several players around the globe played in the early 60′ very fast..but not aggressive. During the second part of the 60′ some bluesy guitar men (ten years after, Hendrix experimented with delays in stereo, and..mm many other stuff)the rapidness and some legatto here and there, the wah-wah thing,the harmonics..(with feedback to the top), later, many guitar players took their ideas to the next level..what? more technology,more overdriven amps, more wah wah more screaming solos, another pickups, tapping, playing fast, skipping strings..blah….so the question is what comes now?

stair way to heaven? really? i like led zepplin but that song gets boring after a while cause 7 miutes is a tad bit to long for that song…… the solo is not even close to as good or advanced eruption is…i can learn led zepplin stair way to heaven in a day on my guitar….but it took me a month on eruption

I love Led Zeppelin, But Stairway to heaven? Eddie Van Halen is the best rock guitarist ever. There are at least 10-15 Eddie solos that could be in the top 50. Eruption should be number 1. Hell, you could even put Beat it in the top 50. I have been listening to Rock for over 30 years now and I have yet to hear a guitarist that is better, and that includes Hendrix!
