Denny Dias & Skunk Baxter tear it up on guitar.
BTW: Denny is the guy who played the electric sitar solo on Do It Again. He, Skunk, & Elliott Randall played on a lot of early SD songs.

...Reelin' In The Years is iconic.
Another BTW: the twin guitar part that precede Elliott's solos are Skunk & Walter Becker playing.
Walter was an excellent guitar player, but he thought it would be more diverse to have other people play leads. He could have done them himself, but he was as ego free a musician is likely to be.
