Notes

Studio recording, 1984, from the album 'Couldn't Stand The Weather'. SRV is known to use his 'Number One' Strat and Fender Vibroverb for clean blues tones in the studio. Tube Screamer may be present but set for minimal drive or as a clean boost. Settings are for studio, not live. No evidence of chorus, delay, or other modulation in the clean solo section.

Difficulty

The solo demands advanced control over dynamics, phrasing, and vibrato, with clean articulation and expressive bends, making it challenging for most players.
