Notes
Studio recording, 2003 (Blues Deluxe album). Bonamassa is known to blend amps, but for the solo, sources confirm the high-powered Twin was used for the 'bigger, thicker tones'. No evidence of live rig or other amps for this specific solo section.

Difficulty
The solo requires advanced blues phrasing, expressive control of bends and vibrato, dynamic picking, and nuanced wah pedal use, making it challenging for most intermediate players.
