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.

No question!  Has to be "In Memory of Elizabeth Reed" by Dickey Betts of the Allman Brothers Band as played live at the Fillmore East.  That is a piece of classical electric guitar!  I have some other favorites by Eric Clapton, Joe Bonamassa, Jimmy Hendrix, Jimmy Page, Jose Feliciano and others but "In Memory of Elizabeth Reed" takes the cake!
