its Bill Nelson.

in my opinion, the most perfect solo ever.
short, succinct, technically superb, tasteful.
there may be more emotionally charged stuff out there (anything paul kossoff played for instance)but this is 22 seconds of sheer perfection.

its Bill Nelson.
from the Red Noise album "Sound On Sound"
song called "The Atom Age"
