.
A revista “Rolling Stone” divulgou no último dia 4 de maio, uma nova lista dos 100 melhores solos de guitarra de todos os tempos. Segundo a revista: “O solo de guitarra é uma das formas de arte mais indestrutíveis e geniais de toda a música moderna. Não há nada como a emoção de uma gloriosa explosão de seis cordas. Dos solos escolhidos, alguns são clássicos de virtuosos da guitarra; outros são apenas uma explosão de riffs incrivelmente ousados. Mas todos eles deixaram sua marca em nossas mentes”.
No fim da matéria você encontra o link do site da ‘Rolling Stone’ com os comentários sobre cada solo escolhido pela revista.
