have created some of the most critically acclaimed music in the world
of rock and metal over the course of three decades. And one of the
foundations of their music has been Kirk Hammett's stellar guitar
playing. He's behind some of the biggest face-melting tunes in history

his best solos, but we weren't even going to try to attempt ranking
them. So, without further adieu, we present our favorite Hammett guitar
solos (in no particular order):
