Yellow Ledbetter

Cut at the Ten sessions but left off the album, Yellow Ledbetter is McCready's love letter to Hendrix's Little Wing — warm, bell-like clean chords with thumb-fretted bass notes and major-pentatonic fills, drenched in studio reverb. The documented guitar is a Fender '57 reissue Strat with a maple neck (not the black '62 he used elsewhere on Ten). The amp isn't named in any source, so this builds the clean Fender voice his Ten rig points to.
