Notes
Studio recording for 'Diamond Eyes' (2010), solo section. Stephen Carpenter used Axe-Fx II for all tones on this album, with patches based on his Marshall JMP-1/EL34 100/100 rack rig. No evidence of live rig or analog pedals used in the studio for this song/solo.

Difficulty
The solo demands intermediate technique due to its use of alternate picking, string skipping, and maintaining articulation in a high-gain, low-tuned context. While not extremely fast or technical, it requires control and precision.
