Bruce Springsteen
Electric Guitar Solo on
Sherry Darling

About

Bruce Springsteen's electric guitar solo on "Sherry Darling" is the second of three solos on this boisterous rocker from The River, situated between Clarence Clemons's two tenor saxophone appearances. Playing at 138 BPM in F, Springsteen delivers a brief but spirited guitar solo that maintains the song's good-time energy and party atmosphere. The solo captures the loose, fun-loving side of Springsteen's musical personality, contrasting with the more serious artistic ambitions displayed elsewhere on the double album.

Bruce Springsteen was 29 to 30 years old at the time.
