Notes

Studio recording, 1975. Exact gear confirmed for Wish You Were Here sessions. Clean solo section uses Black Strat with neck pickup, Binson Echorec delay, and Hiwatt amp. No evidence of fuzz or distortion for clean solo. Binson Echorec is a tape-style multi-head delay, not a digital pedal. No chorus or flanger audible in clean solo section.

Difficulty

The solo requires intermediate technique due to expressive bends, precise timing with delay, and dynamic control to maintain clean articulation and sustain.
