Notes

Studio recording, 1987. George Lynch was known to use the Randall RG-80 combo for Dokken's 'Back for the Attack' album, including 'Heaven Sent' solo, with the amp miked behind his wall of Randall stacks. The ESP Kamikaze with a Seymour Duncan Distortion was his primary solo guitar for this era. No evidence of Marshall JCM800 for this specific solo in studio, despite live use.

Difficulty

The solo requires advanced technical skill, including fast legato, precise alternate picking, expressive vibrato, and complex phrasing typical of George Lynch's style.
