Notes

Live performance, 2006 acoustic tour; Dave Grohl played solo on acoustic guitar, plugged in with onboard pickup, no evidence of electric guitar or high-gain amp for this section. No evidence of electric amp or pedalboard for this acoustic solo. Effects (reverb, delay) likely from mixing desk or PA, not from pedals or amp.
