I don't cry over guitar solos but Ernie Isley is responsible for some of the greatest ones when it comes to invoking emotion. When I read the title, I thought it was going to be about guitar solos where the artist does a good job of making the guitar "cry". "Maggot Brain" comes to mind.
On a side note, the chick dancing in the wrap skirt on the Isley Bros. clip was one of the chicks in the infamous R. Kelly tape. Henceforth known as "swivel chair girl"

Carlos Santana has some amazing guitar solos and there are a few that are quite emotional.
He is definitely a master and probably even a virtuoso as well. I have a ton of his music and he never ceases to amaze me. | |

When I was 1st gettin into The Eagles, Stevie Ray Vaughn, Hendrix, Clapton, and Zeppelin they'd look at me funny and say those guys sucked and that The White Stripes and Blink 182 was better than all of 'em. | |

Ernie Isley and Eddie Hazel are two of the more over-rated lead guitarists, in my honest opinion. I imagine them as two Hendrix wannabes who are simply masters of the pentatonic scale and I think that's entirely boring. Yeah, both of them can play a generic blues solo, but I'd rather listen to Curtis Mayfield's original rhythm playing than a blistering, generic "sexi solas" from those two.
I don't like musicians who use "emotion" as the sole means of connecting with me. But, if you can express something interesting or original, with some dexterity coupled with personality, I can work with you. Off the top of my head, Hendrix's solo in "Machine Gun" is a great example of that. So I say to "crying guitars"....get you some "Machine Gun." Wine is good. | |

You wanna hear a guitar reduced to tears? I recommend Zappa's 'Watermelon in Easter Hay:
