Notes

Studio recording, 2007. Jamie Cook played the solo section using the neck humbucker of a '70s Telecaster Custom into a Vox AC30 C2, with minimal gain and moderate reverb. No evidence of pedals in the solo section; reverb is from the amp.

Difficulty

The solo is technically straightforward but requires precise timing, dynamic control, and expressive phrasing to capture the song's laid-back, shuffling feel.
