Notes

Studio recording, 1969. Mick Taylor played the solo on a Gibson Les Paul Standard through an Ampeg SVT amp, as documented in multiple reputable sources. Not Keith Richards' Telecaster for the solo. No evidence of pedal use on the studio solo. Pickup selector likely in bridge position for lead tone.

Difficulty

The solo requires intermediate technique, including expressive bends, vibrato, and dynamic control to capture the classic rock phrasing and articulation.
