Effects & Signal Chain

Notes

Live performance, May 8, 1977 (Cornell, Barton Hall); Jerry's 'Wolf' guitar was used for the solo, with the signal routed through a Silverface Fender Twin Reverb preamp into a McIntosh MC2300 power amp and JBL K-120 speakers. No evidence of distortion pedals; effects are primarily amp-based. No evidence of studio overdubs or alternate guitars for the solo.

Difficulty

The solo demands intermediate to advanced phrasing, clean articulation, and dynamic control, but does not require extreme speed or advanced techniques like sweep picking.
