En İyi 50 Gitar Solosu: Sizin seçiminiz hangisi?

Böylesi listeler sıklıkla yapılır. Çoğunda da aynı isimlere rastlanılır; ama işin bu kısmı zaten baştan kabul edilmiştir. Bir başka kabul de, listeye baktıktan sonra şu cümlenin söyleneceği gerçeği üstünedir: “Yahu bu listede şu şarkı ya da şu solo nasıl olmaz?” Yine de insan kendisini alamaz böylesi listelere bakmaktan…

Liste Guitar World dergisinden geliyor. Ben de aynen oradan aldım ve 50’den 1’e doğru sıraladım. (Guitar World internet sitesinde bu listeyi açıklamalar ve metinlerle okuyabilirsiniz.)
