Via Music Radar:
And then there are the artists who, with the benefit of hindsight, have come to be rightly appreciated for their soloing prowess. How hard is it to believe that in 1998, Slash was nowhere to be found on this list? Unsurprisingly then, he’s roared back this time round with the Guns N’ Roses classics Sweet Child ‘O Mine and November Rain.
There’s renewed recognition for the likes of Megadeth’s Marty Friedman and Martin Barre of Jethro Tull, not to mention the man we described as “The best British rock guitarist of his generation”, Manic Street Preachers’ James Dean Bradfield.
Contrast the music of Barre and Bradfield with the likes of Eddie Van Halen and Steve Vai, flying the flag for the shredders, and it’s clear that the guitar solo is as broad and diverse a church as ever.

Steve, i declined to vote as I did not see Joe Satriani’ name but appreciate all listed as well as the link, thanks!
Come to think of it, Eric Johnson and Eric Clapton weren’t on the list either but, like you said, they had some good songs listed.
Thanks for the link, Steve!
No problem-o Mr. ‘Bot
Appreciate the link. As far as guitar solos are concerned: The Kinks, You Really Got Me (Dave Davies) 1964: for historical significance and essentially inventing the format.

I’m a big fan of the Kinks as well. I’ve posted several of their vid’s over the years.
