Notes

Studio recording, 2023 (from 'Take Me Back to Eden' sessions). IV's rig for this era is digital/modeler-based, with analog gain and octave pedals before the Quad Cortex. All effects and amp/cab tones are handled in the Quad Cortex. Guitar is tuned to F C# G# C# F# A# D# (Drop C# with low F, as per covers and tuning breakdowns).

Difficulty

The solo requires advanced picking technique, precise timing, and the ability to navigate extended-range fretboard positions at speed, making it challenging for most intermediate players.
