Notes

Studio recording, 2013. Gear confirmed from Equipboard and social media posts from the album era. No explicit confirmation of pickup selector position or exact amp settings for the solo section, but pedalboard and amp model are well-documented for this period.

Difficulty

The solo requires intermediate technique with clear articulation, melodic phrasing, and good timing to match the delay repeats, but does not involve advanced shredding or complex fingerings.
