Notes

Live at Fillmore East, March 1971. Both Duane Allman and Dickey Betts used Les Pauls (Duane: 1959 Cherry Sunburst, Dickey: 1957 Goldtop or SG) with Marshall Plexi amps. No evidence of pedal use; amp overdrive only. Settings estimated based on era, genre, and amp type. This is the definitive live version.

Difficulty

The riff section requires advanced rhythm skills, jazz-influenced chord shapes, and dynamic control, making it challenging for most players.
