Cause we've ended as lovers by Jeff Beck was voted number 99 out of the 100 best guitar solos of all time by guitar world magazine.

This song, dedicated to guitarist Roy Buchanan, was composed by longtime friend Stevie Wonder as an apology to Jeff for releasing "Superstition" first. This is what Beck is referring to in the liner notes on the back of the album when he says, "thanks to Stevie."

Best Guitar Solos - #100 Jane's Addiction: 3 Days


Three Days is a ten minute, forty-six second song featured on Jane's Addiction's 1990 album, Ritual de lo Habitual. It is a three-part song that meditates on death and rebirth. The guitar solo by Dave Navarro was ranked as number 100 in Guitar World's "100 best guitar solos".

The song was inspired by Xiola Blue, who came to Los Angeles for her father's funeral, and spent three days with Farrell and his girlfriend Casey Niccoli, spending their time together in a "haze of sex and drugs". Blue died of a heroin overdose in New York City in June, 1987. The song was written prior to her death.
