Notes

Studio recording, 1966 (album released 1967). Clarence White played the solo. Sources confirm Gretsch Tennessean for this session. Amp is less certain; Epiphone EA-15RVT is most cited for Byrds studio work of this era, but some sources mention Fender amps for live. No evidence of Rickenbacker or Telecaster for this solo.

Difficulty

The solo requires intermediate-level country picking technique, with clean articulation and dynamic control, but does not involve advanced speed or complex phrasing.
