What is your favorite guitar solo of all time?

Wes Montgomery, "Round Midnight" is my favorite, while many of those mentioned are my second favorite.

From the LP "Welcome" by Carlos Santana and John McLaughlin there is the tune "Flame/Sky where at 2:30 you get the guitar solos of a lifetime. Just pure bliss IMHO!

Wes Montgomery,wow I almost forgot,he is so clean a player,uses his thumb,no pick,he is a fabulous guitar player.How about impressions from the willow weep for me .album and tear it down from the bumpin lp on those great sounding verve black lp's.Too bad he died of heart attack at 45,my favorite jazz guitarist. Thanks orpheus 10.

Great to see the votes for Wes Montgomery (yeah, Playpen, anyone ever use his thumb like Wes?). Funny, though, I'd have bet that "4 on 6" would be the first solo mentioned. My favorite - and I suspect Jimi's favorite, too.

Duane,

I was indeed thinking of the Kevin Ayers/Nico version of "Baby's On Fire". Thanks.
