Thank you for getting me interested in checking out this song, I will listen to it later today after I'm done with school. If you are into guitar that is full of emotion, then I'd suggest you check out Machine Gun by Jimi Hendrix live at the Fillmore East January 1st 1970. This is my favorite guitar solo of all time (this is coming from a HUGE guitar nerd lol), and I really think one could make a case for it being the best guitar solo of all time (although I know that is subjective at the end of the day).
In this solo, he expresses anger, despair, sadness, rage and all in between. It is the pinnacle of guitar improvisation. In addition, if you take into account the context, it becomes 10x better. It was during the Vietnam war, and this was Hendrix's protest against it. I highly recommend everyone reading this to go check it out. It will not disappoint.
