    George Harrison is on the slide guitar in the first solo and then that is classic Alvin Lee on the rest of it, but it was fascinating to me as a huge Ten Years After fan, because Alvin often doesn't play with that guitar tone and effect and the pinch harmonics, and yet here he is presaging all kinds of things to come, including the famous Comfortably Numb solo, and in a way Eddie Van Halen there near the end. He was so gifted it's mind-blowing and I loved his voice on this as well like I always do. You guys have GOT to listen to some Ten Years After; it's one of the greatest bands from that era.

    Alvin Lee singing--one of the great guitar players in the Btritish blues/rock scene. His "I'm Going Home" performance at Woodstock is legendary. First guitar solo was Harrison (he had a very distinctive sound), the closing solo (the one you asked about) was Alvin Lee

    This is a heartbreaker for sure. That's what I feel when I listen to it. Like tears rolling down and heart torn apart sad. I've had this on my Playlist since I discovered it a couple yrs back--BUT DID NOT KNOW George Harrison played on it too🤯?!! It's the kind of Blues I can get lost in, just sail away on those guitars. THANKS for educating me that GH was playing on this too. I'm shocked. How did I miss that gem of knowledge???!! See... one is Truely never too old to learn. In fact, that's how I felt when I discovered this song. I've loved Alvin & 10yrs After since Woodstock (movie) came out. We were so young then. I live in the Midwest & back then, took about 6mos for us to catch up w/what was happening on either coasts. After seeing Woodstock, the WHOLE CULTURE changed!! Then, 50yrs later I found this song. Another culture shock-never knew Alvin played other songs besides hard core Rock & Roll! Terrific discovery that keeps on giving. Hey...getn older ain't so bad when my Spirit feels SO NEW, again. THANK YOU, SINCERELY💙💯

    Apparently, Alvin and George knew each other and had played together in their local area. Alvin lived not too far from George, but was still rather in awe of him. He thought the song needed something and he got up his nerve and called George who said, “sure, I’ll be right over“ or something to that effect. Apparently, George was pretty free and easy. Brilliance!

    If you really want to hear the blues from Alvin, please consider listening to "Slow Blues In 'C'" from the Ten Years After - Recorded Live album. It has two lead guitar solos and one keyboard solo that are pretty damned good with the impeccable Leo Lyons on bass (his playing is worth the listen by itself). The second guitar solo is right after the keyboard and can knock you back in your seat. The whole album set is ,IMO, one of the best live albums I have ever heard. Very good if you like the Blues/Rock genre.

    The second guitar solo was Alvin Lee....You need to do some of his real blues work like Slow Blues in "C" or Help Me from Ten Years After Live in Europe from 1973...Alvin had a knack for syncopating the blues with Jazz phrasing too....A genius, and his bassist, Leo Lyons was an incredible bassist...

    Also watch the movie they made of the 2002 "Concert For George", where Eric Clapton, McCartney, Ringo, and a large number of Harrison's friends took turns and combined to play Harrison's music. Some of it is on RUclips. The extras on the DVD are great. Plus there is the 2011 Martin Scorsese movie "Living In The Material World". After The Beatles, Harrison developed a recognizable style on slide guitar, as shown in the first solo.

    At first thanks for sharing this beautiful song from two gifted musicians. A lot has already been written about Alvin Lee here and just as many (known) song requests have been expressed. My first Ten Years After album was "Shhh." I just pulled it out of the vinyl collection and listened to it about five or six years ago. Immediately the memories came back - what a cool album and what a great time. I'm not picking a single song because this album didn't appeal to that many people (I guess).

    George Harrison did the first solo and Alvin Lee destroyed his guitar on the second solo. Alvin was the most underrated musician from the 60's and 70's. Their AM radio hit, "I'd Love To Change The World" became an instant classic and has been in many movies, especially Vietnam war movies. I know, I was there in 69-70 and could give you a mile long list of the tunes we played sitting in a hootch in the middle of the jungle, smoking some Thai sticks and drinking Tiger Ale....

    Alvin Lee was one of the greatest guitar players in Rock and Roll History. Check out one of his songs called "I'd Love To Change the World" (1971) for more one this legend named Alvin Lee and his band Ten Years After.
    BTW: Speaking of crying guitar solos, also check out "Lines On My Face" by Peter Frampton from his "Frampton Comes Alive" (1976), and enjoy.
