Notes

Studio recording, 2010s era. Gear inferred from Premier Guitar rig rundown and typical Halestorm studio setup. No explicit confirmation for this exact solo, but Explorer + Marshall stack is standard for Lzzy Hale in this period.

Difficulty

The solo requires intermediate to advanced lead technique, including fast picking, expressive bends, and control over phrasing with delay, but does not reach shred-level complexity.
