Notes

Studio recording, 1977. Todd Rundgren played the solo and the iconic 'motorcycle' section using a Fender Mustang for its extreme whammy bar range. No evidence of live rig or alternate guitars for this solo. No evidence of specific amp model, but context and era suggest a cranked British-style tube amp.

Difficulty

The solo requires advanced whammy bar technique, fast picking, and expressive control of dynamics and harmonics, making it challenging for most guitarists.
