There were the Stones with Brian, then with Taylor and then with Wood, according to taste each one has preferences, but maybe not.
I prefer Brian period, undoubtedly the best time Stones, Wood I like it because it is much more like Brian, while Taylor is another matter entirely.

I think it's a combination of both great tone, vibrato, flow and speed. Taylor never had the speed, which comes naturally comes to anyone with enough mastery of the instrument.

I'm not a fast guitar player, but I can still play any Taylor solo note for note after a day of two if I want to learn it. It may not sound like Taylor but from a technical standpoint he has never played anything which requires 5+ hours of daily practice like those others players I mentioned.

I don't quite agree w/ you Knife; MT didn't do it for drawn out passages, but I have heard him play fast. Esp. in the live 73 shows. Stones music just doesn't call for that kind of playing.
Again - it seems that it was a choice of his, the way he played. He comes from the school of Blues, and I personally take his style of Blues over Jimmy Page Blues. He plays differently on his solo stuff.

When I say fast I mean this kind of speed: John Petrucci solo. Not the Clapton inspired hammer-on licks Taylor always played. Taylor had other qualities to his playing and not being a fast player does not make one less worth as a guitar player, but the fact still remains that you can't call Taylor a fast guitarist or a virtuoso. BTW Taylor was much closer to being a ''virtuoso'' than the sloppy Jimmy Page was. smiling smiley

I really don't have any favorite RW solos. I prefer Keith's virtuoso chord and riff playing. I know Keith enjoys the "weaving" with Ronnie, but personally I preferred the more lead playing style of Mick Taylor.

You don't like his Wild Horses or Angie-solo from Hold On Tight 1975?

I would be interested in hearing why..

Ronnie talented but the Angie solo just doesn't move me at all. I didn't hear Wild Horses.

I fear we might be speaking in different languages by now. That Petrucci clip is cold to me. I would never call that a virtuoso. It's just fingers moving really fast. I have seen these rare 8 or 9 year olds who can just fly all over the fretboard; or on a piano. But ..we need some kind of emo 'tipping the hat'.
