Studio cover gear chain closely matches the original solo tone; no official studio session info for Ben&Ben, but the referenced cover is the only source specifying gear for the solo. Recording is from the 2020s studio version.

The solo is intermediate due to its melodic phrasing, expressive bends, and need for precise timing with delay repeats, but does not require advanced speed or complex techniques.
