Notes

Gear based on Álvaro López's pedalboard and rig as documented during the 'Ven Aquí' tour (2023-2024), which aligns with the era of 'Nueva Vida.' No evidence of a traditional amp in studio/live context; amp/cab sim pedal used for both. Studio vs. live distinction unclear, but pedalboard and direct amp sim strongly suggest direct recording/live rig.

Difficulty

The solo requires advanced lead guitar techniques including fast legato, alternate picking, and expressive use of bends and vibrato, all while managing effects for clarity and sustain.
