Notes

Studio recording, 1980 (album 'The Turn of a Friendly Card'). Guitarist for solo: Ian Bairnson. Evidence for Stratocaster with classic non-locking tremolo from forum discussion referencing out-of-tune notes due to whammy use. No direct evidence for amp or pedals; settings estimated based on era, genre, and typical studio practice.

Difficulty

The solo requires intermediate to advanced control of the Stratocaster tremolo for expressive bends, fast melodic phrasing, and dynamic touch, but does not involve extreme technical shredding or complex timing.
