Notes
Studio recording, 2013-2014. Ben McLeod's main guitar for the solo is a customized Gibson Les Paul Standard. The amp is a custom Dale Amps head modeled after a Marshall JCM800, confirmed in Premier Guitar rig rundowns. Pedalboard and effects are based on studio-era sources and audible effects in the solo.
