Ronnie?

that high guitar sounds obviously speed up so I bet that was Keith at double speed. He had the chops for that back then...

That's been attributed to Rick Grech on electric violin by some, not so sure myself as there seem to be som very guitar and very Keith like licks in there.

The recorded slower and then sped up tape of Keith on guitar certainly seems plausible to me.

I think it's possible that this was done for his Sympathy solo too.

It sure sounds like Keith to me, and certainly not a violin.

Concerning recording the solo's at slower speed: on both tracks I do not hear anything that can not be played (by Keith, in 1968) at normal speed.

I bet there was some editing involved though -he probably recorded two dozen licks, and they spliced it all together to get this fantastic solo.

To play the licks on Pay Your Dues requires playing at top of the fretboard a lot, quite awkward, but also some licks to seem to be some what more speedy than we are used to hearing from Keith.

Regarding Sympathy, the opening lick slowed right down shows that it has more notes than most seem to realise, at least judging by the YouTube attempts at it. There isn't any prior recorded evidence showing Keith playing something so fast.

He doesn't play it the same in the One Plus One film, he plays it more like Youtubers do in that.

I say : Big Jim Sullivan.

At first on the top of my head I thought Jimmy Page but then I wasn't convinced.
I did a research on Necrophilia the song and i got it linked with Metamorphosis.
I looked at the list on musicians for that album and Jimmy was listed and also Big Jim Sullivan. So between the 2, I 'll Sullivan.

Fascinating early version. Whether it's 'Pay Your Dues' or 'Street Fighting Man,' it's a great sounding track and I love it.

Real show offs these guys were. I can see the lead guitar solo behind his back and standing on the bass...but why can't the drummer just sit down and play the drums?

The same reason why the guitarist and the bass player don't stand up and play the guitar straight up

Don't be silly. Those credits are for the obvious non stones tracks on the album.

Doesn't sound like Keith to me. Some fast runs in the ending that he never does.

Dave Mason?

Could be, or indeed an electric violin as there are some weirdness going on inbetween some of the licks.

It sounds a lot like what happens if you fully open the fuzz on the Supreme -it makes it all sound a lot faster, with the hammer-ons suddenly flting out!

It does have the Vox solid state sound, but with so much upper fret work, I'm on the fence as to whether it is a guitar or not.

A better quality recording would be helpful.
