Notes

Studio recording, 2011. Dallas Green used a Gibson ES-335 with humbuckers for the solo section on the studio version of 'Fragile Bird'. The Matchless 30/15 amp was used in the studio and is confirmed as his main electric amp for this era. No explicit studio pedalboard photo for this song, but pedal choices are inferred from era-correct rig rundown and audible effects.

Difficulty

The solo requires intermediate technique, including expressive bends, dynamic control, and smooth phrasing, but does not demand advanced speed or complex fingerings.
