Notes

Studio recording, 2007 era. Jack Barakat used a custom ESP Eclipse II with only the bridge pickup and volume knob active. The Budda Superdrive 30 was used for the core tone, profiled into a Kemper for later use, but the original recording was with the Budda. No evidence of live gear or other guitars/amps for the solo section. Delay pedal (Line 6 DL4) is part of his board, likely used for solo. No evidence of modulation effects. Pickup selector locked to bridge.

Difficulty

The solo requires fast alternate picking and string skipping at a brisk tempo, with precise timing to match delay repeats, but does not involve advanced techniques like sweep picking or tapping.
