"Every guitarist has opinions on what some of the greatest recorded guitar solos are. While there are many that are commonly regarded as "great", there are lots of others that don't get as much attention. Not too long ago, the editors of Guitar World magazine put together a reader's poll, to find out what their readers considered to be the best guitar solos of all time. The results surely reflect the magazine's demographic (no jazz guitar solos, for example), but no one can argue the following 100 selections boast some great guitar work."

Joe Satriani - Always with me, always with you
Most of my favorite guitar solos are included in the Top 100 selection. But if I am to pick a favorite, I'd go for November Rain by Guns N' Roses. I don't know why. I just love the imagery of Slash whipping out romantic melody in the middle of nowhere and then shifting into a melancholic "mad hatter" guitar licks at the end of the song. Ahh, those were the good ole days...
Anyway, I still can't believe why one of my all time favorite Joe Satriani tunes is not included in the list. Like I said, it's very subjective. So here it is. I think this classic Satch tune should be way up there on the list. Check out the video, pump up the volume, and weep. Joe used to have hair back then.
Thanks to Happiness for the heads up. Also check out Ursi's Blog for the videos of the Top 20 guitar solos.

Holy Wah-Wah Petal Chaos-man…
That was a fun perusal. I just want to take the day off work and go through my iTunes and blast out some tune-age.
One of my personal favs is Dave Gilmour's solo on Another Brick in Wall. “We don't need no Education.” Unfortunately I took that song a little to literally in my emotional youth. Uuuuhhh. lol.
An most recently, John Frusciante's solo on Dani California. What a salute to the old Rock Git solo sound….YEEEEEHAAAAAAA!!!! Good times, goooood times.
Holy Hammering!!
Dear C4,
Thank you for always finding the coolest in “Chaos” and sharing that with us. I really enjoyed this post about the guitar solos, however someone is missing and I want to introduce you to the hottest in “calm.” Tom, aka Yeshe, warms my heart every time I listen to his acoustic guitar improv. His recording Sunlight Rain, and in particular the guitar solo “Light Rain” delivers musical bliss every time I listen. I think you will agree!
Enjoy!

They could not be that dumb! They must have thought Joe Satriani as a transgreatest,too!
And November Rain…had “too” much feeling about it…
