Notes
Studio recording, American Beauty/Europe '72 era (solo section, Jerry Garcia). No evidence of pedal use except possibly wah in other songs; solo is clean with amp reverb. No evidence of live-specific gear for this studio take.

Difficulty
The solo is intermediate due to its melodic phrasing, dynamic picking, and need for clean articulation; not technically fast but requires control and feel.
