Notes

Studio recording, 1997. Used for the 'Around the Fur' album. Guitar is ESP Custom with Seymour Duncan JB pickup. Amp is A/DA MP-1 preamp into Marshall 9200 power amp (not a JCM800 for this album). Effects rack included Rocktron Intellifex for delay/chorus/reverb. Settings are for studio, not live.

Difficulty

The solo requires intermediate lead technique, careful control of sustain and feedback, and the ability to play cleanly through heavy fuzz and swirling modulation effects.
