Notes

Studio recording, 2018 album. Walter Trout is confirmed to use his 1973 Stratocaster with vintage-style single-coils and a Mesa/Boogie Mark IV set to high-gain for solos. He does not use pedals for this tone, relying on the amp's gain and EQ. No evidence of live rig or alternate guitars for this recording.

Difficulty

The solo requires advanced blues phrasing, expressive bends, and dynamic control of the guitar's volume knob to shape the tone, making it challenging for most intermediate players.
