Notes

Studio recording, 1979, The Wall album. Solo section. Guitar is the Black Strat with stock single-coils. Amp is Hiwatt DR103, often blended with Yamaha RA-200 rotary speaker for modulation. Effects from pedalboard, not amp. No EMG pickups at this time.

The solo requires intermediate technique due to expressive bends, sustained notes with controlled vibrato, and precise timing to match delay repeats and phrasing.
