Studio recording, 2007 (All of the Above album). Gear inferred from era-specific interviews and pedalboard photos; no direct studio documentation for this song, but consistent with Nigel Hendroff's known setup for this period.

Difficulty

The solo requires intermediate technique due to the need for precise timing with delay, dynamic control for sustain, and clean articulation through ambient effects. Expressive phrasing and vibrato add to the challenge.
