I recently stumbled upon a vid of 25 or 6 to 4 from a live performance at Tanglewood in 1970.

I always thought that Terry Kath was a really good guitarist and had read he was very well respected by his peers, but after hearing this live performance...just wow. Of course, incredible technical facility, but the way the solo is structured is amazing. He had something to say and said it perfectly. It's not just a solo about showing off his chops, though he has technique out the wazoo.

If you haven't heard the live version, give it a listen.
