I disagree, I think the solo in the studio version of 'Dead Flowers' is Keith. The vibrato and bends are not quite tidy enough for it to be Mick and I am sure it would be alot more elaborate and less 'country' if it was Mick - more like how he played it on L&G.
That solo is NOT Keith - period - end of story. |

On Dead Flowers:
Jagger on acoustic. The first electric (left channel) is Keith doing leads, played on the Ampeg Dan Armstrong, on the guitar quite some reverb is added. On 0:16 Taylor enters the right channel with a dry finger picked electric, played on his brown Gibson ES-345. Both play Fender Silverface Twin Reverb amps. The guitars don't switch channels anymore. In the chorus, Taylor stops playing picked guitar, and play counter leads to Keith, who does pentatonic minor country bends. The next chorus, Taylor continues picking, while Keith plays the lead fills again, while a piano enters Keith's channel. The guitar solo is Taylor, and is beautiful due to its simplicity. It's a very Keith solo, but the timing and fluidity are clearly Taylor. I also think it is a one-taker: listen closely how Taylor occaisionally hits the pickup with his pick, resulting in a distorted clicking sound. This is something you repair when you do several takes. The entire song is beautiful due to its simplicity, it's just two guitars, an acoustic, a piano and unison vocals. That's it, no overdubs or anything.
By the way, Taylor is a beautiful player, but I would't call him a technical player. He is very fluid and can play blistering fast, but he never uses tricks of anykind, and ones you get hold of Taylor's speed, most of his solo aren't that hard to copy (of course, you'll never get his vibrato right). You don't need to study technical tricks in order to play like him. His genius is in his melodic sense. He is able to build every solo into a song itself, and never plays the same solo twice.
