Heart, 1976, from *Dreamboat Annie*. Solo by *Roger Fisher*.

Roger Fisher's extended solo stretches the single into a showcase for Heart's early, psychedelic-tinged guitar sound.

Magic Man stretches out in a way few singles dared, and Roger Fisher uses the space well. After the dreamy, slightly mysterious verses, the song opens into a long instrumental section where his guitar winds through swirling, psychedelic-tinged lines over a hypnotic groove. His tone is warm and saturated, and he mixes fast flurries with bent, sustained notes that echo the song's seductive mood. It is a snapshot of Heart's early sound, before their later polish, when the band was still rooted in late-1960s rock exploration. Listen for how the synthesiser and guitar blur into each other during the extended break, and how Fisher leans on repeated phrases to build a trance-like feeling rather than a showy peak.
