Notes

Studio recording for 'Garage, Inc.' (1998). Kirk Hammett played the solo using his ESP KH Ouija with EMG 81 pickups into a Mesa/Boogie Mark IIC+ head. No explicit evidence of additional pedals or effects for the solo section beyond possible Tube Screamer use. Settings are estimated based on genre, amp, and era. Pickup selector set to bridge. No confirmed evidence of time-based or modulation effects on the solo section.

Difficulty

The solo requires intermediate to advanced picking technique, clean articulation at moderate tempo, and expressive phrasing with bends and vibrato, but does not reach the complexity of Metallica's most technical solos.
