Notes

Studio recording, circa 2007 (All of the Above album). No direct studio documentation for 'Solution' solo, but Nigel Hendroff is known for using Telecasters and Vox AC30s in this period. Pedalboard likely included Strymon and Boss digital effects for ambient tones. No evidence of amp distortion or heavy gain; clean tone focus.

The solo requires careful timing with delay, smooth volume pedal swells, and clean articulation, but does not involve advanced technical runs or complex chord voicings.
