That ain’t real. That is a voice over.
Ick!
Seriously though, you can tell that there is great respect between the two, although BB plays it up for the audience amusement as a comedic ruse, there is no doubt that BB respects Gary's talent. I just get a kick out of the whole thing, where Gary looks like he's trying to impress BB with zillions of gnat notes and BB just makes goofy faces before playing almost the exact same thing with more soul and far fewer notes. What it takes Gary 100 zillion notes to accomplish, BB gets the same thing with only 4 notes ;)
Dave Gilmour - Comfortably Numb
Randy Rhoads - Crazy Train
Vernon Reid - Cult of Personality
My all time favorite and trust me it was very hard to choose just one is Larry Carlton playing with Steely Dan doing the title cut from the “Kid Charlemagne” album.
Them hommies are just power chording it... man I’m listening to walen jennings, marty robbins, merle haggard, jimmi hendrix, ... and you throw this sh!t on the board?
Slightly less creepy, then.
Funny to think he beat Frampton to the punch, among others.

Joe Walsh/Rocky Mountain Way
Nice Setzer video. Did you check out the 8-year old blues player clip next to it? Unbelievable!

Lenny Kravitz, Are You Gonna Go My Way
I agree. I was only referring to the guitar work.
Favorite (and greatest) guitar solo ever? That would be Clapton, with Cream (back in the days when he could actually play), live version of “Crossroads.” Fiery and passionate, compact, impeccably timed, not a note out of place.
Others have come close - Neal Schon on “Toussaint L’Overture,” Mick Taylor wailing on “Love In Vain,” Hendrix on “Voodoo Child,” Page’s inferno on “Communication Breakdown,” Duane Allman on “Statesboro Blues.”
Oh, heck, what’s a list without:
Stevie Ray Vaughan, “Crossfire”
Leslie West, “Theme From An Imaginary Western”
Roy Buchanan, “The Messiah Will Come Again”
Martin Barre, “Aqualung”
Robert Fripp, “21st Century Schizoid Man”
John McLaughlin, “Dream”
Johnny Ramone, “Blitzkreig Bop”
...and too many are still not yet on the list....
I wasn’t talking to YOU.
It was good, though.
Top Acoustic albums.
I still have “Beyond Nature”, “Master and the Musician”, “Brushstrokes” and “Lights of Madrid” on my music player.
Well worth investigating.
