Lou Reed, Sweet Jane.

You've got to love the guitar work, it captures your soul and takes you on a ride.

Sweet Jane is a fave of mine. I've liked many versions. I even recorded my own.
Hunter & Wagner were big heat in pro guitar circles. Those two played with a lot of famous artists.
Fun Fact: Steve Hunter played that fantastic acoustic part on Peter Gabriel's Salisbury Hill.
I played this album & Lou Reed Live over & over
The bass work is awfully good too, especially at around 2:10.
