Notes

Studio recording, 2022 (from album 'Gabriel'). No direct evidence of live rig or specific amp/pedal models for the solo. Keshi is seen with a Stratocaster in various performances and videos, and the solo's tone matches a Strat neck or neck+middle pickup. No evidence of boutique or vintage amps; likely DI or amp sim with plugins. No evidence of analog pedals used in studio.

Difficulty

The solo requires intermediate-level phrasing, expressive bends, and smooth legato, but does not involve fast runs or advanced techniques. The main challenge is maintaining a smooth, emotive feel with precise dynamics.
