Notes

Studio recording, 1972. Dickey Betts played the solo on the original studio version. No pedals or stompboxes are documented for the clean solo; guitar is plugged straight into the amp. Allman Brothers were known for using the ES-335 and Les Pauls for clean solos in this era, with the Twin Reverb as the primary clean amp in the studio.

Difficulty

The solo is intermediate due to its melodic phrasing, expressive bends, and the need for dynamic control to maintain a clean, singing tone without overdrive.
