Notes

Studio recording, 1973. Allen Collins played the solo on the original studio version. No evidence of pedals or effects other than amp overdrive and possible spring reverb. No evidence of Peavey Mace or other amps for this era/studio recording. Live performances in later years may have used different gear, but this is for the original studio solo.

Difficulty

The solo features moderately fast pentatonic runs, expressive bends, and dynamic picking, requiring good control and timing but not advanced shred techniques.
