And he quit playing slide although that live version of Doncha bother me in 1966/67(?)is amazing.
Eh?! I've never heard this, where's it from?
And now Im confused! Ive heard a song, live, with Brian on slide, from 1966 or 1967 - not Little red rooster - and Im almost certain its Doncha bother me or some other similar song. It's not a slow blues. I found it on youtube, maybe it was removed. Let's find it, I'll try again.
Are you sure it's not 'I'm Moving On' from '65? There's a couple of versions out there.

Yes, early on Brian would still take the odd solo here and there, but even back then one has to say that Keith was by far the busier lead guitarist. And BU singer.

No he wasn't in 62/63 and even early 64 Brain was the back-up singer, and as far as the guitar goes I'll take my info from someone who's actuaaly been there; Dick Taylor in an interview mid 1999;
BRAIN CAME A BIT MORE WITH READY-MADE REPORTOIRE OF LICKS. BUT KEITH AND I WERE CERTAINLY SORT OF LEARNING AT THE SAME TIME, IN A WAY.

Keith was a better rock n roll lead guitarist and Brian was a better blues guitarist (Mona, Little red rooster etc). Keith's solos were good and somtimes very good (Route 66). And great in 1972 (Bye Bye Johnnie) and 1977 (Around and around). You can tell he spent time learning how to play like Chuck Berry. IMO he got that dark feel later with heroin while Brian had it whether he wanted it or not.

Long Tall Sally is one that springs to mind (John played the first solo, George played the second):

Here's Keith in '65. No way Jones could have ever played like this.

Perty much all solos were handled by Keith. Those that had none in the bridge were often a continuation of the rhythm the two had locked into.
Yeah, "I'm Moving On" has a great dirty slide to it. Wish the recording wasn't so poor.
One bit of geetar noone mentions is the electric slide on "Jigsaw Puzzle". I know Keith was compensating by laying down multiple guitar tracks with different axes to hide Jones' absences, but that one ain't Keith. That's Brian before the final meltdown. Very sloppy too, but it's the least song on the LP anyway. Sure would've loved to hear him play on "Parachute Woman".
Keith on sloppy slide - Brian on mellotron set on flutes. That take alone shows what an innovative musician Brian was. I wonder how much he actually plays on BB?Quote

I don t know. Im not impressed by these solos, theyre not bad, but there's really nothing special to them. I know Brian didnt play solos but I prefer his slides and rhythms on the blues songs.

He plays on most parts of the second half of the song.

The only non-slide solo Brian did, to my knowledge, is the Tell Me solo. There was a big discussion about this a couple of years ago and most 'experts' on the site agreed it was probably Brian because they are mere plucked chords. I also think its quite possible that the acoustic solo on Under the Boardwalk is Brian. Other than those two, there are no songs featuring Brian on non-slide solos, which is a real mystery to me. From the I Wanna Be Your Man clip, its clear Brian had the ability to do guitar solos. Yes, I understand that was a slide solo, but, hell, its harder to do that in slide! It seems that Brian and Keith had an agreement from the beginning that Brian would do all the slide stuff and Keith all the standard guitar solos.
I have done that too from time to time.Quote

Mathijs is probably confused with Brian's mellotron on Stray Cat Blues. His mellotron on Jig-Saw is played throughout the entire track.

I would love to see a full "who played what" of that album!Quote

Until recently I believed the myth that Brian was hardly featured on Beggar's Banquet, clearly not true at all!
