Ten-Era Seattle Lift — Les Paul Rhythm & Strat Solo
Stone Gossard supplied the foundational rhythm architecture, while Mike McCready described the lead as an overt Stevie Ray Vaughan-inspired performance. Ten-era documentation supports a Les Paul-based rhythm voice and a Stratocaster-based lead approach, but the exact song-session amp controls are not archived, so the values below are representative.

Notes
Keep Stone’s rhythm broad and steady, then make Mike’s lead brighter and more vocal. The solo should breathe like blues phrasing rather than sound tightly gated.
