Todo músico tiene opiniones sobre cuales son los solos de guitarra
más grandes alguna vez grabados. Si bien hay muchos que son comúnmente
considerados como "grandes", hay muchos otros que no reciben tanta
atención. En el año 2006, la revista estadounidense
Guitar World
realizó una encuesta para que sus lectores opinarán quien consideraban
los mejores solos de guitarra de todos los tiempos. Los resultados
seguramente reflejan la demografía de la revista.
