music magazines so that they can let some dim witted 'music journalist' or as i like to call them commercial agenda setters, tell them what to think about music rather than let people make up their own minds...never read reviews, never give in to these moronic lists, never buy a music magazine... and always remember that YOUR RIGHT! YOUR RIGHT! YOUR RIGHT!....in fact this bloody list is just a con to get people annoyed and posting on their site....aargh ive been snared by the beast....

Posted by Lampsey at 04:26PM | August 7, 2007

crossroads by cream. clapton is god.

Posted by peeters at 12:16AM | August 8, 2007

Hm. I would have put Bohemian Rhapsody as the best solo, and Killer Queen, although a classic pop song, does not include Brian May's best Guitar work (Dead On Time, Father To Son, WWRY Solo, TIE YOUR MOTHER DOWN), yet i do agree Comfortably Numb is a stunning solo, but i also love the two solos during Money and all of Shine On. I do agree that any list of the best guitar solos without a mention of Hendrix or Santana is seriously pointless. What are the Stone Roses and the Smiths doing here?! Who compiled this!!

Posted by XO at 01:08AM | August 8, 2007

Awful, awful list. Where's Hendrix? Vodoo Chid (Slight Return) has got to be one of his gretest guitar solos ever. And Michael Jackson? This is a joke right?

Posted by Josh at 05:45PM | August 8, 2007

Having just watched Hi-Fidelity last night for about the 50th time, i am inclined to say i'm seeing a lot of musical snobbery here. The list is, i agree, not the best i've seen, and we can all agree that many of the greatest soloists have been missed, but this is a list of solos not soloists, and its just one man's opinion. give him a break for being too naive to notice that some pieces of perfection should never be messed with. obviously you can't have Eruption and Star-Spangled Banner in the same list, they're too similar, but how one of them slipped the net i'll never know. As for The Stone Roses, i think that the entry should have been Good Times. not only a great rock'n'roll song, but the whole bloomin' thing is a guitar solo, excellently written, and which took me 2 months to fully master as a kid of 13.

Posted by thatgingerfella at 11:04AM | August 9, 2007

Where's Joey Santiago from the Pixies??? Vamos should have been in this list....

Posted by Sophie at 07:10PM | August 9, 2007

I love Neil Young ! Neil Young thinks he is a great guitarist ! Anybody that puts Neil Young on a Top Twenty 20 List Of The greatest guitar solos is from another planet ! I am also guessing the writer of the article is very young ? There once was a band named Fleetwood Mac ? They had a guitarist named Peter Green ? Lindsey Buckingham is talented, but not Peter Green ! Please listen to an instrumental titled, " ALBATROSS " ?

Posted by Jupiter Jones at 05:46PM | August 12, 2007

Shocking !

No Jimmy Hendrix in there?
No Blues Legends?

How can the Top 20 not include any of this?

How about one the greatest classics - Hotel California?


bah humbug


Posted by Sohrab at 01:31PM | August 13, 2007

If Hocus Pocus (Jan Ackermann) isn't at least somewhere on the list, the author(s) are simply uninformed useful idiots.

Posted by Brian at 03:43AM | August 14, 2007

Q magazine = terrible. Dont bother making lists like this if you dont have a ******* clue what you are talking about. White Stripes solos? WOW! Even know who players like Zakk Wylde or Steve Vai are? Lists like these make me despair. What a terribly uninformed, poor excuse for a music magazine

Posted by Craig at 05:25PM | August 16, 2007

Some of the artists listed are shite!!
Here are a couple more not very well known
players: "Eric Johnson", "Robin Trower"
"Frank Marino" "Neal Schon" "Billy Gibbons"
"Eddie Van Halen" must admit i didn't think
anyone would recognize these players 'r u kidding?

Posted by peter crispp at 12:11PM | August 21, 2007

Pretty much Spot on really. David Gilmour at Number 1 which is where I expect him to be. Great to see Neil Young's 'Like a Hurricane' in there,my favourite guitar Solo of all time that is! Wish it had been higher up but at least it got on the list.

Posted by Colin Bell at 11:39PM | August 23, 2007

And where is Hotel California?

Posted by krisztian at 10:16PM | August 27, 2007

David Gilmour at the top!
Yes he probably should be at the top....

But have these journalists heard of 'Eric Clapton'? 'Jimi Hendrix'?

God knows there are too many great guitar solos to even attempt a list like this...its down to personal taste as much as anything else...

But how in hell can they say that George Harrison 'was never much of a guitar hero' ?

You pricks!!!! Have you even heard of 'The Beatles' ?

What about Steve Howe?
Django Reindhart?
Julian Bream?
Lynyrd Skynrd?
The Eagles?
Thin Lizzy?
Iron Maiden?
Metallica?

You just have'nt got a clue!!!!!!

Posted by andy maratty at 11:10PM | August 28, 2007


Glad to see David Gilmour recognized, but if asked he would surely include Richard Thompson. How about most everything Richard Thompson has done.

Is that someones personal The 20 Greatest Guitar Solos ??

I think the best is
Time - Pink Floyd
or
Symphatie for the Devil live from the album Get Yer Ya Ya`s Out - Stones

Posted by Guitarman at 05:29PM | September 17, 2007

You're overlooking the obvious. Greatest guitar solo should be related to its difficulty to play and total display of talent as well as creativity, not popularity of the band or song itself. get a Kiss Alive II CD and listen to the finale guitar solo by Ace Frehley in "Shock Me"!! Eddie Van Halen's solo in You Really Got Me!! Hendricks, Frampton, Randy Rhodes from Ozzy Osbourne, Hotel California, Joe Perry (Aerosmith), Hendricks.

Posted by Ricco at 05:06PM | September 23, 2007

good i think comfortably numb needed to win 1st haha thats definitly the best solo of all times..david gilmour rocks..not so sure killer queen shoulda gotten 2nd but watever haha

Posted by Blimp at 07:55AM | September 26, 2007

achei uma ótima escolha e fico impressionado sempre que escuto o solo maravilhoso do guilmour, na música do floyd.

Posted by victor hannover at 07:56PM | September 28, 2007

aliás não é surpresa a performance do gilmour em solos como o de "mather", do disco "the wall". Com relação ao Eric Clapton no solo da música dos beatles, é mais uma maravilha. a revista está de parabéns. beijos do Brasil.

Posted by victor hannover at 07:59PM | September 28, 2007

Aqui no Brasil, o guitarrista Cristiano Pinho manda um solo inesquecível, na música 'Asa partida", do cantor Raimundo Fagner. Na versão gravada no estúdio em 1976, o guitarrista brasileiro Robertinho do Recife manda bem um belo solo. Já na versão gravada ao vivo, em Fortaleza, no Brasil, no ano 2000, o Guitarrista Brasileiro Cristiano Pinho, inspirado, mandou um solo inesquecível, na música "Asa partida" registrado no disco "Raimundo Fagner ao vivo". Pra quem gosta de pesquisar solos de guitarra, é bom ouvir esta performance marcante.....

Posted by victor hannover at 08:05PM | September 28, 2007

Best guitar solos? Where's 'Leaning on a Lamp Post' by George Formby? ok it's a mandolin but he does a bit of a solo....shakes head, wanders off for strong cup of tea...
