Notes

Studio recording, original 2013 version. Guitar and amp confirmed as used by Rubin Pollock in this era, but not explicitly tied to this specific solo. No direct evidence of alternate guitars/amps for the solo. No explicit pickup selector info. No explicit pedalboard photo for this session, but overdrive and delay are both referenced as key to the KALEO sound in this period.

Difficulty

The solo requires expressive phrasing, controlled bends, and dynamic picking, but does not involve extreme speed or advanced techniques, making it moderately challenging for intermediate players.
