Notes

Studio recording, 1988/1989. John Squire used the Gretsch Country Gentleman for most of the debut album, including solos. The Fender Twin Reverb was the primary amp in the studio for this era. Mesa Boogie Mark IIC was also used live and possibly in the studio, but the Twin Reverb is most consistently cited for the album. Effects were stacked for solos.

Difficulty

The solo requires intermediate technique due to expressive bends, vibrato, and managing stacked fuzz/overdrive with modulation effects for a controlled, singing sustain.
