Notes

Studio recording, circa 1997 (album release year). Gear inferred from genre, era, and artist's typical setup for neoclassical shred in the 1990s. No direct source confirms exact gear for this solo, but Ibanez RG with DiMarzio pickups and Marshall JCM800 is standard for Tamas Szekeres in this period.
