Effects & Signal Chain
No effects used for this tone
Notes
Studio recording, 2005-2006 (album 'Mr. A-Z' released 2005). No direct evidence for exact guitar/amp, but Stratocaster and Fender Twin Reverb are most probable for this era and style. No evidence of pedal use in solo section; tone is clean and slightly compressed, with clear single-coil articulation.

Difficulty
The solo is intermediate due to its melodic phrasing, need for dynamic control, and clean articulation, but does not require advanced speed or complex techniques.
