Notes

Studio recording, 1998. Guitarist Ross Godfrey has stated use of Telecaster and Mesa/Boogie Transatlantic TA-15 in interviews and gear rundowns. Effects pedals from Lovetone (Meatball, Doppelganger, Big Cheese) are confirmed as part of Morcheeba's studio arsenal, but not all are confirmed for this specific solo. Signal chain likely includes fuzz and modulation. No evidence of live rig for this recording.

Difficulty

The solo requires intermediate phrasing, expressive bends, and dynamic control to interact with the fuzz and modulation effects, but does not involve advanced speed or complex technical passages.
