Yahoo! Picks - bringing you the best of the Web since 1995

Everyone has a different idea of what real rock 'n' roll is, but we can all agree that you need a guitar to rock. It doesn't matter if you prefer the excess of Eddie's 11-minute performance of "Eruption" or Jimi's virtuosic "Voodoo Child," we don't believe there's a single fan on the face of the Earth who hasn't been driven to tears—of ecstasy or sorrow—by a screaming guitar solo. Entertainment blog CityRag took the liberty of expanding on Guitar World magazine's list of 100 great moments in shredder history, adding video links from the Web. With this helpful visual accompaniment to an aural litany of the last half-century of hard-driving performances, we rediscovered some old favorites (ah, "War Pigs") and jammed to players we'd never heard of before. Dig the tunes.
