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.

Surprised no mention of Mike Bloomfield who at one time was considered maybe  the best in the world. Super Sessions, Paul Butterfield, Electric Flag, Dylan's Highway 61 Revisited, live at Newport take your pick.
