The best solo from the most underrated guitarist. Its fast, tough and really good. Its just a shame that Extreme's most famous song is an acoustic song.

9. MARK KNOPFLER - Local Hero.
Slow, rhythmic and classy from one of the greats. His style of finger picking is put to great effect throughout this whole song.

8. LED ZEPPELIN - Rock and Roll.
For me this Led Zeppelin's most underrated solo. Whilst it may not be as great as Whole Lotta Love or Stairway To Heaven, most guitarists would kill to write a solo this good.

7. IRON MAIDEN - Run To The Hills.
Just as good as The Trooper but doesn't get the same recognition. In short an awesome solo.

4. BUCKETHEAD -Jordan
Kind of hard to describe this solo so i'll just say one of the best solo's from one of the best guitarists.

3. THE KNACK - My Sharona.
Not an obvious choice but I just love this solo and don't think it gets the love it deserves.

2. TOTO - Hold The Line
Hard to chose one specific reason for this. I think its better than the song Africa and think its a greatly underrated solo.

1. MICHAEL JACKSON - Beat It.
Typical EVH solo. Fast, hard to play, involves lots of intricate fret movement, tapping, hammer ons and pull offs. Maybe not as good as Eruption, but still a perfect example as to why EVH is one of the finest guitarists ever.
