Who are the guitar players on Black Cat by Janet Jackson

i heard album version with solo by Jesse Johnson
but i have also heard version with two guitar solos,
second solo sounds like Nuno Betencourt from Extreme.

So how many versions of the song exist and who play rhythm and lead guitars?

Jesse didn't do the solo on the album version. David Berry did.

I know there's a version featuring Vernon Reid.

These things are simple to look up.

There's a single only version with Living Color's Vernon Reid.

The ever fantastic Dave Barry, who has been on tour w/ her since the 1814 tour. He was later her musical director (as of the All For You Tour).

*John McClain, A&R executive for A&M Records, provided the slide-guitar part.
*Jellybean Johnson played the funky guitar part that punctuates the album version of the song.
*Although credited on the album, Jesse Johnson provided a guitar solo that was not used for the album version, but is featured in each of the remixes.
*Several "Black Cat" remixes include Nuno Bettencourt on rhythm guitar.

Dave Barry did the intro and solo, Jesse Johnson did the fade out part towards the end.
