Notes

Studio recording, 1990 original tracks remixed in 2004; clean section likely used neck pickup on Jackson Kelly with Marshall JCM800 set for clean/edge-of-breakup. No evidence of live gear or alternate guitars for the clean solo section.

Difficulty

The clean solo section requires fast alternate picking, precise note separation, and dynamic control for clean articulation, making it challenging even for advanced players.
