El solo de guitarra es aquella parte de la canción que aprovecha el locutor de radio para hacer cualquier comentario. Es la parte que se recorta, mutila o directamente se suprime para que un videoclip tenga una duración comercialmente aceptable. Es el momento en que el guitarrista muestra su técnica y su expresividad y que a veces por desgracia nos perdemos.
De modo que hoy voy a hacer un pequeño homenaje a estas pequeñas canciones dentro de canciones y a sus creadores con una pequeña selección de algunos de estos solos de guitarra.
No pretende ser ni representativa ni exhaustiva, sería imposible. Como todas las listas y selecciones es completamente subjetiva. Tampoco se trata de un ranking. Los guitarristas aparecen sin ningún orden concreto ya que en la música no hay mejores ni peores sino música que nos gusta más y música que nos gusta menos.
