Notes
Studio recording, Tell All Your Friends (2002). John Nolan is credited for the solo. No direct evidence for pedal use in the solo, but genre and era suggest possible use of a distortion or overdrive pedal for additional gain. No evidence of modulation or time-based effects in the solo section.

Difficulty
The solo requires intermediate-level technique due to its fast tempo, tight picking, and articulation, but does not involve advanced techniques like sweep picking or complex phrasing.
