Notes

Studio recording, 1993 release. Guitar confirmed via video/photo evidence for 'Crazy' solo. Amp model not explicitly stated for this song, but Marshall is strongly indicated by era, genre, and artist's typical studio rig. No evidence of live rig or alternate gear for the studio solo.

Difficulty

The solo requires intermediate to advanced control of bends, vibrato, and expressive phrasing, but does not feature extreme speed or advanced shred techniques.
