Notes

Studio recording, 2023-2024 era. All available tutorials and playthroughs indicate the solo is performed on a steel-string acoustic (Martin 000-15M), fingerpicked, with no evidence of electric guitar or amp use in the solo section. No pedalboard or amp is visible/audible in the solo section. No evidence of live rig for this section.
