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.

E. Clapton:
Spoonful on "Wheels of Fire"
Had to Cry Today on "Blind Faith"
Do What You Like on "Blind Faith"
Unsurpassed work...

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.
