On the Aerosmith record, it's actually 2 different guys on the first and second parts and neither of them was Joe Perry.

Was it Whitford? I did not know that!

Nope, even though Whitford is a great guitarist. Here's something from my MFU article:

“Train Kept A-Rollin'” was included on Aerosmith’s second album “Get Your Wings”. It consisted of two different versions of the song. The first part was slower, “more groove-oriented”, while the second was a spirited rocker. To give the second part more of a live sound, producer Jack Douglas overdubbed crowd noise from “The Concert for Bangladesh” recordings. Steve Hunter and Dick Wagner, who worked with Lou Reed and Alice Cooper, were brought in to record the guitar parts. According to Hunter:

"We [Wagner and I] wanted to keep the solos equal so we’d sit down … and go through the material so it was totally even … We didn’t want it to look like there was a rhythm guitar player and a lead guitar player, because that’s what we both did."

Hunter later elaborated:

"Aerosmith was in Studio C of The Record Plant and I was doing work with Bob Ezrin in Studio A. I had a long wait between dubs and was waiting in the lobby. Jack Douglas popped his head out of Studio C and asked ‘Hey, do you feel like playing?’ I said sure, so I grabbed my guitar and went in … I had two run thru’s [sic], then Jack said ‘great that’s it!’ That turned out to be the opening solos on ‘Train Kept A Rollin’."

Cool. That is something I never knew of or even considered. I just assumed that either Joe or Brad had played those parts.
