Notes
Studio recording, 2015-2016. Gear inferred from Premier Guitar rig rundown and typical studio setup for 'Way Down We Go'. No explicit photo/video confirmation for this exact solo, but Sovtek MiG 100 and Gibson ES-335 are the most likely based on artist's studio rig. Effects inferred from both sources and clear audio evidence.

Difficulty
The solo requires intermediate-level phrasing, expressive bends, and control of dynamics, but does not involve fast runs or advanced techniques. The timing with slapback delay and expressive vibrato add to the challenge.
