In 1998 Guitarist asked you what the greatest guitar solo of all time was.
You told us it was played by Joe Walsh and Don Felder on The Eagles' Hotel California.
Have you changed your minds?
Now is the time to tell us.
Let us know on Twitter, Facebook or the comments section at the bottom of this post what you think the greatest guitar solo of all time is.
