All month long, it’s the MGK Top 20, counting down Classic Rock’s Greatest Guitarists.  This weekend is the perfect chance to catch up!  Listen for hourly blocks from all guitarists revealed thus far and catch some of the finest solos from the guitarists that YOU voted into our Top 20 right here. 

We gave you a nice collection that showcases some ‘face melting’ solos from the likes of Carlos Santana, Eddie Van Halen, Alex Lifeson, Stevie Ray Vaughn, as well as the more smooth, stylistic work of artists like Mark Knopfler, Steve Howe, Peter Frampton and Joe Walsh.
