Notes

Studio recording, 2010s+ (Unlimited Love era, Josh Klinghoffer on guitar, not Frusciante). Gear inferred from Premier Guitar rig rundown and Ultimate Guitar. No direct studio photo for this song, but sources confirm Telecaster and Marshall Major were main setup for heavy/distorted tones in this era.

Difficulty

The solo requires intermediate to advanced technique due to its tempo, use of bends and vibrato, and maintaining clarity under heavy distortion and effects.
