Notes

Studio recording, 2024/2025 remix of original 2004 session; gear inferred from era, interviews, and tone-matching sources. No direct studio documentation for the solo, but all sources agree on Les Paul + Marshall stack for Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge sessions. No evidence of alternate guitars or amps for the solo section.

Difficulty

The solo requires fast alternate picking, precise string skipping, and expressive bends/vibrato at high speed, making it challenging for intermediate players.
