Notes

Live performance at Beacon Theatre, 2024. Derek Trucks is known for using his '61 SG and Fender Super Reverb for solos in Tedeschi Trucks Band live shows. No evidence of pedal use for the solo; tone is shaped by guitar volume/tone and amp settings. No evidence of alternate guitars or amps for this song/solo at this show.

Difficulty

The solo requires advanced slide technique, precise intonation, and expressive phrasing at a medium-fast tempo. The player must control sustain and dynamics with touch and volume/tone knobs, making it challenging for all but experienced slide guitarists.
