Notes

Studio recording, 2006 (Black Holes and Revelations album). Matt Bellamy used his Manson MB-1 with custom pickups and a Diezel VH4 for the solo. Effects include Digitech Whammy and Zvex Fuzz Factory. No evidence of live rig or alternate guitars for the studio solo.

Difficulty

The solo requires fast picking, accurate use of the Whammy pedal for pitch shifts, and control of fuzz-induced feedback, making it challenging for most players.
