Notes

Live performance, 1993, with B.B. King. Guitar is the famous 'Greeny' Les Paul with out-of-phase wiring. Amp is the Marshall Bluesbreaker combo, confirmed as used for this song's live video. No explicit pedalboard evidence for this specific performance; Moore often ran straight into the amp for blues solos.

Difficulty

The solo requires advanced blues phrasing, expressive vibrato, and dynamic control, especially with the unique out-of-phase pickup sound. While not shred-level, the emotional nuance and technical control needed make it challenging for most players.
