Notes

Studio recording, 1992-1993. Acoustic guitar is the primary instrument for the clean solo section. No evidence of electric guitar or amp-based effects in the clean solo. No pedalboard or stompboxes confirmed for this section. If any amp was used, it would be a clean Fender Twin Reverb or similar, but most likely the acoustic was recorded direct or mic'd in the studio.

Difficulty

The solo section requires clean, accurate picking and smooth chord transitions on acoustic, but does not involve advanced techniques or fast runs.
