Our Greatest Guitar Solo Of All Time poll certainly caused some fierce debate amongst guitarists… and that was just in our office. Choosing the 'greatest' guitar solo is obviously subjective in the extreme. But Guitarist had other motivations too – we were eager to see how many modern solos have impressed you all in the thirteen years since our last solo poll. The results were suprising. After asking for your nominations, we took the 20 most popular and asked for you vote on which your though was most deserving here and at MusicRadar. You voted in your thousands, fanbases were motivated and old favourites suffered.

'Loved By You', off the Frank Marino/Mahogany Rush album 'What's Next'; will peel the paint right off of your walls. If that song ever turned up on 'Guitar Hero'; the wannabes would p*ss their pants. Turns up on YouTube now and then; but always gets pulled.
Too bad...amazing guitar.
