Notes

Studio recording, 2005 (The Poison album). Guitarist Michael 'Padge' Paget used a Les Paul Custom with EMG 81/85 pickups. No pedals were used in the studio signal chain for distortion; effects were added in post or via rack/Pro Tools. All info specific to the album recording, not live setup.

Difficulty

The solo features fast alternate picking, string skipping, and expressive techniques like pinch harmonics and vibrato, requiring advanced control and timing, especially with effects in play.
