Notes
Studio recording, 1994-1995 (The Bends sessions). Settings and gear confirmed for the era; solo section likely used the bridge pickup and amp's dirty channel. No evidence of live/touring rig or alternate guitars for this solo.

The solo is technically straightforward but demands control over dynamics and phrasing to achieve the expressive, touch-sensitive tone characteristic of the recording.
