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.

And yes, David Gilmour "Comfortably Numb"

millercarbon +1 Roy Clark…..made hair stand up.

Danny Gatton- Elmira St. Boogie (the “Telemaster” barely lost out to Eric Johnson’ Cliffs of Dover in 1990)
Michael Hedges- Aerial Boundaries (it’s ONLY him on the 6 string..)

Roy Clark does make my hair stand up. This one makes my eyes gently weep. That he is no longer with us....  https://youtu.be/6SFNW5F8K9Y?t=200

Vince Gill nicknamed Danny Gatton ’The Humbler". When he felt his band were becoming a little too pleased with themselves he would play a Gatton CD on the tour bus sound system to put them in their place. ;-)
