Notes

Studio recording, 1973-74. Mick Ralphs used his '57 Esquire for the solo, with the guitar in open-C tuning for the song. No evidence of pedals or effects other than possible amp reverb and tape echo. No evidence of live rig or alternate guitars for the solo section.

Difficulty

The solo is intermediate due to its melodic phrasing, bends, and need for expressive articulation, but does not require advanced speed or complex techniques.
