Notes

Studio recording, 1987. The solo section of 'Last Train Home' features Pat Metheny on a Coral/Danelectro Electric Sitar, not a standard guitar. The amp is inferred from Metheny's known studio use in this era and the characteristic clean, chorus-heavy sound. No evidence of live rig or alternate gear for this studio recording.

Difficulty

The solo demands intermediate-to-advanced control of phrasing and touch to achieve the signature sitar-like sustain and articulation, especially with heavy chorus and reverb masking mistakes.
