A suite on Mirage, released in March 1974, inspired by J. R. R. Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings, with Andrew Latimer's guitar and flute and Peter Bardens's keyboards. The guitar parts range from soft, melodic lines to a warm, singing lead tone. No source available here confirms the exact guitar and amp on this recording, so a Les Paul through a Marshall stands in. Use the neck pickup, a warm, sustained lead tone with moderate gain and play with long, legato phrasing.
