Top 10 Iconic Guitar Solos
Since the early days of blues and jazz, guitar solos have been used to showcase the talents of musicians and to add an extra dynamic to the music.

The point of this list, then, is simply to highlight 10 of the more noteworthy guitar solos in history – those that are still relevant today and went on to have a profound impact on their respective genres, and music in general.
