My all time favorite blues solo. Great tone.

[B335LLR]

I agree! My fav. too.

[bobgure]

Great tone. The usual(for him) unorthodox phrasing and of course, vibrato!!

[B335LLR]

Any other Mick nos. with such a solo?

[B335LLR]

It is too. That encourages me to add more :)

[Countduncan]

Eat your heart out Ronnie Wood

[edli55]

mick taylor, a real musican, it all ends up meaningful and not a tone too much or too less

[maxwellfan55]

@greenypete Too true mate! Perhaps the solo that all others will ever be judged by?

Peace and Love,

[greenypete]

See you don't have to shred it it to create one of the greatest guitar solos of all time (not just blues). This absolutely stunning

[maxwellfan55]

Don't try working this one out guys, no one, but no one has the scorching TONE of Mick Taylor on fretted notes or slide. Here is the hottest, sweetest, meanest, gut wrenching minor blues guitar solo (and fills) that ever dropped out of the sky from Heaven.

Mick, we'll always love you for this.

God, I had forgotten all about this! I had this album in high school ('72-'73) and I wore this cut OUT! THE stand-out solo on an album showcasing Bluesbreaker alums! Brilliant!

[MrGMmusic]

I think about it this way. I do not compare Mick Taylor with Peter Green or any other Bluesbreaker guitarists. I also do not bother about the theme of the song. It is just a platform for one of the greatest and most sensitive piece of blues guitar ever recorded.

If Mick Taylor did not lift a finger for the rest of his life he would be a legend for this exquisite piece of guitar work. Utterly sublime! Thanks, Mick :-)

@tiborzkarate LOVE PETER GREEN and HATE that Fleetwood Mac kept the name after he left!!!! Peter Green is #1 but Mick Taylor should be #2! The Stones REALLY lost something magnificent when he left.

Beautiful solo by Mick. Low-grade sentiments & lyrics by Mayall.

[HerschelMatthews]

@tiborzkarate

yes, I would put Peter Green right there with Mick.

So many fine Brit-guitarists, bassists, drummers... and on and on...

[HerschelMatthews]

What can I say?

Mick Taylor is the best Brit 6 string player...

AND played that way as a teenager!

Thanks Mick, you made my day, year... ears!

[Kynatics]

hmm...I didn't think the dreary tone fit the subject of the lyrics; but with that amazing guitar performance, I couldn't care less! Mick Taylor is as talented as they get.
