Yes, Keith!
At some point there was confusion that it was Eric Clapton, I can't recall if that was in the Tony Sanchez book - but to this day I still hear that from people (got in an argument w/ a Stones fan recently that refused to believe it was Keith and he still doesn't!)

Sympathy was recorded at the Olympic Studios in London, June 4-5, 8-10. During these dates, Cream were on intensive North American tour — they played in Vancouver on the 2nd, Toronto on the 5th, Detroit on the 7th-9th and Montreal on the 11th. How could Eric have been present in London? Case closed.

That's funny. Of course it's Keith. It's the world's easiest guitar solo to play. A monkey could play it. Hell, I can play it and I don't even know how to play guitar.

Is it possible it was Brian but everyone was so stoned that they forgot and thought it was Keith.All kidding aside,it’s of course Keith.But sometimes I think the lead guitar on Jumping Jack Flash is Brian
Yes,that single note guitar.It sounds a little bit like Brian’s guitar on Get Off of My CloudQuote

What lead guitar? You mean the single note lick.

The thing with the solo is, not that I doubt it was Keith, but there's more notes in the opening phrase than seemingly most guitar players realise.
I have yet to see/hear anyone play that phrase the way it is on the record.

I was gonna say lol. I also can't play but try to and its not as easy of a solo as you think. I get it in the pantheon but thats really dumbing it down to a crazy degree.Quote

No it's not. No it couldn't and neither could you.
