Notes

Studio recording, 1966-1967. The solo section on the original 'Red House' studio track was played on a Stratocaster, not Flying V or SG (those were used live later). No evidence of pedals or effects other than possible light amp reverb. No fuzz or wah audible in the solo. No evidence of effects loop or studio effects on the guitar track.

Difficulty

The solo requires advanced blues phrasing, dynamic control, and expressive bending/vibrato, making it challenging for most intermediate players.
