Notes

Studio recording, 1991 (Arise album, remastered version). Gear confirmed for Arise era; solo section likely used bridge pickup for aggression, but neck pickup possible for smoother tone. No direct evidence of pedal use in solo, but boost/overdrive and noise gate are recommended for this tone. No evidence of time-based or modulation effects in solo.

Difficulty

The solo requires fast picking, tight rhythm, and precise muting to maintain clarity at high gain. While not extremely technical, the tempo and aggression demand advanced control and stamina.
