Most Underrated Guitar Solos

The Top Ten
1 Runaway - Richie Sambora (Bon Jovi)

Richie Sambora is the Greatest Guitarist... Everybody knows that and there's no Second thought's about it...

But how on Earth could you believe that this Great Solo was in there very 1st Album: Bon Jovi in 1983!
Friends, this was his very 1st Guitar Solo!

2 Achilles Last Stand - Jimmy Page (Led Zeppelin)

The quintessential Led Zeppelin epic. Forget "Stairway..." With all due respect to their many great songs, this one flat out rules.

One of the best guitar solos. Probably one of the best zeppelin songs.

The song should be more well known even though it does last 10:19

3 Godfather Theme - Slash

You most listen this amazing!

4 Bat Country - Synyster Gates (Avenged Sevenfold)

He is the best guitarist ever

I love his solo also his harmonic parts

Besides he is really fast

Not after life but really good more underrated the after life both are legendary

The solo's AWESOME. Not as good as other A7X, but still, it's good.

its good heard better ones from them but Synyster Gates is insane

5 Nosferatu - Coroner (Tommy Baron)
6 Whole Lotta Rosie - Angus Young (AC/DC)

If you don't think this song is great, then you are absolutely crazy.

My favourite song by my favourite band! Angus is a great guitarist

I always Angus was a little overated until I heard this solo!

7 A Light In the Black - Ritchie Blackmore

Is far the most underatted solo.
3-4mins of magic!
Amazing guitarwork with high grade of difficulty (you can no where find tabs).
Fast as hell n fine as heaven.
I wish that the only reason for not choosing it is, because you never heard.

8 Gemini - Brian Kahanek

Known him for years... The world deserves to see and hear a lot more of him. He is not only a very special player but a great friend and overall human being as well.

The worlds most underrated guitar player as well... Its only a matter of time until he gets the recognition he deserves.

9 Schizos (Are Never Alone) - Annihilator (Jeff Waters)
10 Dry County - Richie Sambora (Bon Jovi)

I'm a crazy Bon Jovi fan and this is by far my favourite solo/solos...nice and long and him and Tico going nuts and also would have to be in my top 3 to 5 favourite songs from them and I agree,so very underrated

This song is epic in so many ways, epic solo, epic lyrics, epic voice, the song is very underrated...

This song and solo is awesome in every way.

The Contenders
11 Serpent Moves - Coroner (Tommy Baron)
12 Let It Be - George Harrison (The Beatles)

Harrison's solo on the single version is just okay, but the solo on the album is killer, and it's a shame that the single version is the one that gets the most airplay.

The original recorded version, not the butchered NAKED version. That is one the best solos hardly anyone talks about. Simple and clean.

True. It was his best solo for me. But this solo doesn't get much appreciations.

13 Under a Glass Moon - John Petrucci (Dream Theater)

Petrucci lets all these other solos be "good".
On the first day God created John Petrucci and said "this is effin awesome!"

John Petrucci is the most advanced guitarist of this age to say the least

Not only is it beautiful but it showcases a lot of technical skills

14 Kissing the Shadows - Children of Bodom (Alexi Laiho)

Achilles last and let it be and espicially bat country are not underrated
i think that alexi laiho is a genius I mean kissing the shadows ifs 4 times harder than petrucci's stream of consciousness and it's underrated as hell so for the people who vote please go listen to good music and learn THAN vote and comment

15 Rising Force - Yngwie Malmsteen
16 Altitudes - Jason Becker

If eruption could be a solo then why the hell this can't be a solo.

17 Soothsayer - Buckethead

Time Just Flies When You Listen To This Song, It Doesn't Even Feel Like Nine Minutes.

He played this at his concert I went to... Its like the greatest!

18 Kill the King - Rainbow (Ritchie Blackmore)
19 Shake a Leg - Angus Young (AC/DC)

great song, one of my favorites

20 Alison Hell - Annihilator (Jeff Waters)
21 Lonely Day - Daron Malakian (System of a Down)

This solo is so awesome! Daron Malakian shows that he has technical prowess as well as other guitar skills with this song, making the already awesome solo even better!

An amazing solo with so much emotion in it. It makes me cry every time I listen to it. Unfortunately underrated :(

22 The Unforgiven III - Kirk Hammet (Metallica)

Among all of his solos I like this one. And this is underrated.

23 Stranger in this Town - Richie Sambora (Bon Jovi)
24 Eruption - Eddie Van Halen

#16 most underrated? LOL. NOT underrated at all.
Do you know the meaning of underrated? If not, go and give a listen to Nosferatu by Coroner. Oh, you never heard of this band and their guitarist Tommy Baron? Exactly. This is my point. Now, THIS solo is underrated.

Ha ha, underrated! This solo is usually is on top 5 of every best guitar solos ranking lists. Plus people overpraise this solo as being first tapping/shredding.

More like most overrated solo no passion and isn't that technical by today's standards

Let's just face it: eruption

25 The Best of Times - John Petrucci (Dream Theater)

Best solo of all time and and this list needs
