Notes
Studio recording, 1995 (Blues for Greeny album). Guitar is the original 'Greeny' Les Paul, famous for its out-of-phase neck pickup sound. Amp is a JTM45 reissue prototype, set clean for the solo section. Effects are subtle and studio-based, not live rig.

Difficulty
The solo requires advanced control of dynamics, phrasing, and expressive bends at a slow tempo, making it challenging despite the lack of speed or technical flash.
