Notes

Studio recording, 2000 (Hybrid Theory). Guitar and amp confirmed for era and studio use; pickup model not explicitly stated but PRS Custom 24s of this era typically use PRS humbuckers. No explicit pedalboard or pickup selector info for this solo; pedal use inferred from audible effects.

Difficulty

The solo is melodic and moderately paced, with some phrasing and timing challenges due to delay repeats, but does not require advanced technical skills.
