Notes
Studio recording, 1984 album 'Two Steps from the Move' by Hanoi Rocks (song: 'Don't You Ever Leave Me'). Gear confirmed for this era and band, but no direct source for Poison's solo section. No evidence of pedal use for this solo in available sources; amp likely cranked for lead tone.

Difficulty
The solo features moderately fast melodic lines, expressive bends, and requires good control of sustain and articulation for a classic 80s rock lead sound.
