Sorry, pal but thats not at all what I said. I weighed in on the early 
stages of this thread, but this conversation has taken on a life of its 
own, and become  and I've stopped reading them. The quotes you mention 
did not come from me at all.

Thanks for fessing up.

COMPETITION
Regarding competition, John and Paul did not have a wonderful 
relationship - they were each trying to compete and outdo the other - and 
the result was the top selling band ever - but when they went their 
separate ways, their quality went down considerably.

SOLOS 
My favorite is the unnamed jazzy piece after Purple Haze by Hendrix at 
Woodstock (played in octaves A A C D E (then some slides)).

On of my all time  favorite guitar players - who no one mentioned at all 
- is Mick Ronson - who co-produced Bowie's best stuff, had two solo 
albums and played with Ian Hunter of Mott the Hoople and later produced 
some John Cougar Mellencamp. The solo on "Once Bitten Twice Shy" is so 
great!
