Notes
Studio recording, 2015. Guitar and amp are both virtual instruments/plugins, not physical hardware. All evidence points to the solo being programmed with Shreddage X and ReValver HPSE's 'Heavy Chug' preset in the DAW, not a real guitar/amp. No evidence of live performance or alternate gear for the solo.
Tone Character(10)
tight and compressedsinging sustainarticulate and clearmodern digital distortionslightly scooped midsfast attackprecise note separationnot muddy or fuzzyprocessed, synthetic edgemoderate reverb tail
Difficulty
The solo is fast and requires precise picking and timing, but as it was programmed in a DAW, the technical challenge for a human player is intermediate to hard, mainly due to speed and phrasing.
