The title track of Robin Trower's album Victims of the Fury, released in 1980. Trower's playing is blues-infused and often compared to Jimi Hendrix's. The sources available here don't name the guitar, amp or effects used on this record, so the Stratocaster and Marshall are a suggestion. Use the neck pickup with a loud, slightly broken-up amp, add a wah or vibe if you want the swirling sound, and play with big bends and long sustain. No transcription could be checked, so no tuning is given.
