Notes

Studio recording, 1975 original session; 2025 Remaster is from this era. No evidence of live or modern digital gear on the original studio solo. No confirmed pedal use for the solo, but Big Muff fuzz is sometimes associated with Ace Frehley, though not confirmed for this track.

Difficulty

The solo requires intermediate skill due to its fast pentatonic licks, aggressive bends, and dynamic picking, but does not involve advanced techniques or complex timing.
