Notes

Studio recording, 2015 (from the 'Madness' album sessions). Multiple amps were used on the record, but for solos/heavy sections, the EVH 5150 III and Soldano SLO-100 are specifically mentioned. Guitarist alternated between Les Paul Customs and Ernie Ball Armada, but Les Paul Customs are most likely for the solo based on interview context.

Difficulty

The solo requires solid intermediate lead technique, including alternate picking, melodic phrasing, and expressive bends, but does not reach shred-level complexity.
