Notes
Studio recording, 1999-2000 (Brave New World sessions, 2015 remaster is from this era). Dave Murray played most solos on this album with his Strat fitted with a bridge humbucker into a Marshall JCM800, boosted with a Boss SD-1 Super OverDrive. Settings are for studio, not live.

Difficulty
The solo features fast runs, expressive bends, and requires precise articulation and sustain control, making it challenging for intermediate players but not at the extreme technical level of shred solos.
