Notes

Studio recording, 1995. Tim Armstrong is documented using the Gretsch G5191 and Mesa/Boogie Dual Rectifier for Rancid's classic era. No evidence of pedal use for the solo section; amp distortion is primary. Pickup and amp models are confirmed for this era and likely used on the 'Bob' solo. No evidence of alternate guitars or amps for the solo section.

Difficulty

The solo requires fast picking and tight rhythm but uses straightforward punk phrasing and no advanced techniques, making it accessible to intermediate players.
