Top 10 Guitar Solos
VOICE OVER: Rebecca Brayton
With September 10th marking the 40th anniversary of Eric Clapton's Rainbow Concert album release and September 18th marking the 43rd anniversary of Jimi Hendrix's death, we take a look at the top 10 guitar solos. There are few better ways for talented guitarists to display their skills in a song than with a solo. These melodic musical sections often contain improvisation and though they can be found in all genres of music, they most often appear in rock, heavy metal and related genres. For this list, we've limited it to one guitar solo per artist and excluded instrumentals. Join http://www.WatchMojo.com as count down our picks for the top 10 guitar solos.
