Notes
Studio recording, 2015 (Rattle That Lock sessions). Guitar and amp confirmed by session photos and detailed forum analysis. Clean solo section uses fingerstyle technique, not pick.

Difficulty
The solo requires intermediate fingerstyle technique, expressive dynamics, and careful control of sustain and delay. The phrasing and touch sensitivity are challenging, but there are no fast runs or advanced technical passages.
