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.

on the quad version of BST's "spinning wheel" during the bridge you can hear a tasty little steve katz guitar solo riding over jim fielder's bass. on all other editions this solo is missing, a crime IMHO.

I love many David Gilmour's solos.   Since it has been suggested many times already in this post.  I'm going to go with the guitar solo in one of my favorite Rod Stewart's songs:

I was only Joking.

According to wikipedia,  it was played by an English guitarist named Jim Cregan

Two that come to mind immediately, Keith lighting up 'Bitch' and his better than Chuck work on Ya Ya's 'Carol'.
