Ace to Zep of guitar hits

Two numbers by legendary rockers Led Zeppelin top a poll of the 20 greatest guitar tracks of all time.
The chart was chosen by famous axemen - including guitarist Jimmy Page from Led Zep.
Other judges included Ronnie Wood of The Rolling Stones, the Foo Fighters' Dave Grohl and Andy Summers from The Police.

Q editor Paul Rees said: "This 20 greatest list is, we feel, the definitive one, since it's not been determined by a bunch of musically-challenged hacks, but by more than able guitarists, people of the standing of Jimmy Page and Ronnie Wood .
"If they don't know what they're talking about, no one does."

The top 10 is:
1 Black Dog - Led Zeppelin
2 Dazed and Confused - Led Zep
3 Little Wing - Jimi Hendrix
4 A Woman in Winter - The Skids
5 Guitar Shuffle - Big Bill Broonzy
6 And Your Bird Can Sing - The Beatles
7 The End - The Beatles
8 Only In Dreams - Weezer
9. Limeh'se Blues - Dja Reinhardt
10 Bye Bye Blues - Les Paul and Mary Ford
