Notes

Studio recording, Discovery album (2001). No official source confirms the exact guitar or amp model used on the original studio recording. Source 1 suggests a hollow or semi-hollow body guitar based on tone, but this is not definitive. The referenced recreation used a Les Paul and Hiwatt-style amp sim, but this is not the original gear.

Difficulty

The solo is technically accessible but requires expressive phrasing, dynamic control, and a sensitive touch to capture the emotional nuance and smooth, legato feel.
