question: what you mean with CBE?

and what you think about mark knopfler, j j cale, steve vai, jimi hendrix and slash?

i would take those together with Brian(THE BEST ONE!! and brighton rock is the best solo good choice) , eric clapton, david gilmour, tony iommi and jimmy page

[MarchingOnTogether01]

@tritaeus CBE stands for Commander of the Order of the British Empire.

I love Mark Knopfler, he is one of my favourites and maybe on another day he would be in the top 10. Jimi hendrix really should have been in the Top 10, i only left him out because i prefer the others in the video. I like Slash's style and his work, but i dont think he's done enough to be up there as much as some of the others in the video.

Where is van halen?

[MarchingOnTogether01]

@daantj292 not in my top 10. or 20 or 40.

Nice video! Out of curiosity, why did you choose that particular solo for Brian May? I mean, the guy had the solos for "Bicycle", "Killer Queen", and the two from "Bohemian Rhapsody"!  A) Why did you choose the distorted scratching thing you went with, and b) what song is that?

[MarchingOnTogether01]

@magicaltour1 It's a clip from the live version of Brighton Rock. I chose it because it's one of his distinctive tones and playing style, the way he uses a 3 way delay effect to sound like a series of gutair harmonies.

tony iommi 4ever

[SlowhandSolos]

@MrGuitarLukas T You're wrong there.

[SlowhandSolos]

Finally someone with Gary Moore! Still am yet to see Doug Aldrich and Jeff Healey in a list, but Clapton clearly proves this is a good list.

[sicxBOO218]

wheres hendrix?

[jimihendrix19999]

wo ist den hendrix? (er sollte eidentlich die nummer 1 sein seine solos sind besser als die von denen und das auch wenn er mit der zunge oder mit den zänen spielt)

aber abgesehen davon ist die reinfolge ganz richtig abgesehen von clapton der sollte auch ein bischien weiter vorne stehen

[J4K31]

@MrGuitarLukas I don't even know what a componist is. If you mean composer, then no he was one of the greatest. I wasn't talking down to Beethoven. Personally, I like his work

[MrGuitarLukas]

@J4K31 yessss !!!!! beethoven is a bad componist are you serious

[J4K31]

@MrGuitarLukas You say a stone is smarter than me, yet you don't know what subjective means...

Wait, why am I arguing with a German? What the hell would a German know about good music?!?! You're only known for producing Beethoven, and Kraftwerk who used nothing but synthesizers to imitate sounds of real instruments.

Get outta here, troll

[MrGuitarLukas]

@J4K31 haha a stone is smarter than you

eric clapton isnt the best guitarist

[himynameismikeysams]

Where the fuck is Carlos montoya....randy rhoads, buckethead, rusty cooley, steve vai, joe, jimmy page, van halen, what the fuck D;
