Notes

Studio recording, 1968. Jimmy Page used a borrowed late-50s Gibson Flying V for the solo on 'You Shook Me' (Led Zeppelin I). The amp was a Supro Coronado 1690T combo, as confirmed by multiple interviews and historical sources. No evidence of live rig or alternate guitars for this solo. No evidence of effects loop or amp-based effects beyond natural amp breakup.

Difficulty

The solo requires advanced blues phrasing, expressive bends, and dynamic control to achieve the singing sustain and feedback heard on the recording. The phrasing and sustain management make it challenging for most players.
