Tight little quiz on identifying classic guitar solos.

Give it a try: Classic Rock Guitar Solo Quiz

I got a 84 (not too good) but better than I thought as I haven't heard some of these in a while... ;)

Anyone out there that can get 100% on their first try?

That was a great quiz, but apparently I suck.  ;D

You scored 53/100 points
Good, but you should dust off some of those old CDs.

that was fun but I only got an 86

I scored a 100 but I have to admit, I guessed at one. I wasn't sure if it was McCartney or Harrison,
I guessed correct.  ;D

ha! i'm listening to the best hits of "focus" (best known for the mad jam "hocus pocus") for the second time this evening. awesome. so i feel in a way i got my mad 70s guitar dialed in. 8)

I raised my 40 to 47 

I might know what 11 is ,but might not want to say here.

I think this is rather ironic considering your avatar.  ;D

47% not so good

I went back and got a 93 the only one I missed was who was playing solo I picked the wrong Beatle.

the true gearheads know who plays what (including i think eric clapton sitting in?) in all those roundrobin solos at the end of abbey road. i have no idea, myself.

I got 72/100

yeah, it sure is, but it's probably a good example of me only listening to the songs I like, mainly the hits and skipping songs like this one which was sadly my loss

I'm just the opposite, I usually skip the hits.

and that's good because then you get more familiarized with the bands total work, where I feel like I've done myself a dis-service by skipping to the hits and thus have missed out on many good tunes

This quiz didn't work for me - none of the choice of answers corresponded with the music  :(

For example; one of the riffs was from a Foreigner song but the choices given were for two other bands  :o

OK;

I made a 100.  It was good to know that 5 years on the road in a variety of bands had not been completely erased by the veneer of respectability glued on by marriage, a house (albeit not in the 'burbs--though it was 80 yrs ago) kids and a couple of college degrees (one in music, the other in high temperature processing)

Oh, Mighty Threadmaster, am I now worthy through Thy grace, of a Blue Oyster Cult decal for the back of my minivan?  We still own all the vinyl and my brother's Fisher amplifier (tube, no less) is still in service, pushing a pair of AR-1's.  The stylus on the sacerdotal turntable is changed every 1000 hours, and the records are still properly cleanesd before every playing...

I was going to say...am I doing something wrong? Are there supposed to be 3 or 4 choices for each question? Because several of the questions have incorrect choices.

For example, the correct answer for question 3 is Thin Lizzy (The Boys Are Back In Town), yet it's not listed in the options given.

There are 4 choices, on question #3 Thin Lizzy is # 4

Ahh...

Whenever I play it, a frame blocks out the 4th choice on my screen, so there appears to only be three choices.

Very strange?
