Notes
Studio recording, 2017-2018 for 'Tranquility Base Hotel & Casino'. Jamie Cook is seen with the Woolworth Top 20 and Bad Cat Wild Cat 40R in the official music video for 'Four out of Five', and this matches known studio gear for the album. No evidence of live substitution for the solo section.

The solo is intermediate due to its phrasing, dynamic control, and the need for expressive, clean articulation with ambient effects.
