Notes

Live performance rig, as used by Hillsong Worship guitarists in the 2010s for 'Reaching for You (Live)'. Gear inferred from live pedalboard/amp walkthroughs and genre-standard practice. No direct evidence for exact serial/model, but Telecaster + AC30 is confirmed for Hillsong live era.

Difficulty

The solo is intermediate due to its melodic phrasing, need for clean articulation with heavy ambient effects, and precise timing to match the song's atmosphere.
