Notes
Studio recording, 2009. Tosin Abasi used the Axe-Fx Ultra for all guitar tones on the debut album. Guitar is the Ibanez RG2228 8-string with EMG 808 pickups. No evidence of traditional amp or cab; all tones are Axe-Fx direct. No evidence of pedals in the studio chain for the solo section.

Difficulty
The solo in 'CAFO' is extremely technical, requiring mastery of advanced tapping, sweeping, and alternate picking at high speed, with complex rhythms and extended-range fretboard navigation.
