Notes

Studio recording, 1983-1984 for the 'Reckless' album. Guitarist Keith Scott is confirmed to have used his 1963 Fender Stratocaster for solos on this era's recordings. No explicit mention of pedals or amp model for the 'Heaven' solo in available sources. All pedalboard and amp details from sources refer to live/touring rigs or general gear, not specifically the studio session.

Difficulty

The solo requires intermediate-level control of bends, vibrato, and phrasing to achieve the smooth, singing lead tone, but does not involve advanced speed or complex techniques.
