As always, even twelve spaces isn’t a lot, so please tell us in the comments below, which ones you’d have included. We’ve picked twelve examples (narrowing it to ten was making us miserable) from history and compiled them into chronological order, for coherence as much as anything. Whilst there are whole sub-sections of genres on acoustic tapping and classical repertoire, all involving beautiful music, we’ve elected to just include one each. Classical and acoustic guitars are equally capable of taking centre-stage and leading the song. It isn’t all about electric guitars, though. This is what this blog sets out to celebrate: those songs where the guitar reveals its genius and stamps its authority and magic over the music. Sometimes, the lead singer will even back off and allow the guitar to take the entire melody. We particularly love it when guitar is put front and centre in a song. Without doubt the most significant instrument of the last 150 years, the electric guitar is the primary tool for a great many expressive, ambitious musicians. The electric guitar can be used in so many ways and in so many contexts, it’s almost chameleonic. That’s obvious! You don’t need us to tell you that. The electric guitar is the greatest instrument ever.
