re: What's your favorite guitar harmony?

I recall this solo being absolutely haunting when I'd listen to the Black Album every night through headphones in a dark room before bed, as a teen.

James' guitar work here perfectly conveys the emotions behind the song's lyrics.

You got it. What's interesting about it is how "computery" it sounds - almost like synthesizers. They they have the small break, and it swaps over to Kirk just cranking on the wah - completely different feel!

This is the best song on the Black Album and possibly my favorite overall.

Is that Tom Scholz solely or is that him and Barry Goudreau?

On the record itself, I believe that is all Scholz and overdubbing. Barry joined them on tour, but I believe Scholz pulled a fast one during recording and sent them out of town to record "Let Me Take You Home Tonight" so he could have full control over the rest of the record, which does sound quite different than the final track.

For favorite guitar harmony off that record I think the "Something About You" riff might be tops for me, even though "Hitch a Ride" is probably my favorite track from the first album.
