Notes

Live performance, mid-1990s era (likely 1995-1996), as used by Jerry Cantrell for heavy/distorted sections. Peavey 5150 was Cantrell's main live amp post-1995. No evidence of alternate amp for this live solo. Speaker cabinet likely Marshall 1960B 4x12 with Celestion Greenbacks, but not confirmed for this specific show.

Difficulty

The solo requires intermediate to advanced technique, including expressive wah use, fast picking, and sustained bends, but does not reach expert-level complexity.
