Favorite Guitar Solo

Thanks. A lot of excellent choices here.  And I was hoping most of you would ignore my request to only choose one. It was just a feeble attempt on my part to focus you guys a bit.

I'll break my own rule.  Jerry Garcia's solo on Dark Star in the Live Dead LP.

Mick Ronson's soaring, we've-left-earth's-atmosphere outro on Ziggy Stardust's Moon Age Daydream.

Television's Tom Verlaine's  maniacal, psychotic solo on "Friction," from the band's debut album. I saw the band at the Whiskey.

schmitty -- yeah, Bill Nelson... A truly excellent fret flyer. I saw Bebop Deluxe at the Santa Monica Civic. For the third encore, Nelson came out alone and, in the tradition of Al Jolson,  promised to solo until the audience asked him to stop. Eventually, sorry to say, I had to let my feet do the walking.

And how could I forget? Mississippi John Hurt.

@oldaudiophile -- 

Bert Jansch, John Renbourn and Doc Watson are among my greatest acoustic guitar influences, along with my two top influences John Fahey and Paul Simon.  Whenever I pick up one of my acoustics, my fingers instinctively do tunes by them. I've seen all of them at various venues. I actually saw Pentangle at the Troubadour.  It might have been my last date with my high school girlfriend who, among other things, taught me how to finger pick, Merle Travis style.
