Favorite Guitar Solo

What is your favorite guitar solo? The one that bypasses your cerebral cortex? The one that best hits your emotional center? Any genre. Any period. Any length. A million notes. Or just one note. Obscure or famous. You can make any excuse as to why you choose it, but explanations are optional. But you gotta choose just one.

My choice? Eric Clapton’s solo in "Sleepy Time Time" from the Fresh Cream album. Simplicity. Emotional ecstasy. Tone.

I agree not a fair question, like picking your favorite pistachio in a 10 lb bag. But for homesickness played thru a guitar, Son Seals 'going back home'

Actually it was a ukulele and it was my 6 year old grandson.

The best, most heart felt solo I ever heard, it was for "HIS GRANDPA".

Yup thing to remember, LOL while I still can..

I wish I had 50 Grandkids.. ONE will do.. :-)

He did kinda BB King it. The one string thing and the ol face shake, pretty good...

Jimmy McCulloch's "Maybe I'm Amazed" solo with Wings.

Love the tone (SG through some type of Fender amp with the bass pot and/or neck PU dialed down) and a first rate player who improved upon PM's original solo.
