Notes

Studio recording, Loaded album (1970). Gear confirmed by period photos and interviews. No pedals or effects other than amp reverb. Settings are for the studio version, not live. Solo section is not present in the original studio version, but the main lead/solo-like break is played with this rig.

Difficulty

The solo/lead break requires solid rhythmic feel and dynamic picking to bring out the jangly, articulate tone, but does not involve advanced techniques or fast passages.
