| Hitch a ride Boston Tom Scholtz Rock Guitar. Great solo but it is highly produced in the studio it would be real tight to play it like that in a live concert.. |

| I've always thought that George Harrison's solo on Nowhere Man was really perfect and interesting. Actually, he had a lot of brilliantly succinct solos that were also full of character. Not an easy thing to do on demand. |

Another guy who was great at tight little solos on demand was Elliott Easton (Cars)
