Notes

Studio recording, 2002-2003 (Damnation album sessions). Mikael Åkerfeldt used a PRS McCarty with Dragon II pickups into a Laney VH100R for clean tones on 'Windowpane'. No evidence of other guitars or amps for this specific solo section. Settings and effects are inferred from forum discussions and the album's production era.

Difficulty

The solo requires intermediate technique, with a focus on expressive bends, smooth phrasing, and dynamic control to maintain clarity and sustain on a clean tone. Timing and articulation are critical for capturing the emotional feel.
