This Truly Blew Me Away

I'm not one to go on about guitar solos (I've never been a huge fan of guitar-solo-centric rock), and I haven't seen all the "greats" play, but even so I'm guessing this solo by Eric Clapton has to be one of the top-five electric guitar performances of all time. His tone, melodic expression, and rhythmic syncopation are flawless and awe-inspiring.

Dr. X posts this from a cave in Baluchistan:

"You bloody bastard, using my innate fair-mindedness against me. It took me almost a minute to figure out that this was not one of Clapton's better performances. Must have had an off day, eh?

"Ringo was so a good drummer. Latest Fark flamewar on that topic is here."
