Notes

Studio recording, 1997. Stephen Carpenter used his ESP Stef B-7 with EMG 81-7 pickups into a Mesa/Boogie Dual Rectifier for the 'Around the Fur' album, including 'My Own Summer (Shove It)'. No direct evidence of pedal use for the solo, but a boost pedal is sometimes mentioned for tightening the tone. No evidence of time-based or modulation effects in the solo section.

Difficulty

The solo requires tight rhythm, palm muting, and precise picking, but does not involve advanced lead techniques or fast runs.
