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.

Or, is it 'Peg' as played by Jay Graydon after a handful of session cats attempted takes?
Frank Zappa on 'Inca Roads' (Ink Erodes...) from One Size Fits All. Solo is imported from the Helsinki '74 show documented on You Can't Do That On Stage Anymore vol.2

All mentioned above are great, i cannot choose

Jeff Beck - Cause we ended as lovers.
Alex Lifeson - Timelight (Rush).
Steve Hackett - Firth of fifth (Genesis).

and many more.
Santana, Tash Sultana, Bruce Springsteen, Joe Bonamassa, Adrian Gurvitz, Chris Rea, Snowy White… oh so many !!!!

I too nominated Clapton's "Sleepy Time Time" on a previous post, but where do you begin and end ??
How about Crossroads on Wheels of Fire. Two guitar solos on one track plus sublime work on high hat by Ginger Baker. I heard this when the album was first released and played by the late John Peel here on UK radio. So good he played it twice !!!
Not forgetting "While my guitar gently weeps" on the Beatles White Album....
I grew up in the sixties, there were so many great guitarists, who now reside in my record collection.
