Ronson's playing on Moonage daydream is magical. Shit load of delay

ah yeah - good call,   about the only one I can match  "fav guitarist"  with "fav solo"

I think of great solo's  and its not my fav gutiarist, I think of fav guitarists, and there isnt "really" one solo that for me identifies them/stand out amongst their others

@CHRISB50 Peter Green is a good one, I ought to have included him in my list
