Notes

Live performance, May 28, 1977, Hartford Civic Center. Jerry Garcia used his 'Wolf' guitar with coil-split humbuckers and a heavily modified Fender Twin Reverb. No evidence of additional amp heads or other guitars for this solo. No explicit pedalboard details for this show, but Garcia's rig in this era is well-documented. Effects inferred from audio and era-typical rig.

Difficulty

The solo requires advanced phrasing, dynamic control, and the ability to play melodically over shifting chord changes, making it challenging for most guitarists.
