yes yes, these are all great players, however they are not electric guitarists as you have admirably noted, you could even mention, Robert Fripp, Alan Holdsworth, Bill Nelson of Bebop Delux, Rory Gallager, Roy Buchanan, Walter Trout, Steve Howe, all great players, but Maiden is Maiden, and the guitar solo is not very fast, not compared to Malmsteen ...[text shortened]... r Satriani.

Personally i prefer Flamenco above all other genre, just had to slip that in 🙂

Holy cow! We have a BeBop Deluxe sighting. Incredible. I love Blackmore, Dickie Betts, and flamenco but my vote for best electric guitar song has to be Elegant Gypsy, Al DiMeola.

"Stairway to Heaven" and "Wish you were here" ( Zeppelin and Pink Floyd)..but just for the opening in their songs.

Not really his most impressive guitar work but maybe his best overall composition.
Race with Devil on Spanish Highways probably the most rock-influenced song and Egyptian Danza is great but a lot of people don't care for all the tension and release in that tune. I love it.
