Notes

Studio recording, 1990. Jerry Cantrell used a G&L Rampage with a Seymour Duncan JB in the bridge into a Marshall JCM800 2203 modified by Bogner for most of Facelift, including solos. Some sources mention other amps (Bogner Fish, Soldano, Peavey 5150), but the JCM800/Bogner mod is most directly tied to this album's core tones. No evidence of live/touring substitutions for the solo section.

Difficulty

The solo requires intermediate to advanced technique, including accurate picking, expressive bends, and maintaining clarity under high gain. The phrasing and note targeting are challenging but not at shredder level.
