Notes

Studio recording, 1995 (album release year). No direct evidence for exact guitar/amp for solo, but Les Paul + Marshall is widely cited as the core setup for DC Talk's 'Jesus Freak' era. No evidence of alternate guitars or amps for the solo section. Settings and pedals are estimated based on genre, era, and the heavily fuzzed/distorted solo sound.

Difficulty

The solo requires intermediate technique due to the need for controlled bends, vibrato, and maintaining articulation through a saturated fuzz tone. The tempo and phrasing are moderate, but the heavy distortion demands careful muting and dynamic control.
