Notes

Live at Ripley's Music Hall, Philadelphia, PA, Oct. 20, 1983. This was a live performance, not a studio session. SRV used his white Charley Wirz Strat with custom Danelectro pickups for Tin Pan Alley solos in this era. Amp was a Fender Vibroverb, likely paired with a Dumble 4x12 cabinet for extra fullness. Effects were minimal, with Tube Screamer as a boost and amp spring reverb. No evidence of chorus or delay pedals in this live context.

Difficulty

The solo demands advanced blues phrasing, dynamic control, and expressive vibrato, with fast runs and precise bends at high volume, making it challenging for most guitarists.
