Notes

Live performance at The Summit, Houston, Texas, November 5, 1981. Guitar is Neal Schon's main Les Paul Pro Deluxe, heavily modded but retaining P-90 pickups for this era. Amp is confirmed Marshall JMP 2203 Mk II. Effects include tape echo (Echoplex) and likely analog delay and reverb. Settings are for live use, not studio.

Difficulty

The solo requires advanced melodic phrasing, fast runs, and expressive bending/vibrato, demanding strong control of dynamics and articulation typical of Neal Schon's style.
