If asked, what are some of the coolest guitar hero songs you can think of?

For me, I have many. And this is not because I’m a guitar player and tend to pay more attention. I just love great guitarists playing great songs.

The following would be on my short list:

1) Eric Johnson: ‘Cliffs of Dover’

2) Eddie Van Halen: ‘Eruption’

3) John Mayer: ‘Neon’

4) Joe Satriani: ‘Surfin with the Alien’

5) Larry Carlton: The solo in ‘Kid Charlemagne’

Of course these are just the tip of the iceberg. My shelves are full of great guitar songs by great players.

Choose yours.
