Notes
Studio recording, 2000 (Hybrid Theory). Guitar and amp confirmed for era and studio use; pickup model not explicitly stated but PRS Custom 24s of this era typically use PRS humbuckers. No explicit pedalboard or pickup selector info for this solo; pedal use inferred from audible effects.

The solo is melodic and moderately paced, with some phrasing and timing challenges due to delay repeats, but does not require advanced technical skills.
