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.

Roll with the Changes (REO Speedwagon)  or Hitch a Ride (Boston). Roll down the windows and turn the volume up to 11!

Elvin Bishop on “Fooled Around and Fell in Love.” I learned it and played it with the band at my second daughter’s wedding reception. Such fun!

Way too many, but one that comes to mind is Robin Trower's solo on "Whaling Stories" from Procol Harum's "Home" lp.

Fripp's solo on "Starless" too
