Notes
Studio recording, 1981. Gear inferred from era, Felder's known preferences, and Equipboard artist page. No direct source confirms exact pickup model for this solo, but Stratocaster with single-coils is highly likely. JC-120 is confirmed as a Felder amp of choice for this period, and its clean headroom and built-in chorus/flanger are consistent with the solo's tone.
