Notes

Studio recording, 2004. Mark Tremonti used his PRS Tremonti Signature guitar with PRS Tremonti humbuckers. Amp blend likely included Mesa/Boogie Triple Rectifier as main high-gain source, with possible Marshall JCM800 and Bogner Uberschall blended in. Wah pedal (Morley Mark Tremonti signature) used for solo. No evidence of time-based or modulation effects in solo. Settings estimated based on genre, amp, and era due to lack of explicit knob values.

Difficulty

The solo features fast picking, expressive wah pedal use, and advanced phrasing requiring good technical control and timing, making it challenging for most intermediate players.
