Effects & Signal Chain

Notes

Studio recording, 1980. Neil Giraldo used his BC Rich Eagle and Marshall combo for the solo on the original studio track. No evidence of alternate guitars or amps for the solo. Effects chain included Schaefer-Vega wireless and Eventide H949 for stereo sound, but no evidence these directly affected the solo tone.

Difficulty

The solo requires intermediate to advanced technique, including fast alternate picking, precise bends, and syncopated phrasing, but does not involve extreme speed or advanced shred techniques.
