Notes

Studio recording, 1989 album 'Tenderly'. All evidence points to Benson using his Ibanez GB10 into a Polytone Mini Brute for his classic clean jazz tone in this era. No pedals or external effects are documented for this recording; reverb is likely from the amp or studio. No evidence of live rig or alternate amp for this studio version.

Difficulty

The solo requires mastery of jazz chord-melody, nuanced phrasing, and dynamic control, making it challenging for all but advanced players.
