Notes

Studio recording, 2017 (Rocket album). Alex G is known to use the Framus Panthera and Fender Acoustics CD-60CE, but for electric clean tones, the Panthera is most likely. The solo was recorded in studio using Logic's Amp Designer plugin with the 'Original Nashville' preset, per interview. No evidence of live rig or physical amp for this part.

Difficulty

The solo is not technically demanding in terms of speed or advanced techniques, but requires careful phrasing, expressive bends, and dynamic control to maintain the clean, emotive tone.
