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.

schmitty -- yeah, Bill Nelson... A truly excellent fret flyer. I saw Bebop Deluxe at the Santa Monica Civic. For the third encore, Nelson came out alone and, in the tradition of Al Jolson,  promised to solo until the audience asked him to stop. Eventually, sorry to say, I had to let my feet do the walking.
