Notes
Studio recording for 'London Calling' album, 1979. Mick Jones used the Telecaster Thinline and Mesa/Boogie Mark I for the clean solo section. Fender Twin Reverb was also present in the studio but the Boogie is most cited for this track. No evidence of live rig or alternate guitars for this section.

Difficulty
The solo requires clean articulation, accurate bends, and dynamic control to maintain clarity and avoid unwanted breakup, but does not involve advanced techniques or high speed.
