rheaub2, you are soooo right about that solo. I have been stealing and playing solos from Willy for years, and there is no guitar player better if you want to learn how to play solos.
He understands that great solos are melody, not endless riffs, and that they should fit organically into the song.
I can't think of any guitar player who has played more great solos, and more beautiful solos, than Willy. And this one is one of the best of all.
I'll get it down one of these days.

"Willie can play that 'ol beat up 6 string...better 'n any one that's ever been...Lovi'n her was easier... that than anything I'll ever do again"
you're welcome.
Willie's guitar solo @ 2:57 is the game-changer here, just masterful and Kristofferson backs off knowing that Willie is in charge, taking his song to a higher level. Willie hears sounds that others don't and has the gift of sharing those sounds through the guitar and his distinct phrasing. An awesome demonstration here for all of us who pick and sing and maybe write a bit. And KK is delighted to hear his song interpreted so well, transforming it really.

There are some of us who had this music in our souls and we knew every word to these songs long before we ever heard them. And then when we heard Willie artistically bring them to life- well....he brings something to life in all of our souls.
Thanks Willie
