Notes
Studio recording, 1967. Clapton used the neck pickup for the solo. Wah pedal (Vox V846) was used for the out-of-phase/wah effect. Settings and gear are based on period-correct studio documentation and direct source evidence for Cream's Disraeli Gears sessions.

Difficulty
The solo requires intermediate technique, especially in controlling the wah pedal expressively, maintaining sustain, and executing smooth bends and vibrato within a classic rock context.
