Notes

Live performance, circa 2017-2018 (Ceremony and Devotion era). No direct source confirms the exact guitar/amp for this specific solo, but Ghost's live rig for this period is well-documented in interviews and live photos. No evidence of alternate guitars or amps used for the solo section.

Difficulty

The solo requires intermediate to advanced technique, including fast picking, accurate bends, and dynamic control to cut through the live mix, but does not reach extreme technicality or shred levels.
