Your favourite guitar solo

I'm going to have to go with 'Stairway to Heaven". I was astonished when I found out Jimmy Page used an old Fender Telecaster, so long the poor relation of the Fender Stratocaster & the Gibson Les Paul to record it...

"The extended Jimmy Page guitar solo in the song's final section was played for the recording on a 1959 Fender Telecaster given to him by Jeff Beck (an instrument he used extensively with the Yardbirds)[15] plugged into a Supro amplifier,[16] although in an interview he gave to Guitar World magazine, Page also claimed, "It could have been a Marshall, but I can't remember"."

Just listening to it again, first time in long time... majestic is the only word I can come up with.

Personal favourites are always such individual choices. Usually no one else likes my favourites, which makes me love them even more.

David Gilmour at Pulse, 1994. One of the best experiences I've ever had.

Even before the Who was LinedRay, but this was still extraordinary for 1965 I think.. way before Hendrix...
