Bruce Springsteen
Electric Guitar Solo on
Cadillac Ranch

About

Bruce Springsteen's electric guitar solo on "Cadillac Ranch" is the first of two solos on this high-octane rocker from The River. Playing at 134 BPM in G, his brief guitar solo maintains the track's relentless energy and its celebration of American car culture. The solo's raw, unpretentious approach matches the song's spirit of exuberance and nostalgia for the mythology of the open road. He is followed by Clarence Clemons on tenor saxophone.

Bruce Springsteen was 30 to 31 years old at the time.
