Los mejores solos de guitarra del rock

Solos, 'riffs', duelos, tormentas, paisajes, meros guitarrazos... Todo valía en la petición que se hizo a los especialistas en música de EL PERIÓDICO, siempre y cuando estuviera hecho con seis cuerdas: ¿cuáles son tus 20 momentos favoritos de guitarra? 'Favoritos' es aquí la palabra clave, el único criterio. No se pedía que la lista cubriera más o menos todas las épocas, ni que se tuviera en cuenta la importancia de ciertos guitarristas al abrir caminos, ni ninguna de esas cosas que se suelen pedir o dar por hechas cuando se aspira a establecer un canon (no es el caso). Simplemente, las 20 canciones con guitarras destacadas que más te gustan, se pidió.

Este es el 'top 10' que han dado como resultado las votaciones. Y después están las listas íntegras de los nueve participantes en el juego. Sube el volumen al 11 y a disfrutar (o a indignarte, que para eso son también las listas).

Asimismo hemos elaborado con las votaciones el 'top 10' de los grupos y artistas titulares de las canciones que han sacado más puntos y el 'top 10' de los guitarristas cuyas interpretaciones han sacado más puntos.
