[100 Greatest Guitar Solos]

Guitar World magazine recently ran a poll where readers were asked what they thought was the best guitar solo of all time. A couple of weeks ago about.com listed all the solos in their Guitar section along with the tablature for the songs. Alex Lifeson's Working Man solo made the cut at #94. This is a great solo, but I can think of several other Rush solos that should have also made the cut. This is a reader's poll however, and as the about.com resident guitar expert put it, ... The results surely reflect the magazine's demographic (no jazz guitar solos, for example) .... These types of polls tend to be more of a popularity contest than anything else. Jimmy Page's Stairway to Heaven solo was #1 by the way.
