Notes

Studio recording, 1969/1970 for Let It Be sessions; 2021 Mix is a remix of the original studio take. Gear based on documented Let It Be sessions and rooftop performance, which used the same setup for 'Dig a Pony' solo. No evidence of pedal use in the solo section; amp reverb likely used.

Difficulty

The solo requires intermediate-level phrasing, expressive bends, and dynamic control to achieve the touch-sensitive, singing sustain characteristic of the recording.
