Notes

Studio recording, circa 2021-2022. J Mascis is known to use multiple amps simultaneously in the studio, blending Marshall Plexi, Hiwatt, and Fender Twin. For solos, the Jazzmaster is almost always used. No evidence of alternate guitars for this solo. Pedalboard is not always used in studio; Mascis often uses individual pedals. No explicit evidence of Jesse Malin's rig for the solo—solo is in Mascis's signature style and tone.

Difficulty

The solo requires intermediate to advanced technique due to its fast picking, expressive bends, and the need to control sustain and feedback with a high-gain fuzz tone.
