Notes

Studio recording, 1989-1990 era. Gear confirmed for this period and song by Equipboard and MusicRadar. Clean tone sections likely used the neck pickup and amp set clean, with chorus and reverb added via pedals or rack. No evidence of Soldano or high-gain amps for clean sections.

Difficulty

The solo requires intermediate technique due to expressive bends, vibrato, and dynamic control, but does not demand extreme speed or advanced technical skills.
