Not to hijack a thread or anything, but what guitar solos that are widely 
regarded as great aren't "pretty old school"?  The last one I heard in 
mainstream rock that I really liked was Kim Thayil's solo in Black Hole 
Sun in the early 90s, and that one was as overplayed as Stairway.  I like 
some Queens of the Stone Age solos but don't know if Josh Homme is 
regarded as a guitar god like Clapton, Knopfler and Perry either.  Same 
with the Mars Volta.  And I like a lot of indie rock but I'm not really 
hearing too many future inclusions in Guitar Hero from that direction.

The kids who are picking up a guitar for the first time today, what are 
they trying to play?  It's not really the kind of thing you can google.
