Notes

Studio recording, 1972. Joe Walsh played the solo on a Fender Telecaster with a B-Bender through a Fender Black Panel Deluxe amp. No evidence of pedals in the studio chain; amp reverb used sparingly. B-Bender used for pedal steel-style bends. Settings and gear are for the original studio recording, not live or later performances.

Difficulty

The solo requires intermediate-level technique due to the use of a B-Bender for pedal steel-style bends, precise slide phrasing, and dynamic picking. While not fast, the articulation and intonation demand control and familiarity with country-rock phrasing.
