Notes

Studio recording, 2009 (Conditions album). No direct evidence for 'Fader' solo, but all available sources and band interviews confirm Telecaster and Vox AC30 for this album's lead tones. Settings and pedal choices inferred from Sweet Disposition sources and audible effects in Fader solo.

Difficulty

The solo requires intermediate-level technique due to its fast tempo, need for precise picking, and the challenge of playing cleanly with ambient delay and reverb effects.
