Notes

Studio recording, original album version (2009). Charlie Starr is confirmed to use a Les Paul Standard with PAF-style pickups and a Marshall JCM800 2203 for core tones. Some sources mention Fender Twin Reverb in the rig, but the JCM800 is the primary amp for solos. Effects are added via pedalboard, not amp. No evidence of alternate guitars or amps for this solo section.

Difficulty

The solo requires intermediate technique, including expressive wah use, dynamic picking, and control of bends and vibrato for a singing, sustaining lead. The phrasing and timing with delay add moderate complexity.
