Notes

Studio recording for 'Era Vulgaris' (2007). Josh Homme is known to layer amps and use the Maton BB1200 JH for this era. Settings and pedals are based on studio context, not live. Pedalboard details for this specific solo are not fully confirmed in sources, but fuzz and phaser are both cited as signature for QOTSA solos.

Difficulty

The solo requires intermediate to advanced control of fuzzed lead tone, fast picking, and articulation within a dense mix. While not technically virtuosic, the phrasing and tone control demand solid technique.
