Notes

Studio recording for 'Midnight in Harlem' (2011, album 'Revelator'). Derek Trucks is known for using a Gibson SG with '57 Classic humbuckers, tuned to open E, and running straight into a Fender Super Reverb with minimal effects. He does not use a pick, plays fingerstyle, and rarely uses pedals. No evidence of pedal use on the studio solo; amp spring reverb is used. Settings estimated based on typical Derek Trucks studio rig and genre. No evidence of live rig or alternate gear for this specific solo.

Difficulty

The solo requires expert slide control, expressive phrasing, and dynamic touch, with precise intonation and vibrato, making it challenging even for advanced players.
