Notes

Studio recording, 1970 (remastered 2014). The solo section is widely believed to be played on a Gibson J-200 acoustic or possibly a semi-acoustic electric, mic'd directly into the mixing console. No evidence of electric solidbody or classic amp rig for this solo. No pedalboard or stompboxes confirmed for this specific recording.

Difficulty
