Notes

Studio recording, 1988. Guitar and amp confirmed for era and video. Pickup upgrade to Bare Knuckle Juggernaut is documented for later years, but original likely used stock ESP humbuckers or early DiMarzio/EMG. No explicit pedalboard or effect chain for this solo in studio; live rigs often differ. Settings estimated based on genre, era, and amp model.

Difficulty

The solo demands advanced picking speed, fluid legato, and precise articulation at a fast tempo, typical of 80s power metal lead work.
