Notes

Studio recording, 2004, Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge sessions. Gear confirmed for album era and Ray Toro, but not every song section is documented. No explicit source for clean solo section, but Les Paul Standard and Marshall JCM2000 are confirmed for the album. Clean section likely used amp's clean channel.
