Notes

Studio recording, 1986, from the album 'To Hell With The Devil'. Michael Sweet and Oz Fox both used Charvel guitars with high-output humbuckers and Mesa/Boogie Mark series amps for solos. No evidence of live/touring gear or later signature models used on this recording.

Difficulty

The solo requires advanced technique due to its fast legato runs, precise picking, expressive bends, and use of a cocked wah for tone shaping.
