Notes

Studio recording, 2006, The Black Parade album. Frank Iero used the Telecaster Deluxe for 'I Don't Love You' (confirmed for TV/live, highly likely for studio based on era and interviews). Ray Toro is credited with the solo, but Frank's Telecaster Deluxe is associated with this song's signature tone. Amp confirmed as JCM800 2203 for Ray Toro on The Black Parade studio sessions. Pedals confirmed for solo: Boss BD-2 Blues Driver and Dunlop Cry Baby Wah. No evidence of other effects.

Difficulty

The solo requires intermediate lead technique, including expressive wah pedal control, accurate bends, and melodic phrasing, but does not involve advanced shredding or complex timing.
