Notes
Studio recording, 2015-2016 (I Like It When You Sleep... album). Adam Hann used the Roland JC-120 for clean and chorus-heavy tones on this album, as confirmed by interviews and gear rundowns. No evidence of alternate guitar/amp for the solo section of 'The Sound'.

Difficulty
The solo requires intermediate-level technique due to its fast, melodic lines and the need for precise articulation to maintain clarity with a clean, chorus-heavy tone.
