Notes

Blaster Silonga used the Brian May Guitars BMG Special for the solo on 'Ang Pinagmulan' (2020 studio recording). Multiple sources confirm the BMG Special and the use of the Line 6 Pocket POD for amp/cab simulation. No evidence of a traditional tube amp in the studio; amp sound is from the Pocket POD. The DigiTech Whammy is confirmed for the solo. Studio recording, 2020.

Difficulty

The solo requires intermediate to advanced control of pitch-shifting effects (Whammy), smooth legato and melodic phrasing, and dynamic articulation, but does not reach shred-level technicality.
