Notes

Studio recording for 'Frontiers' album (1983). Neal Schon was known to use a Gibson Les Paul Custom into a Mesa/Boogie Mark IIC+ for Journey's early-mid 80s studio work. No direct evidence of live rig or later PRS/Blackstar/Fractal gear being used on this recording. Effects are likely pedals and rack units typical for the era, not amp-based. No evidence of effects loop use in studio.

Difficulty

The solo requires expressive phrasing, smooth bends, and precise timing to match the melodic lines and ambient effects, but does not demand extreme speed or advanced techniques.
