10 terrible solos by great guitarists

A countdown of career low points

Total Guitar

A baffling act of self-sabotage from Graham Coxon, who lumbers Blur’s 1995 chart-topper with a lead break so twee you’ll swear it’s being played by a garden gnome.

Listen: Blur - Country House (offending solo at 1.53)
