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.

Hey @roxy54 the name of the song is literally "I was only Joking".   Sorry about the confusion.  :-)
Too many to mention but Steve Howe’s soulful solo in the middle of the Yes’ "To Be Over" is particularly moving (3:55-4:25). Gets me every time.
Lou Reed’s live Sweet Jane opening interlude with Dick Hunter and Steve Wagner. Some of the most epic, melodic, tasteful solos ever recorded.
