Notes

Studio recording, 2019. Laur Joamets played the solo on 'Ronin' using a Fano PX6 with the mod switch engaged for extra midrange. Amp was a vintage 1955 Fender Tweed Deluxe, cranked for natural tube breakup. Effects included a Strymon Lex Rotary and Analog Man King of Tone, as per direct interview about the Sound & Fury sessions.

Difficulty

The solo requires advanced phrasing, fast picking, and dynamic control to interact with the rotary effect and maintain clarity at high volume.
