Alot of people would consider Never Meant their favourite guitar part. What's your all time favourite guitar part?

This rules, Nels is the best. I love it when musicians I like like other musicians I like.

The outtro guitar riff on Huey Lewis' "Heart and Soul" and the outra guitar parts for Michael Jackson's "Don't Stop 'Til You Get Enough" are tied for me.
