Notes

Studio recording, 2018. Gear inferred from band interviews and live photos from 'The Silver Scream' era. No direct studio documentation for this solo, but ESP 7-string with EMGs and Peavey 6505+ are confirmed as main rig for this album. No evidence of alternate guitars or amps for the solo section.

Difficulty

The solo requires advanced picking and legato technique, clean execution under high gain, and expressive bending/vibrato, making it challenging for most intermediate players.
