Notes

Studio recording, 2019 (CLAPCLAPCLAP! album). No direct evidence of a traditional amp; Joyo AC Tone amp sim pedal is listed among Blaster Silonga's studio gear for this era. No explicit mention of live rig for this song's solo. Gear is based on studio session evidence for the album.

Difficulty

The solo features moderately fast runs, expressive bends, and requires dynamic control for sustain and articulation, making it challenging for intermediate players but not at an expert technical level.
