Notes

Studio recording, 2020 (I Let It In and It Took Everything). Erik Bickerstaffe uses a Fender Player Telecaster for 'Is It Really You?' with the five highest strings of drop D and a low-A tuning. Amp is Axe-Fx III, likely using a clean or edge-of-breakup model. Pedalboard includes DigiTech Whammy Ricochet and chorus pedal, with chorus effect confirmed for this song. Effects are primarily from pedals and Axe-Fx III, not traditional amps.

Difficulty

The solo requires intermediate technique, careful control of dynamics, and nuanced use of effects to achieve the lush, ambient sound. The challenge lies in expressive playing and managing multiple modulation/time-based effects.
