On a website for guitarfreaks, once again the same rock guitar solo has been chosen* as the best ever: David Gilmour's solo in Comfortably Numb out of "The Wall" from Pink Floyd.

Silver and bronze were for:
2. Stairway To Heaven - Jimmy Page (Led Zeppelin)
3. All Along The Watchtower - Jimi Hendrix

* Criteria. Guitar solos are the best display of talent by these musicians. Each guitar solo was ranked mainly for the overall quality of its composition. Originality, complexity, influence, and lasting appeal are also considered.

Concerning guitar in classical music, my own knowledge starts and stops at Rodrigo's marvellous Concerto de Aranjuez.

How about a link to the site, Freddy?

I must say, as a PF fan that I am pleased but not surprised  ;)
