Notes
Studio recording, 1986-1987 for the original album; 2017 remaster uses the same recording. Guitar and amp confirmed for the song, but clean section settings are inferred as most sources focus on the distorted solo. No evidence of alternate guitars or amps for the clean section.

Difficulty
The clean section requires careful control of dynamics and timing to maintain clarity with chorus and delay effects, but does not involve advanced technical challenges.
