Notes

Studio recording, 1968 remake (Version #2). Peter Green is widely documented to have used his 'Greeny' Les Paul with out-of-phase pickups and a Matamp Series 2000 amp for this era. No evidence of pedal use on this track; all tone is guitar/amp. Some sources mention a Fender Stratocaster as a backup, but the solo tone is universally attributed to the Les Paul.

Difficulty

The solo requires intermediate-level phrasing, expressive bends, and dynamic control to capture the vocal-like quality and touch sensitivity of Peter Green's playing, but does not involve advanced speed or complex techniques.
