Notes
Studio recording, 1972; evidence points to Telecaster into Supro amp for the solo. Some sources suggest out-of-phase pickup wiring or half-cocked wah for the solo. No evidence of Les Paul or Marshall for this section. Houses of the Holy album session.

Difficulty
The solo requires intermediate to advanced control of phrasing, fast blues-rock licks, and expressive use of the wah pedal for tone shaping. The timing and articulation are challenging but not at a virtuoso level.
