Rock legend and KISS guitarist Ace Frehley has died at 74. Fans are calling him 'my first guitar hero' as tributes pour in.

Pearl Jam were never lacking in guitar heroes, but Eddie Vedder felt some of their idols went beyond the traditional rock and roll gods like Jimmy Page.

Buckingham is not the original guitarist of Fleetwood Mac. He actually arrived well into the band's career, which is notorious for its line-up changes. Buckingham was a part of the sonic transition from blues rock to a more mainstream classic rock sound that the band really became known for, especially with their classic album, "Rumors."

“Breed” is only one of many stellar tracks on Nevermind, but we particularly love Cobain’s guitar riff on this one. It’s not as intense or inaccessible to non-grunge fans as other tracks on that album, but the guitar track is really well-written.

Jimmy Page and David Gilmour may have a lot of overlap in their playing styles, but they both knew when a great guitarist had them beat.
