Notes

Settings and gear are based on studio recording context for the original track, which the 2024 Remaster is sourced from. Neal Schon is known to have used a Gibson Les Paul Standard into a Marshall JCM800 for the solo, with pedals for overdrive and delay. Some sources mention live rig variations, but this is focused on the studio version. Year: 1981 (original recording), remastered in 2024.

Difficulty

The solo requires advanced control of bends, vibrato, and sustain, as well as fast melodic runs and expressive phrasing, making it challenging for intermediate players.
