Notes
Studio recording, 1967. George Harrison played the solo using his Stratocaster through a Vox UL730 amp, with the amp signal routed through a Leslie speaker for the swirling effect. No evidence of pedals; the effect is from the Leslie and studio routing.

Difficulty
The solo requires intermediate technique due to its phrasing, bends, and the challenge of playing in sync with the Leslie modulation, but does not involve advanced speed or complex fingerings.
