Notes
Studio recording, 1976. Brian May's Red Special into a treble booster and then into a Vox AC30. No evidence of additional pedals or rack effects on the original studio solo. All harmonies and layering done via overdubs. No chorus, delay, or other modulation effects audible or cited for the solo section. Pickup configuration: bridge and middle in series and in phase, as per May's typical solo setup for this era.
