Studio recording, 2012 album '2'. Gear confirmed for this era and album; solo section likely used same setup as main track. No evidence of alternate guitar or amp for solo. Pedals inferred from era and audible effects.

Difficulty

The solo is melodic and expressive but not technically demanding, requiring clean bends, good timing, and tasteful use of vibrato rather than speed or advanced techniques.
