What are your top 10 solos? I love guitar and think that solos make the art attractive to others. Whether they be simple scales, whammy bar breakers, string busters, fretboard tappers, blues licks, up-the-neck face melters, or even little ditties, solos are awesome. What is your top 10? If you have video or audio, it would help so that I can see if i agree with your opinion. ROCK ON!

There's so many,
I've always loved Hendrix on Little Wing, Gilmour (Pink Floyd) on Comfortably Numb, Randy Rhodes (Ozzy) on Crazy Train (Basically every solo he ever recorded was hot), It's not as difficult to play as it sounds, but Van Halen's Eruption was great. The intro to the Scorpion's No One Like You was awesome. The Judas Priest Guitarists K. K. Downing and Glenn Tipton have many great solos, but I especially like the solo on The Sentinel (they trade back and forth 7 times in a guitar duel). If I spend the rest of the day thinking about it, I would end up naming dozens more, but unfortunately I don't have time.
