Keith plays the solo, but it's way, way down in the mix. Yet it's mentioned as one of the Stones's greatest solos on record

Half of the "solo" is the open G-licks from his other guitar.

Keith's Short And Curlies deserves a mention. Many still think it's Taylor playing

I thought it was Tayloresque noodling, mind you?

I know

However, there are fans all over Facebook insisting it's Taylor..

Oh boy I can't pick just one. Here are a few of my favorites:

Sympathy For The Devil (Studio Version + Both solos from GET YER YA YA'S OUT)
Sway
Winter
Time Waits For No One
Hot Stuff
Hand Of Fate
Far Away Eyes
Shattered
Let Me Go
Worried About You

Sympathy studio

Havana Moon out of control has a great one, but its live.

The Mick Taylor solo in "Hide Your Love"

. It doesn’t sound anything like Keith on Short and curlies.Its annoying noodling and sounds like one of Taylorsworst.It sounds a little like his playing on Don’t You Lie to Me from Ft Worth1972.And Keith never plays that fast and fluid as the guitar is playing at the outro

It lacks Taylor's vibrato and fluidity, but the melodic approach reminds me of Taylor. It's Keith and I like it. One of Keith's best noodling ever.

It’s a great solo, my personal fav of his. Very lyrical.

It’s Richards playing in standard tuning, playing over the top of the vocals. In the studio! That’s why I take his comments with a grain of salt. That’s such a throw away song all around. One of the lamest songs of that stellar era.

Richards could play fast, he just didn’t. He never really ventured up and down the neck whilst playing solos but stayed in one or two positions playing pentatonic blues based stuff. Listen to the Dallas Rehearsals, he’s playing lead all over the place with many fast licks. It lacks the harmonic composition of Taylor’s solos, IMO.

I'm surprised nobody mentioned It's All Over Now . . . . or did I miss it?

HBK

That's my first choice too: It's All Over Now.
Others:
- Down the Road Apiece
- Sympathy for the Devil (both the studio version and the Get Yer Ya Ya's version (both Keith and Mick T.))
- Tie You Up (Pain Of Love)

Sympathy
Stoned
I Can't be Satisfied
No Expectations
Heartbreaker
Dance Little Sister
Hand of Fate

I think you can't mess with Gilmore here - he's on a complete different plane.

I LOVE his playing and his Strat sound! And I keep playing those albums, from Obscured By Clouds on, even Ummaguma ...

But a guitar solo is not what I really xpect from my beloved band on this scale, to be honest. Mick T. and Ronnie (especially during the last tours as he's getting better - listen to his solos on GS for instance or his flawlss slide on Stripped - LIV!!) did much to improve the sound and virtuosity of the Stones.

But to answer to a Gilmore solo ... hmmm, that's a tough choice.

Maybe, the band as a unit can answer that, not precisely in terms of viruosity but intensity. Try this maybe for an answer:

None of them

Taylor on slide, Keith on lead. And it sounds classic Keith. Only he plays more than he used to in that era.

IORR is the most Tayloresk studio album, there we find the best solo efforts: Time Waits For No One, Dance Little Sister (Mick T), but also: Ain't too Proud to Beg (Keith). And I remember: Keith on Hold On To Your Hat, I suppose, on Steel Wheels. At least it is the fastest and most fluid effort by Keith (if it is really Keith).

In fact, I love that song, and I confess, that I thought it is MT.

Live:
SFTD and Gimme Shelter from Atlantic 89

Studio:
CYHMK from SF

Actually, I stand corrected. I listened again and I agree it is Keith. I'm pretty sure the slide in the intro is Taylor but I agree the rest if it is Taylor-esque noodling by Keith

It`s hard to name just 1 solo. But i have always liked "Hand of fate". Beautiful played solo (by a none Stone... )

Then there is "All Down the line" and "Heartbraker" and "Sway" and "CYHMK" and many more.....

Hard to think of one better than Taylor on CYMK.

Richards litterally invented Route 66
It’s All Over Now still kills me, 56 years after...

Not to forget: Keith on Let Me Go, IMO a perfect simple solo on a Rock'n Roll song.
