Notes

Studio recording for 'Enema of the State' (1999). Tom DeLonge used the Fender Tom DeLonge Subcaster with a single Seymour Duncan Invader in the bridge, into a Mesa/Boogie Triple Rectifier, likely blended with a Marshall JCM 900. No evidence of live rig or alternate guitars for the clean solo section. Settings and effects are estimated for the clean section based on genre, era, and amp type.

Difficulty

The solo requires clean, articulate picking and good timing, but does not involve advanced techniques or fast runs, making it accessible to most players with basic lead skills.
