Genesis with Steve Hackett used quite a few dual leads, even though he was only one person...

And one of the great examples:  Joe Walsh & Glen Frey on Hotel California.  Not necessarily well-thought of on this site, but those twin guitar solos are near perfection.

And then there is the pairing of Allan Holdsworth and Ollie Halsall on Tempest's  BBC Radio One In Concert set (recorded 1972 or '3), but released only a few years aback on the double Under the Blossom: The Anthology . Some of the playing heard takes a lot of beating

Good point . Bruce Welsh  and Hank Marvin certainly had a very sympathetic set up wrt lead and harmony  chords, but never striking off as two true leads.  What of the other forgotten UK instrumental groups: Shane Fenton's Fentones (1 hit wonders - with Riders In The Sky?????), Billy Fury's Tornados (pre-Telstar)?? or Billy Kramer's group? Was the early 60's hit Sleepwalk by Santo & Johnny, dual lead?

Of course he was not the first one, but Michael Rother could create excellent harmonized guitar pieces by dubbing himself (in his first three albums)
