Notes
Live performance, early 1970s (e.g., 1973 MSG/TSRTS era); Telecaster used for solo, Marshall Plexi amp, no evidence of Les Paul for this section live. Effects include wah and delay. Studio version used Telecaster into Supro Coronado, but live was Marshall Plexi.

The solo requires advanced phrasing, fast pentatonic licks, expressive bends, and nuanced wah pedal use, making it challenging for intermediate players.
