Notes

Studio recording context for 'I'll Be Alright Without You (2024 Remaster)'. Gear based on Neal Schon's documented studio/live rig for Journey in the 2010s+, specifically the PRS NS-15 prototype and Blackstar Series One 100 amp. Effects and pedals are drawn from confirmed pedalboard photos and rig rundowns from this era. No evidence of alternate guitars or amps for this solo. Pickup choice inferred from typical Schon solo tone and pickup configuration.

Difficulty

The solo requires intermediate to advanced phrasing skills, expressive vibrato, and precise control over dynamics and timing, especially when playing with delay and modulation effects. While not extremely fast, the solo's melodic phrasing and sustain demand good technique and musicality.
