Notes

Studio recording, 1989. Scotti Hill used a Charvel San Dimas with a Seymour Duncan JB in the bridge. The ADA MP-1 preamp was a staple for Skid Row's first album, often paired with a Marshall JCM800 power amp. No evidence of live/touring gear for this specific solo. No evidence of Rivera or Groove Tubes preamps for this track.

Difficulty

The solo requires advanced lead techniques including fast legato, expressive bends, and precise timing with delay. The phrasing and melodic control demand a high level of skill typical of late 80s hair metal solos.
