Notes
Studio recording, 1966-1967 at Sunset Sound. Robby Krieger used his original SG Special with P-90s (later stolen) and plugged straight into a Fender Twin Reverb. No evidence of pedals or effects other than amp reverb. All sources agree this was the studio setup for the solo on the debut album.

Difficulty
The solo requires advanced fingerstyle technique, jazz-influenced phrasing, and dynamic control, making it challenging for most players despite moderate tempo.
