Notes
Studio recording, 2014 album version. Gear inferred from Nigel Hendroff's known studio rig for this era and genre. No explicit source confirms exact guitar/amp for this song/solo, but Telecaster into AC30 is standard for Hillsong Worship studio work in 2010s.

Difficulty
The solo is intermediate due to its expressive phrasing, need for dynamic control, and playing cleanly with heavy ambient effects. No advanced techniques, but requires good feel and timing.
