Notes

Studio recording, 1976-77 Animals sessions. Clean solo sections use Telecaster bridge pickup into Hiwatt DR103. No fuzz/distortion pedal for clean sections. Yamaha RA-200 rotating speaker used for some clean parts, but not always. Settings and effects based on studio context and multiple sources.

Difficulty

The clean solo sections require intermediate-level technique due to complex chord shapes, dynamic picking, and precise phrasing to maintain clarity and articulation without overdrive.
