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 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.
Well, one of them is certainly Grant Green on this version of I Wish You Love (watch the whole song):

And as an interesting aside, this is pulled from the comments:

I’m a long-time friend of pat metheny. A few weeks ago I went to his bungalow in Vermont to pick up my tuner and real book that I left there one day, and Pat was on the recliner watching this on YouTube, just weeping away.

Glad a lot of us like Zappa.

Anything from 'Shut Up and Play Your Guitar, 3 disc vinyl box, good sound too.

Yes guys, 'Watermelon' is right up there.
