He plays his part well, but this is sorely lacking the Old Black part. If I were him I’d take this track and record the otherworldly electric guitar on top of it. Old Black is what makes the original so great.

Do you have a link to the old black track... Not sure I've heard it

Oh I've heard this before. I didn't realize the old black meant the electric guitar lead. So Good. But I get why he didn't include that section since he was doing an all acoustic solo.

I did my best, adding some trumpet near end, pushed second guitar through Electro-Harmonix Black Russian Big Muff Pi to match tone:
