Notes

Studio recording, 1987-1988. All details refer to the original studio version of 'Группа крови' solo. Guitar and pickup confirmed for Kasparyan in this era; amp inferred from genre/era and lack of tube amp access in Soviet studios. Effects chain based on forum consensus and audible effects in solo.

Difficulty

The solo is melodically straightforward but requires careful timing and control to maintain clarity with flanger and delay effects, and expressive phrasing for the iconic lead lines.
