And the best songs, in my opinion, are those with a terrific guitar solo somewhere in the middle.<\/p>\n<p>There are many styles of music, but this article will stay within the boundaries of classic rock \u2013 music made using the electric guitar, to be precise.

Joe Satriani \u2013 Surfing with the Aliens has a sound of it\u2019s own. Not quite deep and heart-felt, but great nonetheless.<\/p>\n<p>7. Here\u2019s Jimi Hendrx Mesmerizing the crowds for a full 7 minutes<\/p>\n<p>6. Mark Knopfler \u2013 Sultans of Swing \u2013 Unmistakably one of the best.<\/p>\n<p>5.
