Notes

Studio recording, 2001. Most sources reference Les Paul-style guitars and Marshall DSL amps for the distorted/solo sections. Some sources mention Fender Stratocaster for clean parts, but for the solo/distorted section, Les Paul-style is most likely. Chorus effect is mentioned for the solo. Settings are from Guitar Chalk and are for the distorted/crunchy section, not the clean intro.

Difficulty

The solo is melodic and not technically demanding, but requires good phrasing, timing, and control of bends and vibrato to match the recorded tone.
