Notes

Studio recording for 'In Step' album (1988-1989). Vaughan used his main Stratocaster ('Number One') and a blend of vintage Fender amps, with the Vibroverb being the most consistently cited for this era and tone. Pedals were used sparingly, with the Tube Screamer as a key component for solos. No evidence of live rig or non-Strat guitars for this solo.

Difficulty

The solo requires advanced blues phrasing at a fast tempo, with heavy string bending, rapid picking, and dynamic control to maintain clarity and sustain, making it challenging for most players.
