Notes
Studio recording, 1986. Gear inferred from Dado Villa-Lobos' known studio use in the 'Dois' album era and restoration references to the Gibson used on classic Legião Urbana tracks. No direct studio documentation for this solo, but multiple sources reference the Gibson and Marshall pairing for this period.
