Notes

Studio recording for 'Heaven' (2003 album). Henry Garza used his main Stratocaster through a blend of Fender Twin Reverb and Marshall JCM2000 amps, with a TS9 Tube Screamer and Vox V847 Wah as his only pedals. No evidence of other pedals or rack effects on this recording. Settings estimated based on typical usage and era. Pickup selector likely in neck or neck+middle position for solo. Studio context, not live.

Difficulty

The solo requires intermediate technique, with expressive wah pedal use, dynamic phrasing, and smooth bends/vibrato. While not extremely fast or technical, it demands control and feel to capture the vocal-like, bluesy character.
