Notes

Studio recording, 2012 (The 2nd Law). Solo section uses heavy fuzz/distortion. Tech 21 SansAmp GT2 used for additional amp simulation/distortion in stereo. Dickinson 2x12 Mk2 amp also present in rig but not confirmed for solo. Guitar is Manson MB-1 with Hot Rails bridge pickup, as used by Bellamy on this era's recordings.

Difficulty

The solo requires advanced control of bends, fast picking, and precise use of effects for sustain and stereo width, making it challenging for most intermediate players.
