Your Favorite, Most Outstanding Guitar Solo


Of all the musical performances I own on recorded format, whether they be LP or CD, there are certain guitar solos that are the most engaging and memorable. You know, the ones that when they're over, you just sit there speechless, wondering "How the hell did they just do that"?

As with anything, there are certain performances when everything was "just right". When the musician had that "perfect connection" between themselves and the instrument. This is not limited to acoustic or electric, live or studio, or any specific discipline of music. It also does not necessarily have to be your favorite guitarist. Very simply, your favorite guitar solo.

I would like to hear your opinions. This would be a great thread for providing exposure to other listeners, to material that they may be unaware of. If possible, also name the album that the solo is from.

My two favorites would have to be:

Jeff Beck / "The Golden Road" off of "There And Back".

John Mc Laughlin / "Every Tear From Every Eye" off of "Electric Guitarist"

Thanks for your responses.

This one started it all for me - now I can't get enough of him or Steve Kimock.

Kinda funny, but I don't think I saw a single reference to Carlos Santana in the posts above - just listened to Moonflower (LP) yesterday and it blew me away, again.
Sorry, previous post got messed up - I was referring to John Cipollina (Quicksilver Messenger Service) doing the "Who Do You Love Suite" from the Happy Trails album - sublime!!
"Blue Incantation" Sanjay Mishra and Jerry Garcia
"You Don't Love Me" Allman Bros. "Fillmore"
"NRPS" New Riders Of The Purple Sage
