So....the guitar is a fascinating instument. Please check out this absolutely splendid and brilliant interpretation of Pachabel's Canon available on YouTube. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QjA5faZF1A8 This performance is the subject on interesting comment in the New York Times of Sunday 27 August 2006. It does show the rather amazing range of the instrument.
This brings up the subject of favorite riffs. Here are Planet Rock's top ten guitar solos of all time:
1. Comfortably Numb - Pink Floyd 2. Sweet Child O Mine - Guns N Roses 3. Freebird - Lynyrd Skynyrd4. Eruption - Van Halen 5. November Rain - Guns N Roses6. Stairway to Heaven - Led Zeppelin 7.
