Notes

Studio recording for 'Private Music' (2023). Stef Carpenter used the Kiesel Vader 8-string for the first time on this album. JMP-1 preamp was a staple for Deftones' heavy tones in this era. Settings estimated based on typical Deftones JMP-1 usage and genre. No evidence of live rig or alternate guitars for this solo.

Difficulty

The solo requires intermediate to advanced technique due to the extended range of the 8-string, precise muting, and dynamic control to manage sustain and ambient effects. Not extremely fast or technical, but challenging for those unfamiliar with baritone/8-string guitars and effect layering.
