Something very moving about Garcia's solo on "Cold Rain and Snow" off the Steal Your Face LP. Simple, brief, yet beautiful. My favorite for this moment but ask me tomorrow and I'll have something else in mind.
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.
