To me, among Brian's solos, this is one of the most satifying to the ears. Like someone else mentioned, every note is in its right place.
Similar cases for me are Bohemian Rhapsody, Don't stop me now and It's a Hard Life.
Usually Brian fiddled a bit more when playing the songs live but I really don't see how he could have improved (even replicated) the YDFM solo live. He did a great job with Don't stop me now, though, that last descending run in the Live Killers version takes it to an even higher level.

Weren't the guitars on Back Chat recorded by John?

I don't know which guitars were John and which were Brian, the solo is definitely Brian though. I'd imagine the clean riff throughout the song is John.

Back Chat always jumps into my mind when I think of guitar solo's that are a lot better than the songs they are in[/QUOTE]
I think of Party or The Invisible Man.

It's too bad Brian did not play other guitars more often. While the solo, technically, may not be his best, the tone is incredible. A bit refreshing, actually.

Sometimes I'm so glad I cannot differentiate between what is "technically" good and what isn't. So relieving to be able to simply listen to the music, with ears open. That's all.
