Notes

Studio recording, 1977. The solo on 'Peg' was played by Jay Graydon using a 1974 Fender Stratocaster with stock single-coil pickups, plugged into a Fender Deluxe Reverb. There is no evidence of pedal use on the original studio solo; the tone is achieved with the amp and guitar only. No effects loop or additional outboard effects confirmed for the solo section.

Difficulty

The 'Peg' solo is technically demanding due to its fast, articulate single-note lines, precise bends, and the need for perfect timing and phrasing to match the studio recording's clarity.
