In standard tuning, this solo can be played using the hammer on/pull off method.
But obviously Rick played it differently due to the open G tuning/capo.
The way his left hand slides up and down the fret board looks really unique. I have seen a couple of YouTube videos of people covering it but they never got the fluency Rick did.
It's easy to look at him playing the power chords on Caroline and think he was a less capable guitarist but he was the best rhythm guitarist out there🎸
