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.

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.

I was going to post but @Noromance already listed it so I’ll second it. Roger Waters - Dogs (with Snowy White and Doyle Bramhall ll) Doyle Bramhall II plays David Gilmour better than David Gilmour.  I’m not sure why but it’s even more mesmerizing because he’s left handed.
