Notes
Studio recording, circa 1999-2001. Lenny Santos is known for using Ibanez Artcore hollowbodies and Roland JC-120 for clean bachata tones in this era. No direct photo/video evidence for this exact session, but this is the consensus among bachata guitarists and forums. Boss GE-7 EQ pedal is sometimes used for tone shaping.

Difficulty
The solo requires intermediate-level technique due to syncopated phrasing, percussive picking, and the need for clean articulation at moderate tempos typical of bachata solos.
