# The Best Chicago Guitar Solos > The 17 best Chicago guitar solos, ranked. #1 is 25 or 6 to 4 (1970), then Introduction and Free Form Guitar. Every video starts at the solo. Canonical URL: Before the ballads took over, Chicago was a horn-driven jazz-rock juggernaut whose secret weapon was Terry Kath, a guitarist Jimi Hendrix himself singled out for praise. Kath's wah-soaked, feedback-laced leads gave the early albums a raw rock edge that still surprises listeners who only know the hits.
