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.

Frank Zappa’s starting at 01:39 on The Orange County Lumber Truck from Weasels Ripped My Flesh. Played over one of the greatest grooves EVER in rock. Too bad it ends.... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gdSqLEnAw7c (Well, favorite tonight anyway) |
