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.

Duane Allman playing at the 6:30 of You Don't Love Me from the Live at the Fillmore album.  It is a soulful lyrical solo, no fast, but one that touches your soul.

I experienced it live at the Syria Mosque in Pgh on that tour.  I still touches me 50 years later!!!
