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.

Alvin Lee / Ten Years After / Woodstock / I'm Going Home. Raw Emotional Energy. Watching the video is definitely an emotional experience for me. Also, there are so many Great solos by numerous guitarists ( Many mentioned here ) that we are lucky to enjoy all of this talent.

Forgot about the "My Guitar Gently Weeps" solo by Prince (starts @ 3:27).

Agree with the sentiment that there are a multitude of choices to answer the question, but if forced to choose just 1, it isn't difficult for me to settle on.....   Tin Pan Alley, Stevie Ray....
