Notes
Gear is based on Josh Farro's known studio setup for the 'Riot!' and 'Decode' era (2008). No direct studio photo evidence for the exact solo section, but multiple sources confirm this amp and guitar as his main studio rig. Settings are estimated for studio recording, not live.

Difficulty
The solo requires intermediate to advanced picking technique, clean execution at high gain, and expressive phrasing with bends and vibrato, but does not involve extreme shred or complex timing.
