What is your favorite guitar solo of all time?

Carlos Santana, "Blues for Salvador", the 2nd cut "Bella" puts me in a trance.

No question... Hendrix (Band of Gypsys II) "Hear My Train A Comin'. There are a few versions of that song floating around, but on that particular record, it used to blow me away. So much so, that I used to try and time my acid peaks with the main solo (heh, yeah, LSD over 20 years ago).

Still haven't snagged Band of Gypsys on cd an' lost my turntable during an acid trip about 20 years ago... need to get Band of Gypsys again. Also really dig the Little Wing solo from the Jimi Hendrix Concerts disc (1968 live in Winterland)... this one has the coolest LSD warped cowboy underwater sound of any Little Wings I've heard so far.

Sometimes less is more. For example, the few bars of brilliant, crystalline perfection in Todd Rundgren's solo in 'I Saw The Light.'

Jimi Hendrix "Bold As Love" or Janes Addiction "Up The Beach"
