Notes

Studio recording, 1982/1983 at Jackson Browne’s Down Town Studio for the Texas Flood album. Only one Vibroverb was miked for the main solo, with the Dumble Dumbleland Special also blended in. Ibanez Tube Screamer used as the only pedal during tracking; Roland SDD-320 Dimension D chorus added in mixing for the solo. No amp reverb or vibrato used.

Difficulty

The solo requires advanced blues phrasing, expressive bends, and dynamic touch, with fast runs and intricate double-stops that demand high technical skill and feel.
