Notes

Studio recording, 2004-2005 (City of Evil sessions). Guitar and amp confirmed for this era and song. Clean section is likely Synyster Gates, not Zacky Vengeance, based on lead role and gear. No evidence of alternate guitars for clean solo section. Chorus pedal confirmed for clean part. No evidence of additional pedals or amp effects for clean solo.

Difficulty

The clean solo section requires fast, accurate picking and precise note separation at a high tempo, with careful control to maintain clarity and avoid unwanted noise, especially with chorus modulation.
