Notes

Studio recording, 2022. No direct evidence of exact guitar/amp, but Sweetwater interview with Tim Miller (Elevation Worship guitarist) describes using a custom Strat with Michael Landau HSS pickups and Line 6 Helix/Quad Cortex for worship sessions. No evidence of analog amps or other guitars for this song's solo section.

Difficulty

The solo requires intermediate-level control of delay timing, expressive bends and vibrato, and dynamic sensitivity to create an ambient, soaring lead line typical of modern worship solos.
