Stevie Ray Vaughan not even in the top ten? Please. He was better than every one of them. Eric Clapton and Jimmy Page are both overrated.

Best guitar solo = Rocky Top by Chet Atkins (I don't think even Stevie Ray could do that).

i assumed they meant rock solos, if you start throwing country/folk guys in then you've got to deal with virtuosos like Leo Kottke and then jazz guys like Django... i don't think they meant the top 10 best guitar parts, but more like the top 10 high-flying rock solos.

Man i agree that clapton was definitely overrated. but u shut up about page. the small flaws that he made just made him better, just made him more distinguishable from anyone else. any stevie ray vaughn or angus young or clapton can take a simple blues scale and turn it into a solo. but jimmy page did stuff different from all those guys, that’s why he’s number one.
